Human life is precious. But our everyday experience often tends to make us drift from this universal truth. Likewise, the treasure that lies in the human hearts often gets enshrouded by outwardly expositions. Events in lives that entwine these facts find dramatic presentations in the stories which the author has put in this collection for the reader to relish. The love for nature, which is not always kind, often peeps in the depictions even as the reader wonders what next. Why a victimized poor man feels compassionate towards a rich lady of high social status, or how a man confronts a completely exotic world in a place where he is not a newcomer, or what comes unexpectedly as a true gift, awaits fascinating revelation. Why Nitish speaks of terra incognita, or Lumla sheds tears for rich city dwellers, or Sarita hesitates to aim her revolver at the attacker, opens up as the reader goes on savouring the gradual unfurling of the stories.
