“To feel the life of the soldiers family you need to read the full story ”
“This is not a typical love story that we generally read. This is something different, both love for the motherland and the love between the partners. The story is basically about a boy named ‘Yodha’, who wanted to be a soldier and a girl named ‘Perneet’, who fell in love with him.
‘The Temple Stop’ is an outstanding combination of magic, love, sacrifice, trust, and thrill. There is action, drama, suspense and a bag full of incredible poems in the book which totally upgrades the overall impact of the story. Everything looks dramatic in the beginning, but the twists and turns on equal intervals will keep you hooked till the last page.
These are few lines and comments of readers/reviewers about the ‘The Temple Stop’, a book written by Harinder Cheema. Harinder belongs to a FAUJI family with roots in Punjab. Wife of an Indian Air Force officer, Harinder always wanted to become writer.”
“I was writing poetry and reciting it too at various forums. One fine day I felt the urge to write something different and that is how this book came into being. Readers will also get to read a lot of poetry in this book which is my first fiction work.” describes the author herself.
‘The Temple Stop’ is an extraordinary story of two very ordinary individuals.
It is not only a story of love and romance but it is a story of all those soldiers who have sacrificed their lives in the service of the nation. It is also a social commentary on the evils prevailing in the society but nowhere are the social messages forced on the readers. The story has a natural flow and the treatment is very subtle.
It is a book which urges the readers to respect the soldiers and their families in all times and not only during war and war like situations.
The story tells about the, purity of love, sacrifice, trust, bravery, valour and successfully conveys the message that virtues and values are not merely old fashioned words. Respect for Nature, Respect for Women, Respect for Humanity and Respect for soldiers are the messages very artfully conveyed through a captivating story.
The style is simple, the language colloquial but it is the profundity of thought and some soul searching poetry that makes The Temple Stop a rich work of literature.
