Book Details

Where a story stops, another one begins. The thing with them is, they never walk alone. They always walk with a group of friends. Each reaches its climax. Then with a final gasp of mortality and despair, fade away. No, they never die; they multiply. To the extent that the original gets lost and new ones are born. Over and over again. Yes, they get lost. No, they never die. They live on, permanently etched in the book of time. And from there, we borrow them and bring them alive. Again. And again. Here are twenty-six of them, some standing alone and some chatting with their long-lost friends. When they depart, they leave a lingering fragrance of nostalgia and curiosity. What happened then? Twenty-six alphabets, twenty-six names, and twenty-six short stories. Each explores one unique emotion, taking you into the dark recess of the mind. Some are frothy, and most of them opaque. Most are standing alone, and some are facing a mirror, where the same story comes alive in two different ways through two other protagonists. Meet diverse characters - from the single-minded prostitute to the man on the railway's station br>Bereft of any memory; a woman desperate for a biological child to a dead man's trial. Meet a jealous lover with a twisted brain and a gay man's memory of a one-night encounter. Meet twenty-six such characters arrested and sentenced for life inside the pages of a book—each one leaving an indelible mark on your soul.

There are 26 characters in Rukhsat, each of whose names begin with a different letter of the alphabet. After reading one story, we switch to another. In another scenario, the same character appears to us at a different time and with a different name. You'll need to make the connections on your own with just a few stragglers here and there. The tales revolve around life and death, love and loss, and friendship and jealousy.One unique thing that I loved the most was the same story being told from 2 different perspective. It was like you are witnessing the same chain of events but with two narrations. beautiful writing of the author made me hear the characters and took me beyond the reality. It was totally a divine feeling. Beautifully written and immaculately expressed, each story is not more than 3 to 4 pages in length, offers a quick read yet carves a great impression on its reader’s mind and soul. The tales are short and crisp, and it’s really an art to express and convey so much in so less words. Some are interconnected and some standalone, the stories are intriguing and kept me glued till the end of each of them, yet at the end of each of it, I wanted more and flipped pages to read the next, next, and so on.
