preface These short stories are not only written they are actually lived. They have not only slipped out of the pen, bur from the burning experiences of life. No one is unaware of the paradoxes of present day world existing all around us. Obviously, as a nature of literature they are reflected here through the bitter expressions of above experiences. Now it is left to the readers to have their reflections. If a single heart is moved through these stories, this humble self will find himself fortunate.
