Download and read online ebook Colors of Life in Black and White write by Tanmoy Das. This book was released on 2015-02-16. Colors of Life in Black and White available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Tanmoy Das, better known as Tan, is a writer of his kind. He has been writing since childhood and here is his first book – a compilation of his stories. A lot can be told in less words. Tiny stories as he calls them, are very much different from regular short stories. The author has tried to come up with a set of tiny stories that talk about subtle instances in the lives of the protagonist(s). The idea is to present a few pages from big untold novels and let the readers envisage riding on their own imagination. Overall, this compilation is a good mixture of thoughts, imagination and sentiments, wrapped in simplicity and delicate human propensities and emotions. It will allow the readers to let loose of their imagination and think beyond the pages in this book. The stories start with no background and end abruptly, almost every time, in a situation where there would be more that remains untold and the reader is free to see through his mind's eye. This book will be able to make the readers ponder upon infinitesimal occurrents from the daily life which are brutally and habitually ignored in the wonted hubbub. The tiny stories would provide previews of few of the countless colors of life in black and white.
