Everyone has a story about their journey, and we can all find something relatable in them. The characters are pretty relatable. Each story gives us something to think about. Amit being an empathetic person, has a great way of making simple things pretty interesting...
Aditi Gupta
The end of every story leaves us with a belief. That could have been his intention while writing his stories, to make us think critically about the things we take for granted. This book is just a real treat that gives one perspective on things one would otherwise never have likely considered.
