A Delightful Collection of Short Stories

"Life Over Two Beers and Other Stories" is a delightful collection of short stories that takes you on an entertaining and surprising ride through an India you thought you knew. The author's use of sarcasm to comment on society's values is quite clever and adds a unique flavor to the stories. The narration is engaging and the stories revolve around daily life in India. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys short stories and is interested in Indian culture.

The one feedback is the ending and starting new stories should be better in narration, its confusing some times.

Unique

Definitely, interesting and a sattire chiefly on the part of Delhi life that we label sophisiticated. It was a new experience, unlike Indian fiction writers usually writing novels in lines of either Chetan Bhagat or Amish Tripathi. Would like to read or hear more such stories...But, why isn't there a small pause between two stories or poems?!

Interesting stories

Loved the stories. We sh there was a definite gap between the stories.. it takes a moment to realise that one is over and a new one has started

Pretty average, some stories are good though

The narrator does a good job with voice modulation & accent. Stories, a few are good, rest average & some don't know why have been part of this title.

Good companion for lunches

I used to listen to these stories when I had my lunch during office breaks. I also believe in the same ideology that we should bring back short stories.

Springy Aroma

Loved the plot that one can relate. Loved the narration. Sanjeev needs to write more of the short stories.

Enjoyable stories, endings could have been subtler

The author wants people to enjoy satirical short stories (which he feels had become a poor cousin of novels...an idea I reckon with). All the stories shared here are enjoyable,I read them all in one sitting. They were entertaining and most of them belonged to places I could identify. The behaviour of characters and protagonist is so believable that I wonder if they are actually real than fictional. Ending could have been subtler, but that's just me.

Ups and Downs

Few stories are really intriguing and few are just okay. However there are some interesting conversations between various characters which I liked the most.
