Review:
From the butterflies you feel in your stomach when you fall in love to the spine chilling horror, this book has it all. Denials, acceptance, adventure, anger, humour, you will experience the different flavours when you read the nine (nava) rasa stories. A love story on kindle, a boy full of wonder, an adventurous and brave brother, an iron cored girl with goals, a loving Grandpa and a story around his tea estate, a haughty landlord, a taxi ride and a woman's struggle make up for a wide variety of reading.
The book introduces the navarasas or the nine emotions of a person and there is a story associated with each rasa. For each rasa, there is a short story for a few lines followed by a longer one. Most of the stories were unique and heart-warming. I really enjoyed the versatile perspective of the author. There were one or two stories that I did not enjoy. A few more corrections need to be done in terms of grammar and spelling. It was very interesting to see how each rasa was incorporated into the story. A few stories have unpredictable endings which I really liked. The cover page is attractive and well-designed. Overall, it is a quick read. If you love short stories, then you will surely enjoy this book.
Rating : 3.9/5
