We have to face all these life situations with patience and by maintaining courage. Life will continue to be like this, it never stops. 
  ‘One life many shades’ is a story about a family that gets displaced due to cyclone that hit Odisha in 1999. They faced many challenging situations in their life while maintaining self-belief and courage. The author describes many shades of life in the form of a story. He says that life is a combination of ups and downs and nothing is stable in life. If time always remains the same then we do not understand the importance of the good and the bad deeds. Therefore, both good and bad times come and go in each one of our life. Further, he adds that difficult times do not come to weaken us but makes all of us stronger. We should face challenges by being positive with the hope that good things will happen with us. I hope that this book will help you in being optimistic about life along with a good story.
