Book Review : Urban Shots, Love Life and all that Jazz

I had bought this set of 3 books from India Plaza, ie  Another Chance, Urban Shots  and Love Life and All that Jazz. Have written about Another Chance  in the blog earlier.
As of Urban shots, its a collection of short stories from Indian Authors. They are grouped based on types of stories, but I can sure be saying that this book is really good. I cannot all the stories are great, but majority of them are. Right from the comfort of having a pet to change one's life to that of changing the habits of a husband by an uneducated woman. Its all there in the book. Though the standard of english and the high one gets by reading Jeffrey Archer can't be achieved from this book, but one can connect to these stories and probably use them in your life too, since these are primarily Urban Shots. 
If you read books and need something for a light reading, then just go for this one.


The other book, ie Love Life and all that Jazz, is a story of friends, all from different backgrounds, lifestyles and financially different leagues. Each one having their own priority in life and own set of problems. Probably like the 3 friends in 3 Idiots or Dil Chahta hain.  Each one having their own love story and issues related to them and also their parallel work life and careers. Very well written book and it just takes you to your college days or your early working life, where one does face different challenges in life, right from work to new place and finances.  This book would help you to take those strong steps incase and decide whats the important decision to be taken at the right point of life, and whats the cost of not doing it. I would definitely ask you to go for this book. Probably can finish it off in a couple of days.

Another Chance

Well, Another Chance is not something to do with me. Its the latest book that I just finished reading yesterday night. I would say that this new Author, Ahmed Faiyaz is very good in writing. I ordered the set of 3 books by this author and supposedly to be signed by the author on all 3. I got only on 2 . Good reason for me to sue them :).

Well, I am not really keen on writing a review for this book. But I must say its a well written love story, and worth a read. There are instances in the book which make you value the relations you have.

Another book from this collection is that of short stories. I have just finished 4 of them. But I must say they are different and very well written. Not all stories are of this author but more of an aggregation from different authors. The first story of the puppy was very nice and touching. I would definitely recommend this book.. Hey did I tell the name of this book ?.. Its URBAN SHOTS.

Yet to start on the 3rd book though.
