The very thought of being away from my son all day long sometimes makes me feel low. Being a working woman, I seldom feel that my responsibilities as a mother remain overlooked. The talks of some non-working friends & family ladies add more to this worry of mine. Some of them never worked and many of them had to leave their jobs in order to fulfill the responsibility as a mother. My life often takes me to the thought of becoming a homemaker so that I can stay at home all the time for my son. However, at the same moment, I also realize my responsibility towards my family which includes my in-laws and my aging parents who need financial support from me. My role of being a working woman allows me to share the financial responsibilities of my husband. I have worked against all odds to make a career. So, how can I abandon all this?

A Bit of Introduction 

Two months back, I joined a new company as a software project manager. And with this, I also shifted to a new city. I could not write much during this shifting time, as there were many other things that needed my attention on priority. With a new job, new city and a new house, I faced challenges of finding a new school for my kid, a new market where I can buy staple items and a new setup for my family which was in habit of living a comfortable life in Delhi. #MyFriendAlexa I took as an opportunity to proffer life back to my blog which was the most neglected entity of my world during this movement and adjustment span. My target is to write 8 posts for #MyFriendAlexa campaign in which 4 will make you a bit more compassionate person, and remaining 4 will make you more informed.

Have you come across a book for which you wanted to read beyond the last chapter? "Ten Tales" from Surbhi Mahobia is one such book.  "Ten Tales" is a compilation of ten short stories for children aged 8 years and above. These stories are a mix of magic, mystery, thrill, suspense, happiness, and excitement. Although the book blurb says that it is a book for children, I feel it is a must-read for adults as well.

Every story of this book is beautifully crafted. One after other, when I was reading the stories, I was getting heartfelt. Those were cute yet deeply touching. Surabhi has done a great job with her book. I could not find anything that is missing from this book. Stories are exciting. They keep the reader hooked. Although the book has a few stories that have realities of this world, yet their fictional end is soothing. It leaves you with a thought placed in your mind. The book is perfectly designed. Everything comes well aligned. It is a pleasing read through …
