    About this ebook

    These stories explore the various relationships of human bonds in one way or other. They are stories of respect, love, hatred, anguish, affection, loneliness, revenge and tolerance. This book contains 10 short stories. Some of them may make you laugh and some of them may make you cry, or at least make you think.

    This is the 1st collection of ten of my short stories. Subsequently I will be publishing more such collections.
