Amori Amurpiki



Title:- Amori Amorpiki
Author:- Romeo Almeida
Publication date :-2005

Hiii guy's!! Here I am with another review on a short story book which is written by a well known writer.
There are all together 40 stories in this book. By now you'll must have understood that short story books are my most favourite.
In this book he has written down about his life, the incidents that took place in his life, about his childhood.
Now in this book some of the stories he has expressed his views on the thinkings of human being in a really good way through his writings. He has tried very hard to reach out to every reader through his stories from this book.
He writes stories in such a way that the reader itself feels that he/she is somewhere related to that story and that is why I liked this book.

I would rate this book 3/5.

Malab zep



Title:- Malab zep
Author:- Maya Anil Kharangate
Publication date:-2006

I am here again with my another review on a short story book written by a great writer, actually i should say an all rounder-Maya Anil Kharangate!

For past many years she has been writing many short story books, poems and many more.
She has also conducted many programmes on 'Radio' and 'Doordhashan'.

Her every short story book has a realistic setting and all of them are very inspiring.
This book carries all together 15 stories. Most of the stories are written from a mother's perspective and some are related to teens. If you read this book then I am sure that you'll surely change your views when it comes to mother. After reading this book I some how felt connected to it. If you start reading these stories then you'll feel the exicitement to read all the remaining one. I feel that all the teen's must read this short story book atleast for once.

My rating for this book would be 3/5.

Goter




Title:- Goter
Author:- Maya Anil Kharangate
Publication date:- 2006

Hello everyone!!!
So here I am with my review on another book named 'Goter'. This book is also a collection of short stories. All together this book carries 15 stories in it. Maya Anil Kharangate has written many short story books, poems, novels, etc. She's the only lady writer whose writtings I love the most.
All the stories from this book are so well executed by the author that while reading these stories you will feel as if you are a part of that story.
Almost all the stories are written on women, the pain they go through, the problems they have to face while living in a society and many more. Through these stories the writer wants to convey a lot many things to us. If you just start reading the first story, you won't feel like closing the book without completing all the other stories. There's one story named 'chavar' which I liked the most because in this story a lady is being betrayed by her in law's and the neighbours as she can't give birth to a child because of her medical problems. But still she makes her mind and fights against all her family members and starts teaching small children from her village under a tree. And at last she finally gets support from her family members and the neighbours, helping her to build a new school.

My rating for this book would be 4/5.

One day as they were walking down through a squishy path of coconut plantation this little girl saw a flower which exactly looked like a star. She forced her mother to get her those flowers. She questioned her mother if people like these flowers or not. If yes than can i sell those flowers in the market she asked. Reasoning it for a while her mother agrees to her and the little girl was very happy thinking that after selling those flowers, she will buy a pair of earings from the money she has earned.
But the next morning as she goes to pluck those flowers she gets a shock to see a man chopping down all the plants of kandalam flowers. She feels very sad, closes her eyes, starts crying and turns her back and walks away.

Sapanmogi

Title:-SAPANMOGI
Author:-Damodar Mauzo
Publication date:-1 August 2014

So here I am with my first post on my favourite book!
Sapanmogi is a short story book which is written by a great novelist, short story writer, critic and script writer in konkani language. There are all together 9 stories in this book. Some of the stories are very funny to read. They are so good that you just feel like reading it again and again.
His writing style is so simple that even if you are reading a book for the first time, you won't get bored. While reading the stories you'll find romance, some twist and turns and also thrilling suspense which will take you into a different world, and you won't even feel like closing the book without reading all the stories.
All the stories are very interesting but the one which i loved the most is the 'Vevhaar'. In this story, an entire life of the poor girl is shown who also has a boyfriend. She wanted to marry him because of his wealth. At the end she cheats on him and kills him by pushing him down from the terrace. And at last gets married to her boyfriend's elder brother.
I feel that this is a good book for children of age starting from 14 and above.

My rating for this book would be 5/5.
