Reader's Reviews of 'Return Journey of a Stranger'.

I am thankful to every reader who has communicated his/her feedback about my third book 'Return Journey of a Stranger'. This feedback has given me an insight into how my work has been received by the audience. All positive comments have made me satisfied with my efforts, while constructive criticism helps me to improve my writing skills further. I thank all the readers for taking time to have given their review about the book.

My dear Suhas, I could not control myself after reading your third book ‘Return Journey of a Stranger’ and my heart has opened up automatically. The words below are a sequence of that phenomenon. 
• I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. In fact, I finished it just in two days’ time. I read every word, every sentence, every para and every page – I could not skip and jump as I normally do while reading other books. Unfortunately, this is what I have been doing right from my childhood days. It was grasping and kept the interest flowing.
• The book is very well worded, intriguing and makes the reader ‘mad’. Each word is scientifically placed in the right place and can’t be replaced by another. 
• The plot in the story flows down like a river – originating in mountains and hills, flowing through various terrains and finally meeting the sea and in the process carrying everyone and everything with it. 
• Chandu – the hero of the story is really very lucky that he met all good people in his journey except Kundan and his father Mukundilal who advised him to run away from the scene of murder. That was also a good thing. Normally, in our lives we come across many characters – black marketers, politicians, jailbirds, terrorists, pimps, wrong friends and all types of unsocial elements who trap us and lead us into wrong tracks. What happened in this book is a rare occurrence. To make the story natural I think there should have been one or two such characters and then Chandu rising up in his life fighting all the evils –this would have been more natural. 
• It is also a little unnatural that no ‘girl’ has played any role except of course his ‘painter’ girlfriend who has a very minor role 
• If I had enough money I would have made a Hindi / Marathi movie with the title “Chandu”.  
• This book has presented a new ‘ SUHAS’ to the world who is not only devoted to his work and family but 
is also very much aware of the legal aspects, court scenes, social structures and child psychology. 
• Let almighty give SUHAS a long peaceful and trouble free life so that he could write many more such inspiring books.

Completed reading 'The return journey of a stranger'...a solid storyline told at a reasonable pace keeping the users interest intact.it is also laces with couple of thrilling moments which come as surprise to the users. The main motto of 'enthusiasm' is not lost anywhere and that is what the specialty is.
However, some of the situations seem to be highly positive which may not be the case in this cruel world.
An excellent piece from an equally excellent person...

The best part of all the stories is its simplicity, in language, in content and in emotions. All the characters are driven by emotions, we encounter in regular life. It also gives an insight to your simple observations of regular life and the ability of drawing deductions at times practical and at times ideal. More than any suspense its a ...wish which blossoms in reader and that captivates the reader binding him to go on reading in order to reach the outcome. Personally, it connects me to various moments of my personal past/ present life... 
I can term all your books till date as "Trilogy of Life".... I look forward to have many more pages written from heart with so much youth. Great Success for future...

Dear Suhas, I finished reading the book quickly, and i loved it a lot. This is definitely the best one so far.
I urged my sons to read it because it is so positive, motivational and simple.
I loved the whole thought process... it’s so Indian and something we are losing with each passing day.
Values, grit, determination, respect.
Fantastic book.
Chandu is the next maryada purhsotam after bhagwan Ram.
Best wishes and look forward to your next jewel of wisdom.

Like the last time, I couldn't put the book down, and finished it in 4 hours today afternoon :)

Amazing book :) A very interesting narration of a well-kept suspense.
The best suspense was in Mathur's knowing Chandu's background and still appointing him as the office boy!
At one point of time in the book, I really wondered the reason behind the sympathy of Mathur toward Chandu, which got cleared eventually.

I am also curious about the amount of law you had to research for writing the court account, the death-declaration part. I could see K D Pathak in the defense lawyer.
On the whole, it was a wonderful reading experience :)
Cheers!

Congratulations on your 3rd book 'Return journey of a stranger'. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. 
What I appreciated most about the book was your firm conviction that the moral values taught by one's noble parents at a young impressionable age are a thousand times more powerful than any university education and can easily catapult a person to the highest pedestal irrespective of his humble origin.
More strength to your already powerful pen.
Keep going.

Suhas ji. At last got some time to read the Return Journey of a Stranger. Wonderful. If the speeches at the end by Mr Mathur, Mr Pawar could be cut short, I feel it can be turned into a blockbuster movie.

I read the 'Return Journey of  a Stranger'. it is a quite interesting book, this is not a 'Stranger'  it is 'Return Journey of a Strongman'.  Super book you have written. I admire the characters like Chandrakant Shantaram Pawar, Tea stall owner Tau, Om Prakash Mathur and Ms. Nirmala Devi. I like the restaurant name 'Tai Ki Rasoi' , when I spell this name I feel I have eaten a Rasagulla Sweet. Chandu's farewell party speech and International Golden Peace award function speech is very interesting and useful for the entire society.             When you write the new book every time your writing skills is jumped to 100% compared to your previous book. May God bless you to become a one of the famous writer (Global) in the World. My best wishes for you.
