Roots and Meanderings Learning and Creativity Anthology of Selected Short Stories

From the introduction:

The Learning And Creativity Short Story Contest had no theme and hence the mix of stories we received formed a prism of myriad colours, colours that reflected human emotions, sketched as they were from imagination and experiences. The stories spun hues and shades of compassion, kindness and friendship through the innocence of childhood, the intense and protective bonding of a mother and child and of a brother and sister and the dogged human zeal of making a difference. Not surprisingly, love shined as the predominant theme in most of the stories but each love story presented a unique visage of love. Some stories were rooted in memories of the years of growing up, some explored the unfathomable roots of love and relationships while others were about journeys that started with humble beginnings and meandered towards achieving dreams. The title ‘Roots and Meanderings’ emerged from this unconventional wreath.

Just as engagingly myriad is the selection of short stories in this Anthology, so is the cross-section of authors who have participated. From established authors who already have published books and anthologies to their credit to newbie first time short story writers, from teenaged writers to professionals who are passionate about storytelling, Roots and Meanderings has brought together the most unusual and yet engaging mix of authors.

We are grateful to Mr A K Nanda for editing the stories and to all the authors for agreeing to the edits whole-heartedly. We also extend our thanks to Mr Sayan Roy for providing some great pictures for illustrating some of the stories, including the apt cover pic that beautifully expresses the title. We eagerly look forward to receiving the readers’ feedback to the Anthology. Our email address is editor@learningandcreativity.com.
