This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content.

In his second collection, the author presents an eclectic range of genres: from memoirs, travelogue, anecdotes, fantasy, young adult, melodrama, and comedy to satire, and more.
In these stories, you'd meet many interesting characters: Ram, Lakshman, Sita, Chanakya, Jayadev and Padmavati, Mona Lisa, Vladimir Putin, Kissinger, Ms. Smith, Laxmi, the nameless flutist, the paan-seller, the girl with the shawl, and others. Each of them has an interesting tale to tell.
The author looks at mundane, everyday happenings; and is fascinated by the many stories therein which bloom naturally from bud to flower, spread a little fragrance and joy, and exit gracefully with a bow to make space for other stories to appear and play. Each story is almost a teaser. Why didn't the author take the story forward? What happened to the characters thereafter? Why didn't the author develop the characters further? Well, the author wrote short-stories. That's why. He was not writing a novel.
The author tells each story in his signature style of wry wit and sardonic humour. He effortlessly draws the readers into the stories, engages them by briskly pacing his stories, and often surprises them by finishing it with deft, masterly twists.
