Canvas of Life
Author: Rabjot Singh Isher
Pages: 180



                ‘Canvas of Life’ by Rabjot Singh Isher is a collection of 8 short stories all based on human psychology, spirituality and science. Each story is unique and will surely leave an imprint on the readers mind.  While reading the book I actually got to know how humans thinking work like in the first story ‘The Asylum’ there’s this conversation going about a street artist and how he loves what he does and when the protagonist of the story asks him he replies saying that music is a passion but then people call him crazy. We get to experience this in real life too people give tags to people without thinking too much just because some people don’t go through the flow of the other people like in this story which is so true. Then this other story ‘Two sides of coin’ where we get to see the story of Anvita and Vyom which shows us what true love actually is and how love can conquer every obstacle. Each story is written beautifully and some will even make them ponder about human psychology, spirituality and science. To know more read Canvas of Life.

My Thoughts:

This is the second book that I am reading from this author. I enjoyed reading the first one too. His books are actually written in such a manner that they will make the readers think and question about how people think and psychologically how we work. The plot for each story is written beautifully and each story will give something different to the readers.

Some of my Favourite stories are:

·         The Asylum
·         The Confluence
·         Two Sides of The Coin

The characters are well developed and relatable. The dialogues/conversations are written in such a manner that one would feel that we are actually a part of the conversation. Each character has been given a back story which makes them more close to the readers and we can connect easily to them.

The language is simple and lucid which makes it easy for the readers to go through the book.

The cover of the book is done beautifully and is very much related to the title and the content of the book.

Overall, I liked reading the book and would surely recommend it to all.

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...
