My review:

A thought provoking tale of emotions, this book consists of short stories and a poem.

The cover made me read this book as soon as I came across the same.

Language used is subtle and easily understandable.

Title is really good and appropriate.

Each story teaches us a life learning lesson.

Every story is beautifully written with every sense of detailing done.

One minor issue while reading this book is that, it needs another round of editing.

Otherwise, this one is a must read.

Recommended for:

· Short story lovers

Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why.

Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
