Highlights of a few Stories

A 'Story' is a captivating game of imagination. A game, to go beneath the surface and to play with the characters. Any news, facts compels me to circle around a character, to dwell with the character and explore the possibilities of resolving the situation for a particular incidence. Though, I may have experienced the power of words in India, I was introduced to the characters in USA. Almost all of my story characters are from USA, aka the land of the plenty. Everyone stands before me, eager to be a part of my story, leaving me with no choice. Though all of the stories are fiction, anyone can find threads related to themselves or someone known.
