Story at the end by Sujay
Story at the end by Sujay
This book is a compilation of short stories in which almost most of the stories relate to love, affection, and faith. It accentuates the innocence and heart warmness along with the feeling of love. Nonetheless, the heartfelt emotions were quite similar, the stories varied from one another. It draws some sort of positivity in us while reading, and we can acknowledge that all the stories are distinct from each other in some aspects. I can also refer to some tales that were very intimate to my soul like 'Eternally yours, messenger, The one night in the city.' So these stories that were heart-wrenching, and I felt emotionally connected with it so along with the characters and setting I felt it was pretty relatable as a whole. I loved the way how the author has chosen to narrate the stories, it was more enthralling and so I got hooked to finish the book in one sitting. The language was raw while in the narration of Mahabarata so that could have been simple, however that didn't really matter as I got to read the sequential set of stories. The book moves from the era of Mahabharata to the current crisis of the pandemic, confining the exact event that has been happening. Unpredictable scenes at the end of the chapters were good to concede. I highly recommend this book to the people who admire reading short stories certain to the genre of love and also for the beginners who are seeking for good light reads.
What I like about this book: It is interesting and the book is short so it didn't make me feel dreary. The storytelling is done well. The title is captivated me so that is my first impression of this book. The cover is designed using gradient colors and this is fascinating.
What could have been better: A few chapters that have been mentioned were good to read but it ended soon so those could have been elaborated precisely.

The unfinished chronicles by Shiva Pothu
Aadrika Vyshnavi is the protagonist of the story unfinished chronicles, she is quite different from the rest of the girls. I actually loved her in the way how the facts were revealed and the way she chose to react. The story is based on dysphonia and it takes back to the historical time where the same girl protected the earth. It basically relates to the rebirth of a girl who has been born 500 years back to protect the planet using genetic waves from solar flares. After so many years, the same problem arises and to know how she can save the plant for the second time, you must pick this book and know how intriguing this plot rolls. All the words were crafted very well and so the narration dripped smoothly with the rich use of vocabulary. I loved the character development as it was well framed. This book was more like a switch off genre to sci-fi so if you plan to explore different genres then this book will be a delight.

Book review: Who was the sage of kanchi
The life history of the sage Kanchi is briefly narrated in this book. It is an impressive quick read for children to get insights about mahaperiyava. The obliged information is rightly confined in those slight quantity of pages. Many people from other religions were attracted to his cheerfulness and divine grace. The commandments that will favor the children to improve themselves have been covered as those are the principles to be followed after reading. It will be an intriguing read for children as the writer has chosen to describe in the clearest manner to reach young minds. The fonts are chosen to be jotted down in a vivid and colorful way, the writing style will attract to complete the whole story. The shrines and the other portrayals which are existing in the book are all Indian places, it is more like color sketches that are composed creatively. Overall, I highly recommend this book for children to read as this saint's life and his ideology will inspire everyone.

Review: A state of decay by Dr.
Review: A state of decay by Dr. Ronni Brown
-My review:
The protagonist is a dentist who started working at the prison existing in northern California.
The impressions of the victim’s tooth were existing along with their situation in tooth erosion. In addition, the workout problems for the justification was also added. The tooth decay of those patients was not inflicted because of immoral hygiene or because of eating candy rather some distinct motive prevailed behind the deterioration. It is a medication that many people are consuming so this book covers the impact present in methamphetamine prescription. It prepares us to understand what it is, why the people are getting addicted to it, and what are the components of the drug. This book is recommended for all the people who are involved in the medical field and for non-fiction lovers.
-My point of view:
• I was never familiarised with uncommon information like the ordeal of a clinic in prison before reading this book.
• I don’t read much of non-fiction however I treasure this book as it is informative.
• The analysis over methamphetamine is explored well, it will be an eye-opener for all the readers.

• The notions of the sufferers were also included.

Review: If we ever meet by Mohit kumar
The story makes us relish the nostalgic high school memories, it takes back to the time how we used to chat, and mock with friends on the campus. As I read this story, I urged to be like them, a cute innocent school going kid. I can relate with the protagonist Mohit, he is an introvert, quite shy when it comes to the gender on the contrary so that’s how I used to be as well. Ashli became friends with Mohit and they started sharing their thoughts and their friendship developed even more in the passing day. The characterization is portrayed well and the emotions are strongly expressed. Relationship with friends was also a bliss that has been conveyed in the story. All the programs and memories were constrained in words.
The author has used lucid language to elaborate on the major events within the plot.
.
-My point of view:
.
• It takes us back to the precious time in all our lives.
• The story was realistic and fascinating.
• The emotions were poured and showed well in the writing
• A few conversations were involved in Hindi it could have been in English as I’m not used to it.
.
- What makes this story attractive?
• There are some quick facts in every chapter that is unique.
• The story seems to be interesting as I love to read school love stories.
• The memories are powerful that we can visit whenever we wish.
• The story is heart touching and I recommend this book to the people who miss their childhood fun and who urge to get back to those days.

Everything and nothing by Nilotpal Dutta | Book Review
This book relates to the era of India in which East Indian company was set where the innocent lives left everything due to wipe out in the partition. As we move back in time, we also move back to realize the hardships that people have faced. The protagonist of the book is Damyanti, her life was portrayed since her childhood until she becomes old at the age of 82. The traumas faced by her were depicted in the plot. The inequality between humans and their religions were briefed. The heartbreaking moments took place in her life. The narration takes us to that period, and it makes us look at the perturbations that the people have encountered, however, after struggling in their lives, they have overwhelmed those circumstances to attain tranquility.
- My point of view
• We pretend to become with respect to our thoughts.
• The sequential scenes of her life have made it easier for us to witness our previous generations.
• A few Bengali words were used to connect with the story.
• The story was not dragging rather the right amount of precise information was confined in the flipping pages that felt more intriguing towards the writing style of the author.
• It is a gripping story; it was fast-paced at certain stages and set on a real-time basis.
-Why do I love in this book?
•The author has done research over history, and that seemed to be pretty interesting.
•This story makes us believe that we can do wonders even if we lose everything as the character of Damyanti spreads optimism.
•I love the way how the author has made the readers discern about the lives of numerous people through the life of Damyanti.
• The title is apt to the plot.
