The author has started every story with a relating proverb which is very impressive. I found the name of each chapter very intriguing and so I had a good experience of roaming the world in simplicity and just imagining the wonderful environment around me just sitting on my sofa.
Being a 'Mumbaikar' and having a hectic lifestyle I had almost forgotten the time when I was a kid and use to read Tenali Raman and Akbar - Birbal stories, fairy tales; the time when we could breathe fresh air instead of this pollution which has caused more than half of the Mumbai seem to blur with every new day. The time when people were trustworthy.
Rajnish takes you on that journey where you get to experience real the human emotions were before.
The book comprises of 12 short stories. Each of them has its own spotlight.
The Nawab with his Sword, A aghori with his advice, The memory of Seven Hills school, The romance in Paris...!!! You can see the stories are like a kaleidoscope which changing colors. Author has also shared his own experience from his travels.
If you are looking for a light and enjoyable read then this one is for you!
This is the book is best suited for book club reads!
Book review - 4/5 star!

I loved the title 'Aahang'.
The book is been written in a very simple language and shows mostly author's real life experiences.
Some of the stories gives clear picture of simple Indian culture and values, while other depicts deep emotions and thoughts through them.
The stories are well crafted and closely knitted around social structure and beliefs of India.

The narrative style of the author is really admirable . It would be more concrete without those extra dragging of the story .The book is perfect mixture of Emotions . I like the Starting of the book and the pictures in the stories . Those have made the book full of life .

¶Review: Aahang by Rajnish Kumar is a collection of short stories based on different themes depicting a range of human emotions.
.
.
✔The author has written stories based on his real-life experience. 12 different stories from here, there, now and then, different emotions, unique endings, nostalgia, relatable quotes, every chapter is ending with a small cute leaf symbol, unexpected turns and what not.
As it is based on real-life experiences, it was like a cherry on the top.
.
.
✔Simple language, easy to understand, the characters are portrayed very well, strong narrative. I loved the title and cover page of the book.
.
.
✔It is a book you can read it in one go. It is a book you can read while you're traveling, or when you're on the terrace with a cup of hot tea and breeze, or when you're way too busy, just read a few chapters. It is a light and enjoyable read.
.
.
✖ Found a few mistakes, errors. But I'm sure if it goes for another round of editing, it will be an error free read. :)
.
.
Fav thing in the book: At the beginning of every chapter, there was an inspirational & suitable proverbs used.
Recommended to all kind of readers.
