Blurb- It is a collection of short stories which indicate different layers of human nature. Many a times a normal looking situation becomes an unusual experience for us which is the result of our own actions. We reap the yield of our own deeds. We the humans, are neither completely inclined toward positive nor negative and we cannot be described as completely black or completely white. Being a human is about being grey.......

There are many grammatical mistakes in the book. Often words are misplaced and simple writing mistakes like "Your Welcome" instead of "You're* Welcome" (page no. 75)

There are punctuation errors which makes it difficult to read.
