The book “Mixed Lives” has six short stories. Most of the stories are based on true incidents. All the names and characters are created for better smoothness and steady reading.
The first and last story are the true success stories where we can see, after a prolonged struggle and conflict, success comes in life slowly, not at once. Never run for a mirage of chances. When you climb on a ladder, you touch the side of the ladder and put one foot forward, same for success.
The second story based on success where you can predict by looking at the talent of a child or teen minutely.
Two stories are partially true stories where I met the person in Andaman. Those who became slaves of alcohol can be free from it and can lead a life of success.
Other two stories are based on belief. We must believe in miracles and life cannot be predicted.
