The 17 stories enlisted in this book in English version have been originally written in Odia by Manindra Sir. All these short stories are enriched with their own colour, beauty, splendor and charm. One thing that is common about most of his stories is that they are not imaginary; rather, they have been born out of his personal experiences, day-to-day happenings and deep attachment and insight towards the people living in and around his real life. His characters are also not fictional but the living images of actual life. May it be the ghost of Vijaya who had interacted with him after committing suicide in the hostel room of Sambalpur University, may it be the old lady who was driven out of the bus for her inability to pay the bus fare of one rupee and fifty paisa or may it be Jayanta who was more than a son for the author and his wife or may it be Mani Maa or sister Manaswini who had influenced, shaped and enriched the author's life with their magnanimity and love--every character has been portrayed by him with subtle details, deep attachment and transparency. Most of his stories are packed with the delicacy of selfless and unconditional relationships, the value of powerful feelings and overflowing emotions in one's life to build a lovely and sweet bond with others - may it be human beings, birds, animals or natural objects.
