Now, essays are an integral part of the language curriculum in schools. In the segment of non-fiction, the essays are a genre in themselves. Present-day essays need to be short but loaded with information on the topic covered.
In this volume in your hand, the author has attempted to cover topics of common interest to inquisitive readers at large, from every walk of the society.
