A collection of short stories

By Gopal Patra

About the book:
" A collection of short stories " In the last few years, four short stories based on true events have found a place in this collection ...

Here are some social stories that have received reviews from various online magazines and groups in my own timeline.

Those stories, respectively

1) Great empathy 2) Prostitute 3) Witch 4) Heredity

From these stories you will get a glimpse of the present life… just as the socio-economic aspects are highlighted in it, so the neglect and hatred towards people is equally evident!

Now if my readers like it, I will consider my work successful…
