This Anthology contains 6 short stories that are very enticing and full of unexpected surprises:
Modi is a dramatic and tragic story about the big surprise of the change in human destiny. This is an inspiring story about the inner big change. It's beginning with a very sad and poor life of someone who was living alone and with no pride ... Someone really has been insulted and underestimated severely.
And the humiliation that is more imprinting and breaking the heart is, comparing one's bad luck with a successfull fellow (named Modi) whose lives abundantly with prosperity! A friend has the heart to insult one's misfortune, and as if he is cheering by presenting inequality that is in stark contrast with the childhood friend's life. Those can be expressed in the conversation:
Then, he ended the conversation with words that were not less stinging, “Of course, this is already a fate. Look at our friend Modi! Now, he is a successful person. Have a good job, a beautiful wife, healthy-plump children, surely rich, and you know ...?” He paused for a moment. Smoked the cigarette that almost touched the filter. Afterward, with an odd sneer that hurting me, he said flatly, “He certainly can send his children to college. No need to take pains! Not like you ... oh sorry, I mean ‘we’. ‘You and me’…”
Thus, that's the way his mouth even became increasingly poisoned! How could he involved a name of someone else too, specifically by borrowing the success story of Modi - my childhood friend - to fulfill all my heartache.
And time goes on ... Ten years have passed. This is where the whole indignity finds its meaning. Then, what does the big change actually occur? Let's find out exactly by reading the entire story....

In such circumstances, I was almost one hundred percent sure that Ariane had a crush on me. Her attention and kindness proved that, didn't she? Her lips always said sweet words, in my ears those words were filled with love and sincerity. I could see it in her innocent eyes, as well... Her gaze had a deep meaning to me....
Whereas, the young girl always shows her excessive admiration.
Once she said, “I really respect you. I think no one in this world is wiser but you. Everything you say is useful to me. Full of wisdom, full of moral values ... And, of course, I'm very impressed with your philosophy of life!”
