Read this super-quick love story to feel the true magic of love.
My Opinion:
Positives:
A cute tale of love, The Pocket Love Story is well penned by Ajitabha. His writing clearly reflects his vision for scene writing as the complete book will create a scenic movie in front of your yes while you will be reading it. Dialogue writing is done in a simple manner; narration and language too are kept simple. The book targets towards young readers and love-story lovers.
Book cover and title are different but doesn’t relate to the content in the book (Though it suits with his theme of writing India’s smallest love story book) still the concept with which the title and cover are selected will add this point as its positive.
Negatives:
There are some grammatical errors in the book which leaves a negative impact. Moreover, he could have written a more detailed version of this story because at many places it was felt that he could have described the feelings and scenes deeply. Also, some amount of Literature and more characters could have been added to the story.
Final Take on the book:
An unexpected ending is waiting for you from the author and director Ajitabha Bose who love ending his stories on a sad note. This will connect directly to your heart and will bring Tani and Ram alive in front of your eyes while you are reading this. So spare some minutes, yes you are right some MINUTES and read this super quick ride of love.
Final Rating:
Book Cover and Title: 3.75/5

In a recent Interview session with him, he told us many of the hidden secrets to success. Have a closer look at his journey:
1. Welcome to Speaking My Heart, my readers would surely want to have a sneak peek on your background and family. Please tell us something about yourself?
Hi, my name is Ajitabha Bose. I am mass communication graduate from IMS, Ghaziabad. Born and brought up at Jamshedpur and after spending most of my life there, I moved to Delhi for my higher studies. With my keen interest in writing I have been a consistent blog writer where most of my write-ups are based on love. My writing was first acknowledged in 2013 when I published my first novella named, It's A Love Story. I am also the owner of a production house named Bose Documentaries Ltd. I have directed commercials for brands like Google, Hindustan Times, Amazon India and Steller. I am also a book cover designer.
Apart from this, I have written numerous articles and short stories. Some of them include “If Only” and “Yours Forever” I have edited an anthology named The Untold Love Stories. I have recently launched “The Pocket Love Story”, which is the first pocket size book in India. It has created a national record of SMALLEST LOVE STORY BOOK certified by India Book of Records.
2. This is not your first book but my readers would definitely love to know how did the idea of writing a story come to you for the first time?
I had been a consistent blog writer since 2010. It was in the year 2013, when I published my first story. The journey so far has been enormous. The love, support and motivation which my well-wishers bestow on me is just beyond my expectations. I will try to live to their expectations and keep entertaining them lifelong.
3. You are a Film-maker by profession as well so what would you liked to be called after 10 years from now, a film-maker or an author?
I guess, probably a film maker. I love writing. I write to express emotions. It’s my dream to work with Shahrukh sir one day and probably I will write the film’s script myself. I own a production house and definitely ant to make my company famous worldwide. If I rate myself, I am film maker first, then a designer and probably writer in the end. I am more confident when I release my video than book.
4. Any message for our readers or aspiring authors?
I would recommend writers to write more often. Not to think about the language or the grammar part. There are many untold stories which are still prevailing in the hearts of many people and they don’t write because of fear. Fear of getting mocked, fear of laughs or may be fear of this world. Stand apart and write your dream.
5. If you ever get a chance to write your autobiography. Will you write it? If yes what will be its last line?
If God blesses me with such a success that I am asked to write an autobiography, I will definitely love to write one or I will ask someone to write on my behalf. The last line would be “thank you everyone for everything you gave me…”
