I like short stories.
Authored by Mrs.Manjula Pal this book with a satirical title and artistic cover is a collection of total 8 short stories.
Priced at 195/- within 118 pages they are about different women who act contrastingly in similar situations. Human emotions are complex and actions taken differ from person to person.
The stories revolve around love , guilt , friendship , marriage , family life , age related gender bias , relationships along with one's life's choices in arenas of academics and career . Many a times in dilemma , few women compromise hugely due to societal pressure but again few stubbornly move forward caring about nothing.
Let me talk about two stories
My first love affair revolves around the dilemma of a woman who even after several years of arranged marriage quitting her job , remembers her first love. She still keeps those memories of how unrequited love felt and those sudden twists came in her early life , intact in her memories and in a diary .
But again in another story named - Who wants to marry a mamma 's boy tells the story of a boy who wants his partner to be house wife and not do a job but the girl doesnot care and walks forward in her career focused path showing prejudice and sexism.
Emotions of not only women but also men are shown focusing on how few gender differentiating cultural beliefs shape our lifestyle and that sometimes end in guilt . Narration is flawless , a light read and good starter for beginners. The plots are nothing extraordinary but realistic and revolve around relatable situations.
Rate : 3.8/5
