Storytelling and listening are part of a passion that fades into every phase of life. Stories were a journey through the curiosity of a child's youth. Many enjoy it as a story. What a fun way to have a good story. It is also the story of sustaining the lush greenery of literature. This book is a compilation of stories by Mr. Joy Nediyalimolel. The narrator opens his mind in front of readers without making any claims. This collection has a lot of storytelling that becomes the theme of contemporary life. Alcohol, impotence and poverty have many suffocating lives. The marriage market, which does not change education or good behaviour, and the devil, who devours the whole family in search of intoxicants, are not story-tellers. This is not a detailed study in which man often turns into a pacifier in a world where life is the foundation and perfection of life. Instead, it merely points out something that has touched the mind. Mr. Joy Nediyalimolel is different from the writers who make a noise in the world of reading and is a writer who takes on the introspection of his own characters. Just like a flowing stream of water, everything that can reach it is touching and flowing. This one in the alphabet will come more and more brightly with the hope that it will be realised in the time to come.

India being mixed economy implemented projects on public-private partnership (PPP) and Kerala being first in the nation to have an airport on PPP model displaced 829 families. and another transport project that facilitates container movement (ICTT) which displaced 316 families. Since both involved forced eviction of families, invite a movement from one place to another which has multiple implications to their life. It can either lead to advancement or marginalisation.

This could have been avoided if there was adequate attention taken to obtain social licensing which promotes economics of recovery and wellbeing of individuals, community and society.

Readers probably may wonder why Shiv Shankar chooses mostly ancient Puranas as themes for his books. It is because in this "Kali Yuga", the whole world is in great turmoil. People do not bother about "Dharma", dogmas or principles. Everywhere, there is corruption, nepotism, favoritism and partiality. In short, people do not believe in leading a righteous life.In this scenario, a solution can only be found in ancient Sreriptures and Upanishads. In this great Indian epic, we find all kinds and aspects of human beings. There is nothing under the sun that has been set aside in this immortal work.For example, in one supreme protagonist, we find a high sense of paternal affection and respects unparalleled in mankind; he comes forward to make a big sacrifice. Another character is prepared to lead her life with her blind husband by closing her eyes with a piece of cloth throughout her life.Villainy, cruelty, ruthless and unscrupulous attitudes are seen in another important yet evil character. The highest degree of gratitude is portrayed in another who is known for his valor and heroism. There are so many other attractions which will be seen with awe, wonder and admiration when anyone starts reading this great epic.
