Moving on with the review. This book is a collection of multiple short stories, eleven to be precise. As a avid book lover and a regular blogger i found the stories to be interesting and crisp. The underlying theme that i could gather from all the  stories was the struggle that people go through in their daily life. It also leads to a feeling of resilience of the characters. My favourite stories are Parikrama and Daddy Cool. 

I would certainly encourage people to go and read this book and explored the genre of short stories that is yet to find a lot of readers in India. As always, you read, you decide. My final verdict: 4 on 5
