Enjoying a Three Plate Dinner with Vipul Maurya and his Crabby Crab

We are all deluded and custodians of the truth

A Friendly Free Linky

The quirky Vipul Maurya is a waiter who fantasises about 1950s vegetables such as potatoes that are explosive and culturally desired. He’s studying horticulture in the greenhouse. As well as his Anthurium, he nurtures a cute blind crab who helps him look a little closer at the ocean in his garden.

Alongside these academic adventures, Vipul observes the world all around, documenting mysterious phenomena such as suspiciously confident pigeons at sunrise and the secret meaning shared by clouds at dusk. He often finds himself arguing with shadow people in the dead of night.

Vipul’s creature comforts include furry furniture in his living room that can fit in his pocket, and strange snakeskin corridors where stories go to rearrange their characters. His goal in life is to find his other toothbrush, but until then he’s content with watching busy bees hovering over blossom.

Why not join him?

June’s DC challenge was a good one — write something about a fellow medium writer that very few readers know about. And the winner chosen by H. Mikel Feilen was the prolific Vipul Maurya. Congrats again VM!

His story focuses on Do Capozucca — and you will be charmed by it for sure.

For my promotional teaser above I played with some of the information on Vipul’s about page and the titles of his posts. The narrative is heavily infused with links to his stories. I enjoyed putting it together.

Still time to join in with July’s DC challenge. The only one worth doing on Medium (except the Cocktail Club Publications’ monthly prompts), as Deluded Custodians rock the socks off other communities on this platform. The winner gets $10 from the maid-of-money Ann James and a promotional teaser from the tardy me. Plus automatic membership to the extremely sought after DC Pub Club. It means you can include DC boasts in your little bio bit on Medium like I have:

I can hear you asking for the links to all my other DC teasers. You twisted my arm. Ouch!
