Human Colours

It is a matter of great modesty for me that I have been able to present all these stories before the readers in the form of a book. The credit of the same I would like to give to my dear mother who always inspired me to do something different. All the stories are based on my personal experience or the incidents witnessed by me. I have tried to touch on all the aspects of Indian culture and beliefs of Indian people, giving some lessons to one and all. Some stories deal with the importance of relations between a teacher and a student; some with the kindness to be shown to animals, not to be selfish; some with the cruelty of nature when a person becomes helpless; some with the festivals as part of Indian culture and religious beliefs; some with the humanity which is the only religion of the world; some with cruelty of off-springs against parents; some with the cunningness of shrewd women; some with hearts feelings of the young, and some with the helplessness of the elderly people. Some essays deal with fostering brotherhood among people, and some with the boldness leading to the inculcation of patriotic feelings. There is much more in the book expressed in a very simple and lucid, but impressive language of day-to-day use. I hope you will enjoy reading the stories again and again, dealing with different human colours-- your own colours, and mine also. I hope that your moral support will encourage me to go ahead some more steps towards writing.
