What are you reading Wednesday: Afsaane by Ameya Bondre
Afsaane by Ameya Bondre is his debut book consisting of eleven short stories with no common central theme. All the stories are varied in nature and engaging. I am at the fourth story and so far am loving this book!
Short, engaging and written in simple language with vivid narration, these stories make for quick entertainment. Perfect for short breaks, I love that I can read one story in mere minutes and then can return to real life feeling energized and thoroughly refreshed. This is the beauty of a well-written short story and I am getting this pleasure in Afsaane.

A sky-blue paper bird glued to a mirror. A handmade book on music to be gifted. A pair of mud-brown tea cups without handles. A shelf to hoard dying memories. A little home tucked away in a remote village. A haunting voice after boarding an empty bus… The images on the cover belong to people whose stories are packed in this book: A man who meets his lost friend in a new world. A seeker who resists everyone to reach an unwanted place. Lovers that separate, only to find some hope. A failed artist who finds another voice. A new entrant in a home who creates turmoil. A cheated girl who makes a desperate call. A shattered man who pegs on a sudden dreamy trip. With eleven stories of unrequited love, hope, acceptance, heart breaks or just needs, ‘Afsaane’ will tug at your heartstrings and open windows to people that experience unusual situations in far too usual lives.
