Preface

When my college friends started a Whatsapp group, I wrote a few riddles and shared them. I was fascinated to see the way adults transformed into little children just to be the first to find out the correct answer. Just then, my loving wife, Nithya, and a warm friend of mine, Ramji, advised me to publish the riddles as a book. I had made twenty riddles by then. The solutions were a few pleasant words. I needed eighty more. After deciding to publish, I began collecting words. Words which when imbibed in our hearts, I believe, we will transform this world into a beautiful place. I also ensured that you get lots of fun from solving the riddles. I assure this would be a much better recreation than aimless browsing, electronic gaming or any other addiction that has enslaved us. We are beautiful butterflies born to fly. I hope this book helps you to rediscover your wings along with loads of fun.
