Hi, my name is Manoj Nair. The posts on this blog are mostly incidents from my past, which I present in the form of stories. Since some of the hero, heroines and unfortunately almost all of the villains from these stories are alive today, the names and locations have been changed.
So with a sincere hope that none of my characters read blogs, especially not this one and come after me with sharp objects, I present Short Stories From Life. Read on and be a part of my world 
While not blogging, work with a software firm based out of Mumbai, India.
Hello. I have enjoyed my visit to your blog.
Thanks John.
ha ha ha OMG you are so funny…its strange but true villains dont die easily
guess no wants them up there as well
I like the idea of your blog, of taking incidents from your life and making them into stories… I believe real life is so much more interesting than in the novels! Thanks for stopping by my blog as well
Right …so what if we do not jump of planes or drive around in fast cars shooting at the bad guy’s, our lives are no less interesting
I love it…. Very beautiful…. Somehow Uncle U found peace….
Thanks Mizz. Yes, finally he did find peace.
Manoj – Thank you for the like on my blog! I will be back!

Hi Indira, nice to know you too
Thanks for liking my poetry. I appreciate it and your stories seem very interesting.
I look forward to reading more of your stories.
Writing poetry, requires you to think, I find that difficult, so stick to stories
And that’s alright with me, Manoj
I seem to be dumbstruck – really just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your blog. I agree with your observations about poetry, and glamorous occupations (jumping out of planes, shooting bad guys…).
Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking one of the posts.
I like very much your photo-montage that opens your blog…
Thanks. A search on the web and a little bit of photo-shop….
Appreciate your visit to my site. Thanks.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you’re out there. I’ve always wanted to travel to India and I feel like I get a tiny glimpse of what life is like there through reading your blog. Thank you.
India is a state of mind rather than a country

Hi Manoj, thanks for the follow. I had ‘followed’ The Unofficial Version and then I’m not sure how I got unfollowed – that is my own word

Was having some domain related issues with The Unofficial Version so created a new site on wordpress. Thanks for following back.
