Journey with 'Different Shades of Women'

Finished reading 'Different Shades of Women', the third book by N S Ravi a while ago. The book has been published by Author Paradise. Before I present my views on the book, let us get introduced with the author.

N S Ravi holds a post graduate degree in Economics from Delhi University. He is fluent in English, Hindi, Tamil and French.
Before turning his attention to writing, the author had a distinguished and challenging career in senior positions in public and private sector enterprises dealing in jewelry, infrastructure and textiles and apparel coupled with exposure to living and working in Europe, Africa and India.
His first book titled 'Those were the days' was a non-fiction and published in 2014 by LeadStart. His second titled 'Khan Vs Kahn Vs Kanh' is a fiction based on Indian film industry. It was published in 2016 by Notion press. Both the books are available with Amazon and Flipkart. Ravi is married with two children and lives in Delhi.

About the book:

In the book we come across the lines, "Yatra Naryastu Pujyante, Ramante tartar Devata."

The title of the book itself proves that a woman has different shades. Sometimes as a mother, sometimes as a daughter, or a sister (or a sister-in-law), or maybe a nun, she proves the divinity that exists within her. The book consists of some short stories where each story acquaints us with a shade. So, the title does go at par with the book's content.

I also loved the cover page of the book. Unlike his previous books, the cover page of this book gives an idea of the content inside it. Pictures of a baby girl, a mother with her kid, a bride with her groom, a female wrestler, a sister tying Rakhi to her brother and a self-reliant modern woman- all depict one thing - different shades of women.

I have always loved reading Ravi sir's works. This book also has failed to disappoint me by any means. The words are simple and the flow of narration is awesome. The best part of the book is that the stories cover not just different shades of women, but each story takes us to a different zone. While one story is based Haryana, the other one is based in Bengal or Kerela. We can get to see that women are the same anywhere round the world and does not change because of the surroundings. The author has described things very beautifully and after thorough research.


I would rate the book 4.9 on 5. I would recommend all the readers around to definitely read this book.

At the end, I would five my best wishes to the Author. You really have a long, long way to go, sir! We are with you!
