"He will forget Prateek and Divya the same way he forgot his own family and so many others, but he will always carry how they made him feel. The feeling of love, the feeling of care, the feeling of regret, the feeling of loneliness. He will forget what it was, but he will never forget how it felt. He will forget everything, but the people living in the neighbourhood will never forget. They will keep calling him the ghost who drives people away from the house, and although it will never be his intention, he will always drive people away." - Sankalp Srivastav Smiles That Fade by @sankalpdoeswhat is an immersive anthology that compels you to reflect on your own life experiences.Readers witness the warmth of friendship, the little joys of companionship, the weight of life choices and the strength of familial bonds in the stories.
