Between You & Me

About the Book

Everyday so many people come our way. During work, while shopping, buying vegetables, at the bus stop or taking a walk. We don’t talk to them, but somewhere something strikes a chord. You notice their dress or the way they walk or the Mp3 chord stuck to their ears, that lovely complexion or bald head. It can be anything. You remember people, characters, their characteristics from the village you belong, the school you studied, the college you graduated, from among your friends, place of work...from your neighbourhood. Some keep frequenting your memories and thoughts. That is when you want to bring them alive...I did that in this book. The stories are a combination of reality and fiction.
