Description

A collection of interesting short stories.

The Margins are that part of the page which is left blank. These margins seem useless to the body of the text yet they define its boundaries.

Society too consists of the main stream and the margins. Unlike the margins of the page that are static, those of our society are continuously stretching, changing.

When the margins are big, thus failing the shorts are few. But when the mainstream consists of myriad groups, the margins are thin, the divisive lines blurred and the angularities of vision in soft focus.

This is the ideal worth aspiring for and is hopefully within reach.
