Two Short stories (fiction) about young Indians living abroad:

Adrian and Shashi: Lives of two youngsters living in New Zealand - one Indian and the other, Kiwi, revealed through their conversations.

Indu's Trip To New Zealand: Indu comes to NZ for a course as well as to gain her OE (overseas experience). Does reality match up to her expectations?

Two Lesbian Women and I : A True Story. (No Sexual Content). I knew two women, both young, and in their early twenties. This story is a recount of what happened between us.
