"The empty nest suddenly became our happily ever after."
'From Here, With Love' by Prashant Sharma is a collection of eleven amazing short-stories. The author has very clearly mentioned that you can pick any story to start reading with, and not necessarily in an order.
The description of the Mumbai rains was impeccable. As someone who hasn't been to Mumbai, this story made my heart melt.
Since the book has around 90 odd pages, you won't even realize by the time you are done. But, this set is not meant to be completed within a single-sitting, but to devour every emotion and thought that arises while reading it.
Life has its own way of bringing us joys and sorrows and teach us a lot of stuff. While reading each of these stories, you will come across a lot of relatable scenarios - either from your life or the lives of others you've known. To me, the writing felt very natural and deep. I really urge you to pick it up and soak yourselves in solace.

From Here, With Love : Heartfelt Slice-of-Life Stories of Love and Human Connections by Prashant Bhushan Sharma is a collection of beautifully written short stories dripping with love, heartbreak and hopefulness formed by different bonds, be it with our significant other, lover, parents, grandparents, etc. This book delves into romantic love, platonic love, second chances, lost relationships and friendships, the emotions of which I found to be deeply relatable.
I am intrigued by the way the author has penned down each story providing an open choice to the readers to pick up their favourite cookies and the story they wish to read! It’s not something just to read and get it over with in a single sitting. It’s a kind of book that you can pick up at anytime and from anywhere which stays with you forever.

There’s a rare kind of comfort that comes from stories that feel lived-in rather than written, and this book offers exactly that. From the very first story, I felt like I was stepping into moments that belonged to real people, moments shaped by love, regret, silence, hope, and the courage to feel deeply. The way Sharma said “I never really looked at you… not like this. Not until today.” to Disha showed how naturally author portrayed the emotions of two people who loved each other so much.
This collection explores human connections in their simplest yet most meaningful forms. The stories move gently through romantic love, friendships, family bonds, second chances, and relationships that exist in the quiet spaces between words. What struck me most was how familiar everything felt. These aren’t dramatic tales filled with twists; they’re reflections of ordinary lives, where emotions simmer beneath the surface and often go unspoken.
I loved that the book doesn’t demand to be read in one sitting. You can open it anywhere, choose a story that matches your mood, and still feel complete. The settings - cafés, homes heavy with silence, hospital corridors, fleeting meetings at airports, ground each story in reality, making the emotions hit closer to home.
Many stories gently remind us how ego often delays conversations that matter, how both people wait for the other to speak first. There’s a quiet encouragement here to choose communication over pride and empathy over assumption. These stories nudge you to be kinder, to listen more closely, and to understand the invisible battles people carry.
Written in simple, uncluttered language by the author, the book feels warm and sincere, much like a heartfelt letter. Even the cover reflects that calm, soothing energy.
This book felt like sitting beside someone who truly understands human emotions. A gentle, touching collection that stays with you for long.

From Here With Love by author Prashant is a beautiful collection of 11 heart touching and emotional short stories. Each story is different, yet every one of them highlights a special bond and leaves you with a feeling of warmth.
My favourite story from the book is “Hope Delivered by Mistake.” This story truly touched me and I know I’ll remember this for a long time. Aarav, a 27 year old man living alone with no pets and only a clingy plant for company is struggling with the loss of his mother. One day, he sends a message to his mother’s number, but it accidentally reaches an elderly woman named Meera. And honestly, the universe couldn’t have chosen a better person. Meera is the sweetest character I absolutely loved her kindness and positive energy. After that accidental message, Meera keeps checking in on Aarav from time to time, and slowly, a very special bond forms between them. I loved how Meera and her family eventually accept Aarav as one of their own. It was truly heart touching and carried a beautiful message of kindness and human connection.
Another story I really enjoyed was “Delayed but Found” This one explores the rocky relationship between a daughter and her father. A father who was absent during her childhood now tries to make amends with his daughter, who is all grown up. I loved the small, quiet moments in this story especially the Starbucks scene. It felt so pure and real. Rita's character was beautifully written, it was sassy and easy to connect with.
If you’re looking for a book that brings together stories from different genres, where each story is meaningful and emotionally rich, then you should definitely give From Here With Love a try. It’s a short, fun, and engaging read that leaves your heart a little fuller.

January 9, 2026Are you searching for a book that discusses love and human connections in a very straightforward and sincere manner?
Then this is the place where your hunt finishes. From Here, With Love by Prashant Sharma is among the finest heart-touching short story collections in which every story has something to convey.
The subjects of these stories include happy endings, misunderstandings, treachery, unreciprocated love, yearning, relationships that never had their closure and recovery.
One of the things I remember most that was also mentioned in the book is that love is not always about happy endings and beautiful times; sometimes, love is in silence or in memories.
The conciseness of the narratives gives the reader the opportunity to peruse the whole book at one sitting, but the impact of reading continues to be felt. The tales might lead you to pause for a moment and contemplate about your life, your relationships, or the one you have loved in the past. This is the charm of the book...it provokes feelings in you without being very explicit. My favorite stories were Chaat Bhandar, Bring it on and Whispers in the inbox. Especially Chaat bhandar which felt nostalgic. The story carries a simple yet powerful message: no matter how many years pass, everything may change but some memories stay untouched, feeling as fresh as yesterday, instantly pulling you back into the past.
The author's manner of writing is extremely simple and truthful, making it very accessible to people of all ages. A novice reader searching for something gentle, emotional, and with a reflection on life and relationships would find this book ideal!

This book is a mosaic crafted from the quiet corners of the human heart. Within these pages, I found stories that explore love, loss, healing, hope, perseverance, and everything in between.
Each narrative captures a fleeting moment that is meant to linger as a reminder that even the smallest encounters can change us in the most profound ways.
Among these stories, I liked the story, "Chaat Bhandar", here I find the old person who could not recognise his friends grandson. He shares his feelings and emotions in silence though he knows his words fall on empty glasses. The depth of his feelings and how he expresses his love and care for Rishi is palpable.
In story, " Friendship, Unusual", the bond between Rekha aunty and the sweet little girl, Tanu is so relatable. I could feel the pain in their eyes and how they longed for each others presence in their lives. Sometimes unusual bonds make you more happy and satisfied than your blood relations as you need to be physically present when needed.
These are stories that offer comfort and warmth, even in the toughest moments. They remind the reader of humanity, empathy, and the quiet goodness that still exists around us.
The writing is simple, uncluttered, and deeply relatable. Even the cover reflects the book’s mood: calm, poised, and soothing. I would love to read more of these stories.
Overall, this book is collection of relatable stories that make you ponder little moments spent in silence. The sound made by heart is heard loudly and leaves a lasting impression on the minds of the reader.

From Here, With Love is a collection of eleven short stories that talk about human emotions and relationships. Each story is different but when you read them together, they feel connected. The book shows everyday life, love, loss, hope & second chances, through small moments that feel real. Because of this, the stories feel personal and easy to relate to, as if they are taken from real life.
The book mainly talks about love but not in a dramatic way. It shows love between partners, family, friends & even love that is lost or never spoken about. Some stories are warm, some are sad & some just quietly stay with you. The emotions feel real and simple, not exaggerated.
The writing feels calm and easy from the start. Everything is expressed in a very natural way which makes the stories feel real. While reading there are small moments that make you pause and think about how simple actions, silence & simple understanding often say more than big or dramatic words.
My favourite story from the book is “Raheel.” This story feels very relevant in today’s time. It shows a wounded soldier and a child who are just trying to reach home. There is fear but there is also trust. The story does not talk about politics or sides. It simply shows humanity. It reminds us that before borders and conflicts, people are just people.
Overall, this is a simple and heartfelt book. It talks about emotions in a quiet way and focuses on human connection.

This is a short story collection consisting of eleven stories. Each story showcases a different emotion. There are stories that speak about how a real-life couple communicates after decades of living a routine married life, how a sweet shop creates an emotional connection through a passing legacy, how a conversation with Kavya at a party teaches Aashima something meaningful about marriage, a story that portrays father-daughter love and how a stranger brings happiness to a wounded soul longing for love etc. So as I said, all these were completely in contrast to one another.
All the stories in this book are written in a contemporary style. They often begin with everyday settings such as a rainy day in Mumbai, a person sitting by a pool, walking in a busy street, opening a doornob etc. The emotions presented in this book are common yet often unnoticed, but the way they are portrayed is very calming. The stories made me shed happy tears as well as tears of satisfaction. The story titled “From Here, With Love” is my favourite among all. It beautifully depicts the love that blooms after an arranged marriage.
One common aspect I noticed in all these stories is the descriptive narration. The scenes are narrated at a slow pace, which helps the reader clearly visualize each scene. Even the author’s note, thank-you note and reader’s note included in the book are written artistically and filled with emotion and a pure personal touch. Reading this book was a truly blissful experience.

They often begin with everyday settings such as a rainy day in Mumbai, a person sitting by a pool, walking in a busy street, opening a doornob etc. The emotions presented in this book are common yet often unnoticed, but the way they are portrayed is very calming. The stories made me shed happy tears as well as tears of satisfaction. The story titled “From Here, With Love” is my favourite among all. It beautifully depicts the love that blooms after an arranged marriage.
One common aspect I noticed in all these stories is the descriptive narration. The scenes are narrated at a slow pace, which helps the reader clearly visualize each scene. Even the author’s note, thank-you note and reader’s note included in the book are written artistically and filled with emotion and a pure personal touch. Reading this book was a truly blissful experience.

There are some books which sit quietly beside you, listen to your silences, and then very gently hold your hand. From Here, With Love by Prashant Sharma is one such book.
This collection of 11 short stories feels like a soft mosaic of human connections, love that lingers, loss that reshapes us, heartbreak that doesn’t always end loudly. These are stories about people we may never meet, yet instantly recognize. The author writes with tenderness, allowing emotions to breathe instead of dramatizing them, and that restraint makes every story hit deeper. I just didn't read these stories, I felt them settle somewhere inside my chest.
My absolute favourite short story was “From Here, With Love”, a profoundly moving conversation between two souls destined to love each other, yet never meant to be together. There is healing in their words, acceptance in their pauses, and a quiet maturity in letting go without bitterness. It reminded me that some love stories aren’t meant to culminate in togetherness; some exist only to teach us how deeply we can feel and still survive.
Another story that stayed with me long after I turned the page was “Friendship, Unusual.” The bond between Rekha Aunty, aching with the absence of her granddaughter, and little Tanu, a tiny tot who unknowingly fills that void, is achingly beautiful. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t always arrive in the form we expect and sometimes, healing finds us through the most unexpected friendships.
From Here, With Love is for readers who believe that emotions don’t need grand settings, just honest hearts. A book that whispers, comforts, and gently reminds you: we are all connected through love, loss, and the spaces in between.

From Here, With Love: Heartfelt Slice-of-Life Stories of Love and Human Connections by Prashant Sharma is a beautifully written collection of short stories that gently linger in your heart long after the final page. Each story unfolds with a quiet tenderness, subtle, delicate, and deeply rooted in everyday emotions that define human relationships.
What truly stands out is how effortlessly the author captures love in its simplest yet most meaningful forms: unspoken feelings, fleeting moments, silent understanding, and connections that don’t demand grand gestures to feel profound. There’s a warmth in these pages that feels familiar, almost personal, as if the stories mirror moments from our own lives.
The story that truly touched my heart was the story between the father and the daughter and how because they had drifted apart because the father was busy working so that his daughter could make choices in life. It was close to me because of my own bond that I shared with my father.
Though the book is a quick read, its impact is anything but small. It speaks volumes about empathy, vulnerability, and the beauty of human bonds, reminding us that even the most ordinary interactions can carry extraordinary depth. This is the kind of book you read slowly, not because it’s long, but because you want to sit with the emotions it evokes. A comforting, soulful read for anyone who believes in the quiet power of human connection. 💛

"From Here, With Love" brings together heartwarming stories of heartbreaks, hope, second chances, and love between various relationships (with parents, grandparents, in-laws, friends, and strangers).
The bonds here are often strained, dealing with hardships, but never without hope. What stayed with me most is how these stories gently nudge you to say out loud the things you’ve been burying deep inside. Often, both people are waiting for the other to speak first because ego, at times, becomes more important than the relationship itself. This book encourages you to be kinder to others, to try and learn their stories.
At its core, this book is a reminder to keep love and communication above everything else.
The title feels just right. These are stories that offer comfort and warmth, even in the toughest moments. They remind the reader of humanity, empathy, and the quiet goodness that still exists around us.
The writing is simple, uncluttered, and deeply relatable. Even the cover reflects the book’s mood: calm, poised, and soothing. I would love to read more of these stories.

The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this novel is that it contains an unexpected quality of comfort. The collection of stories is short but significant, telling about the same situations hide the different aspects of life—like pain, hope, love and second chances—with common or ordinary people like your relatives, friends, and even you. The author is very simple in his approach yet so powerful and the emotions that the reader can feel while reading are really broad but not overpowering. The stories are written in such a way that they can be read separately and enjoyed as such. Two of my absolute favourites are - 'Delayed, but found' and 'Friendship, Unusual'.
So if you want to take a break during your reading, it might happen that the message would be even louder after your break. Some parts will stay with you after reading, for sure. The power of the writer's idea will be so warm that it will push you to reach and talk, to listen carefully, to lower your defenses and to show compassion when in the company of others in the world around you. This novel is a source of warmth, human connection and wisdom for all its readers.

This book by Prashant Bhushan Sharma is a collection of stories; stories that aren't about huge life events but about the little moments in between like waiting at an airport, sitting in a hospital or grabbing a coffee. These are some of the familiar settings that made the read relatable. This is a work of contemporary fiction that finds its strength in the extraordinary feelings hidden in ordinary lives.
The descriptions of bustling streets, quiet homes are vivid as well as the smell of the rain or the city noise.
I loved "Friendship, Unusual." The unusual friendships found between people always interests me and the connection between Rekha aunty and Tanu felt relatable.
While reading this book I realised the weight of unfinished conversations, regrets and consequences of silence, importance of memories. Also, the characters are real and flawed just like we are so I could connect with their emotions.
The stories are short but do let them sink in without feeling rushed as they don't always give you perfect happy endings. Instead it offers recognition.

From here, with love by Prashant Sharma is a collection of heartfelt, slice of life stories that revolve around love, relationships & human connections. Each story explores a different form of love romantic love, family bonds, friendships, lost connections & even the love we slowly learn to give ourselves. Love here is not always perfect. Sometimes it’s incomplete, sometimes misunderstood, sometimes silent. Some stories may make you smile, some may make you emotional & some will simply make you pause & think. Another beautiful aspect is it shows human connections the small gestures, unspoken feelings & moments we usually ignore. It reminds us that love doesn’t always need grand expressions sometimes it exists quietly in everyday life. I truly appreciated is how real & relatable the stories feel. The writing style is easy, clean & gentle making it perfect for both new readers & regular book lovers. A gentle, emotional book that reminds us how beautiful human connections can be.

I read this book of eleven short stories recently and flew through it in a couple of days. It was a really quick read and honestly, I enjoyed every single story in the collection. Each one had its own unique feel, but the chapter about Aarav and Meera was definitely my favorite. It’s about a guy who accidentally texts his late mother's number and ends up connecting with a kind woman who eventually feels like family to him.
The writing across the whole book is very relatable and doesn't try too hard. I loved how the author balanced the sadder moments with a bit of hope. Even though the stories are short, you really get a sense of who the characters are. Seeing Aarav find comfort in a stranger's kindness was so moving, and it made the entire book feel special. If you're looking for something that’s easy to get into but still packs an emotional punch, I’d highly recommend this one. It’s a beautiful look at how people can help each other heal in the most unexpected ways

If you think short books can’t leave a big impact, From Here, With Love will happily prove you wrong. Written by Prashant Sharma, this book is a bundle of slice-of-life stories that are small in size but huge in emotions. It’s the kind of book you start casually and finish before you even realize only to sit there smiling, feeling things.
I finished the book in one sitting, but honestly, some stories were so touching that I wanted to flip back and read them again immediately.
My favourite chapter has to be “Chaat Bhandar.” Sethji completely stole my heart. His character reminded me so much of my grandmother and the little conversations we used to have it made the story feel incredibly personal and nostalgic.

From Here, With Love by Prashant Bhushan Sharma is a gentle collection of slice-of-life stories that explore love in its many quiet, complicated forms
From the very first story, I felt like I was stepping into moments that belonged to real people, moments shaped by love, regret, silence, hope, and the courage to feel deeply. The way Sharma said “I never really looked at you… not like this. Not until today.” to Disha showed how naturally author portrayed the emotions of two people who loved each other so much
A very refreshing style of storytelling . Written in a way which allows emotions to surface naturally rather than being pushed through. Certainly going to be my travel companion

📖 Book Review 📖
I read From Here, With Love and honestly, I loved it.
This book doesn’t shout or try to impress.
It quietly walks into your heart and stays there.
Each story feels like something I’ve seen, felt, or lived.
The lanes, shops, parks, homes, all feel so real and familiar.
The part I loved the most was the story where Aarav accidentally messages his late mother.
That single mistake turns into a gentle, unexpected bond with a stranger.

Nothing dramatic happens, yet the kindness in those messages feels powerful.
This story reminded me how even small human warmth can bring hope back into someone’s life.
While reading, I felt like I was watching life through a window.
Some stories made me smile without realizing it.
Some made my chest feel heavy in a soft, sad way.
The characters don’t feel fictional at all.
They feel like neighbors, parents, strangers, or even me.
I especially loved how small moments were given so much meaning.
A tea stall, a wrong message, an old shop, they all carried emotions.
There is love here, but not dramatic love.
It’s quiet love, everyday love, the kind we often miss.
The writing is simple, warm, and very honest.
I didn’t rush through this book.
I read one story, paused, and thought about my own life.
This is the kind of book you return to when you feel lonely.
It reminds you that human connection still exists.
I finished it feeling comforted and understood.

The feeling when you experience something pure :)
I could not put this book down. I was compelled to keep on reading. Although I never wanted this book to end. This book felt like sitting next to your best friend, your first love, your mother and experiencing pure emotions. Something which touches your heart directly. No drama, no surprises, no twist and turns, but just true and pure emotions. Kudos to the writer. Eager for the next one.
