About The Author:

Aniruddha Pathak, aged 20 (as on 2016), is a Computer Science student, and has been into writing since long. He is the founder of 'Litera Muse', which helps the authors and readers to unite under one roof. Apart from writing and studying, 

Aniruddha is a music lover, and likes to spend his time helping the people flourish in their lives and loves to inspire them. Being an introvert, he feels less comfortable to write about his life, and his readers have been his all-time inspiration. He writes about them, and feels to be a part of their lives, though a distant one. He believes in learning new things every day, and hence calls himself an all-time learner.

Book Blurb:

In this rapidly changing world, we come across many people around us. These people have many shades, some bright...some dark. They might want to let their feelings out, but they find it difficult to do so - and we term them different from the population. The diverse personalities sometimes make us wonder, what is hidden under their veil? They show a happy face, while hiding an agony beneath their expression. Some want to scream with happiness, but their voices are suppressed even before they could speak about it. 

Stand by the people who mention their sorrows, happiness, pains, agonies, and much more. You could relate to it, and find them talking to you. Peep into people's diaries, their midnight loneliness, find them doing weird stuffs, read their confessions, hear to the conversations that they hold with me, and see them either rise up touching the sky or fall down to the ground. 

The people. Their stories. One storyteller. 

My Review:

We all know that the sun doesn’t move, it is the earth that revolves round the sun. There are many such things which happen in our day to day life.  How if someone writes a book narrating those small little things? Good, no? Well this book, ‘Canvas of a Storyteller’ has 14 short stories that one teenage can easily relate to. Every chapter, every story has something or other to tell and the best part, between every story the Author himself has something to tell. Like me, a reader will feel as if the Author is not just telling the story but showing the reality that we face in our day to day life. Mr. Aniruddha did a Grandmomma here!

The first chapter, ‘No, It’s Not Okay’ is a story of a baby. Yes, a baby. We all love to be around new born babies, don’t we? But how many of you have thought about the baby’s feelings. Well the Author here just portrayed that. And trust me you will smile reading this story.

The second chapter, ‘Distant Dream’ is of a school going girl and her friendship. Full of emotions one can easily relate his own life with this story. We all have been in and out of friendship. Misunderstandings even break the best of friends.

As you read further you will many such stories, describing all might make this review a long one. So let me cut it short. My favorite of all the stories was, ‘The Resurrection’. This story might make you bit emotional. So get ready for some cries and tears.

One more thing I would like to include. There are two stories, ‘A Princess’s Diary’ and ‘A Princess’s Diary- Reprise’. Both the story speaks of Father-Daughter relationship; still both are complete opposite to each other. The Author must be admired for using the same words but writing two different stories.

Likings: Easy light read, Small Chapters, Way of Narration, Feels like as if you reading someone’s diary.

Disliking: Ummm…. Teenagers would love this book but this book won’t go pretty well if you are someone looking for intense read. Won’t work well among adults.

Overall: A Good Read.

P.S. I know the Author personally and I have read many of his writings. Was expecting more!

My Rating: 3.5/5

(A good worthy read if you are someone who belongs to the teenage group)
