⛔⛔❓❔ Rohan walked into the room full of people, and paused. He was suddenly blank - what had he come here for? Meenu couldn't recall the name of the shopping mall they used to visit a year back. She thought and thought, but the name wouldn't come to her. The boss was shouting at poor Jatin again.

Who wants to give everything up and just run away? Did she ask for the glory of motherhood?` What about a mother struggling with indiscipline, rude...

My first book of fiction 👆 Here is the latest glowing review from book reviewer Diti Shah: The book was like a breeze of fresh air. I could, personally, relate to so many stories and the ease of reading was the major plus. This means, I would be recommending the book to many beginners & those struggling with ‘what to read’. This book would definitely get you back on track. The first story about Amina was captivating & gives a great social message. Although I've never been to Kolkata, I really enjoyed reading about the Pandal hopping. Making a mental note to visit Kolkata especially to tick off Pandal-hopping from my bucket list. The emotions we all experienced during the pandemic and accompanying shutdown were accurately described in some accounts. The situations in the stories are certain to strike a chord with the majority of readers of all ages. The author's skillful pen has woven fragments of ordinary everyday life into the remarkable story in clear and understanda...
