Rumball

Just like the name Rum ball suggests, it is a short and sweet story of a 16-year-old schoolboy. During the time in 1999-2000, when there was no Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or any other social networking websites, and communication was not easy. Only the landline and postcard were the mediums.

The boy finds a new friend via a paper note left accidentally in the gap of the school bench. Soon, they start leaving notes for each other and develop a unique way of communication. The story revolves around the general events of school and brings a sweet taste of memories to us.

About the Author: I'm not Shakespeare, nor do I have a degree in literature. I'm an entrepreneur, from Pune. In my journey, I have gathered some beautiful events that I have seen up close in my life. Which made me want to write. Such events, such things, through which different emotions such as love, anger, determination, experience, teaching are expressed in a very simple way, I saw closely. And thought that this should be written and shared with all.

Some are from the modern age with speed, technology and energy, while some are from the era when there was no such thing as mobile, internet.

So from this book I am trying to present the first short story among such stories. The name is Rumball.
