About the Book

"Chaos Theory" is set against the backdrop of prestigious academic institutions like St. Stephen's College in New Delhi, Cambridge, and Harvard. The story follows Sunita and Mukesh from their first encounters in the classrooms and lawns of St. Stephen's to their eventual tenures as professors at Columbia University.

At its core, this novel is a love story unlike any other. Love and sex are replaced by conversation and verbal duels, with Sunita and Mukesh playing a Shakespeare quotation game every Thursday for thirty years. Their connection is profound yet fragile, much like the chaotic particles in particle physics that circle around each other but never connect.

The narrative captures their daily lives, careers, relationships, marriage, and children, all while they grapple with their feelings for each other. The story is a beautiful blend of comedy and tragedy, exploring comfort in its ephemeral and fragile forms.
