About the Book: A collection of stories and poems with the scent and feel of everyday life...situations that you all have gone through...something everyone can relate to...sometimes humorous sometimes serious....but at all times with the feet firmly on terra firma..hope you enjoy it. About the Author: Hi Readers...I am a retired college Professor and I have M Sc M Phil in Chemistry. I am married and I have two children who have Ph D in English and Chemistry respectively. My interests include reading and occasionally jotting down a short piece related to my current circumstances. I have published only in our college magazine....five or six short stories, which I thought I will reproduce here in book form. Hoping they give you a few minutes of enjoyment.
