• Tales of 2020 is an Anthology of 14 short stories by different authors based on the impact of lockdown and global pandemic in the daily life of an individual. 2020 was the world’s biggest physiological experimental year for the whole human race.
• Each story is a roller coaster ride of emotions like love, fear, struggle, compassion, sympathy, and hope. “There is nothing good about a pandemic, except one thing: It has the ability to unite mankind. It has the ability to stimulate our collective consciousness.”
• One story I liked more is “Infection of immorality”. It is a story of an auto-rickshaw driver, how he struggled during the lockdown to earn the money. And how the circumstances infect his mind to commit a big mistake in his life. But one of his neighbor’s acts of kindness stops him to commit the mistake.
• Overall it is a simple and good read.

Life, compassion, love, and betrayal. What do all these terms have in common? They are the words of expression that the author use in this read.
We met for a reason is a story of Karan who want a romantic and compassionate relationship but fear with commitment in the relationships. He met three girls Anika, Shanaya, and Shalini, and experience the different shades of love. A disastrous incident changed his perception of his life, and he found his true love.
The author crafted Karan's character very strongly. Though the character of Karan is much like Casanova boy, you will feel the emptiness and emotions of his heart.
I must say Saurabh is a great narrator with the ability to paint a world that the reader can visualize and feel as though they belonged there.
