'Let your imagination fly' and 'An idle brain is devil's workshop.'
These two proverbs are the ones that motivated a retired man to convert his imagination in words. I had always had deep love for literature which I have succesfully handed over to my daughters as well. And it was one of my dreams to see my writings get published. I have waited for this whole life long and once I took voluntary retirement, I started spending my leisure time with my book and pen and my ideas. I looked around myself to get inspiration from the characters I have known throughout my life or the incidents I have crossed path with. Mixing my own imagination with that inspiration, I developed some recipes and I present these stories and poems of different moods and emotions to you, my readers; and I hope you will enjoy reading these and will find this effor of mine worthwhile.
This edition consists of 24 pieces including short stories and poems . The stories give us a glimpse of relationships of yester years they have been portrayed using a poetic flow of the language.
