It is an e-book containing 12 short stories, which solely
composed and edited by Biswadeep Ghosh Hazra. It is his first eBook including
all his published and unpublished short stories but it does not seem in the
narration style that he is a newbie. Every story has narrated with a new ting
of narration style, catchy language and interesting story plots. So, here are
the following short stories:
1.
Freak Show: As the title suggested, it
is a horror story where a boy Sameer coincidently found a guy named Rik’s
profile on facebook who found dead. The main thrill started when that deadguy
messaged Sameer and scared the shit out of him by revealing some untold secrets
about him. Story is quite freaky, spine chilling, interesting and justifies the
title as well.
2.
Mother’s Day: This story is all about the unconditional
love between a daughter and mother. Jonaki(daughter) is finally going to meet
her mother Shiuli, who is in rehabilitation center due to her drug addiction.
Story shows that it doesn’t matter whether Shiuli is wrong and convicted in
some charges, Jonaki’s love for her is pure and unconditional that’s why
she want to see her mother happy anyhow.
It is a very heart touching story with a very sweet end.
3.
Lovelorn:
This story is narrated in a very high-tech language so the starting was
totally bouncer for me but as the story goes on the picture gets clear. This
story is about a failed writer cum theatre scriptwriter who overcomes from his
downfall. This story actually gave a lesson that no matter what happen, at the
end of the day everything will gonna be alright.
4.
Choice: In everyone’s a time come where
he/she has to make a choice for their sake and this story is all about making
choices in life. Bhagyashree, who is a trick artist, met Pamela who makes an
offer for her to come with her for a new job, which she rejected due to her
mother. Later some days she comes to know that the girl who was offering a good
job was actually a human trafficker and then she thanked herself for making a
good choice otherwise that other girl could be she.
5.
Appu: This story is about the bond between

so many people around him. Story is actually very interesting with an amazing
story plot.

The White Calf: This St ory has narrated in
the same way I want to tell my story to my son (laughs). Well, this story is
narrated in a very pleasant manner and depict the bonding between a family and
their unpleasant past. The story plot is too good to describe.

Jaded Dreams: This was total bouncer for me
at starting so didn’t paid much heed in reading it but when I read the end it
again send chills through my spine and
it automatically forced me to read it again.

Time has its own value in every perspective that’s all the author wants to tell
through this story.

story plot based on a bitter truth of today’s generation that how they throw
