Book Review: It Will Always Be You by Megha Rao
Well, romance is one of my favourite genres and that's the main reason I chose this book to read. It Will Always Be You by Megha Rao (Penguin Metro Reads) is a love story of Aditya and...well, Aditya. No, it's not about gay couple. Both female and male protagonists have same names, Aditya! Why? I'm yet to figure it out!
Female Aditya has been kicked out of her house for reason (At least there's no plausible explanation) and sent to male Aditya's (Tiger) house to pursue her studies. It starts w...

Every single dayI open the treasure of your memoriesI smile, I weepSome make me yearn for moreSome hurt deep, oh so deep!I whirl, and whirl, And they chaseNo, how can I erase?So, I make a choice, And move to the lovely onesMemories churnTake me with its wingsEmotions glisten in my eyesMy lips tremble to smileThe moment I feel you beamAnd your voice ring

Book Review: Me Mia Multiple by Debashish Irengbam
A new release titled “Me Mia Multiple” ? A love story with a twist? Piqued my curiosity (Stories with twist are always welcome) and then some 4-5 stars ratings. Definitely going to read, I thought and ordered.
Me Mia Multiple by Debashish Irengbam ( Harper Collins India , must say they are coming with some really interesting titles!) tells the story, twisted story of Jeevan Raikar, constantly shielded by his three married elder sisters (and eccentric brothers-in-law), who is greatly depressed and...

Book Review: The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Divakaruni
I'm an avid reader but my genres were restricted. Earlier, I hardly thought beyond contemporary women/romance. But, recently I experimented with different genres and realized that it has helped me to grow as a reader (or maybe even as a writer, in the long run).
As I talk about different genres, mythology came as a pleasant surprise! I started reading “The Palace of Illusions” by Chitra Divakaruni and found myself totally engrossed.
My brother and author of yet another nice Hindi mytholog...

दर्द का वो नायाब क़तरा...
दरद का एक नायाब क़तरा छिटक कर मेरे दामन में आया उसे सहेजा मैंने,दिल से अपनाया एक छोर से फिसलते अरमानों को,कस कर थाम था मैंने उसी में ढूँढा था एक सपना सलोना छिटकती नरम धूप,झील का वो किनारा, अंजाना सा वो धीमी मुसकुराहटें, पहचानी सी छन से टूटा वो सपना बस एक पल में, छिन गया मुझसे मालूम था मुझे...शायद,दरद का वो नायाब क़तरा छिन जाए ग़र कभी,तो इतना ही दरद होगा.

Book Review: First Brush on the Canvas
The best thing about an anthology is that you can always move ahead to a different perspective, with a different expectation.
First Brush on the Canvas was a joint venture of Writers melon and Half Baked Beans. Stories, mostly by new authors, came as a result of a nationwide contest, judged by authors like Ashwin Sanghi and Preeti Shenoy.
The book is a collection of 14 different stories edited by PriyankaRoy Banerjee . Different because they are from different genre i.e. Romance, Co...

Book Review: Me Before You by Jojo Moyes
One good book is far better than twenty mediocre ones!
[image error]
Didn't read much last year but I got hold on some really good books, and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes is one of them. And I truly thank Penguin India for the (unbiased) review copy!
I finished this book two days ago but the effect of this book still lingers, and I somehow find it difficult to review this book because as I sit down to write the review, so many thoughts whirl in my mind.
Me before You is an excruciating st...

Comedy: Sense and Ability
Dostana, Bol Bachhan, and Happy New Year. Do you find something common between these bollywood movies? Yes, Abhishek Bachchan. Let’s try again, and find another common feature. Yes, they all are hit films. Okay one more time. Yes, they are comedy films.
After watching these films, I wondered why Abhishek Bachchan, still struggling to shape a successful career, doesn’t switch to comedy films. The only thing he could do nicely, I think.And it’s not unusual. Many actors have chosen this gen...

Book Review: A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
In 2013, I read The Almond Tree and I’m so glad I did. It was wonderful. Heart wrenching.
The Daily Star praised this book saying: “The story is spellbinding…can do for Palestinians what The Kite Runner did for Afganis.
Now, I wanted to read….no not The Kite Runner but Khaled Hosseini . I chose A Thousand Splendid Suns.
"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roof
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls"
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a heart-breaking tale of two women from...
