The miracle and other stories - Manoj Das

Presented as a collection of short stories at different periods, the stories have a mix of strange human emotions, reactions and mysticism in them. The stories are not very much aligned to any realism per se but many of them depict the irrationalities of general human reaction or expression.

Definitely recommended and a breeze read in couple of hours.
