This book represents a graph of the progress made by this type of literature. Generally speaking, a short essay is a mixture of poetry, humour and philosophy. Each short essay is the manifestation of an author`s imagination. When he produces them they appear in a blended form. It becomes difficult to differentiate each form of literature. All the essays reflect these qualities. Yet, this collection itself has two parallel styles. One tends to be more technical and one is more emotional. The emotional form reflects the unrestricted journey of imagination and thoughts. It also presents the darker shades of gravity.
