The idea of this book struck me as I was reading the daily newspapers. I found a column in which amazing real life incidents were stated - such as a man living in an unusual place, jewelry mysteriously disappearing, miracles taking place, and many other strange yet interesting things.

I liked these incidents so much that I couldn't stop thinking about the various possibilities they would lead to, and so I started to jolt them into words. I was surprised as I completed my first story within an hour. Though fast, it was only a couple of hundred words, and so I challenged myself to write 15 such very short stories.

These very short stories are filled with adventure, action, irony, tragedy, and humor. Each story has its own world and language, and shows the listener that this is the way of life and how it should be cherished.

The toughest part was to give a name to this collection of very short stories, since they are so varied and could not be categorized; frankly speaking I am not sure even now. The longest one among the collection stood out, so I suggested calling the book by its name: "An Evening with Lady Luck".

I would like to thank my parents and my mentor, Mr. Curtis Peter Van Gorder, for making this audiobook materialize. I hope it helps you as it has helped me. - Shreyans Ranjalkar
