This is a story of a young boy, Karan Khanna who is dealing with his college life. As the narrative begins to unfold, he starts to transform as a person from a young, timid and a prude boy to a relentless, open-minded and tough 'man'. He has come home to his hometown Chandigarh, from Mumbai. But his vacation begins on a not so smooth note. He finds his uncle, an unabashed chronic drinker who has always been the pain to the whole family, to be attacked by a brain stroke. He takes him to a hospital along with his father. He is further haunted by a horrifying past which is responsible for him to hate this man, his very own paternal uncle. Can such a disturbing atmosphere filled with death, agony and pain turn you into an extremely positive person and change your perspective on life? No library descriptions found. |

My review:
A good and heartfelt story which talks about the basic human emotions no matter how the person is; the story also teaches a lesson that, never be judgmental nor take anyone for granted. The story in a sublime level talks about the importance of family and relations.

What I didn’t like:
There is nothing to dislike.
Characters:
Every character in the story mentioned and introduced has its own scope, space, importance and effect on the reader’s mind. Each character emotes the required emotion, which adds flavour to the story.
Narration:
This is the most surprising element in the book. It is a short book, but It is surprising that the author has managed to express and showcase a life-time journey of his uncle, and the narrator’s too. There is pain, love, romance, duty, embarrassment, grief, loss, surprise, happiness, gay and joy, forgiveness, vengeance and repentance. All these feelings are wonderfully crafted in the story. The story is narrated in the first person and also at places in a third person. The mix-and-match of such language constructs is appreciated.
Language & Grammar:
Simple and effective English language is used in the book. The story is error-free and the language quality used in appreciated.
My Final Verdict:
A short-story that reminds the sleeping human in one-self
