Hey iQOO Fans,

I am sure a lot of you guys are bookworms, because I get the most pleasure from reading books.

Thus, I would like to share some Hindi book recommendations with you all on this day of HINDI DIWAS.

Providing a succinct overview.

Namak Swadanusar by Nikhil Sachan

Nikhil Sachan is an expert in writing stories, and he is about to release a novel. Now let's talk about Namak Swaad Anusar. The author says that the stories of this book have come to mind in the same way as fever comes to the body. This seems to be true because all the stories are completely different, which readers like me will get to read for the first time. 

I found the first two stories very interesting. After 'Parwaaz' and 'Hero', the third story is 'Mughalte'. This is probably one of the most famous stories of this book, written by Nikhil Sachan. When I read it for the first time, I liked it but also felt a little strange because I had read such a story for the first time. This is the story of a brothel, which the author has presented in a very brilliant way.

84 Chaurasi by Satya Vyaas

This novel named 'Chaurasi' is a love story influenced by the 1984 Sikh riots. This story is about the protagonist Rishi himself becoming a rioter while saving a Sikh family from the riots. This is the story of the victory of human values over inhuman values. This is the story of love surviving even in breaking circumstances.

YAAR JADUGAR by Niloptal Mrinal

The book is such that it keeps you hooked from beginning to end; even if you have to close it, it remains open in your mind. There is curiosity about what will happen next. After a long time, I read the whole book in one day, Yaar Jadugar by Niloptal Mrinal.

Yaar Jadugar is the story of characters living in villages and towns, the story of the system, the story of the essence of life. In essence, it is a complete package, from satire on social systems to the spirituality of life. Its characters make you laugh, but their satirical style also hits the present. Like a serial, scenes get created in the mind, and like an episode, the interest increases with the turning of pages. The most interesting is the author's comment describing the mood of the characters after their dialogues.

October Junction by Divya Prakash Dubey

October Junction is Divya Prakash Dubey's novel in Hindi. The narrative revolves around Chitra and Sudip, a couple who get together in Banaras on October 10th of each year. They are close in a unique way that defies description, but they are not lovers, friends, or married.

The nature of relationships, love, and time itself are all explored in the book. Long after you have finished reading it, you will continue to think about and be moved by this poignant tale.

Chalta Firta Pret by Manav Kaul

'Chalta Phirta Pret’ is a collection of stories by actor and writer Manav Kaul. It is interesting that the writer presents his loneliness and sadness in these stories like a string of soliloquies. The process of walking alone for a long distance, silently without speaking to anyone, in which depression becomes a deeper depression. Trying to collect a lot of things left behind in the space between silence and speaking something... holding a frame in such a way that the end of the other frame also creates the illusion of being in hand. This situation can be seen at one place in the story ‘Blue Raincoat’: ‘I wanted to write a novel, but that did not happen, and then...’ I became silent. ‘Writing is nails, fingers, or for some it is the whole hand. That’s it! Living is the whole body, don’t forget that, but I feel that what I am living is not living, I am writing it.’ Obviously, these stories are not in a hurry to reach anywhere. They are not even interested in knowing its result after reaching their end. Is it some unknown fear or curiosity... can't say, but the inner mind of the storyteller is unravelling something like a spider's web around him. A feeling of surprise to sit near death and look at all his past with sadness. The hint of every story somehow finds solace in erasing the end. Be it 'horse', 'father or son', these images of meaning created in language can be seen everywhere. This situation should be captured in the story 'Father and Son: 'I can't sleep inside, so I come out, and as soon as I come out, I feel why I have come here. What is inside is the same outside. There is no difference. There, the crawling of time is heard and here time is spread out and is visible. Inside, I stare at the walls and here at the pieces of light lying on the ground.'

Musafir Cafe by Divya Prakash Dubey

The narrative of Sudha and Chander, two individuals who could not be more dissimilar, is told in Musafir Café. Their parents arrange for them to meet in a married environment. However, Sudha is opposed to marriage because, in her experience as a divorce attorney, many marriages end in divorce. Software engineer Chander concurs with her observations. They begin living together and eventually become romantically attracted to one another. If Sudha's intransigence had not stood in the way, they would even be married. However, that is not how the world operates. And the paths of Chander and Sudha diverge. Will they be able to reconnect with one another? Or will the outside world interfere?

I had said that Sudha's intransigence prevented them from being together. But the thing about her that I admire the most is this. She never, ever gives in to pressure to please someone. And that requires a great deal of bravery and self-reliance. Even though I know it is not a smart thing to always be, I wish I could be like her. She has certain traits, of course, that I did not like, the main one being that she frequently treats Chander with contempt. One thing is certain: Chander will always say something entirely different after she finishes speaking. Chander is never going to prevail. It really is not fair.

PS: Although I have not read Yaar Jaduagr or 84 Chaurasi, I have copied their synopses from the Internet.

I hope you enjoyed this article.
