"Everyone around is our mirror and reflects our own being."
"My Shape" by Shivi Dua is the story of Aditya who came back to his home after 25 years. The story progresses in a flashback along with the cousins of Aditya. The book mainly focuses on the understanding of five elements Fire, Air, Water, Earth and Space and their role in a human's life. The book discusses the evolution of mankind and the contribution of five elements to the evolution of mankind. The novel has beautifully portrayed the childhood of Aditya and his nine cousins. Kudos to the author for writing such a great novel which on one hand, it lets you understand the psychology of a child that how their mind evolves, and, on the other hand, it will let you introspect your ideas, your thoughts.
Talking about the language and narration style of the book, the language is lucid but slow-paced. The story is philosophical, so you have to go slow while reading and give time to let the information sink in. I would recommend this book to those who think that whatever wrong happens is all their fault or who thinks that they can control the outcome according to their desire. I liked this book as it helped me understand myself in a much better way.
