Temporary Important is a raw coming-of-age story about ambition, power, betrayal, and the quiet cost of shortcuts.
Set against the backdrop of local politics and everyday Mumbai life, the novel follows Aditya, a directionless eighteen-year-old searching for control inside a home already falling apart. What begins as harmless political volunteering slowly turns into influence, intimidation, money, and borrowed authority. As his world expands, so do the compromises, until friendship gives way to survival and loyalty becomes transactional.
Through street fights, election chaos, silent betrayals, and crushing debt, Aditya learns a truth most people realise too late: proximity to power is not power, and visibility is not security.
This is not a story about heroes or villains.
It is a story about how easy it is to feel important, and how hard it is to rebuild once that importance disappears.
Temporary Importance explores how young ambition can be exploited, how systems protect themselves first, and how families carry the weight of decisions made in moments of desperation. It is a cautionary tale for anyone tempted by shortcuts, quick influence, or borrowed authority.
At its core, this book asks one simple question:
What happens when temporary importance costs you permanent peace?
