- Book Type:
- Description: वरुण ग्रोवर की जादुई भाषा ने कई युवाओं को प्रभावित किया है। इस किताब की मदद से कोई भी अपने प्रशंसकों की सूची में बच्चों को भी शामिल कर सकता है। सात कहानियाँ. रहस्य, रोमांच, आश्चर्य और सपने- उनकी भाषा सभी शैलियों में समान जादुई गुणवत्ता बरकरार रखती है। कभी-कभी, वह इतना कम लिखते हैं कि ऐसा लगता है कि विचार भाषा की नोक तक पहुँच गए हैं। फिर किसी और चीज़ के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है. वह कहानी को इस तरह से कहते हैं कि ऐसा लगता है कि वह दर्शकों के साथ एक हो गए हैं। इसलिए, आप खुद को एक पाठक की संगति में पाते रहते हैं। घटनाओं और लोगों के बारे में उनका वर्णन एक बार भी आलोचनात्मक नहीं बनता। यह एक अविश्वसनीय उपलब्धि है. वह तो बस हमारी जिज्ञासाओं को पोषित करता रहता है। वह पाठक को अचानक किसी रहस्य से रूबरू कराने के लिए रहस्य पैदा नहीं करता। इसके बजाय, वह रहस्य को उजागर होने देता है, जिससे कहानी को आगे बढ़ने के लिए जगह मिलती है। चंद्रमोहन कुलकर्णी के चित्र पाठक के अनुभव को समृद्ध करते हैं। वरुण ग्रोवर ने लंदन मैगजीन से पेपर चोर के बारे में बात की।
