Urban Chronicles a graphic novel that effectively highlights the dusty areas, the thoughts that are often overlooked owning to the mundane lifestyles of the urban dwellers.
Urban Chronicles II is a collection of three stories which along with its visual representation and excellent blends of dialogues and monologue exchange craves out some important messages and moral teaching for its readers.
The fast changing and development of the world in terms of globalisation and virtual communication how often we lost the real emotional connection and communication with people living with us like a child with their parents and parents with their children and ultimately this lack of communication brings about lack of understanding and ability to comprehend eachothers feelings.
The first story is about a boy who is been kidnapped but he doesn't even wants to go back home. In the second story we see a man struggling to fulfill his parents expectations that lay on his shoulders and a story of women of three generations their dilemma and finding comfort in eachothers serenity.
Talking about parenthood and how strict disciplinary ways can be suffocating for children to emphasizing on freedom of choices is something everyone longs for. Each Story ends with an happy note where we sees how the shiniest wheels may have a little rust and darkest alleys have specks of rays and that's life amalgamation of significant and the insignificants.
Accompanied with beautiful illustrations and stories conveying messages with deep meanings each character being etched beautifully showing different dimensions of life celebrating both glooms and blooms it offers. I loved the first and the last story. The second one felt a little hapazard and usual. Overall I really enjoyed reading it. Will recommend it to everyone who wants a graphic stories that make messages easier to communicate.
