Title : A Good Life

Author : Zeyd Ladha

Publisher : Elira Publishing House

A Good Life, as the name suggests, has stories that make us think, reflect and ponder over. Some of the stories make us smile, some bring tears to our eyes and some leave a long lasting impact on our minds.

The stories that really touched my heart are

Madaari – It tells us how life controls us and how we can break free from its clutches. The story tells us that it is our perspective that decides how we live our lives.

Graveyard of Living – This story gives us hope and tells us not to give up on life. Our emotions, happiness, hope and faith are never dead. They are alive within us and we need to live with that faith.

Ripples – This story would connect to all of us as we all would have faced ripples in our life. The author reassures us that those ripples are just a phase and it will eventually settle down and make life much clearer 

The Paper Boat – This story talks about the concerns and worries of a parent who sees her child sailing towards new horizons. Using the analogy of a paper boat, the author explains how the children would come back to their base i.e., parents no matter how far they sail away from them.

And just when we think that the whole book is all about life and learning, Zeyd brings in some thrillers to entertain the reader. Every story in this section is a thriller that ensures that you are kept at the edge of your seat.

This book is meant for all age groups.
