About this ebook

Peanuts are a metaphor for crunchy real-life incidents-tempting, irresistible, and sometimes unpalatable. The incidents narrated have their breeding ground in a small town, Bhopal, in Madhya Pradesh. The book is a compilation of slices of the lives of a small coterie of some government employees, and their families living lives up to the fullest; very grounded parents only aspire to inculcate good values among their kids; the growing up of middle-class children in well- knit-families-their day to day happenings in schools-colleges, with their friends and friends' parents. This bowl of peanuts is about three things-life, life, and life.

Ratings and reviews

Loved the crunchy, sometimes spicy and sometimes sweet peanuts. Author has really nailed the small town life and it's experiences. So many life lessons hidden in the writings. A must read for people who believe in goodness of humanity and believe that angels are walking amidst us. Perfect gift for kids and young generation who have missed all the sugar and spice of 90s and 2k. Looking forward to next book👍

Love it . I am not a reader but definitely tying to be one . Short stories have such a charm to it. They are quick and easy to digest. The great thing about this book is each story has such depth in it and makes you wonder and expand your perspective. Highly recommended !

Great short stories of different walks of life. Intresting, sweets and based on real life.
