About the Authors
While there are a few renowed writers like Paritosh Uttam,
Ahmed Faiyaz, Prateek Gupta in this book we also get to read new writers like
Kunal Dhabalia, Kainaz Motivala which is refreshingly good.
‘Me’ Thinks
The cover page is equally eye
catching making it impossible to miss it. 28 Urban tales by 13 writers as the
book cover says; these 13 writers have managed to do a wonderful job connecting
these stories spread across a plethora of emotions. The index has been very
beautifully done segregating the stories based on emotions.
Relationships –Love-Friendships-Angst-Longing
This book captures the true
essence of those urbanites Indians residing around us. It highlights the beauty
of different relationships like love and friendship. The stories range from
various emotions like longing, hurt, anger, love, hope, regret and acceptance.
It also brings out various issues that are a part of urban life like depression.
The stories are spanning across various age groups shedding light on their
mindsets. This book makes a very interesting reading as it is able to connect
to the reader with its lucid style of writing. The language is very simple and
easy to understand making it a light read. I wouldn’t be surprised if you
finish this in one reading.
Overall a book worth reading once
to have a peep at (maybe!!!) your own life through someone else’s eyes!!
