Just then a strong breeze blew in and the moon disappeared behind the clouds. Everything was enveloped in a darkness permeated with sadness. Startled, they both looked at each other. The cruel hands of age had withered once blossom-like faces and strong sculpted bodies. With a desperate sigh, their eyes misted but this was momentary. The next moment, clouds parted and moonlight flooded all around them. Both looked up, their eyes shining like stars. With a smile, they said, “So what if life is like autumn now? There once was spring...when masses of flowers bloomed...whose fragrance still perfumes the air. We have lived a full life. We have drunk its cup to our heart’s fill.” And holding hands, they walked inside the house with steady steps.—from this bookCollection of short stories which are historical, regional, social and romantic. In a nutshell, these are from the varied pattern of life which is woven with bright as well as grey threads. Reader will find the characters as if they are known to him and will feel a bond with them in their smiles or tears; happiness or sorrow. These will not only entertain the readers but also infuse a sense of self-pride and social awareness in them.
