Journey on the trail of love

Author: Tazrian Yusuf Chowdhury || Published by Morning Dew

Tazrian is a young writer endowed with the gift of imagination. She has revealed her creativity and adeptness in writing short stories that surely will make readers discern her distinctive style. She offers 8 interesting stories of varied topics and taste in her first publication titled Never Say Goodbye

Her ability to keep the readers engrossed in the stories till the last chapter reminded this reviewer of the world class short stories of the famous writers, especially of the last two centuries. What is refreshing is her stories are not crammed with too many characters with plots and sub-plots and not overflowing with drama and melodrama. Rather each character she created has a strong role to play to take the story to its conclusiveness.  She has a unique style of story-telling and she takes her readers through the stories with veritable ease and poise.  

 Readers would be pleasantly surprised by many of her stories. Mission Possible is unique in premise and style, a very original in concept. Perhaps never before birth of a human baby has been presented in this unique fashion. Then again the pathos that the writer paints with her pen in The Umbilical Cord would make many readers reflect on life that exists on the other side of the fence – away from what we know as normal. Based on the theme of poverty and adoption, and the quest for finding the original family, Tazrian constructs this story to its unique finality.    

Tazrian gives her very best in Never Say Goodbye. It is the supernatural yet poignant tale of bonding between the dead and the living. There is the hint of an apparition and yet there is nothing uncanny about it. Innocent and chaste love of two individuals living in two different realms has been depicted brilliantly in measured sentences by the writer. 

Tazrian has a free flow of imagination which has been well supplemented by her passion for reading and travelling across the globe. She has observed life and lifestyle of people from various social strata at home and abroad. Her language is lucid and unpretentious and she knows when to bring the climax.  She definitely has the required aptitude and finesse to make a great writer one day.
