Saturday Stories by @rashmibansalofficial is a collection of short stories that takes readers to the days of lockdown and how each one of them had their journey to the stories that celebrates the spirit of life. How in the chaos we found the beauty and Rashmi takes us to such amazing stories.
With a tinge of simplicity and dark humour, the stories will surprise and inspire readers. Each story is beautifully crafted with a gripping plot and descriptive narrative. Right from the title of the story, Rashmi with her words makes readers curious. As the storunfolds, each of them teaches us a lesson, it shows how life is different for each one of us and how we find happiness.
Rashmi’s writing style is candid anbewitching, taking readers on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Her practical approach and the way she adds the element of fun and entertainment in each story is commendable. One could relate to the situations well. The twists she adds in each story are brilliant.
Each story here will make us feel content and more grateful for life. The way she adds small elements of family, realizations, and friendship makes this book more relatable.
The stories are quick and short which at times leaves readers with a feeling of incompleteness. I would have loved it if the stories were a bit more detailed.
Women of Substance, Chal Meri Dhanno, Grapes of Rot, Diamonds are Forever, and Memories of Midnight are a few of my favourite stories from the book. The stories are heartwarming and filled with drama.
It's a good, light read that you can count on if you want to read something intense and beautiful. Rashmi Bansal always charms readers with her writing.

What makes a book a good book?
If it makes you feel good, gives you positive vibes, and helps you to rejuvenate, am I right?
I devoured this book over the weekend and still, some of these characters are living with me. It's hard to forget the refreshing vibe of this book, just like this beautiful cover. It was a pleasant surprise for me, a short book full of beautiful stories.
Only one word is enough to describe this book, exuberance. The Plethora of short stories unfolded in a single cover only to make you smile and hopeful. Yes, hopeful, every story revolves around people who taught you to smile, and cheer up your heart in the midst of turmoil in the world, let me tell you that every story is set on the pandemic, okay so now you want to know how come these stories became hopeful, then you have to read this book.
Rashmi Bansal's subtle fun-filled stories are cleverly executed with wittiness. Her fun is subtle. She infuses hope into every story, deeply inspiring you to smile at every end. I read a lot of atmospheric stories that pulled me into the book but for the first time, this is a book that is capable of changing your surrounding atmosphere if you can read them with your heart. I am telling this because I felt so. The more I read this book the more I am in awe of her writing style.
Stories are here like a wind chime in front of you; they are twinkling, chiming, glistening, and infusing lightness in your heart.
It's a great read from another way also because in a very short and compact frame character development reflects the author's ability, although Rashmi Bansal tells us every story in a playful tone, every character is shining in their own way and capable of making an impact in reader's mind.
This book is quite like a self-help book but there are no anecdotes from the author, it's not sound like learning and never forces you to think rather it will absorbed inside you and your mind will soaked the vibe naturally, so it's an absolutely fun read and can be addressed as a short story collection and refreshing, mindfulness at the same time. It's a great read if you are feeling low or in reading slumps even great for Monday blues.
A very enjoyable short book for weekend reading and relaxing your mind.

Rashmi Bansal debuts into the world of fiction writing with Saturday Stories, a collection of 35 short stories. Covid-19 and its impact on our lives is the underlying theme behind these stories. A few years back, I found inspiration in Bansal’s “Stay Hungry Stay Foolish.” Regrettably, Saturday Stories failed to captivate me and left me wanting for more.
The stories are drawn from everyday life, a few inspired by real-life events, depicting how the invisible virus brought the world to a standstill. Bansal explores not just the dread and despondency, but also human resilience and the desire to survive in the face of all adversities.
However, I didn’t enjoy this book because of many reasons.
I don’t mind the usage of vernacular language as long as it is tastefully done and enhances the narration. However, in this case, the excessive use of Hindi was vexing. Nearly every story incorporates Hindi words, often without adding value. ‘Main Shayar toh Nahin’ is a story in verse format, in Hindi.
Most stories conclude with a twist, but unfortunately, are often predictable or contrived. Thus leaving the readers dissatisfied.
There is nothing refreshing about this collection. The theme of COVID-19, stories of struggle, finding love online, or celebrating birthdays over the net… it’s all done and dusted. Publishing this collection two years ago might have made it more relevant.
Concluding the collection are six stories penned by Bansal’s students. These stories stand out brilliantly amidst an otherwise lackluster collection.
Saturday Stories is a onetime read, and I finished it in a few hours. Pick it up if you are looking for a leisurely read.

The author penned these stories during lockdown, which is reflected in her various stories about COVID-19. Starting with the doubts about the vaccines, the author explores the realistic situation that people faced during the lockdown, such as business downturns and the sufferings of migrant workers trying to reach home.
The advantage of such books is that you can experience various genres in one book itself. For example, in one story, you might find yourself reading a filmy love story, while in another, you might explore the topic of racism in an interesting scenario where “White is the new Black.” Hum Aapke Hai Kaun’ shows the excessive expenditures of a big fat Indian wedding. The diverse stories keep you interested, and they are written in a very short and simple manner, so you can read a story or two while taking a little break from your office work or household chores.

This book was so engaging and fun to read! It has 35 short stories that all begin with luring you into their simple settings, only to end with a twist you would never see coming!
The stories are truly set in our world, addressing effects of Covid and giving pop culture references like How I Met Your Mother. And it uses Hinglish the way we all would do - that fits right in and makes it even more relatable. There are also QR codes at the end of most stories which allow you to directly hear from the author. I found that so unique and innovative!
My favourite pick of all the stories has to be 'Grapes of Rot' for its wholesome twist! It's a story of the differing attitudes of a traditional grape farmer and his son who attends the agricultural school, and how they end up interacting with one another.
If you're looking for refreshing, short reads, you should pick this book!
