About this ebook

Coffee, Smiles & Tears: by Starlight”; is a collection of short stories. These are vignettes and miniatures. They are the doll’s- house in my heart. These tales are of fleeting moments in which we live a lifetime of emotions. These are my ‘Wonders’ and ‘Closures’ in life. I emerged from the cocoon;I found my wings. Here are stories of “Life” that never ceases to surprise me. As with my collection of poems, so with these stories, this is “Life” as I see it. They are ramblings, musings. I claim no definition, because, for me life does not come with tags. It enfolds you every which way. Being a coffee lover, I believe in dipping every nuance of my life in coffee, especially late into the night. I love looking at the night sky and gazing at the stars. They know of my tears and smiles. So that’s my time to watch the starlight blend into my coffee. Debaleena Mukherjee.

As I read Debaleena’s short stories, I was again transported to faraway places by her exquisite use of words. I could smell the bouquets, potpourris and fragrances in The Perfumery at the End of the Lane. I could feel the breeze, hear the birds and insects, and see the seasonal colours she describes in the Earth Mother’s annual carnival. I must not give away too much about the Tattered Angel - but I got totally caught up in this wonderful tale. And as for the Auntie - well, we all know an Auntie! These were just my favourites - Heaven and Earth, life, death, fear, and of course Love, are all within these pages. So do settle down, with your coffee, read, and enjoy.
