This book of short stories by Col Bhaskar Sarkar is a kaleidoscope of captivating stories in three entirely different sections - Romance, History and War!

Many stories revolve around a soldier’s mind while placed in life and death situations. Some of the stories, like ‘Revenge, ’ set in the backdrop of the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war, will transform you into the scary realities of war. Some of the stories deal with the eternal fight between those we call terrorists and security forces. These stories also show that all those who are engaged in this unfortunate battle are human beings with same hopes, ambitions, families and loved ones and when they fall, only their grieving families suffer.

Beyond the grimy narratives of war, the book also covers incidences from our day-to-day life and fits into a variety of genres like horror, fantasy, seduction, magical realism and the like. These intriguing tales cover what lurks in the human mind beneath the deceptive beauty of outer appearances.

As a connoisseur of short stories, you will love how the description weaves through the narratives, kindling the fertility of imagination. Filtered through the lens of personal observation, these tales will compel you to read to the very end.
