Potpourri: Short Stories about a Motley Bunch of Characters
About this ebook
You will find everyday characters like the man who does the laundry and develops attachment to the household, an auto rickshaw driver who wants to give his best to his son, a sports teacher who is happy being in the background and a professor trying to instill interest in his class.
A small town detective, a junior artist from films and a gossiping cook add spice to this collection. The story of a gymnast and the long life tale of a monk in the Himalayas add inspiration to the mix.
Whoever the character, these are stories about them as individuals with hopes, emotions, and conflicts in their life.
Ranging from hidden sensitive stories set in the everyday happenings in the life of everyday people to the emotions of the heart and expressions of love, Potpourri is a motley bunch of short and long stories written in simple language about simple people that will stay with you long after you have finished reading it.
