Uff Ye Emotions....

Collection of 12 Love Stories

Book Review

Love@Platform(Vinit K Bansal):

In a single sentence I can define it as a simple story with a twist at the end. I had been in Delhi for quite sometime and my basic mean of transport was metro, so for me creating a image of the story was quite easy. But frankly speaking as a reader first part of the story the scenes are hard to imagine, and it was quite obvious kind of story doesn't hold the interest of the reader. The verses on first two pages seems to be more poetic way of storytelling, and as I am going through Vinit's post from quite a few month I know he is really a good poet and shades of that poet can be seen, I loved it. The boy's description was as if author forgot to describe before and all of a sudden described in the middle(not happening); if it is intentional for a change then I don't think it will work this way, try to put in some other manner.

The second half of the story is really good, the way Vinit has described the emotions of both the characters shows the professionalism of his writing. He kept the story as simple as possible and that was the biggest positive of the story. The story touches the real life which you see now or then in your surrounding and there is chance that you may also have gone through those feeling of Love, which makes me remember this story for a long time. The ending was good but I am still not able to understand why should Meera go off from Karan's life. Want an answer.....

At last the most favorite part and totally agree with the author Love should always be without OWNERSHIP.

The Soulmate(Anjit Sharma):

 A Mohsin meeting Zara at a bus stop, there frequent visit made the Mohsin fell in love with the Zara and decides to visit her parents with the marriage proposal.... but there is twist waiting for him which is hard for him to believe..... even if Zara had told many things to him but some mysteries lies within her.....

Superb thought from An-jit, picked the latest happening and created a beautiful story around it. The start, the way how he introduced Mohsin was something I will appreciate, every writer have there own style and this is An-jit's style and he had improved a lot on his writing and story-telling. 

As once I reviewed his other story and I commented that the story was predictable, on this I won't say the same but yet I was able to predict the mystery before it was reviled and it is only because I know him personally very well(on some aspects), but as a reader it would be hard to predict it.

Only portion that lags the spark is when Mohsin visits Zara's house and his reactions till he propose to marry Zara...... 

But Overall good story which will held you to keep on reading.... and all of a sudden it ends and it gives you a feeling that you read only the first half of the story there should be more.... It gives me a mix feeling as I liked the story but it doesn't gave me the feel that it had the ending....

A Date with the Fate(Abhilash Ruhela)

In a single sentence: "A sweet, simple and lovingly story." The story is very common successful school love story as most of us gone through or have seen our friends going through it, but the essence is the way how ABHILASH has narrated the story. 

Never ever you feel a complexity in the story, the story travels with a ease, but one thing which I thought was missing was there was no situations(scenes) in the story which the reader will remember for a long time(to be an excellent writer always remember fill readers memories for a long time). But still I loved it at least for having a good ending. An appropriate story title.

I had not described much about the story because I want people to read and feel it coz "it is simple to describe but much more important to feel".

Reminiscence(Priyanka Dey)

"Some love remain unexpressed, even when both know the other person love's you and will love you like anything, still unable to behold each other and say 'I LOVE YOU'". This is the line from one of my story which is similar to this one. I was shocked at first that how two person can write as similar story but thank GOD the end is different, but still I can't publish my story now else Priyanka will su me.

As the story is similar to mine I will not comment on it. But I am happy about one thing that Priyanka is much better writer then me, the way she touches the human emotions, the portrayal of emotion is superb and I can see an excellent writer in her.

Love in the Times of Turbulence(Saurabh Arya)

A story well thought of, many of them would have went through but never would of thought of as a story to be penned down.

A story of two people preparing for UPSC Exam and come close to each other. The story is about how their love grows in between the high voltage preparations for exams and how they chooses their priorities and how they realize what is more prior to them.

Good attempt by Sourabh, but I don't feel the love till I reached the end of the story, it was simple ending but beautifully return.

And one more thing I didn't like the title, I know sometimes it is hard to find a good title, but title too holds the key when reader take up a book to read especially when it is a short story.

A Path of Throns(C Suresh)

This is one of the story which deals with maturity and psychological factors of human being and the only story which had an beautifully narrated love making scene.

The story is about Rohit and Shilpa who deals with an unusual situation in their life with the love they posses for each other. The start was unexpected but the end was an expected one. At the end story loses the grip, as there is no interesting scenarios, it goes as we think. But I want to appreciate Suresh sir for the narration of love making scene because it the toughest part to narrate it with such a beauty and soul.

In the story I will not go with Rohit's outburst that too in the first night and when he know Shilpa and all her past life. I think this reaction should have been after around 6 month of their marriage. And again as said to saurabh same goes to you sir I didn't like the title, especially when it is a short story.

Love Undefined(Pankaj Mittal & Rachna Sheth)

This was the story I wanted to finish in one go because it generated a curiosity what next, sometimes it look predictable and all of sudden it becomes unpredictable.

A guy searching for what the true love is, watches a couple daily in the platform, their love teaches him what he was searching for. Traveling means are the easiest way to narrate a story with some question marks, as Vinit sir, Anjit, Abhilash and Sourabh Pankaj also used it very nicely. The beautiful part of this poem was Rachna's Poem which were like icing in the cake.

Happy Ever After(Sanhita Baruha)

"Some stories end with no lose no gain, no love no pain...."

The story is about Diya and her love Rohit, how she get ditched, embarrassed, how she comes out of it, how her friends give her support, how Sagar falls in love with her, how Rohit comes back to her and over all of these how she handles everything in the end.

Sanhita wrote it in a simple way, but the story lacks the spark in some places, still Sanhita shows some promises to be good narrator.

The Intercity Express(Stephen Anthony K)

This is core love at first site story, once again another story with a traveling medium and again it is used in a different way and in this story plays the essence of the narration.

The story is about Meher and how he fells in love at first site with his Mehak, how he finds her, then Mehak fells in love with him and at the end they know the depth of their love. The best thing I liked about Stephen is the way he used the supporting characters Akansha and Tarun, he made their own space and as a reader I can remember all the characters of this story even Maurice Selvaraj. To make every character to live around readers mind is great thing a writer can achieve.

I Love You, I Love you too, But.... only as a Friend(Himanshu Chhabra)

"There are two sides of a coin of our life. One is 'Love' and other is 'Friendship'. From his side, it shows 'Friendship' but I promise, I will keep tossing this coin until it shows 'Love'."

This beautiful lines from Himanshu won my heart, his story narrates the school friendship and school romance of lil girl. The uniqueness of this story was the phrases and dialogue which he used in the story will remain for a long time.

The drawback of Himanshu's writing was that the emotions of the characters in the story was not connecting while we read the story.

And then... I fell in Love!(Drishti S Dasgupta)

The cutest story of the bunch. The story has a feminine touch to it.

The story is about a super model falling in love with an ordinary girl. The story is not that ordinary as it looks like but it has some twists and some beautiful moments and a few good lines which will make you smile at the end.
