Book Review: An Affair with Love, Life & Gratitude By Sushmita Kalashikar
Book Review: An Affair with Love, Life & Gratitude By Sushmita Kalashikar
Simple, yet poetically beautiful. This was the phrase that occurred to me after I finished reading the book of poems titled ‘An Affair with Love, Life & Gratitude’ by Sushmita Kalashikar. As soon as I read the first poem I was thrilled by the fact that the poet believed in adorning her verses with rhyming words.

Tommy and Irena sat together on the bench watching the beautiful fountain in the middle of the circular pond. They were both eating peanuts from the bag held by the elder of the two, Tommy.
'Why are you called Tommy but I am called Irena?' asked Irena lazily.
'Because you look like mommy and I look like Daddy,' replied Tommy.
'How is that?'

Book Review: The Secret of the Nagas by Amish Tripathi
In my review of the first book of ‘The Shiva Trilogy’ by Amish Tripathi The Immortals of Meluha, I had mentioned that the author speaks of a civilization so advanced scientifically that the scientists of the country (the so-called Rishis) had developed a potion that makes the drinker live up to two hundred years.

Well, he was dead now. Only to have statues
