Life isn’t flawless—it’s a patchwork of glittering highs, messy lows and the mundane in between, where even the best-laid plans can veer off course.

Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not is a collection of poignant and witty short stories that uncover the cracks beneath seemingly perfect lives—and the truths that emerge from them.

A man on the brink of marriage spots the love of his life on the streets of London. A successful man contemplates his date with death. A struggling artist does not want to part with the only painting that could transform his fortunes. A young woman, who has it all, finds her world crumbling. A gay man finds that his love is forbidden. A former banker, once uber-wealthy, is now a driver and has a life-changing encounter during his first week on the job.

From picture-perfect relationships gone wrong to careers derailed by a misstep, these stories delve into the universal struggles with identity, love, fear and belonging. With heart and a touch of irony, Vasudha Sahgal celebrates life’s imperfections in their chaotic, bittersweet charm. If you’ve ever laughed at your own mistakes or found joy in life’s curveballs, this book is for you. After all, who needs perfect when you can have perfectly imperfect!

Vasudha Sahgal is an author, freelance journalist and screenwriter. Her storytelling journey began early—at the age of eight, she wrote her first story about a bunch of friendly witches.

She started her career as a trainee copywriter at Ogilvy & Mather, New Delhi—an experience she likens to being Charlie in Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: utterly fascinating.

Over the years, Vasudha has contributed to publications such as The Tribune, Daily Post, The Times of India, HuffPost and The Quint. Her short story was included in the anthology Love in the Times of WhatsApp and Other Stories. She has also authored two illustrated children’s books. Additionally, she has sold the intellectual property rights to her first feature screenplay to a production house.

Beyond writing, Vasudha manages operations at her family’s precision engineering company, Micron Instruments Pvt. Ltd. She is passionate about travel, food, words and our existence in the world. Almost Perfect, but Mostly Not marks her debut solo venture into short fiction.
