Open Book of Happy Memories (And Other Stories) as the title suggests is
a compilation of random essays on a variety of subjects. Recent pandemic,
impact of which lasted for more than three years unsettled our life. Most of
the lifelines breaking, many of us, especially elders, found our life approaching a grinding halt, not only for health or economic reasons. Communication links got reduced to television and internet, as doors closed and even newspapers and magazines, bookstores and libraries were out of reach. To help those friends and relatives who were not tech-savvy or were not comfortable with routine social media interaction, I tried a shortcut through a consolidated daily personal message. The modern social media routes came in handy.
Short essays which covered nostalgic memories and brief pieces on current
issues became part of my daily messages. This book is a compilation of select pieces from those stories and select essays written by me during recent years. As these were written in different contexts and at different points in time, there are bound to be some repetitions.
