Urban Chronicles II, highlights parenthood of urban dwellers through three visceral short stories. Today’s ever busy, fast society, with much to do, far too many choices, and too little time results in both, anxious parents, and, silent, rebellious children. While a child is most precious to parents, the stories question the strategies that parents are adopting to bring up their children. In Lost and Found, Adrit, prefers to stay with his kidnapper, while in All that matters, Pankaj’s parents impose their unrealized dreams on their son without even attempting to understand what the boy wanted. The third story is an intriguing take on relationships when three generation embark on a cruise. In an age where time is a luxury and the reading habit is receding, graphic stories make messages easier to communicate. Nita Bajoria keeps it simple, with her empathetic and perspicacious view of life - a humane approach, even in criminality, that can forge unexpected bonds; living your dream every moment, without being burdened by the expectation of others (especially relevant in these times of loss due to Covid); finding yourself and others through rekindled relationships.

    Urban chronicles is a picture book which comprises of three very meaningful stories with a message. These stories are about-

    1. An unimaginable and a heartwarming relation between a child named Adrit and a kidnapper caller Brinda.

    2. Studies is important but it’s important to enjoy each and every moment of life too. A son who’s only motto in life was to fulfil his parents wishes but was he able to do so?

    3. Three generations together a on a cruise, it was amazing to see how three of them cared and supported each other. Together they shared their thoughts and views.

    This is such a wonderful book. It has three good moral stories in it packed with beautiful illustrations. Sometimes illustrations speak louder than words. I loved every bit of it as it reminded me of my comic book reading days.
    Good work author Nita Bajoria.

    A woman's narrative of women in metropolitan, their bonding, relationships and friendship; complemented with graphics.
    The book bridges nostalgia and storytelling, gently highlighting emotions and their presence, all in all floating the readers abreast with metropolitan lifestyle meanwhile shaking some dogmatic ideology defining that lifestyle.
    Women form the central character in all three stories, and the author has commendably given each character their due share of justice through her words.
    The book's different from our daily read, but perhaps this difference is what completes this graphical collection of short stories.

    Amid changing process, this book highlights the various parenting styles in today's world & their effects on children.
    _
    Every child, according to his/her potentials, comes across various independent thoughts of standing in life. They make mistakes-rectify, fall-get up, think & learn. This process builds & boosts their self-confidence, zeal, & will to learn. But sadly, in this century too, many parents try to superimpose their thoughts, their goals, their determinations & lifestyle on their children, thus making their children liberated yet clutched un the hands of false or unwanted thinking process. This wrongdoing should be stopped, else as a whole we are losing many young talents which could have sparkled the fame of our nation to higher levels.
    Overall, a worthwhile reading experience!

    This was a very inspired gift from the author, and it excels in its simplicity. It's broken up into three stories, perfectly sized for when you need to read something quick and pithy before going to sleep with a mind buzzing from the demands of your urban existence.

    Urban Chronicles 2 is beautifully arranged and as honest and unapologetic as they come. Anyway, I picked up the comic because I was curious what her writing was like. It's cleverly written. Very earnest and heartfelt. It's fascinating.

    Most graphic novels are quick, fun reads, this is unlike anything I've read before because it’s so rich with meaning. This is like a literary fiction novel tucked into a graphic novel. It made me think, it wowed me with its language, and it definitely provoked a lot of thought

    Suggestion: If you have not read this book, know 'nothing' about it......(having not read 'any' reviews- no blurbs- 'nothing'- have been living under a rock like I have ), if you are willing to 'trust'..... go in blind... DON'T read anything about this book until you have finished the last page ..... I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reading it this way.
    It's Soooo worth reading!!!!!!!
