Samaaj: Jismein Main Rehta Hoon by Narendra Kohli
As much as Narendra Kohli is known for the narrative and flow of his writings, he is also for the clarity of his thoughts. He often hears that people are afraid to talk to him. Do not know what he would say next. He believes that ‘we should always speak the truth.’ Society says so, but most people do not have the courage to listen to it. Most people speak what others want to hear. But these small things, which we do not give much importance to or do not consider necessary, are a mirror of our personality.
Samaaj: Jismen main rahataa hoon, reflects the same ideology of the author. This memoir of the sweet and sour experiences of Narendra Kohli’s writings and life is also interesting and serious as well. There is sarcasm in this as well as poise. It is also the truth of life, and life itself. Kohli’s strong writing has made it more intense and livelier.

He’s not a man if gets scared of the bloody view in front of him.
It is necessary to live in that condition, which is difficult to live in.

If it is not so, it will become hell to live,
And every person a living dead,
So, don’t forget that you are Sohal,
That Sohal,
Whose name is enough to frighten the enemies,
when you are in front of them,
they hold their breaths,
Because they do not know,
whether they will survive the next moment or not.’
