THIS COLLECTION INCLUDES THE SHORT STORIES BY RANJIT DESAI WHICH HE PENNED DOWN DURING HIS EARLY YEARS AS A WRITER. THESE STORIES WERE PUBLISHED IN STANDARD MAGAZINES LIKE MAUJ, SATYAKATHA, KIRLOSKAR, ABHIRUCHI, JANWANI ETC. RANJIT DESAI REVEALS HIS SECRET ABOUT THESE SHORT STORIES, WHATEVER COMES TO MY MIND TAKES FROM OF STORY. WHATEVER I WRITE IS WRITTEN WITH ALMOST HONESTY. THERE MIGHT BE MANY DRAWBACKS, MANY FAULTS, MANY A TIMES I MIGHT HAVE GIVEN MORE WEIGHTAGE TO RURAL LIFE THAN THAT COMPARED TO URBAN LIFE, BUT NO WHERE I HAVE BEEN DECEITFUL. I HAVE ONLY ONE REQUEST TO THE READERS, IF EVER YOU DECIDE TO CHECK THE TRUENESS OF MY STORIES, REMEMBER MY HONEST AND FRANKNESS.
