All this is gradually changing with time as more and more people
discover great literature thanks to the internet. Many of the
contemporary authors draw their inspiration from everyday examples that
they see around them. This is key when it comes to establishing a
connection with the reader. Many readers generally associate with the
writer and the story when the experiences they read about mirror their
own in life.
Many authors like
Chetan Bhagat, Salman Rushdie
Aravind Adiga and others have become quite popular with the masses and
with good reason. The use of simple language, easy to understand nuances
and straightforward plots make them very attractive to the urban
reader.
There are quite a few good books to choose from for your
own perusal. For instance, you could try
Ruskin Bond's Short Stories.
This author has brought out many stories both for grownups as well as
for kids. The stories penned by Ruskin Bond are steeped in culture and
Indian sentiments, all woven skillfully into literary bliss.
