The Break Up by Vijayendra Haryal

If you have to appreciate the depth of this book don't go by the title but read it without bias for all stories ending in a depressing state... btw that's not the case for all. The author has penned down nicely short stories which though in length are short but leave a lasting impact and prompts one to think through. It also raises question on true love and that's what author tries to unearth in the final story. The story narration has depths which makes me think that author has narrated his experiences in life through the medium of this book. At some places though it felt that the story has been hushed up just to keep it short :). I would have liked the depth to flow seamlessly in all stories. The other good part is shortness of stories gives you flexibility to read and contemplate even if you dont have luxury of time. On certain occassions though I could not resist continue reading even when the stories end on negative note. It is like one carving for reading on pain more and more. In the 21 stories author has penned down one will surely associate with one or more if he/she happened to be in love anytime ;). The writing style is plain and clear and author does a good job of putting in the perspective of real life situations in love.
The poems are equally expressive and one does not need a dictionary or a high intellect to understand the meaning. I hope author continues his writing spirit and amass more fans like me :). Looking forward to his next book......
