Blue is like blue is a short story collection by Vinod Kumar Shukla. Renowned for bringing the marvellous to the ordinary, Vinod Kumar Shukla has long been recognized as one of India's foremost writers, with a voice uniquely his own. The stories in Blue Is Like Blue deal with 'smaller-than-life people' set in very small towns where things most often revolve around the basic necessities of life. These stories are a mix of mature melancholy and a sense of comical play."Let's go home,' I said. 'Whose home?' "You go to yours and I'll go to mine,' I said."
