WHEN PEACOCKS CRY FOR RAIN
A Novella by Arpan Ghoshal
Amid the blistering Delhi heat and the unspoken arguments echoing through midnight corridors, young Ayaan clings to a single, radiant dream: making music that can free him from his family's oppressive walls. His father, Arvind, wears his contradictions like a second skin-piously bowing before Goddess Durga by day while betraying his wife under the cloak of night. His mother, Meera, quietly nurses the raw ache of an abandoned Bharatanatyam career, haunted still by her promise of a red clock to the son she fears she's losing. When old secrets claw their way to the surface, the family's fragile façade begins to crumble. In the ensuing storm of heartbreak and revelation, Ayaan must decide if he has the courage to create a new melody for his life-one that might shatter his family's guarded silence forever.
When Peacocks Cry for Rain
pulses with the power of music, the enduring strength of motherly love, and the surprising ways hope can emerge even in the darkest corners of betrayal. Through the rhythmic grace of dance and the electric strum of a guitar, Ayaan and Meera discover that honesty and art can liberate them from cages they never knew they'd inherited. Step into their world, and watch as a peacock's call for rain becomes the triumphant dance of a family daring to break free at last.
