Living One Day at a Time - Ishika Jain

. .

Résumé :
What if I die tomorrow? We have all pondered over this question at least once in our lifetime. Sometimes, we say it jokingly, but sometimes just the thought of it starts haunting our minds. This is what happened during Covid times. When we could see numerous people dying around us, this thought felt a lot more real. There were deaths and misery, but also love, togetherness, passion, and a will to overcome that phase. The pandemic gave us thousands of stories brewing in every home and even on the streets. This book is a collection of 10 fiction stories inspired by real events trying to capture every element of the pandemic, whether its hope, migration, love, loss of someone, career, passion, or meaning of family. These stories are for every common person who would be able to relate to and understand others' pain and hope. The mantra that kept us sane during those times was Living one day at a time. Sometimes, we get so caught up in planning our future or carrying the burden of our past that we forget to live today. These stories will make you realize the value of this one day and cherish it. Let's live one day at a time!
