The Sum of All Parts

A Collection by Radhika
What defines a life: the roles we are given, or the choices we make in the dark?
 
In this evocative collection of twelve stories, the boundaries of family, sacrifice, and self-discovery are laid bare. From the rain-soaked villages of Tamil Nadu to the sterile corridors of corporate offices and the crowded shores of Marina Beach, The Sum of All Parts traverses the landscape of the human heart with unflinching honesty. .
Through the lenses of mathematical precision and poetic justice, these stories explore the "positional irregularities" of our lives—the moments we are treated as doormats and the moments we choose to become the chisel. Whether exploring the "detached emotions" of a broken marriage or the "stolen moments" of a busy mother, this collection is a tribute to the resilient spirit that refuses to be defined by anyone else's expectations.
 
Raw, relatable, and deeply resonant, The Sum of All Parts proves that we are not merely the tragedies that befall us, but the beautiful, complex total of everything we choose to survive.
