Collected With Love is yet another book of eight short stories by Rahul Bhandari that makes me wish I had the printed version so it could live by my bedside, so I could easily revisit a story or two whenever I wanted to experience exceptional writing.
Most celebrate the bigness of love. It is often said, mostly by elders, that the strength of love is in the simple moments and acts of life. We are a society of constant movement and instant gratification, yet we are still searching. Maybe it is because we aren’t really looking. Rahul Bhandari knows how to look, and what he captures in words is very unique.
Sometimes vivid writing feels forced. But here the words approach me as if they have flowed from a deep well, rarely seen. The chapters are the length of short stories, but the substance feels like poetry.
Opening each story, I would think how unique it began. Then, in the last sentences as each closed, I marveled at how it was one more example of a love story that didn’t resemble anything I had ever read. The telling of the stories is layered in such beautiful, rare descriptions, even when the themes have been approached thousands of times, like divorce, love in war, time traveling, and even a “meet cute”.
Collected With Love is an indescribable book of eight short stories which will haunt you with an intensity not generally found in love stories. 
With over 15 years of experience in television direction, programming, and production, Rahul Bhandari has worked extensively with a leading Indian multinational tv network, shaping programmes for the screen across formats. After years behind the camera, Rahul discovered a quiet but compelling passion for fiction writing.
