Revelation: A story by Apurva Joshi & Arya Dikhole in Crush 2

REVIEW

Two people having crush on each other happen to meet at an alumni get together after long gap of twenty years. What transpires between them? How they react when they see eye-to-eye? To know, read the story; Revelation in Crush 2 published by Author's Ink Publication, Rohtak.

Merits: The story moves in a smooth way describing Eshaah and Aman remembering their school days' nostalgic moments. The hesitation on both sides had kept them apart during their teenage, which is as natural as today and has been narrated in the same natural way.

Lines I liked: "When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone."

Demerits: Sentence formation is a bit repulsive and there's a tremendous scope for improvement. The sequence of conversation has faltered like : even after listening that she lives in Silvasa with her kids, he asks her whether she's married. Most of the narration is in past tense but at some places it changes into present tense at page number 75 with reference to: 'I say' at two places. The writers should have adopted one style; either past or present.

The efforts taken by my young fellow authors are praiseworthy. Certainly, they will improve as the time will pass and I look forward more stories from their pen. Best wishes for both of you.

Ratings: 3/5
