Tears & Smiles of Human Soul by Om Parkash Jawa Review

Tears and smiles of the human soul by Omprakash java I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest review 

The book is a collection of four stories the first one is seeds of deeds then withering life following bridge nemesis 

The first story scenes of deeds are about an old man who along with his granddaughter Gargi abandons his home and moves to a desert amidst 

In the barren desert, he finds an oasis full of trees and flowers seeing the fruit-laden mango tree and flowers he finds peace and joy 

He reflects on his own past and realizes that the fruits of his own sinful deeds have brought him sorrow and misery 

While that of trees brings peace joy and contentment he depends on his past and resolves to return home to lead a virtuous life dedicated to the service of others 

The second story within life somewhat portrays the current state of the country it talks of a fictional land that has weakened 

Due to unweighted agitations strike demonstrations communal harmony etc here again the author draws a parallel with plants and trees plants and trees bloom and flourish because of their strong roots 

Similarly, a nation can achieve great heights only if it has a strong foundation that is its people are united and they jointly work towards 

Its upliftment the third story falling bridge extols the importance of religion and scriptures in purging the society of crime and sinful deeds 

In the fourth and the last story, nemesis talks about how a man strays into corrupt practices due to greed for money a man may become rich by resorting to corruption 

But it also debases him corrupt practices may bring short-term success but his decline is inevitable a story has a moral lesson to teach the central theme of the stories is the age of law of karma 

Through his stories, the author has emphasized the importance of doing good deeds and leading a virtuous life 

Wishes these bring misery and good deeds bring joy to the soul the stories are thought-provoking and will make you think and reflect on your own karma 

I've also read and reviewed another book called the sanctity of life by the author which also held stories on a similar theme 

The author had witnessed the horrors of partition at a young age as he lost his father and grandmother in partition rights 

But in spite of that, the author hasn't lost his faith in humanity he believes in the goodness of people and through his stories 

He wants to spread the message of kindness peace and harmony the stories come with a message of hope the characters in his stories may go astray 

But they realize their follies and reform by the end through his characters the author conveys the message that everyone can return to a path of goodness

Even if they have led a sinful life in the past the author's faith in mankind and his commitment to making this world a better place through his 

Stories are really commendable now coming to the things which could have been better in the book the language of the book is a bit complex 

The use of elaborate words in flowery language makes it difficult for the beginners I think the author should use simplified language in case 

He wants to target the masses the author feels passionate about the theme of the stories his writing comes off as preachy 

As the author is too heavy-handed in his delivery of the story's theme the author has important things to say but if the writing is preachy 

Then the readers may disengage in spite of a few shortcomings the book manages to put across a valuable message if you are interested in reading a story collection with moral lessons, so this was my review of tears and smiles of the human soul by Omprakash Jawa.
