Rabjot Singh Isher's compilation of short stories, "Canvas of Life" is one work of fine art and a true mark of a craftsman trying his hand at different styles of writing through the medium of short story writing. Every story that Isher has written has its own beauty and a different level of possibility and imagination that an artist can explore. Every story impresses the reader more than the earlier one and the author ensures to write every story with such skill that it becomes difficult to make one of them a favorite.
The author has a flavor of using the flashback technique in his stories as it keeps appearing off ad on in his stories now and then. Also, the element of mystery and suspense remains in the background most of the time. Isher takes time to build his characters and create an aura of uniqueness in them. Even though he has not written a novel but he totally shows the potential of trying his hand at novel writing. He shows his scientific bent of mind in almost all the stories and at the same time also explores how human psychology works and also the message of spirituality is given in one story or the other.
The best part about the book is that it remains an inviting read to people of all ages, backgrounds and from all walks of life.
