By now all of you who read my blog/s would be aware I am
sucker for love stories. Hence when this one came out I had to grab it
undoubtedly the added attraction being my fellow bloggers being there in the
author’s list.
Love stories somehow make me feel all mushy mushy however
sad ending they have. I love reading them purely to witness the beauty and
magic of love in its full grandeur and believe me this book did not disappoint
me. It has stories one beautiful than the other making it one mega epic to
read.

Me thinks
Love like they say is perhaps the most beautiful
expression in this world. Its beauty lies in the pure emotion behind it. But
off late with the changing times, the definition and meaning of love have also
changed drastically. Uff ye emotions
articulates the various definitions of love very beautifully through different
stories representing variety of moods. Ranging from death of a loved one, to a
rape victim trying to find herself back this book has each and every form of
love one could envisage and portray in the form of words. These stories do
touch your heart, tug it and leave you feeling nostalgic as your mind wanders
back to the time when you had experienced love first.
I bought this book as I saw some very familiar fellow
bloggers names in the authors’ list, some known, some unknown but definitely a
part of this blogosphere. I had very huge expectations coming from some of them
whom I read very regularly. If I had to choose my favourites out of all of
these they would undoubtedly be:
Reminiscences
– Priyanka Dey
A love story
amidst a lot of pain and tears makes you feel is love really beautiful.
A path of
thorns – C Suresh
A rape
victim in search of love – will she be successful or not?
Love undefined
- Pankaj Mittal and Rachna Seth
Love is the
most powerful thing on this earth, but is it calamity/ fire/ accident
proof?
Firstly and
fore mostly a Hinglish title was a tad disappointing as I kind of detest this
mixing of two languages. I feel it snatches away the beauty of both leaving
only ugliness for the reader to read. Secondly there are too many typos and
grammatical errors which make you feel like not reading it any further. The 3
stories mentioned above are by far the best ones which are devoid of such
errors and hence are an enjoyable read. It’s truly disheartening to read such
wonderfully written love stories with so many errors as it takes away the
magic.
Over all as
per the content, it’s a very interesting collection of love stories but for the
typos and grammatical errors. I would definitely cherish it for the names of my
friends which I see in print for the first time.
