2 Peg ke Baad by Nikita Lalwani

A collection of 14 short stories. The name is itself says it all, but very tempting. Each story has something new to offer. Every story ends with a twist. It gives you a realization of LIFE. Each and every story teaches us something about life. Every emotion is beautifully crafted and represented by the author. I was moved after reading each story. I felt all the emotions which were felt by the persons in the stories. So you yourself can imagine how powerful and beautiful these stories can be. I would say Creativity at its best.
The vocabulary part is superb and you can see how beautifully the author paints the scenic nature in all the stories. The book has a gripping magic that starts right from the beginning. 
The first and last story in a collection of short stories, according to me, should be the best as they set the expectations. A Walk with a Call Girl and Car No. 88 (inspired by a true story) were the first and the last story and both of them were striking.
The different thing about this book is that stories are not written in a very conventional way. You never know when the climax pops and the rest of the story still goes in rhythm, since the use of dates and locations is done pretty intelligently.
The language of the novel is very attention gripping and simple to understand.
I love the cover page and name!

My rating : 3/5
