Dear Reader,Whispers Between the Pages is a collection of stories that I've been writing over the years, each one born from a spark of inspiration or a quiet moment of reflection. Some of these stories arrived in a rush, others took their time to unfold. But all of them, in their own way, have shaped this collection into something I'm proud to share with you.Short stories, by their nature, are delicate things. They don't have the space to linger in the way novels do, but that's what I love about them—they capture a moment in time, a fragment of thought or feeling, and leave an imprint on the reader's mind long after the last page is turned. In these pages, you'll find characters and situations that are, in many ways, reflections of us all: people searching for meaning, grappling with choices, or standing at the crossroads of hope and despair.Some stories are light and whimsical, others darker or more somber, but each one carries with it a thread of something real, something human. I hope you'll find, as I did while writing them, that in these brief glimpses, we can see ourselves more clearly, connect with others more deeply, and perhaps even understand the world just a little bit better.Thank you for allowing me the privilege of sharing these stories with you. I hope you find a whisper within these pages that speaks to your heart.With gratitude and warmth,Ankush Dhillon
