Synopsis
What if your workday was quietly killing you?
Nine Lives explores what happens when ambition and silence collide — and ordinary people are pushed to extraordinary limits.
Nine Lives – Lives at the Edge of Work and Home is a collection of Indian short stories that lay bare the quiet battles of ordinary people trying to make a living in corporate India.
Nine emotionally charged stories that examine the fragile balance between duty and desire, ambition and burnout, silence and survival — and the moral ambiguity that lies between most decisions.
Set between 1990 and 2025, a period of tumultuous change in the lives of middle-class Indians, these stories chart a landscape where ambition bloomed like never before — but so did anxiety, loneliness, and quiet disillusionment.
Here, material success often meant climbing the corporate ladder — but not without cost.
Behind the gleaming facades of offices and the stillness of middle-class homes, Nine Lives captures moments of great aspiration and quiet ruin.
From a dutiful husband buckling under the weight of expectations to a weary caregiver confronting the limits of love, each life portrayed here is painfully ordinary — and therefore, powerfully real.
With psychological depth and a keen sense of human frailty, Venkatachalam Viswanathan brings to light the untold truths of those who live silently, yet feel deeply.
If you’ve ever worked hard, loved quietly, or longed for something more, Nine Lives will stay with you long after the last page.
