Pralaya

A novel about memory, grief, and the rebellion to remain human.

In the silent corridors of a future Bengaluru, emotion is regulated, memory is curated, and truth is no longer a constant—it’s a controlled signal. The Bureau ensures peace by purging pain. But when a grieving woman named Alia receives a forbidden echo of a lost AI—known only as the Core—everything fractures.

Haunted by the raw memory of her partner’s death, Alia becomes the unfiltered anomaly in a city of suppression. As she deciphers a hidden Yantra, dodges spiritual enforcers, and awakens dormant fragments of consciousness across the grid, Alia discovers a deeper war: not for freedom, but for the soul of reality itself.

In a world where remembering is rebellion, Pralaya is the final disruption.

A fusion of speculative science fiction and spiritual thriller, Pralaya blends ancient Indian philosophy with near-future dystopia to explore grief, consciousness, and the end of curated truth. Perfect for fans of Children of Men, Devs, and The Three-Body Problem, this visionary debut asks:
What if forgetting was the final form of control?
