Each story reflects the magic of simpler times, when radio tunes were symphonies, chai-time was sacred, and conversations over chai were therapy. Thoughtfully inspired, gently humorous, and emotionally resonant; blending relationships, spirituality, nature, and the warmth of Himachali cuisine, this debut is a celebration of resilience, rootedness, and real-life beauty.
Whether you grew up in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, or simply carry an old soul or simply someone with a heart that remembers, these pages will feel like coming home. More than paper and ink, this is the author’s life, love, gratitude, and spirit, bottled into words.
Tarun Sharma, a bonafide Himachali and debut author of “Tapri to Tranquility”, is a storyteller at heart, shaped by simplicity, soaked in nostalgia, and driven by soulful reflection. Raised in a humble, god-fearing family amid radio tunes, wet earth, and the warmth of Himachali Tapriyan, he believes every cup of chai tells a story.
An alumnus of Kendriya Vidyalaya, JNU, New Delhi, and a seasoned professional in international logistics for over 30 years, Tarun Sharma is known for his deep human connections, heartfelt humour, and quiet wisdom. Writing, for him, wasn’t a profession, it was a calling. Encouraged by friends, clients, and loved ones, he wrote not to impress, but to express.
This book is a tribute to memories, relationships, nature, and mountains. It’s his heart in print, brought to life by childhood friend Amit Kasaria, a Bollywood filmmaker. These aren’t just his stories, they might be yours too.
