A significant feature of this book in English entitled “Cheese Chilli Toast” is written by a very small girl,of only 11-12 years of age Meher Munshi,, studying in United stated. Her parents are very well educated and working in the United States and Ms. Mehar is born in the United States.

Jammu Roots
I took up review of this book by tender-aged girl whose roots are in Jammu, City of Temples. I think it will sensitize the people of Jammu and Kashmir that they are quite talented and when provided with suitable climate and facilities their intelligence faculty flowers and yields positive dividend. This girl got congenial environment and opportunities with support from her parents and other relatives. She has penned this small book.
I think people of this part of India will learn a lesson and drive inspiration. In our mother-tongue Dogri, not only our writers should pen down books for younger generations but also encourage youngsters to express their ideas and learning for others. It will enrich further our Dogri language.
Lucid Narration
‘This 139-pages book has ten chapters including ; “Fencing : The underdog wins Badminton ; Doing something unexpected; Basket-ball : Discovering your strengths; Cricket : Something like baseball; COVID Guilt : When I had COVID: The younger me : The missing Caretaker”.
It is a fact of matter that the English language used by Meher Munshi is American style and ideas with specific words spoken in American slang. The theme of the write-ups in this book are just related to actual living of student life particularly connected with sports activities.
That a tender-age girl has authored this book speaks well of her art of communication in expressing her thoughts in an effective manner.
Flight of ideas
The “Cheese Chilli Toast” published by Wings Publication, Indore is finely, printed with a good get-up and attractive title and beautiful back page. I have gone through the book and found it a enjoyable reading as it connected me to my own student days when I was trying to boost up my literary skill and style.I urge that our youngsters in Jammu and Kashmir as also across our country must look up to the budding writer Meher Munshi for sharpening the skill for lucid writing in our sweet mother tongue, Dogri.
The Wings Publication is particularly known to give budding young ones wings to dreams.
I fervently hope that Meher Munshi’s creative faculty will fully bloom in years to come and provide master pieces in whatever language she dreams and dares to write. Good luck to Meher Munshi and may Lord bless her for more books.
