"The book 'People With A Difference' contains anecdotal stories that comprises realistic situations experienced and observed by the author himself. It is an authorship of anecdotal stories about such people around us, in our villages, in our towns who are quoted and mentioned due to their uniqueness, due to their special styles, due to their things done beyond rut, different from the bitten way. It is certainly not about the personalities known nationally and internationally but it is about people who lived more than common lives and hold their position in general conversations, and these things make them special. The author has highlighted such people who have said or done something unconventionally but wonderfully. Each story narrates something special and ends with a note of humour and sometimes leading to hilarity. The book would certainly tickle your mood to enchantment and freshness. Reviews (On backside of the cover image) Shamsher Kendal has the knack for writing the stories of the land he comes from. S. Khushwant Singh, reviewing my first book "Wit & Humour of Haryana" had observed that "dialects are absolutely untranslatable." But here in this handy volume, one finds Shamsher adding juicy stuff to make the bucolic and near-rustic expressions breathe a life of expressive mastery, and indulgent narration. The episodes ending with sayings in Haryanvi and bringing out the witty wisecracks alive is remarkable. The episodes not only titillate but educate too, on what obtains in the Haryanvi way of life. -Mr. Rajbir Deswal, Celebrated author and illustrious columnist Shamsher Kendal's book ""People with a Difference"" brings not only very interesting, eminently readable and insightful anecdotes about the people of Haryana, but also a subtle and unmistakeably affectionate sense of affinity with these people, whose ingenuity, sincerity and intellectual resourcefulness have remained largely unappreciated. These anecdotes provide delightful glimpses of the joie de vivre of common people. Their uncommon characteristics have been highlighted in a variety of mundane situations that would otherwise go unnoticed. Thus the book provides a fresh perspective regarding the people of Haryana, which is very important in view of the crude stereotypes of Haryanvi people created and nurtured by the media. I hope the book will serve its purpose both as an entertaining read and an enlightening delineation of the lives of common people. I wish the author all success. Prof. Dinesh Dadhichi Head of Department (English literature) Kurukshetra University Kurukshetra and an illustrious author."
