all that is is a personal memoir, told in the third person, that captures the essence of life through fragmented memories. it follows the experiences of a boy growing up in ‘80s and ‘90s madras (chennai) and later in seattle during the 2000s. these memories, though deeply personal, blur the line between reality and fiction, as memory often does.
presented in no specific chronological order, each chapter or memory can be read as a standalone piece, offering glimpses of joy, conflict, and introspection.
the title, all that is, reflects the collection of moments that together define a life—each fragment a part of a greater whole, yet meaningful on its own.
welcome to all that is.
