Karma is a Bitch

Review by Ila Garg

The short story Karma is a Bitch is beautifully penned down by the writer, Rafaa Dalvi. It’s a true integral part of the book Kaleidoscope, which is a collection of 25 different spellbinding stories.

The story begins at a very fast pace. The writer, Rafaa Dalvi has proven to have a very intellectual approach while writing this plot. In addition, the writer has a considerably good grasp on language, which is used well to create such a magnificent story which will leave a deep impact on the readers.

The descriptions of the hotel room, the scenes, and other details are elaborated well with quite proficiency and an excellent flow of words and emotions has been maintained throughout the story line. The writer has shown his potential as a movie script writer as the flow of this story actually makes you believe as if you are either watching a movie or hearing its story from a friend.

The central character is chosen well and cleverly described. Besides a real character and the mother who remains in the background as she had died already, there is a supernatural character too. Every scene is written quite dramatically, without disrupting the overall aura of the write-up.

The mingling of real and surreal elements has been done in an articulating manner. Readers can connect well and will not feel bored or lose interest at any point. It is a combination of some powerful elements but still very comprehensive. In my view will keep the readers engaged till the very end and they will want more of such breath-taking stories from this writer.

I personally loved the story as it has an element of thrill and passion, combined with the concept of Karma. You wouldn’t want this story to end and that’s the best part of it. I have read few more stories from the same writer, so I can safely recommend you all to read this story and many more. He will keep stunning you with his creativity in writings. Good luck & Cheers Mr. Rafaa Dalvi!
