The past two months for me had been an overdose of sugar
coated love stories which had the same lyrics neatly and sometimes not so
neatly wrapped in different tunes. Not a
big fan of romantic novels, I had still stepped on reading these books. Now, I
wanted a break a big break!
This welcome break came in the form of Vishal Anand’s
Emotions Unplugged. A bunch of short
stories neatly strung is what I’d call it. While the stories shed light on some
of the common situations of today, it dealt with the same without being
overdramatic and loud.
The book has 15 short stories tied delicately with the strings
of emotions, each story displaying how emotions rule our lives. While most
stories did tug the strings of my heart, others did fall short. Nevertheless it was a great attempt by Vishal
Anand. The soul stirring stories were narrated in a lucid manner which actually
enhanced the effect of this light reading.
All in all, the book made for some light reading with every
story bringing a neat smile on the face as it ended. Good effort Vishal!
Ratings:
What’s hot: The description and emotions in some stories are
extremely well written and hence add that extra element to the story.
What’s not: Some
stories had loose plots which resulted in loose ends.
Final Verdict: If you want to do some light reading than
this is a book that will make you laugh, cry, giggle and smile.
