dreams, love, principles, VALUES, Friendship & hatred, revenge, trust in
one word all emotions and phases of life…”
The book is an amazing collection of
stories of different genres written by very talented budding authors coming
from varied backgrounds. It is a positive trend in the publishing industry of
giving new authors a golden opportunity like this to be published at a
nation-wide level.
Herein is my story-wise review in
brief for all stories as, I don’t want to break the charisma of discovering the
hidden emotions by your own. To unfold the same you need to read this book.
1. Inspiration, An Odyssey of
Discovering Life... Again - By Apoorva Arora
The story is good and has a beautiful
message to tell regarding rising of a child by a single parent, however the
weird twist and turn of events going alongside this message seems worthless.
The length of the story could have been shorter if those additional events
would have been little shorter, still the strong message could have been delivered
well. Indeed writer has put forward some beautiful thoughts.
2. Better Late than Never - By
Hitakshi Bawa
The story is very simple and
beautifully written. It is a well written love story of youngster with few nice
lines. The descriptions in the story are nicely done
3. Letting Go - By Aman Sharma
A heart warming story which will make
you realise and experience the pain of meeting your ex-lover after both have
moved on n their respective lives. The embarrassment, the silence, the
feelings, the wintriness which you experience on such a meeting has been portrayed
really well. The preeminent part of this story is how the writer has explained
the importance of "letting go" to move on in life.
4. 26/11, A Dark Twilight - By Nehali
Lalwani
A heart wrenching story expressing
the unimaginable pain of someone who has loss their loved ones in a terrorist
attack. The story is simple filled with human emotions for pain of losing loved
ones and lonesome life.
5. Life, A Vague Mystery! - By Khushi
Gupta
She is one of the writers who has dumbfounded
me. She is just an 11th standard student, who has written amazingly about the
feelings and thoughts of a neglected child in a broken home. The vocabulary is
flawless, the use of words is just right and the best part is ending of the
story. Good job done by the writer.
6. Shattered Tatters - By Ayush
Agarwal
A heart-rending story of a little boy
named Keshav who was living in jhuggis, writer makes it into a spellbinding fiction
of loss, social illness, thrill and a considerate ending. It is one of such
story, which leaves you absorbed in those feelings for hours together. A
special mention to the scene describing child abuse - only a writer with great
talent can pull off such a scene with such level of intensity.
7. Sometimes it's not simple - By
Neoni D'Souza
This story is an impressive tale
which keeps the reader engrossed, but fails at some places. The ending of the
story is very abrupt but with weak surroundings a little work on twist would
have left great impact on readers.
8. The Survivor - By Omung Goyal
An outrageous tale of a survivor of
the fateful Uttarakhand floods which created havoc in June 2013 taking lives of
thousands of people. The writer amazingly expresses the journey of survival of
the protagonist. The expressions of disaster survivor have been portrayed very
well and captivating. A little check of vocabulary and grammar would have added
wonders to the story.
9. 3 Sins - By Salli Shah
This story is very distressing as it articulate
the weaker side of a woman; story has a depressing end, and expressing a suicide
was the only option which in end makes you feel remorseful for a girl. A little
turn in story would have been better had the girl bounced back to the society
even after all hardships.
10. It all started with a key - By
Shrutee Parekh
An insensitive issue to write and handle
as elusive as AIDS. For an AIDS infected patient, life is a challenge each day.
The unadulterated love of a person is something which is very rarely found in
today's time though I agree love stands above all. Still it is an emotional
love story which seems like a fairy tale in today practical world.
11. It's never too Late - By Aman
Sharma
A story of a girl who at the top of
her profession decides to return to her childhood romance, even though the guy
once abandoned her after having physical intimacy long back, it is something unreasonable
in today’s modern times. After the reading the previous story of Aman Sharma,
the expectations were high but writer was unable to deliver the same in this
story.
12. A Lesson for Life! By Nehali
Lalwani
A pleasurable, optimistic and blessed
story with beautiful choice of words, pliable twist and turn of events, metaphors
and images that leave you spellbound, are the features of this story. In fact I
would like to mention that the story by writer portrays life in a very sturdy
form.
13. Un-destined Love By Salli Shah
The story seemed to have something
interesting to offer. The drawback of our society which is faced by many in today’s
household is very well described in the story. The story leaves you dishearten
towards the end when two people in love have to part ways owing to religious
differences.
14. You Amaze Me - By Ayush Agarwal
This is a magical story with good
theme line, the principle, turn of phrases, the turn of events; everything has
been portrayed in a beautiful way. A nice flow of writings, the hardest of
emotions described in a very delicate manner.
15. That Night @12 By Neoni D'Souza
It is a gripping story with a very well
thoughtful storyline. It is a moderate but high-quality story with positive and pure
beautiful soul. Nice selection of words with magical impact.
16. To be Hanged, Till Death - By
Omung Goyal
This story is an absorbing crime
thriller which ends up thrilling you more at the end. Though, the pace of the
narration seems little fast, this story where a boy is accused of murdering his
own parents. The story shows that humanity still exists in this world.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
The concepts of all stories are
really nice and absorbing. This is a great achievement by all
Authors for writing such a beautiful work of fiction all seems to be promising
writers of future. It is a commendable job done by Aman Sharma & Nehali
Lalwani for compiling this beautiful collection of stories.
Some suggestive points:
Overall the book is really good and very well
expressed. The only drawback what I feel is a proper editing of the book, book would have done wonders. I would like to once
again highlight the importance of grammatical errors, because it does spoil the
fun of reading and makes it samey.
Final words:
Overall if asked I would say...this
is a good work done by all Authors… I would give 3 stars to this book.
