“The Gift of Emotions”
By Anu Menon
Opening Line: “Our feelings and emotions describe us. Like a literary potpourri, each one of these stories evokes different emotions.”
Favorite Line: "He has venomous snake hair like Medusa, a half-bull-half-human body like a Minotaur, and worst of all, he falls down from a cliff into the sea like Theasus's Father."
So, I have read other works by Anu Menon before (see my review of her poetry anthology Priceless Moments). And just like with that book, I was very happy with the results of this collection of short stories. "Short stories" is probably not the best way to describe them. I would say the book is more like a collection of whimsical dreams rather than short stories. Whether it be a quick jaunt to find a magical ring or a quick story about the journey of two soulmates, the lyrical stories here paint emotional pictures of mostly happiness and exuberance.
The plot is not a concern as these stories jump all over the globe and are not related to each other in any way. The only thing I can say that might intertwine them is if we were to look at this work as all happening inside the mind of the author. As if each story is a dream they were able to scribble down after waking and losing the reveries forever. I like that idea as it would not only show how imaginative the author is, but it also makes for an interesting re-read and deeper analysis. Characters appear from the pages as they might appear in our sleeping brains, seemingly popping up before our very eyes and entertaining us for a few exhilarating pages. The tales also mimic our dreams in that they don't seem to piggyback off other stories here. They just exist fleetingly and then move on to the next. Like the dreams we have during sleep.
If you are in the mood for a quick read, that keeps the pages turning and the dreamscapes flowing, this is an excellent choice. You can get it on Amazon along with more of Anu's work. In fact, I would recommend doing both this novel and the collection of poems as a rainy afternoon treat for the avid reader. I also love that the author leaves little tidbits of summaries at the end of some of the stories which sum up the read in a tight little package. Almost like Aesop's Fables. Some of my favorites were It's the little details that are vital, When things go wrong, there is always a solution, and Good times and crazy friends make amazing moments. Recurring themes of the book are destiny, soulmates, imagination, family, inclusiveness, dreams, and emotions overall.
Final verdict 4.8 dreamlike reveries out of 5.

The Gift Of Emotions is a collection of short stories that depicts different human emotions. Emotions that we feel in our day to day life like joy, anger, sadness, surprise, emotions that make us who we are.
After reading the stories in The Gift of Emotions, I got connected to all those emotions which I had ignored just because we don't have time to feel our emotions life is so unpredictable. The feelings which we have left behind or are missing is actually around you just we need to notice it.
There is a sense in which we are all books of emotions: we flip through our pages and think we know how to name what we are feeling. What makes this book so fresh, fascinating and unusual is that it takes nothing for granted and raises new questions at every turn.

Title: The Gift of Emotions
Author: Anu Menon
Review:
“The Gift of Emotions” by Anu Menon is a beautiful and heart-warming anthology of forty three short stories that splashes the myriad colours of emotions experienced by human beings on readers mind, soul and heart.
From the innocent Mitti who gets a baby brother Chinnu as the greatest gift from her parents in “To Infinity and Beyond” to “Dog’s Love” where the adorable pup displays his affection for the elder dog who envies him for stealing all the love and affection from their master. These stories which seem mundane at face value portray the supreme emotions felt by characters at different moments of their life, it’s amazing to see how author Anu Menon has weaved diverse set of emotions in each and every story without deflecting or digressing from their desired climax. How Mitti’s fear by seeing hospital translates into joy or how her loneliness is overtaken by the newly established camaraderie with his born brother is just one example to cite from this collection of wonderful stories.
Overall, written in a simple and lucid language, “The Gift of Emotions” is truly a gift for readers to explore diverse set of emotions and thoughts that not only soothe their hearts but also leave profound impact on their minds.

The Gift of Emotions by Anu Menon is a very enjoyable book to read. I have to say that the book is very interesting. There are 43 chapters in this book with different stories. The scenes are stunningly portrayed, thanks to the intense creativity that echoes throughout the book. The elements of this book are great. There is no time to be bored with this. Too many things. What a beautifully written book! This caused mixed feelings.
It all started with Mia's life with achondroplasia. From innocent Mitty, who brought her little brother Chinu as the biggest gift from her parents in 'Infinity and Beyond', to 'Dog Love', which expresses affection of her adorable puppy. These seemingly ordinary stories depict the best emotions experienced by characters at various points in their lives.
It's amazing to see how author Anu Menon squeezes a lot of different emotions into each story without breaking or deviating from the desired climax. This is a really good book to read when you want to read in your spare time. The title of the book is very appropriate and also has contextual meaning. At the same time, the cover of the book is very well designed and should acknowledge the author. The writing style is simple and easy to read. The language is simple and easy to understand. All in all, it was an enjoyable read for me. Enjoy reading!

Human beings are emotional beings. Humans live with emotions, and it is only the emotions that run the life. The feelings range from good to evil. Out of all the emotions that humans express, an emotion named 'Love' is the most common, natural and precious one. There is love everywhere. It is the love between every being that makes the universe expand and the world progress. To deduce from the vast universe to a single person, the sight itself looks so fascinating, and the most beautiful thing is the feeling that one person develops on the other. In this vast universe, only a single soul comes closer to the heart, and this attraction gives a new direction to life. Apart from the unconditional love that everyone shares, that one particular feeling which makes two people closer to share their lives together is the most beautiful feeling. This specific feeling has no gender bias. It can be between two people, and that is it.
Gift of Emotions is a beautiful, exciting and realistic love story. Love stories are always my first choice to read, and though I have been procrastinating, I feel happy and contended. The simple language, honest writing and engaging narration make the story attractive. I must also confess that it has been a while that I read a nice story.

I picked up this book after a string of lengthy reads and it proved to be a relief. As the title suggests, the 43 short stories are filled with emotions all kinds! You have everything from neglect, simple pleasures, love, heartbreak, fear, dilemma, mixed emotion – you name and it’s there in one of these stories.
Though there are 43 stories, it is a relatively short read. The language is very simple yet the emotions are rightly conveyed. Most of these stories are relatable, meaning, we would have seen them happen somewhere around us and it makes it all the more germane. Some of the stories are inspirational, while some leave you heart-broken and some leave you nodding your head as you would have seen something similar. This book can be read by all and each one will be able to connect to the stories in their own way.
Some of my favourites are The Life of Mia, Baby’s first adventure, Dog’s love, tangled heart- to name a few.
The cover is so apt for the title- gifts wrapped with the title for the tag! Very creative!
In all, pick up this anthology if you are looking for a quick read and need a change after reading something heavy.

"Fly with your dreams and never stop believing."
The advantage of emotions by Anu Menon is a collection of beautiful stories that will stay with you long after finishing the book. The forty-three short stories reflect the complex emotions of an individual, like love, kindness, thrill, etc.
All the stories are perceptive yet straightforward and entertaining. Minimalist and thrifty with words, the author successfully portrays human emotions beautifully, and for that read "Mumbai Rain" story of the high-spirited people of Mumbai. The writing is simple, and the narration is so smooth that I felt the stories' characters are actual humans in our world.
I am astonished how skilfully author portrayed the complex human emotions with her simple words. I would recommend this book to all short stories readers.

Many of you would wonder after reading the book's title “The Gift of Emotions”. What is it based on? Is it a self-help book or what? I must tell you that it’s much more than that. It opens up a world of possibility and makes you wonder what the world is about.
This book contains multiple tales about multiple people who have various emotions. Every story opens up the opportunity to explore one set of emotions. ‘I loved the story ‘For a Good Cause’. It is a story of a girl, Pia, who longed for her bicycle but when she bought one, she gifted it to her maid’s daughter. At this tender age, Pia had empathy for other people’s pain.
The author has done an excellent job with the book. The book cover is vibrant and the stories are quite magnificent. This book is a must-buy for people who like to read short stories. A mix of emotions is all over the stories. You’d be delighted to read all of them. I highly recommend it. MUST BUY.

I loved reading Mixed Emotions, written by the author, for the cute yet thought-provoking story. To be honest, reading this story made me realise how much I miss my old life and how serious now life has become. As we say, there is a child inside everyone; reading such books often rekindles the hidden child and lost innocence. As an avid reader, I come across all types of books, but I must admit that books like these calm my mind.
The story is simple yet emotional. Inserting everything inside a small tale is not an easy task, and kudos to the writer for making it possible. The story is written in simple, easy and accessible language. No complex vocabulary is used, so readers will have a relaxing time reading the story.
What did I like
* The plot as it was unique.
What could have been better
I found the story to be tiny! Some more pages would have pleased the reader in me.

"In the experience is the emotion. In the emotion is the gift."
Very rightly said, the book talks about various emotions being evoked by various short stories in the book.
As I begin reading, my first thought was that these stories are too simple and straightforward like borrowed from various instances in every person's life.
But that's actually the gist of it. The author wanted to evoke the emotion of happiness, grief, sympathy, kindness, love, compassion etc through these short stories.
I felt that the narration was a little bland at some points but overall, the concept and the intention with which the book has been curated is very pure and that is duly reflected through this book.
You won't regret picking this one up!

Human emotions are often underrated especially in the generation to which we belong.
All people want is adventure and thrill but we are afraid of feeling things, perceiving them.
Whatever makes us vulnerable and gains our trust , we tend to push all those people away .
This book is a collection of 40ish short stories which traverses the following strings of emotions:
🌠 Happiness
🌠 Innocence
🌠 Affection
🌠Self love
🌠Self growth
Right from a single child finding her new joy in form of a sibling to a cute little puppy developing a bond with the elder doggo! It's a blissful short read
This book definitely is not my regular read, but on a tired evening, I would like to skip the adventure and pick this up instead.

Collection of short stories are always a quick read for me and this book belongs to that genre.
It has some heartwarming stories that showcases varied emotions. It has stories of happiness, stories of courage,stories of sacrifice and many more. The two stories that particularly caught my attention were that of midget Mia and the Bombay Rains.
The first one showcased the life of a girl who doesn't fit into social stereotypes and the second one showcased the resilience of Mumbai during the floods in 2005.
All in all I enjoyed reading this collection and hope you will enjoy it too.
The cover page is elegant and the language is simple.

Each story in this book is entwined with all emotions that are very relatable in daily life..like anger, fear, disgust, joy, sorrow, surprise, contempt, thrill and many more.
Each story is heart-touching, I had a kind of lingering feel after the story ended.
The book cover is attractive and touching at the same time. I felt some connection at the very first glimpse. The title is apt. The narration is lucid, language is simple.. truly an astonishing assembly!
It actually is a treasure trove of emotions penned down beautifully, engaging and unputdownable.
