What is time, if not the silent companion to every story we live, tell, and remember? In this anthology, writers connect to share and weave tales that flow like tides - sometimes gentle, sometimes turbulent, yet always profound. Within these pages, time becomes a character: it heals, it haunts, it teaches, and it transforms. The stories offer a glimpse into moments that linger long after they have passed - a childhood remembered, a future imagined, a turning point savoured or regretted. TIME AND TIDE - Stories shaped by the passage of time captures the essence of storytelling itself: timeless, evocative, and deeply human.Step into worlds that are both familiar and fantastical, ordinary yet extraordinary. Let these stories pull you in like waves to a shore you may have never seen before, or perhaps have been too familiar with. Between these covers, time seems to have stopped to meet the tides. Would you want to listen to their whispers?---AuthorsAmi Dedhia, Amit Suri, Anannya Sane, Anjana Chabria, Arati Raval, Archana Maru Nanda, Avani Shah, Bhavini Furia, Bijal Pratik Shah, Bijal Shah-Chokshi, Chandni Bhatnagar, Dr. Ekta Bhatia, Gayatri Hingorani, Jay Solanki, Kajal Mehra, Kaushal Patel, Kinjal Mehta, Krina Gala, Kruti Sharma, Madhuja Banerjee, Mamta Agarwal, Manasvi Mehta, Manika Tibriwal, Manisha Divan, Meghana Chandrachud, Monaaz Bamji, Nidhi Shah, Nily Mehta, Nirali Hathi, Parizad Srivastava, Payal Shah, Rita Choudhari, Saloni Chheda, Shreya Khosla, Dr. Usha Jayachandran, Vandana Narang Lund, Dr. Vani Parekh, Vijay Lalla, Yūgen, Zeyd Ladha
