Every single line of news, left unattended becomes a part of dry statistics. Inside all those innocent and passive sentences are hidden stories of human values and emotions. The hymns of religious books contain a world of stories of immense values, if only one was sincere enough to look at them and tells us the struggles of those time. Centuries pass, the world changes but the questions confronting the mankind remain unchanged. Those questions about love, war, faith, humanity and parenthood do not change with changing times. These stories are written on varied subjects, each represents a single statistical data, one single truth, echoing through a thousand emotions. These are not journalistic pieces and do not vouch for the authenticity of stories behind a single verse in religious texts, a single headline in the newspaper. These stories use author's sensitivity and force of imagination to understand the hidden text behind headlines and verses which we come across every day.




There are stories on Wars, on Love, on Human relationships, on Honor killing, Child Exploitation, Religion and Faith. They have stayed with me for years, almost hounding me to write them. Hope they will stay with the reader as long as they have stayed with me and will liberate their emotions as they have liberated mine.
