The Strange Encounter book review!!

πThe book "Once there was me" is an Amazing book written by Bobby Sachdeva.
π It is commendable that the author has chosen to write so boldly about such sensitive issues.
πThe book is a semi autobiographical deep personal account of the narrator's life.
πIt brings out the unexpected demise of the then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi. The author reminisces the difficulties his family had to go through during the time.
πThe story starts with brutal happenings of his life, who was a victim of communal violence repeatedly, staring at his burning house set afire by the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi.
πThe plot describes about the author who has been recovering from trauma and that he had gone through a lot of ups and downs in his life which had made him more confident about himself but the trauma had deeply impacted his life.
πHaving experienced both sides of religion – of immersion and detachment, he realizes its influence in our lives. He really contemplated a lot and finally submits a PIL in the court for religious shrines.
πThe story exposes to us the ongoing violence, brutality, division and differences because of religion.
✨The Language used is simple, smooth and easy to comprehend.
✨The narration was strong and deep. At some point, I felt heavy hearted while reading the struggles faced by the Sikhs.
✨The cover pic and the title was catchy and apt for this plot.
πOverall it is a great read and I would definitely recommend this book for all autobiography lovers out ter!!
πGive it a read π€π
