This short story collection came in my life when I was in one of my most trying times this year.
I absolutely adore the writing and the characters each story brought me.
Each story is special and holds a special significance. My favourites are “Chutki Bua”, “Maape”, “Patr” and “Keepsake”. These stories gave me realistic memorable characters which I would remember for years to come. These stories are just perfect! These stories provide wisdom and insights we all can share, to learn from and actually practice in our own lives what these characters teach us.
“Jaan Hai, Jahan Hai” gave me chills regarding how challenging life can get when you make a mark for yourself in the society but yes, life can get more rewarding and exciting when we choose new paths challenging our fate when things do not change.
“Lahore to Lagoon” has some triggering scenes with violence and other events that would leave disturbing images of the actual events that took place during communal riots. “Soz” is thrilling and quite disturbing too!
The perfect book to share with friends and family as they have lots to learn from for all kinds of readers.

"Keepsake" by "Neha Gupta" is an emotionally charged work comprising of daring short stories that focus on the complex interpersonal connections. Being each of them a fine narrative, a true thread in the pattern of life, every story depicted everything a person can come across in practice. Her writings are verbose, artistic, and appealing to the aesthetic senses through magnificent examples, which helps bring the reader right into the lives and into the society of the characters and their joys, pain, and the complexities and variations of shades of gray that exist between.
Her characters, often isolated and grappling with the complexities of life, find solace and meaning in the bonds they forge with others. Whether it's the unyielding love between a mother and her child, the bittersweet nostalgia of a lost friendship, or the tentative blossoming of a new romance, the author masterfully portrays the profound impact that relationships can have on our lives.
Overarching the content of Central Identification Collection is staging of one simple, yet ever-relevant question – that of unity of people. In this context, dc’s characters – employed and single females struggling with the issue of life – get the meaning of their loneliness through the relationships they develop. This may be the unconditional love a mother has for her child, or the painful distance in a break off friendship, or even the young courtship of two lovers, which the author weaves so excellently to depict the drama and effects of relationships in peoples lives.
Nostalgia is something that any book strives to create and looking at the large wall of text one cannot deny that The Sandman does indeed achieve that to great effect. The stories seems to inetebrate the past and the memories of childhood in an attempt to perhaps explain the ways through which they impact on the present. She sets the stage and takes the reader through happy, sad or even trying periods to feel all that the past generations went through.
But on the other hand, despite being a lovely set of well-written stories, the book has its problems. Most of the stories may seem quite ordinary in a sense that they may not have something that would be referred to as suspense. Also, as a major theme of love, loss and desire may be overdone in the collection and be monotonous at times.
In conclusion, despite these minor shortcomings, it is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant collection of short stories. Her writing is a testament to the power of storytelling, capable of evoking a wide range of emotions and leaving a lasting impression on the reader. For those seeking a literary experience that explores the depths of human connection and the enduring power of memory, it is a must-read.

I loved the Author's writing style. Then stories are beautifully narrated with just the right balance of words. I liked the subtle positivity left after every story, not to sound them like moral stories yet have a meaning. The blend of Hindi, Punjabi words in between gave a sense of honesty to the story. My favourite was PATR meaning Character. I loved the dialogues and the conversations between two bookworms friends, and it's ending. It was the most unique out the whole lot, very creative and interesting. All characters weave together perfectly in each story. Well done neha, you have done a fabulous work!!
I actually wanted to give 4.5 stars. .5 is just that there is always scope of improvement ☺️

All of our lives are a series of stories, anecdotes and tales, of who we are, of what we see, of whom we meet, of people around us, of things we do. Stories make our lives interesting and worth living. It brings people closer, it weaves relationships, it fosters bonds, it stems laughter and love. And such is this book of short stories, Keepsake.
A beautiful collection of short stories that envelopes a myriad of themes, plots and emotions. The author has carefully and beautifully designed the conversations, experiences, which almost all of us have in life into stories that hit the right chords. The book has seven stories, each an exploration of lyrical and literary beauty.
Be it the one titled Chutki Bua where we get a protagonist who solves issues with stories and goves you space to make your own ending and perceptions, or be it the one where we have a couple who always fight but couldn't fathom getting away from each other like in Maape. Life is all about living and if it means to wander, to rebuild, to restart, so be it, like we see in Jaan hai, Jahaan hai. In all of us we have a burning, for things varied enough, and that burning makes us do things, hide things, love things and the story titled Soz, is a beautiful representation of that. If we need to know how the turn of events can actually prove to be lovely, we read Lahore to Jagraon.
My favorite story was Patr(characters) which has a lot of bookish mention, is about characters, about books, about how we all are characters in our lives. It is so beautifully written and it made me so elated as a reader.
The author has seamlessly blended the themes and presented to us a lovely amalgamation of love, longing, self-expression, exploration, nostalgia, fate, and everything beautiful that our lives are. Stories, tales and beauty it weaves. You feel connected to it, it feels like a warm hug on a chilly day. You resonate with the stories which is one of the standouts for me in the stories.
If you love short stories, wonderfully writen piece of literature, you need to read this book.
Highly recommended, go get it now.🌻✨️

‘Keepsake’ is a poignant collection of short stories that captures the essence of human emotions, relationships, and the enduring marks that memories leave behind. Inspired by her personal blogs, Gupta weaves stories that reflect on lives, connections and the complexities of human existence. Each tale carries a unique flavor, drawing readers into the inner worlds of her characters, all of whom are shaped by their circumstances, experiences and desires.
The standout stories such as ‘Chutki Bua’ and ‘Keepsake’ portray familial bonds, nostalgia and loss with touching intimacy. In ‘Chutki Bua’ the protagonist's father’s sister is central to the narrative, infusing warmth and wisdom into the family through her storytelling. Her belief that the listener decides the ending of a tale is a beautiful metaphor for the unpredictability and agency we have in our lives.
The story ‘Keepsake’ from which the collection takes its title delves deep into a daughter's discovery of her mother’s hidden grief and strength through an old sewing box. The contrast between her mother’s pragmatic life and the emotional revelations of her father’s letter is heartbreaking, leaving the reader contemplating the weight of unspoken truths.
Neha Gupta's strength lies in her ability to bring out the beauty and tragedy in everyday lives. Her characters from the bickering couple in ‘Maape’ to the haunted businessman in ‘Jaan Hai, Jahaan Hai’ are depicted with realism, yet their stories often have a lyrical quality that resonates beyond the pages.

Sometimes we get so busy searching for extraordinary stories that we overlook the charm of the ordinarily extraordinary stories around us. Keepsake is a collection of such stories that brings us back to our roots, helping us reconnect with our raw and innocent selves.
It's been a while since I last read a short story collection, and I’m delighted that Keepsake found its way into my life. Each story is written from the heart, creating an immediate connection with the reader.
The book features seven stories, with Chutki Bua, Maape, Lahore to Jagraon, and Keepsake standing out as my favorites.
Chutki Bua teaches us to be problem solvers in the most natural way, while Maape brings both laughter and tears. Lahore to Jagraon beautifully connects us to Pakistan, taking us back to pre- and post-Independence times.
However, it was Keepsake that truly broke my heart, leaving me with an aching realization that some stories cannot be changed, and we must accept life as it is.
I won’t get into the specifics of each story, as doing so would diminish their beauty. Keepsake is one of those books that's difficult to review because it reflects a part of ourselves in its pages. The stories remind me of my childhood—simpler, more naive, and filled with innocence.
The blend of Punjabi words throughout the stories adds a special touch, highlighting the essence of Punjab and Punjabiyat, which holds a special place in my heart as a Punjabi.
Neha Gupta's engaging writing style and natural narrative make these stories feel true-to-life. Keepsake is a book you'll cherish for its beautiful portrayal of everyday stories, which will remain a keepsake in your heart for a lifetime.

I recently read a book called "Keepsake" during a phase when I didn't feel like reading anything heavy. The book is a collection of short stories and I found it to be quite comforting. The vibrant cover caught my eye, even though I don't usually pay much attention to book covers.
The stories in this book are simple yet impactful, and they made me reflect on the quote "live your life in such a way, that you have a story to tell." One of my favorite stories is about Avinash, a fellow book lover, which I could relate to on many levels. Each story is captivating and unique in its own way.
I appreciated how the author, Neha, gave equal importance to both the characters and the stories. This book feels like a warm hug on those days when you just want to snuggle up with a good read.
I also liked how the book includes different languages, although it can sometimes make it harder for readers to connect with the story. However, the book comes with a glossary, which I found to be very thoughtful.
I want to thank Neha for sending me this book with so much love, along with a beautiful letter.

Keepsake a collection of 7 short stories is a book which amazed me with its brilliant writing and engaging story telling. The way the stories are written is just something which according to me will blow every reader's mind, introducing the chapter with one character which we think is the main character but later ends up as just a side character felt like woah!
Don't jump into this book thinking that all the short stories follow similar genre or type but jump into it by staying ready for the way the writer is going to amaze you with the versatility. Even though the stories were small, the writer did perfect character as well as story development, you will never find a character who didn't have a backstory.
Now speaking of the stories, although I enjoyed each story still I had favorites names of which are Maape, Patr, Soz and Keepsake.

Sometimes a short story makes us feel things that even a huge novel fails to deliver.
Keepsake is a collection of stories where each story took me back to a different time. It was like entering a time capsule and being transported to a places that got long lost. I found myself and my childhood in the pages of this book.
Though one shouldn't be partial, but I personally loved the tale Maape. It reminded me of my grandparents. It reminded me of a time when love wasn't labelled as red flag or green flag. It just meant being together till death do us part.
A very heart touching read. Would highly recommend it to Desi readers!
