This is not a review of any book or a comment on the books of any writer.Its mere a contemplation about the work and its impact on Indian writing today.With in few years,he has established his name in the literary arena of this country.He broke all traditional views about writers who write in English particularly.He says, rejections from publishers made him write more.His this statement caught my attention when I approached him first time and was reading his interview on social media.What a passion for writing! And dedication towards own work.
         His stories linger around the life of common people, specially those who lives in his surroundings.It makes his characters live in the novel. Settled in the one corner of the country and sketches social, economical and  geographical characteristics of the region so aptly make readers astonished.We travel through the pages of the novel with the writer.This is a mesmerizing experience to the readers.His narration is easy, language simple and events memorable.
         Five wonderful novels are in his credits so far.Two-three books have found their home in other languages also.He scripted his name on the major literary awards of the country.Today he is considered as a major voice of Indian pen.
           Just a day before,he was awarded with another important prize (Bangalore Literary Festival Award)for his new book,The small town sea.I passionately felt to write about him.That's all. Of course,he is Anees Salim!
