आज मैने नीलम सक्सेना चंद्रा मैडम ( Neelam Saxena Chandra) कि लघु कहानियो कि पुस्तक "रिश्ते मोहोब्बत के" पढ़ी. हर एक कहानी अपने में ही सम्पूर्ण है. जीवन के अलग अलग पहलु दर्शाते हुए वो अपने हर पाठक को कुछ न कुछ सिखाती है. हर कहानी खुद से कुछ जुडी जुडी सी लगती है। जिंदगी में कैसे रिश्ते बदलते है और फिर वापिस मिलते है, यह इसमें पूर्ण रूप से साफ़ है. कहानिया इंतनी सरल और दिल को छू जाने वाले अंदाज़ में लिखी है कि कोई पाठक अपने को किसी भी शन कहानी से अलग नहीं पाता। हर कहानी जीवन में आगे बढ़ने कि प्रेरणा देती है. चाहे जो भी परिस्थिति हो उसका सामना करने का साहस दिखाती है. यह सभी कहानिया हमको समझाती है कि जिंदगी जीने का नाम है - ना कि घुट घुट कर मरने का. इन कहानियो में वो हर एक शंका है ( उसके हल के साथ) जो हम सबके मन में कभी ना कभी घर करती है. यह सभी कहांनिया बहुत ही प्रेरणादायक और सुंदर है.

मैं नीलम मैडम को इस खूबसूरत किताब लिखने के लिए बहुत बहुत बधाई देता हूँ. इन लघु कहानियो को पड कर मुझे भी बहुत कुछ सीखने को मिला है.

मैं यहाँ कुछ लघु कथाओ के नाम ज़रूर लिखता परन्तु मुझे हर एक कहानी में कुछ नया और दिल को छू जाने वाला तथ्य मिला। इसलिए मैं सभी १६ (16) कहानियो को बराबर मानूंगा।

और अंत में मैं ये ज़रूर कहूंगा कि यह किताब सबके दिल अवश्य छुएगी.

Touching! Heart rendering! These are the words which came to my mind while reading the stories. Each story took me into a new world. All stories were so realistic. Loved the collection.

“Rishtey Mohabbat ke” is an apt title for the combination of the sixteen stories. The writer has crafted every story very well. All stories are having realistic touch and every character can be found nearby. Actually she has added a very correct stement that “love and care has nothing to do with age.” It can happen to anyone, sometimes with anonymous people. People will find these stories within themselves and also in the society, as the collection shows a part of society. Social issues and problems have been very well touched upon in the collection. The author has covered each story so nicely that readers wouldn’t find any barrier while reading it in Hindi. If the story is good, the reader can easily adjust with the language if he/she is having little knowledge of that language and they will never hesitate in adding into their collection. Neelam Saxena chandra’s book (Rishtey Mohabbat ke) is one of them. All stories come with different variety and flavor Love, Friendship and care are the most important feelings of these stories. Either it is of “waiting for someone special’s latter” or “giving support to our near ones.” This book doesn’t belong to any particular age group people. All types of people will love to read it. Even teenagers would enjoy it if they understand relationship even a little. As per my recommendation, it is a must for every collection.

It is a book of hearts by a heart for many hearts.

Neelam Mam has beautifully written all the stories and most of them carrying messages of positivity, hope, dreams and morals.

Every story is yet so different from each other and portrays varied emotions, pretty well. Some stories makes you smile, some makes you ponder upon life and others just gives you hope that you can found a true love when you least expected. Miracles happen, yes, in her stories they have happened! ‘Shiksha’, ‘Duvidha’, ‘Ek Mulakaat’, ‘Rishta Mohabbat ka’ and few others are some of my favorites. How a teacher changes a student’s life and in return learned a lesson; How a girl chooses to uphold her morals; How two people who once loved, met unexpectedly in life and stay beside each other and how fighting all odds two people who love each other finally raise their voice and decide to stay together, thus you see every story carries a different lesson, a varied feeling and all of them are woven too nicely in a book form. Except a few spelling errors, on the whole the book is a must read even if you don’t like much reading the Hindi literature.

I thought this book is only about romance. However, i was surprised to find that all stories are all very different and speak about different aspects of relationships. I loved the way she has ended the stories.

[Raksha · Rating 5 out of 5]

The human emotions have been well expressed and many a times the reader can relate to his/her own situations in life. Neelam has a strong hold in this language and Love as an emotion has been sensed and drawn well by her.In all, an excellent read.

I liked all the sixteen stories. Each came with a different flavour and as a different assortment. The stories touched my heart. Recommended to everyone.

कहानियां जो दिल को छू दें! ऐसी कहानियां जो लगती हैं की आस पास ही घटित हो रही हैं| समाज के रूढ़िवादी विचारों को चुनौती देती कहानियां| हार न मान्न्ना सिखाने वाली कहानियां| हर कहानी में कुछ ख़ास है|
