Hell Mates

This collection comprises eighteen essays written by blending true memories and fictional incidents with a generous dash of humour and a seasoning of double entendres. Wordplay and witty puns form the very heart of these pieces.

Everyone has played pranks during their school years and even later in life, but such escapades are rarely brought out into the open. Thanks to my friends and teachers, I have been fortunate enough to experience a truly delightful childhood. I am confident that after reading this book, everyone will find themselves wishing, “Oh God, please give me back my childhood!”

The amusing incidents I encountered while studying in college and later working as a resident doctor have added a distinctive flavour to my life. The weddings of one’s children and the birth of a grandchild are milestones that occur in almost everyone’s life. What matters is having a cheerful perspective on them. If we look at the world positively, we will discover pleasant green meadows and beautiful gardens of flowers all along the path of life.

This collection of essays brings to life the truth behind the saying, “Change your thinking, and the world will change.”
