‘The Secret of the Burka?’ depicts the search for a woman's identity, ‘The Song never played’ is the tale of a man’s crushed dreams; ‘Rabi Chai’ brings out the flavor of urban India in the backdrop of a tea stall and ‘Hickeys and Hiccups!’ is about the trials and tribulations of a love marriage. All these stories have elements of suspense and hope
The stories feature evergreen themes of friendship, love, hate, passion, adventure, justice, humanity, parent’s ultimate efforts, a zoophilist’s anguish over the environment and tragedies as well as the struggle of youngsters and so much more.
The future is like a tunnel where one is ignorant of what lies on the other side.
