My Review
The Hidden gems is an anthology in which fifteen short
stories are entrench in a book by various words preachers . Who will you a call hidden gem ? What it could
be ? Well actually hidden gem are great nestled
people around us who might do normal course of work but they are special because
they do things which one will find ‘ REGULAR ‘ but for them , that thing will be of great
value . Continuing to work what you love , thing which not only give you
happiness but you’re spreading happiness around .
Similarly , the book contain different stories which we see
around but we never tried to know the reason or we didn’t see how the people
are different from us . Each story reflects different shades of human personality
, how they react according to the
situation and how one can stay stable in any situation . In short , book is
guide how we can see the hidden gems around us , may be it’s our mother or our
teacher or may be we ourselves ?
Book
Cover –
The book was the most fascinating part of the book , no
other cover would justify the title and the content within . Good Choice !!!
Language
-
The language penned by the authors were simple and catchy .
There were many segments where I was carried away by the narration of the
stories . Truly Flabbergasted . Good Work Authors !!!
Most
Influential Stories –
1. Aunty by Anirban Nanda - Aunty , story about a virago female who worked
in a school with full dedication but was forced to leave because of rich class
people ( teacher ) who fabricated the situation . The story was very eye
pleasing . The story reflects dedication which one have towards it’s work ,
struggle of a poor woman and a daunting woman who tired to stand against the
evils around us , yet it also depicts how we ignore them .
2. Vows Conveyed by Hardik – Vows Conveyed,
a poem which a solider son wrote to his mother.
The son did return to her mother but wrapped in tricolor sheet. Beautifully
written!!! . It makes my eye moist!!
3.Asha , The Braveheart by Shreyan Laha - Story by Shreyan was the most heart warming
story . A story about a girl , who narrates her own story of struggle for
survival and how an army man helped her . Humanity exists beyond the duty . The
best part I loved about this story was it’s narration . Author has kept the
language simple but his narration pour the magic in the story . Awesome story read
so far . Great Job !!!
Negative Punches –
Every story was unique in it’s
own way but they could have been written more carefully and with more hard work
. A little bit editing was needed , I felt somewhere while going through
stories .
Overall Rating –
I would like to rate this
packet of gems 3/5 . A good read book . I would love to read more from the
contributing authors .
