Love? Story by Zeenath Zaveri in Crush 2 Published by Authors' Ink Publications

REVIEW:

What happens when all of a sudden you find that the person you love has actually played a game with you? This story is about three characters-Kiara, Karan and Sid. To know who tricked whom, read this story by Zeenath Zaveri.

Merits:
It is a simple story straight out of school life. It flows like a river--serene with a slow pace initially which suddenly changes its course flooding and damaging the nearby fields. The opening of the story is unique and quite catchy. Good efforts have been put by the writer in developing the characters of the story.

Lines I liked:
"Before life gets boring and hair starts greying, I need to date. I should find some excitement. How about having a boyfriend?"

Demerits:
The plot of the story is not new and  has been oft repeated in a couple of films. So it seems not more than an old wine in new bottle. Paragraphs are longer and the narration and conversation are off balance. A crispy and shorter version with powerful dialogues in between should have made it more interesting.
Yet, I can understand the compulsion of the writer--being the story of  teenagers and what more you can expect from these characters when they don't have much experience of life except having innocent crush and falling for the guys inadvertently.

Ratings: 3/5

I have noticed a unique style of writing in the story. Congratulations! Keep inventing. I'm sure about the story-telling ability of Zeenath Zaveri and wish her all the best in life and reading more mind- blowing stories from her.
