For Want of a Pocket

More about the book

A maiden attempt to bring what has been to author's until now 'nonsense writing.' Life throws up many meaningful, unmeaningful, significant and hilarious situations at times. The book is entitled 'For Want of a Pocket' as it is from a sari-wearing lady's point of view. It is a collection of four short stories. The first story 'FESEM' reflects the grinding procedure in purchasing sophisticated equipment that is expected to be beneficial to many and in more ways than one. The next, entitled 'Love' is about two successful professionals and their interaction after 35 years in completely different environments. Will the lady be able to save what she wants to save? Will the man get what he desired lifelong? The third, entitled 'Tit-for-Tat, ' deals with the games some play to avoid direct confrontation, resulting in expected and unexpected consequences. The last story with the book's title 'For Want of a Pocket' is a lady's irritation at not having a pocket in her sari when her purses' contents play hide and seek on a busy evening. Is not having a pocket the cause of all her trouble or does it lie somewhere else
