This story of mine is an adaptation of the story, “Chand Saawla Hai,” published in Hindi. And the stories, inspired by some events, do represent both imagination and fragments that mirror the truth. What is happening today is a story, what was happening yesterday was also a story, and what happens tomorrow will also become a story. If everything was seen as truth instead of a story, then today, perhaps, the background of our society and families would have told a different story. Everyone has their boundaries and premises, and most of the time, they are violated. But there is no violation of these violations, nor is there any scale to measure all this. Just as one truth is different for different persons and becomes a story, in the same way, just like there was a king and there was a queen, this story gets over. And will this happen always…? We have not been able to learn anything from the Panchatantra stories of the animal kingdom till date, which in my view forms the biggest learning through stories. I think no writer can teach someone something by simply writing a story; One only tries to tell by expressing one’s thoughts, “Look, this is happening. And is it really happening!?”

Beautiful, heartfelt collection; needs a little edit - I was not too fond of the book when I began reading it. Instead of having a fictional setting and narrative, the writing was very matter-of-fact, which failed to impress me. Initially, for the first story, I had a hard time getting through the book, which happened a few times throughout the book. However, as I went on reading, I got accustomed to the writing style and fell in love with the stories. They were intense, emotional, heartfelt, and yet simple in their approach to human sensitivity. The stories in this collection are probably the reason why I love short stories so much.The book began progressively better from the sixth story, 'Threshold of a Big House.'

Impressive writing - Book Name: thresholdAuthor: @sudhasikrawarWhen you read this book you realize how little you know about your society.The cover of the book is very attractive, after seeing it you will definitely feel that I should read it.There are 17 stories in the book, which are completely different from each other, each story will take you on a new journey, somewhere you will find yourself in it, somewhere someone close to you.The first story of this book 'moon is always not milky' will show you an incomplete love, then in 'Threshold of a big house' you will come to know how women are oppressed in our society and how they live it considering it as their life.In today's time, if you are looking for a book like Premchand ji's stories read in your syllabus, then I think this is the book.
