An Author’s Anguish and other short stories is an anthology of short stories written by the author over a period of sixteen years. A Millennium of Loneliness is about the hopeless longing of a lonely individual for a married woman. On the other hand, My Strange Love story is concerned with fruition of love in the most unlikely circumstances. In An Encounter with an Alien, the author examines the possibility of a hostile civilisation taking over the world and treating humans the way humans treat animals. An Author’s Anguish is about an author’s efforts to find an audience and appreciation for his work. In The Misfit a young man struggles to find his place in a dystopian society in the future. One final chance comes in the way of the middle aged man in Dreams Die Hard to break loose from his shackles and fulfil his academic ambitions but forced by social pressure and deep seated fears, he lets it pass. Oh for a rich and a Beautiful Girlfriend is a humorous take on modern women’s lifestyle and their obsession with physical appearance.
