The story of the ordinary

 Story of the ordinary- Deepika Bhalla

Though the book is titled Story of the Ordinary but its not ordinary in any sense. The book comprises of three short stories but had subtle details of surrounding. But this is not what makes this book different and unique but blank illustrations that require coloring and identifying the vivid moods of characters. Books target audience is parents who would end up reading bed time stories that has nuances about our society and in a way we end up introducing our tiny torts to the world around.
This book is specifically meant for hyper active kids and my 5 year old absolutely loved it. Every alternate page has blank illustrations waiting for kids to intercept perceive and show there imagination. The illustrations are artistic rendition of the story and contains objects and articles briefed in the course of stories telling. The book is must have for Kids to explore the unexplored and try something new.

LOVE STORYWALLAH

 

Some book finds a permanent place in your bookshelf and undoubtedly” STORYWALLAH by Kumar Ganesan was one such book. The simplicity and rawness of Storywallah left me wanting for more and when I laid my eyes upon LOVE Storywallah I had to read it.  Ganesan is a writer who has made sure that the language of the book is simple and yet he leaves and everlasting impression. Chapter wise representation makes it super easy to read. Unlike the first book where the characters were influenced by Ganeshan’s character this book is a work of fiction but a thoroughly entertaining one. Ganesan has been eloquent in describing the love stories and all his stories have humor vitality and a connect with changing times.  Every story for me either represented a social value, a social stigma or a human behavior and it was cynically and humorously written. The odyssey on which Ganesan took the readers was enthralling and exuberating. Every story had wit and quirkiness and was serious when required. Kumar Ganesan’s work in Love STORYWALLLAH is humorous and breezy read that can give you a company over tea.

The book comprises of eight small chapter on love stories, some tragical some funny and some quirky but they all have one thing in common Kumar Ganesan’s humor. Out of all the stories I likes particularly three of them. Mehandi rang layi, ek ajib si prem kahani and lockdown love.

Read the book to get a different love vibe and specially these three books.
