A reader from Hyderabad

Dangling Gandhi and other short stories, show a good glimpse of priorities and relationship amongst generations, and even across generations. The author has used her very keen sense of observation and vivid description to capture these interactions and emotions, in what may be very ordinary day-to-day interactions. 

These stories set in different geographical settings also provide a very good peek into the history and cultures of the times and places that these stories cover. Though the language is simple, the mixing of narratives keeps the reader having to think, beyond just reading.

The author has used her play with words, to refrain from directly describing the internal feelings of the characters, and let their actions display the underlying emotions.

Sanjay Churiwala, from Hyderabad, says - I rarely read fiction. I'm more of a writer of technical topics, which are fact/opinion-based. And, in reading, I usually prefer self-help, management styles, etc. So, my pref is more concrete and less dramatic.
