Book Review - Nine On Nine by Nandita C Puri

 

Nine Stories...Nine Women ... that is  Nine On Nine for you.




Written by Nandita C Puri, this book is a collection of women centric stories with some deep emotions etched in them.

I have always been a Short Story person and that's why I picked up this book.

Simple reads and considerably fine stories with decent plot.

However, I did feel some gloom and dullness while I read few stories. But on the whole, definitely readable.

  " The Nation has a right to know and we have a duty to tell how our Captains of War keep vigil over the borders of India around the clock and sacrifice their lives so that the Nation lives" Book Title -  Battles of Dograi - 1965 - Dare Devilry of 3 Jat BN Written by - Dr. Virendra Verma This 74 pages book is a power packed account of one of the hard-fought war fought by India - The war of 1965. Very effective narration and story telling. I felt as if I was right there in the war field watching it live. It has all the minute and first hand details of the war. No nonsense and just absolute facts. Read this book to know what a soldier goes through during the war, how a soldier prepares for the war and how does it feel to be there in the war-field. This book also has take-away on the leadership qualities, the importance of discipline and keeping oneself fit and the importance of physical training. Mentions of some of the Heros from the Battle of Dograi: Lt. Col Desmond Hayde Su

  Book - Daastan-e Tawareekh Written By - Damodarlal Garg Dastaan-E-Tawareekh is a collection of 21 short stories and anecdotes from Indian History. Its written in Hindi and talks about some undisclosed aspects from history wrt the culture, some unique traditions that once prevailed in India and the neighbouring countries. The stories capture the rise and fall of kingdoms, human emotions like love,lust, jealousy and competition.
