Dark stuff. I think I’m attracting some dark stuff of late. The last story I read was a dark one as well. Anyway, this story has a child as the narrator. He’s ill, in Simla. It starts with his friend standing next to him, worried that he’d get well soon, and subsequently, would leave for Delhi. The story slowly evolves into something way more serious than that.
More than the storyline, it is about the feelings, the doubts, the confusion, the connection… about relationships—about how we humans deal with what we deal with. That way, it’s a nice, candid piece of work. It is about how a child what he sees, through his eyes of innocence.
To us adults, it is also about what’s important in relationships. About what drives relationships. And what destroys them.
Go ahead and read the story for yourself to find out what exactly it is. Also, join us in the journey of reading one book a day. You could even send us short stories or just their names, to review!
Go ahead, grab yourself a copy of Our Favourite Indian Stories and tell us what you think about the book! If you are a Kindle person, ensure to select the Kindle edition of the book.
Looking to buy a Kindle?
The frontlit, high-resolution Kindle Paperwhite seems to be the officially preferred Kindle at Meraki Post; Veena, Gazala and Ram have one each. And while Pooja may claim she is more of the “Love the new book smell” kind of person, she may be secretly deciding between the premium Kindle Oasis and the simple and efficient Good Ol’ Kindle.
