A woman named Maria starts searching for love ever since she was 11. She falls in love with the first boy she has liking towards and over a period of years, she learns there is no such thing as love. She gets into the shady business of prostitution and not because she must but because she is okay with that. She is not a normal prostitute, she is an innocent girl for some clients, caring mother figure for some and fatale femme for the rest. In the run of selling her body for money, she comes across a painter who is not interested in sex.
Painter Ralf Hart is someone who not only makes her fall in love but also touches her soul. What will she do next? Will she keep selling her body or will she surrender to one man?

Time to read books… every day!!!

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 10:59:48 +0000

People most times, avoid reading books simply because they don’t have time. However, it is not true for social media apps. People can send controversial TWEETS for hours; they can scroll the Facebook page for so long that they forget night’s sleep and don’t even get me started on Instagram.

However, there is a solution for all these and that is, “Short Stories”

Short stories have been a popular genre ever since the early 1800s. People have been fond of short stories which they can complete quickly and without losing interest even for a second. One may not have time to read the whole novel or a book with a long story that goes on for 800-900 pages. But a person will always find a time to read the story that lasts just 3-5 pages. Well, time constrain being the reason, here are the 4 other reasons why you should read short stories:
1.   Happiness: The pleasure you'll get on finishing the story/book will be beyond measure. It takes time to finish a novel but there is no limit to finish a book of short stories. You can finish 3 stories today and rest you can read 30 years later for all you care. There will be no unfinished thing bugging you all day and night.
2.   A push: You'll get a push to read another story and once you finish the whole book, you'll be motivated to pick up the next one and then next and then next. This never-ending series of pleasuring events will make you a knowledgeable human being over a period of time. When you conclude the book that would satisfy your soul, you’ll try to find something similar: from the same author, genre, or something that deals with the same topic. And this will make you an avid reader.
3.   Newness: When you read short stories, you feel like refreshing your read time and again because one can easily finish the book of short stories. So, why not trying titles, authors or genres you never knew, you would ever get interested in? Why not give chance to new people to tell them their stories? This will encourage them and you’ll get to read a fresh perspective.
4.   In – between the reads: If you are already an avid reader and you are reading a book that is draining you out, then short stories are most recommended. The book of short stories will work as a breather for you. If you are reading classic literature like Anna Karenina or War & Peace, you certainly need a book of short stories in between.
5.   Polygamist Reader – It’s good to be a polygamist reader. A very few talented people can do that and once you become a part of that bunch, there is no going back. The book of short stories will help you juggle between them.
Thus, try a book of Short Stories and fall in love with books again.
