An Encounter with the Ghosts and Other Stories

This collection of short stories represents multiple human experiences. The stories are about the experiences of a ghost, passionate love and infatuation in married life; conflict in conjugal life and its consequences, the cultural affluence of an Indian village; humor resultant of a rustic man’s habit of prank-playing, and undergoing an irksome experience of fishing.

Lalji Das and Shekhar have terrifying experiences while encountering ghosts. Champa and Komal believe that love remains undefeated in the world and that even hell cannot stand in  the path of love. Kalpana Devi’s undue imposition upon her son results into her own repentance of guilt. The fate of Kamlakshi exposes how misunderstanding in conjugal life annihilates family life. India Heaven presents a eulogy on the cultural affluence of an Indian village witnessed by Mr. Brown and Mr. Flory. Prank playing isn’t always good and sometimes throws a man into a crisis.
