I'm Chaitanya. I write fiction and personal essays, and this site is where I keep them. By day I run a company. The work is fast, full of decisions and deadlines. The writing here is what I do when nobody is waiting for an answer.

 

The pieces on Quiet Narratives are mostly about people, the small things they carry, and the worlds I build to think about them. They are not meant to be read at speed. There is enough writing in the world that wants to grab you by the collar. This is not that. The words on this page were set down slowly, and they hold their meaning best when you read them the same way.

 

If you've come this far, sit a while. Stay until something settles.
