MUKHAGNI. शाश्वत सत्य का स्टार्टअप, (en Hindi) - Santosh Kumar

Mukhaagni is the story of a generation born in the sacred lanes of Varanasi, a generation that dreams big but gets entangled in the complexities of the system. Ratnakar is an ordinary young man who struggles to protect his self-respect, family, and love while juggling between a job and a business. Trucks, builders, debt, and power-these are not just obstacles in his life, but a true reflection of society.

This novel sensitively portrays unemployment, middle-class anxieties, generational conflict, and human values. Simple language, vivid dialogues, and powerful imagery make it highly readable. Mukhagni is not an end, but the beginning of a self-realisation where one has to set fire to one's own illusions.
