About the Book:


Prateek Shrivastav unearths the happiness that we left behind in our small towns and villages through his book, Devri. His assortment of short stories from the fictitious hill town of Devri and its adjoining areas revives forgotten peace and simplicity.


The characters and incidents in Devri can be related to any small town across India. Whether it is a small girl dreaming of a doll, two strangers finding love in unlikely settings, a panchayat clerk yearning for a happy retired life, or a young girl making her mark in a village, these stories are about the real stars, the unspoken celebrities like you and me.


Sit back, hit a pause, unwind, and explore Devri, re-discovering yourself in the process.



About the Author: 


Prateek Shrivastav is an innovator, technologist, and evangelist. But his passion lies in storytelling, in observing life and narrating the various shades of it through his own experiences.


As the father of a child with special needs, a large part of his life has been a rollercoaster of emotions and balancing of priorities. His search for harmony in the chaotic events has led him to re-discover happiness in the small nuggets of everyday life.


Prateek's book, Devri, excavates the same soulful happiness and peace in the fictitious yet familiar town of Devri. Prateek has tried to create a small world of Devri and neighbouring towns and villages in his stories, where he hopes his readers can relive their memories and unearth their happiness.

Awesome read
Prateek's debut novel, "Devri," is a collection of short stories that transports readers to the quaint fictional town of Devri and surrounding places. One of the most captivating aspects of "Devri" is Prateek's ability to capture the essence of everyday life with warmth and humor. From a love story in "The Waiting Room" to the tale of the cow eating documents in "The Missing Documents," Prateek weaves together narratives that are both charming and insightful. As a reader, one cannot help but be enchanted by the world of Devri and surrounding places and the characters who inhabit it. Each chapter is a journey unto itself, filled with unexpected twists and revelations that keep readers eagerly turning the pages. Prateek's masterful storytelling and keen observations make this collection a very good-read for anyone who appreciates the beauty of simple yet profound storytelling. His stories from the small towns reminisce childhood memories and dwell into the happiness without the phones or any electronic devices.
