Most of the short stories in this book such as The Secret, Genie in the Lamp, Rising from the Ashes and Danger are what I had written during this time period and I had also rewritten and fine-tuned them in order to make them better during the process of editing this book. While some of the other stories such as the White-Bearded Man, Alternative and Connections are interesting short stories which I have written and posted it in my blog and thus I have decided to include them in this book also. While another short story, A strange and interesting journey was a short story which I had written and submitted for a creative writing competition organized by an association in my university while I was pursuing my postgraduate degree. Interestingly, I had not planned to publish these short stories which I had written down two years ago as a book, but when I received an opportunity to write and publish a book, I eventually decided to write and publish a collection of short stories including those which I have written earlier after much thought and deliberation, as writing short stories was what I was very comfortable with.
The sources of inspiration for my short stories are the twists and turns that we experience in our daily lives and some interesting and peculiar incidents and events which I have seen and heard. The basic premise of the story The White Bearded Man was inspired from the classic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner which was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge while the short story Alternative was inspired from the novel The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles and its film adaptation.
The Book is available in digital as well as printed version.
