IMPULSE

I had the good fortune of meeting a young and very much in love couple Radhika and Reekrit Serai, at a literary event. Reekrit's second book 'Impulse' was also being launched at the event. There was a talk by the author about the book during the same event. Reekrit was talking about his journey as an author; but what reached out to me during that conversation was his journey as a Person. I was carrying Reekrit's personality with me for quite sometime after that. However the hustle-bustle of life and its web caught up with my faculties.

As chance would have it, I bumped into Radhika and Reekrit again at a common friend's office. This was our first informal interaction and I felt even more drawn towards the couple. Reekrit wanted me to read his book and write about it. As a student of Human Behaviour, what more could I have asked for? I know(being a writer myself) that the best way to know a writer is to read his/her work. I jumped at the opportunity. The next thing I knew was, I had a copy of Reekrit's latest offering: Impulse in my hands!

I want to talk about Impulse. It is a collection of short stories and I have just read the first story. Let me tell you that by no measures does this story fall short on any account. In simple yet uninhibited words has the writer dealt with the intricacies of human relations. I was drawn to the thought and understanding that went into creating such a collage of emotions. 27 will definitely strike a chord with every reader.

As for myself I can say that I am looking forward to reading the next story: A short, sad love story........
