Beyond Prescriptions - Periwal, Rakesh

. .

Résumé :
When a doctor looks beyond diseases, he starts writing beyond prescriptions. The doctor here is not only the story writer, he is also one of the characters. He sees it all; hope, despair, drama, ecstasy, magic, humour, agony, denial, belief, sometimes all in a blend. The reader may have a reaction of his own! The stories are short but leave a lingering feel. There is flow, there is pause. Sometimes it's like a roller coaster ride, sometimes like a dropped beat. There are intense moments; there is a lighter side to life as well. With all the technicalities of disease aside, it is the human behaviour in focus. Both of the doctor and the patient! You can read them on the move; or relaxed. You may consider them as a related experience or a totally new insight. Be whatever, you should be able to feel the intensities.
