    R S Ramanujam

    Hello! I am Ramanujam (Ram), An agile coach by day and a writer by night, I write in the realistic and contemporary fiction genres. I sometimes tend to drift into believing that I am a good satirist only to quickly dismiss such delusions with a contemptuous laugh and get back to reality.

      The Man Shunned - R S Ramanujam

      Preface

      If you manage to finish reading the story and get out unscathed, I love you.

      1. Grade-A slapstick drivel that can either have you in splits or make you split your hair. 

      2. Grade-A slapstick drivel that can either have you in splits or make you split your hair. 

      3. Grade-A slapstick drivel that can either have you in splits or make you split your hair.

      You've been four-warned.

      LOG ENTRY: SOLO MOMENT 1

      LOG ENTRY: SOLO MOMENT 2

      Stock taking time. I need to see how to survive till wifus and kidsus get back. Thankfully the area I need to sweep is limited. And I am not stranded on some lonely planet with help a gazillion miles away. But what's a man without food, just a mile or gazillion miles away from home? Well. No time to rue. I need to act quickly if I have to survive.

      The world has trained us to be many in one. I am devout, freak. No, not a devout freak. A devout, a
