Life is all about interpretation. We have read so many stories that mean so much to us. Here too is a bouquet of stories that will help you travel to another world and another time. Life is all about an eternal continuum so is this one too. The stories in this edition describe lifetime experiences, how they impacted living, how they caused pain and grief, how they brought happiness and peace "(From) the beyond..." as the title suggests, talks about how we carry the impact of a lifetime of experiences with us even after we leave the life This sometimes transcends reality. Then I ask myself - what is reality? Does reality mean anything? It is just an interpretation or another perspective. Here is a bunch of stories that came to me in a flash. I think they had been incubating for a decade or so. But as they say, the rubber hit the road in the beginning of 2014. Life, interactions with various people who cross our paths, and various episodes of life are my inspiration. Life is a continuum that defies logic. The continuum encompasses all episodes in life, weaving it in a fine mesh and yet creating a maze to confound us all Each story has an inspiration - almost a history of its own I have been inspired by my leaning and my learning. A major part of my inspiration came from a series of interactions I had in the last decade or so with various entities.
