My Views:

                I loved all the characters especially Arun. From what I read it seems he is a very loving person, who loves his wife like anything and is witty at the same time. It was very emotional to read the letters but at the same time I am sure there would be a smile on the readers face. I was personally waiting for the next letter to arrive to see what the letter mentions.

I loved the writing style of the author and the flow of the story was also apt it was neither too fast nor too slow. The story is written in a lucid manner so there won’t be much difficulty for the readers.

The plot of the story is beautiful and I was literally waiting to know what is going to happen next. The sad part is since it was a short story it ended too quicklyL. I would have loved to read a full fledged novel.

Overall I loved the story and would surely recommend it to my friends and to people who are looking to read short stories. I can’t wait to read more books from the author.

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
