My Views
The Ghost writer is a short story by Mayur Didolkar. Before this i had loved reading Mayur Didolkar's short story collection Nagin so i was expecting a lot from it. And after reading this story story i can say that this story did meet my expectations.
The ghost writer is suspense thriller which holds you from the start. As the story moves along, things happen in such a way that reader is forced to read the story till the end. The story also has supernatural elements in it so it also increases the thrill factor in it.A nd it did manage to surprise me in the end which made it a satisfactory read for me.
The title is also apt for the story as in the story Mutka's father was a ghost writer who is supposed to be a ghost who's still ghostwriting.
Although i liked most of the story but if i have to point something that i didn't like then i would say that in the story there is presence of trapdoor in Mukta's house. The story is set in mordern times and i don't think such doors exist in mordern homes. There may be homes where such things exist but i think it would have been better if the writer had employed some other means to move the story forward here.
In conclusion I would just say that i really liked this story and if you haven't read it then you should give it a try. I'm sure you'd not regret reading it.
