Since I too write short stories in English, I got interested in reading the Book : Neela Akash . Book has been penned down by Author from Mumbai . : Devv Chandra , who did M Com in Finance . He has a passion of writing in Hindi . 

Book has 5 short stories . I could complete the 100 pages book in 2 sittings . 

One story : Safar is of 4 pages . Another is of 9 pages . Story number 5 is of 13 pages . Other 2 stories are of more than 30 pages . One common characterstic of all the stories is that they are tragic . I hope when the Author writes again , he writes a few stories of different genre too .

Review of Book :Samvednayein by Dr Avinish Singhal

I got the chance to read this book on poetry while in a Library in USA . 

Book has been penned down by an Author from Chaatisgarh ,   who is a Doctor too having varied interest in different fields of life like social service , carrom board , volleyball .

Book is written in Hindi & has 77 poems . Some of the poems are penned down in 3 pages , and a few of them even in 2 lines .

I liked his small poems penned down between 2 & 5 lines .

The poems convey the emotions of 48 year old author who has penned down his first book like me .

In the preface of the Book , the Author has used the word ‘ Havan ‘ in the context of gratitude to the persons who helped him in penning this book of 83 pages .

Poems I liked :

1 Poem number 75 : named Kala .( 2 liner )  This aptly expresses the attitude of the poet .

2 Poem number 12 : Junoon ( 6 liner ) . It describes the feelings of poet why he wrote this book .
