My Review:

I won this book in a bookstragram Giveaway. This short book of 135 pages is an anthology of seven short stories of love and romance.

I don’t wanna go in detail of every story because that is already available on goodreads and other sites. What I wanna tell you is that this book is a perfect concoction of contemporary romance, modern thought process and ancient traditions though simple. It tells us that love can knock our door at anytime and we got to be ready for it rather than staying and contemplating and recontemplating our past. And always be ready for second chances, and that our one bad experience with love cannot define the institution itself. It again tells us that love through arrange marriages can still happen. And that some people come in our life to just teach us some life lessons and disappear and it’s on us to not hold on the them but move forward in life. To value those things most that we have with us rather than thinking of those that we don’t have. And that these feelings of love are immeasurable. So get on with this book, and believe that love can knock at your door, maybe it’s taking its time, maybe it’s got stuck in a traffic like Godot, but it will definitely find it’s way to you. Be hopeful and keep loving. And Unleash that river of emotions that you have held back so long.

It is quite a nice, light and short book and a one-day read. If you love Indie short stories and enjoy reading romantic books, then this book is for you. I enjoyed this book. It was after a long time that I read an Indian author and I kinda loved the stories, obviously because there was an Indian touch to it. All the stories are simple yet beautifully put with a unique concept but portraying one single theme I.e. Love. All these stories will make you believe that flower of love can bloom even at unusual of places with people that we never thought could be possible to live with or love. How love is powerful enough to change your mindset and your life for good or further good but never bad.

This book is perfect for the readers of Ravinder Singh and Durjoy Dutta. Or anyone who likes to read short stories.
