What happens when two people determined not to fall in love keep finding reasons to stay? The phenomenal Hindi bestseller now in English.

MUSAFIR CAFÉ
by Divya Prakash Dubey
HarperCollins India, 2016/September 2026

In the bustling heart of Mumbai, Chandar and Sudha meet across a coffee-house table—two strangers bound by parental pressure, mutual reluctance and an unexpected honesty that cuts through every social pretense.

She’s a divorce lawyer who knows exactly how love ends. He’s a software engineer who doesn’t know what he wants from life. Neither wants marriage. Neither expects this.

From staged matrimonial disasters to tearfilled evenings at Prithvi Theatre, from seaside confessions to late-night messages left unsent, their story unfolds in stolen conversations and eloquent silences—the kind that change everything.

Now a major Netflix series, Musafir Café is a tender, witty and deeply human exploration of modern relationships, self-discovery and the terrifying beauty of connection.

Divya Prakash Dubey is known for his contemporary Hindi writing and has authored other books like October Junction and Masala Chai. His works are appreciated for their simplicity and emotional depth.
