In this compelling collection of short stories, the author delves deep into the complexities of human nature, presenting characters who are as multifaceted as the world they live in. From selfishness and greed to love and empathy, the stories reveal the full spectrum of human emotion and action.

One such tale is that of Nishikant, a millionaire with Turner Syndrome, who struggles to balance his immense wealth with the crushing weight of humanity. His marriage to Amruta brings forth the paradox of wealth and virtue in a world where greed often clouds the essence of life.

Anamika, another central figure, is a woman sold into the horrors of sex work by her own husband, highlighting the brutal realities many women face. Meanwhile, an older man continues to live in the memories of his college friend Kumud, revealing the lasting impact of love and loss.

The collection also introduces Urmila, who is haunted by the mysterious woman present during her husband’s death. Manohar and Madira, two fearless individuals, confront dangerous criminals, while Savita, a divorcee, grapples with her emotions.

Through these poignant and thought-provoking stories, the author highlights how people are multi-colored, with multi-faceted lives, struggles, and victories, making this collection a must-read for those interested in the depths of human emotion and experience.
