About The Book:

This collection features stories written by the author 15 to 20 years before their publication. Upon revisiting these works, the author was struck by how different his mindset was at the time of writing them. Though tempted to revise the stories, he refrained, feeling a unique mixture of emotions. These were his stories, yet they seemed unfamiliar, as if written by a different person. He realized that time changes a person both inside and out, and that his perspective had evolved significantly since those early days.

The author’s early style, which bore resemblance to that of Ram Ganesh Gadkari, was marked by exaggerations in certain places. However, despite his changed views, the author chose not to alter the stories. He believed that time’s changes would affect the core of the stories, and that revisiting the emotions from when they were originally written would be impossible. The illusion that inspires a story cannot be controlled or recreated at will, and attempting to correct or perfect these stories might damage their essence.

Thus, this collection remains unchanged, reflecting the author’s decision to preserve the integrity of his past work, allowing readers to experience the stories as they were first imagined, without the influence of time or revision.
