The Last 'Sutta' by Vishesh Dubey @notebookandcamera tells us how hard it can be after break up but it's essential that one gears up and becomes even morally correct only then permanent success will kiss your feet.  Break ups are hard and if your partner is heartless it's truly painful and it often changes people.  Some are enough alone spiralling down the ladder and some are all enough being alone.  This book revolves around a young lad Abhay. The story starts with Nandita basking Abhay from belonging from a middle class family and breaking up with him in a horrific way.

Abhay was ashamed for the first time belonging from an average family where as nandita came from an affluent one. While Abhay now goes through withdrawal symptoms, have lost all hope and devides to suicide almost but the bolt from the blue ...

It's raining here heavily ! And in my dark room I am enjoying the winds near my window and checking this latest collection of Manto stories!  It's one of the books I was eyeing for a long time. Having read few stories of Sadat Hasan I truly loved their vibes, I was eager to check out more of his collection.  His stories point out the cruel truth in our world by pointing to us their free existence that most people try to avoid accounting for.  Saadat Hasan Manto (1912–1955) needs no introduction.
