Theme

The book contains as collaboration of 26 short stories which demonstrates the more social issues which coerce within the country India. Each of the 26 stories starts with the alphabets in English symbolises a specific moral and social issue. One specific thing I liked from the author Smita Pal's work is that each of the 26 stories has life in it one can visually experience what the characters are trying to imply and mean with their actions and word and their feelings is been picturised well.

Language and Narration

The language used in the book is simple and easy to all readers to understand and the narration of the stories match perfectly to blend with what the author is trying to imply in her mind

What I Liked and Disliked
All the stories within the book relate to things something which we all are aware is happening bad but it does take a lot of guts to speak about it and to a certain extend stand against the ill treatment done. All the stories have a meaning to it and has resistances to social changes in India. The protagonist in each of the story is depicts a sadden truth about the society which we are currently living in.
