Biggest takeaway: human relationships are too frail to be taken for granted.

Majority of the stories broke my heart. Never a fan of short stories, these ones were hauntingly beautiful. Ram Kumar was also a noted painter, this book is filled with his drawings and scribbles which enhances the entire experience.
