What I think

The title is super-catchy. The cover page is more attractive and will surely draw the attention of potential reader.

I came to know about this book more than a year before and it has been lying unread for almost a year now. However, I decided to read it and I was glued to it. All the writers are bloggers and their stories were selected through a contest. Incidentally, the theme is love and each story is different from one another yet connected with the common theme. I observed that most of the stories is closely linked to trains. Was that a part of the initial theme, I wonder!

The book is a compilation of eleven short stories. It begins with the editor’s story – Love @ Platform. The highlight of the book is that different aspects of love is dealt in each of these stories. When one talks about first love, one about heartbreak, matured love, obsessive love and so on.

The story that touched my heart is “Happily Ever After” by Sanhita Baruah. It is so real to ignore. It breaks all the clichés and takes a path less travelled by writers – Ye the path that is generally taken by life. The love, heartbreak and the decision to move on is brilliant and will be etched in reader’s heart.

Another story that is worth mentioning is “Love Undefined” by Pankaj Mittal & Rachna Sethi. This will move a stone heart also and will make the reader crave for such selfless love.

I am not going to talk about each and every story here. I want you to feel the emotions yourself. All I can say is that this book has some simple yet brilliant concepts which will leave a mark in you.

Should you read it?

It is nice time pass. Will not bore you.

So, why not read it?
