Non-Detail

Have u studied Non-Detail books along with ur regular text books in ur 10th, +2? I don’t know about CBSE, but in State syllabus, usually u’ll find these books.

 

Generally these books will contain a story or two in detail, having around 100 to 150 pages.  You’ll get plenty of marks (in ur end exam) from this book when compared to your regular language text book, grammar and etc.  In my studies, I had “The Merchant of Venice” written by Shakespeare & “The Moonstone”, a story about an Indian diamond stolen by an English Man and the journey thereafter.  These books were just like novels.

 

Now the point is, y’day, I got a doubt y these books are called as Non-Detail books?  As these are having more details of a story when compared to the stories in our ordinary text books, they need to be called as “Detail” books, isn’t it? I just wonder about what was in their mind while naming these? Do they think that these details are not enough to complete the story? Then how can they expect us to answer all those questions on the story?

 

Any how, my gut feeling is that these books need to be re-named as “Detail Books”; otherwise those authors’ souls won’t rest in peace…
