His stories and poems use these experiences as a foundation for exploring larger questions surrounding love, identity, responsibility and human connection.
Storytelling forms an important part of Prateek's creative approach. His works move between intimate personal experiences and broader philosophical or social questions, allowing different genres to explore different dimensions of human life.

Published Works
Sukoon (सुकून)
Sukoon (सुकून) is a collection of Nazm centred on emotional reflection and the journey of a traveller through different stages of life.
The work incorporates imagery and experiences associated with the ghats of Banaras, memories of Indore, distance, spirituality, longing and the passage of time. The collection explores the search for emotional and spiritual solace while reflecting on memories and experiences accumulated throughout life's journey.
The work is presented as a tribute to Gulzar Sahab and reflects Prateek's interest in poetic expression, introspection and emotional storytelling.
Red Dice Blue Heart
Red Dice Blue Heart is a contemporary romantic novel centred on two individuals whose personal, ideological and intellectual perspectives differ.
The story follows Arjun Malhotra, a 21-year-old who boards a train for a summer internship, and Meera Shastri, a politically and intellectually driven young woman. Their meeting develops into a relationship shaped by conversations, ambitions, contrasting viewpoints and personal choices.
The narrative extends across a decade and examines how decisions, circumstances and changing perspectives can influence relationships and individual lives.
The novel combines romance with reflections on ideology, ambition, personal growth and the changing nature of human relationships.
Ayan (अयन)
Ayan (अयन) is a fast-paced fictional narrative exploring love, attachment, loss, ego, renunciation and self-transformation.
The story examines the contrast between the transcendental understanding associated with Radha and Krishna's love and the earthly nature of Ayan's relationship. The protagonist's emotional journey develops from possessive love and attachment toward renunciation and an eventual dissolution of his sense of self.
The work explores the consequences of attachment and the possibility of transformation through loss, reflection and detachment.
Ankahi (अनकही)
Ankahi (अनकही) is an upcoming collection of nine stories centred on relationships and emotions that remain unspoken. The stories explore relationships between husbands and wives, siblings, parents and children, lovers, and friends. Everyday objects and gestures—including tea, an old pair of glasses, a ledger, and a shared plate of poha—are used as representations of emotions that characters may be unable or unwilling to express directly. The collection is planned in both Hindi and English.
The Bone Dice: A Curse of Dark Shadows
The Bone Dice: A Curse of Dark Shadows is an upcoming mythology-inspired historical narrative centred on Shakuni from the Mahabharata. The story presents an imagined background to Shakuni's transformation into the strategist associated with the great war. It begins with his relationship with his sister and the traumatic circumstances experienced by his family before the events of the Mahabharata's great war. A central narrative motif is the use of dice carved from his father's bones, with the story examining the experiences and transformation that precede Shakuni's later role in the epic.
Forthcoming Works
Prateek's forthcoming literary projects span relationships, mythology, morality, philosophy and contemporary fiction.
The Virtue Trap: A Tale of Morality and Dilemma
The Virtue Trap: A Tale of Morality and Dilemma is an upcoming fictional narrative exploring morality, political conscience, personal responsibility and betrayal.
The story follows two graduate students who investigate the actions of two politically connected individuals. One is associated with a ruthless political deal, while the other is portrayed as an honest elected representative whose constituents nevertheless experience suffering.
Through their investigation, the narrative examines the difficulty of defining moral responsibility when personal virtue and public consequences appear to conflict.
The work explores the tension between individual morality and collective consequences, questioning whether good intentions or personal integrity alone are sufficient to determine ethical responsibility.
The Last Episode
The Last Episode is an upcoming contemporary literary narrative following Amit Ray, a writer who has achieved recognition for his polished prose but begins questioning the authenticity of his own writing.
After travelling to Goa, Amit meets Lavanya Sen, a mathematician who admires his work while questioning its truthfulness. The two agree to spend thirty days together and record eleven conversations.
Their private relationship later becomes the subject of widespread public attention when the recordings reach a large audience. The narrative explores authorship, authenticity, relationships, public perception and the boundary between private experience and public storytelling.

Vision and Literary Philosophy
Prateek's literary approach is centred on the idea that human experiences often contain emotional complexities that cannot be reduced to logic or straightforward explanations.
His work explores the choices people make, the relationships they form, the emotions they leave unspoken and the consequences that develop over time.
His professional experience in information technology provides a contrasting perspective to his creative writing. While technology is associated with structured systems and logical processes, his literary work focuses on the unpredictable and emotionally complex dimensions of human life.
Through storytelling, Prateek seeks to examine questions surrounding love, responsibility, identity, memory, morality and human connection.
Personal and Professional Outlook
Prateek continues to work across information technology and literature, developing stories and poems that explore relationships, emotions, morality, mythology and personal transformation.
His body of work reflects an interest in connecting everyday human experiences with broader questions about identity, responsibility, memory and interpersonal relationships.
His literary projects demonstrate an interest in combining accessible storytelling with philosophical and emotional themes, allowing contemporary experiences to intersect with mythology, morality and questions of personal choice.
