📝 About The Book

In this captivating collection of short stories, Nana Ghodke masterfully delves into the emotional and psychological tensions that define human relationships. One of the most striking stories, "Peanut Meal," portrays the confusion and emotional turmoil caused by the notion of becoming "my father's meal", which adds layers of complexity to the lives of its characters.

"Safar" explores the degradation of a character named Sonya Bamana, who grows up without the nurturing of parents. This poignant tale delves deep into the soul's struggle for survival and dignity in a world filled with emotional scars.

In "Wild Man", Ghodke beautifully depicts the numbing effect of grief through a father who remains emotionally dry, even after the tragic death of his son. The story speaks volumes about the human capacity to remain resilient despite the harshest blows life can deliver.

Another standout is "Venku's Teaching," where a disciple imparts practical lessons to his guru, challenging the conventional teacher-student dynamics. The story provides a unique perspective on learning and wisdom, breaking the traditional mold and offering profound insights into life’s true teachings.

This collection is a blend of humor, tragedy, and wisdom, providing deep reflections on the human condition and the relationships that shape our lives.
