Stories I must tell before it is too late - a short story podcast about love, lust and laughter.

SAIKAT BAKSI

Best selling author of English Fiction, Saikat Baksi, believes that life is a collection of short stories. Like an expressionist artist, an author of fiction too keeps painting self-portraits throughout the life. He paints self-portrait with plenty of missing alphabets. The elements of his stories are laughter, tears, silence and sorrow. Fear, greed, love and lust play hide and seek in his stories. Lives are made of all that. Right?

    Elsewhere...

    Even if we love the wind yet we can not grasp it. Despite being charmed by the morning sun, we fail to capture it in a confine. Perhaps, this is the very reason, we love them. We fall in love with those who remain unattainable for good. We chase what we do not get. Once found, we stop chasing that. This is an ironical truth of nature. This short story by the Bestselling author, Saikat Baksi, is about such peculiar fallacy of human love. Voice over - Saikat Baksi and Nilanjana Roy Author - Saikat Baksi
