Walks through Life
Author: Santhosh K Komaraju
Pages: 198

            


              ‘Walks through Life’ by Santhosh K. Komaraju is a collection of 10 stories. Each story is written in such a manner that the readers will actually think about how to lead their life. Each story has its own uniqueness and as the readers finish off with the story they would surely be left with a moral. Each story has its own protagonist and they are going through their life be it the story of cunning businessman or the story of butcher each story will make the readers ponder.
                I liked the writing style of the author it has a uniqueness to it. The flow of the writing is such that the readers will actually enjoy the book.
                The book is written in a simple and lucid language which the readers will find easy to go through the book. The pace of the story is also apt which makes the story even more interesting.
                All the characters are well developed. Normally in short stories we can’t connect to the characters that much but here we get to see all the emotions of the characters and how they are going through their life’s.
                The plot of the stories is very different. The author has made an effort to write story in a different genre which again readers won’t get to see in many books. The narration is also very good in all the stories.
                Overall I would say that this a book which everybody should read devoid of his/her age. Everyone has something or the else to take from this book.
My Rating: 5/5

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...
