Different Beads of the Same String : A collection of Short Stories by Sujay Malik
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb -

A delightful collection of stories spanning the past, the present and the future, ranging from villages to cities, from the mundane to the extraordinary, from external events and societal norms to internal conflicts, confrontations and catharses of characters, Different Beads of the Same String promises an interesting journey set in contemporary Indian society.


My views -

The religions, superstitious, non-guidance, Improper governance, genuine love, feeling of necessity towards truth, Awakening the thoughts, Racism are the different beads of the same deads.

The novel consisting of 10 stories which are interlinked with the social messages and social happenings where some exposed and talked out and where some still left non spoken.

My personal favorites are 'He,' Pluto and the Inomplete Solar system which tolds the story of a lieutenant soldier who lost his life for country and his geninune past love. Also, I liked the story "The Boy Who Uttered 'That' Word" which is about a 6th grade boy who Uttered a word 'Shit' quiet audible to everyone during class and how his teacher plays card to awakens the kid's thoughts.

Apart from my favorites all of them were good no grammatic errors or any other interruptions novel goes so lucidly with easy language and controlled narration. I liked the way author holds the social responsibility from his debut novel.

I would also recommend this to read by everyone for realizing the truths which we knowingly refusing to talk and to appreciate for someone initiated it.
