Star Crossed : Story by Akash Rumade in Crush 2 Published by Authors' Ink Publication

REVIEW:

Sometimes when somebody wants to correct us, we take it otherwise. But after years are gone, when we realize that the person was right in correcting our wrongdoings, selflessly, we repent and develop a respect and liking for her/him. This is an excellent story you must read to know more written by Akash Rumade.

Merits: The story is successfully told in present and the past in flashbacks. The mistakes made by the boy, Karan, his brazenness, the girl's rebukes and her bold steps to correct him, all have been narrated in the author's unique style. You'll love it.

Lines I liked:

"Yet again, he lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling like some artist mulling over a blank canvas."

New words I learnt: Solipsistic, Maquillage

Demerits: The subject of this story is different from the theme of the book and people having a penchant for romantic love stories, crush, hard and soft feelings and emotions etc.will find it dry and may turn the pages.


Ratings: 3.5/5
Akash, I congratulate you  to put down such a hard-hitting fable fabulously comprising repentance and introspection by the protagonist in your unique style. Keep it up!
I wish you all the best and would love to read more from your desk.
