The Grudges of Gajanan Godbole

Salil Desai

After years of being married to an overbearing wife and wading through life pretending to be half-dead, Gajanan Godbole has finally found himself alone and, most importantly, free. Courtesy COVID.

Lucky to have survived the pandemic by the skin of his teeth, Gajanan now discovers a side of his personality he never knew existed. Like a snake shedding its skin, Gajanan casts aside his meek old self and embraces his new homicidal avatar.

To satiate his grudgeful urges, he compiles a list ‐ of people he feels deserve to be punished for having wronged him.

Apologize or die is his simple motto! For murder, he believes, is the perfect cure for nastiness...
