Book: Once There Was Me
By: Bobby Sachdeva @ibobbysachdeva
The story begins with the murder of our late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's by her Sikh guards. The fourteen-year-old boy's world was trapped in the web of brutal communal violence and Anti-Sikh riots in the capital, Delhi affecting many innocent people including his family.
There are glimpses of partition as the author's father was one of the victims of partition. Apart from that, he has narrated about the discrimination he faced on the basis of religion, constraints and being a refugee, in his own country and abroad.
This is definitely an extraordinary story of an unknown Indian who recovered from his traumatic past and rebuild himself.
The incidents narrated are from the real-life account of the author. The writing and narratives are raw and deeply personal.
It will leave you devastated and heart-broken. The story is fast-paced and brilliantly penned down. It literally gave me goosebumps.
The cover is well designed and does the Justice to the title. The language is easy to understand.
I will definitely recommend this book to the readers. This is an amazing book.
