A young lady blames herself every single day for her unrequited love, she has decided never to fall in love again, fear of trauma has overpowered her life; a middle aged man is afraid of change, he opposes change so fiercely that he hates even changing his barber or newspaper, leave alone the town and people; a near middle-aged man lives a bustling life only to avoid self-introspection, actually he is avoiding collision with his past; a young boy wants to enjoy his life but is scared of his father, he knows he is on weak ground. This is what this collection of nine short stories has portrayed throughout—fear and dilemmas of ordinary individuals.
