DESTINY OF THE WORLD AND OTHER STORIES traverse distances around the world—from the United States to India—from Baghdad to China. These stories are about human nature—universal nature playing out in local contexts. Some stories are quirky, some will make you smile, some will make you cry, but all will engage you with a thread of recognition.

Nandinee Kutty is a writer and award-winning poet. She lives in the Washington, D.C. area. Her chapbook of poems, Kavitānjali—offering with both hands, was published in 2006.
