Review: THE LUTERON KA TEELA

THE LUTERON KA TEELA by Ravi Ranjan Goswami
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a small story about a bandit in the Chambal. the story is good and author's writing style is also good.

Kailash Pandey, a bandit, abducts a bunch of people who were returning from a marriage. the bandits leave the bride but abduct the groom, his father and few more people and demand ransom. meanwhile, Kailash Pandey has an old clipping of a newspaper which contains details about his grandfather and he asks one of the captives, who was a Teacher, to read it for him as it was in English and he was not able to read it. After knowing about his Grandfather he becomes restive. and the story takes an unexpected turn.

I would like to see more books on this subject from the author.

this is a beautiful story and I rate it 5/5.

Review: Bayaan-e-Shikhar

Bayaan-e-Shikhar by Shikhar Balwani
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a good collection of Hindi/Urdu (also typed using Roman Script so if you can't read Hindi letters you can read it in Romans) poems by the poet Shikhar Balwani. He has written the poems on some very general topics - Love and Separation, Society, Relationships, Friendship, and Loneliness.

I found the section on Love & Separation quite Good and this section has some really good "Shers" or couplets. look at the following -

Tere Intezar mei Din Raat me tabdeel ho geya,
Ab tou aaja ki dil bahlane ko meri Parchai bhee na rahi |

It was really romantic !!!!

While Talking about Society he says -

Bada Badnaseeb sa Lagta Hai ye shehar,
ghar to chote the hee, Dil Bhi Chote ho gaye hain.

Its really true about the big cities where people live in apartments and do not know and do not want to know who their neighbour is.

I liked the other parts of the book as well where he talks about relationships, friendship and loneliness.

I found the couplets or Shers original. I liked them a lot and rate this book 5/5.
