That Rikshaw: Story by Monojit Dutta in Crush 2

REVIEW

In life we all have fond memories of sweet, lemon, sour and spicy experiences which continue to thrill us time and again throughout whole of our existence. Monojit Dutta has brought out such a story which will remind you your own fun loving memories and warm your heart taking back to your school days. Read the story to fulfill yourself with that strange sensation you would have felt sometime in your life.

Merits: The way Monojit has narrated the story in a good flow is excellent. It, I bet, will certainly take your present to your past and will oblige you to smile on remembering your own lighter moments you would have come across in your life some or the other time.

Lines I liked the most: "I don't eat something that is meant for someone else." " How long are you going to pretend of being a nice person?"

Demerits: The story starts with a chance meeting of a boy and a girl for hiring a rickshaw and sharing their tiffins. However the story runs in a linear fashion, it remains confined to the rickshaw and sharing the food only. Therefore, at times the reader feels monotonous. Repetition of any activity makes it redundant and to remove this flaw, the writer would have imagined and included a variety of different interesting lighter moments happening between the boy and the girl.

Ratings: 4/5
Overall, a good job by Monojit and I look forward more interesting stories from his pen. All the best!
