Urban Shots is a compilation of twenty-nine short stories by thirteen authors and the credit of bringing them together goes to the editor of this anthology, Paritosh Uttam. Paritosh Uttam has done a fantastic job in bringing together the stories from different genres together in a single book for a good reading experience. It was amazing to read and realize that we have a considerable amount of talent and we can be sure that Indian English literature has a bright future.The book is a perfect compilation, which has some stories that will lift your mood and others that will make you think and rethink about the story and its characters. However, all the stories are good, but I liked few of them that marked a special attention for my thoughts.There are few stories that though are good could have been better. I will not name them, as I do not want to discourage anyone.My verdict for Urban Shots is one book that must be grabbed, read and enjoyed! I just thank God that I got an opportunity to read this great collection of stories by some promising authors. This book is a collection of 29 short stories edited by Paritosh Uttam.But among all them I personally like cover story " Hope comes in a small package" written by Kainaz Motivala.When you are in love with someone thats feeling is enormously good but when you loose it no one, literally no one cant fathom deepness of your pain. A pain which kindle your inner soul.Cover story of this book about a woman Priya who lost her first baby during delivery & what happened which helped her to overcome this disaster, this story is all about it.Though its a short story still writer beautifully expressed emotions which successfully touches your heart. Rest stories I found ok ok .
