Book review - Oblivion Express : and other short stories

By -

Oblivion Express : and other short stories written by Amit Patil. Just as the title suggests, this book falls under the short stories genre.

The book has a simple yet versatile cover image. It is surely ample and matches with the title of this book.

If any book has a train-based title or story, I will opt for that book without any second thought. As doing so a few times it was a hit and sometimes it was a miss. Is this book 'Oblivion Express' hit or miss let us discuss the same in the upcoming review.




This is a book that has a total number of nineteen short stories under three parts namely Arrive, Thrive and Depart. The stories were mainly based on human emotions and also the three stages/tenses of life. These stories were mostly the same length of four to five pages long, but a few were a little more elaborate than that as well. This is a short book with a few more than hundreds of pages, so we can complete it in a day or two at maximum.  I liked almost all the stories presented in this book, but the one titled "Slipper" was my favorite. This is such a light and comfortable read, which will be a perfect evening brew read or a train journey read. This is such a cozy and heartwarming read for me.

 
Special mention, I also love how the author has provided the pages about 'The Story Behind the Stories' for the readers at the end of the book. So, in response to "Hit or Miss," this book is definitely a hit and an absolute yes.

Blog Post - How did my book-reading journey started

 H ow did my book-reading journey started When I was a little girl I used to see lots of regional books filled the entire shelf of my dad's room. He is very generous and will always allow me to touch those books but I was not allowed with the pen or pencil into that room. Of course due to some damage control preservation. Whenever I enter that room the old book presented in that room will give me a warm hug through its dedicated book smell. So whenever I entered that room I used to sniff those book's wonderful smell and will open those books and there I could find the coffee-stained color inner pages. When I go through those books I used to see the small classic old ads for Pond's Powder Tin, Colgate tooth powder, Hamam soap, etc.   The small tiny black letters, the yellow stained pages, and the pencil art inbetween the novels all were purely nostalgic to remember.  Since my 7th grade I started to read my regional novels and then when I hit 9th the public exam pre-coaching

INDIGO EARTH, the Golden, Satyuga, is very interesting and informative. What are the changes we expect to witness and How? Greetings. Indigo Earth is the Golden age. Mother Earth in its entirety is transiting into being the Indigo Earth. The changes are mentioned in the book. The answer to the ‘How’ makes it a guidebook. We all are an intrinsic part of this experience. The transition has begun. There are many who are like a guiding light, a light house, enabling others to transit. They are there. The transition is smooth sailing. 2. Spirituality, awakening, infinite consciousness, self-realization, nirvana are the terms which are associated with renunciation or sanyas. Is it true?  Hahaha…. It’s a lifestyle. Being in awareness of the self and living it is a lifestyle. We choose, to live a life of unconditional lov

Tales of Unstoppable Women written by Dr Urmi Thakker . The idea of creating such a book is really appreciatable. The cover looks very impressive and the images given inside the book too. About the book: This book is not a fiction or regular storybook. This book is a collection of short stories and that too not a fiction one its about the women who struggled but succeeded in their life and fulfilled their dreams. The book has the total number of seven stories and each story are about fifteen to twenty pages. The story covers the women and her life from different levels and how she fulfilled the dreams. There are pictures of those dream winners by the end of each story and three self reflection was asked to their readers. To know more about the story and these questions please do read the book. My review: The idea of creating these kinds of a book with the picture is very good and inspiring. The narration is really good and in detail. Everyone will struggle with one point and we ne
