Waqt Ki Lakeerein is a collection of fifteen Hindi short stories written by me, exploring some of the most pressing issues in Indian society. These stories capture the many hues of life-truth, struggle, love, joy, and sorrow. They will take you on a journey through the life you live, and perhaps, the life you long for. Some stories may feel deeply personal, evoking memories of a distant moment, while others may linger in your heart like a gentle dream. This is my debut collection of short stories. - Gajendra Bhatt 'Hridayesh' The author's awareness and sensitivity towards social issues are truly commendable. His simple and expressive narrative style enhances both the impact and accessibility of these stories. - Nand Bharadwaj, Author & Former Senior Director, Doordarshan
