Truly,Madly,Deeply:Book Review!
Truly, Madly, Deeply. I don’t think I need to elaborate what the genre of the book is. A love story that revolves around the life of two teenagers of how met, how they fell in love and how love finally ripped their lives apart. This one is a little off the track as it focuses [...]
Caught in a Storm: Book Review!
Caught in a Storm…a saga of love and betrayal is another attempt( I am losing count now!) by an Indian author at a love story that is intended to include suspense, thrill and so on. People from all age groups have given it a shot and this time we have a 19 year old, Bhaskaryya [...]
Book Review: Love,Peace,Happiness by Rituraj Verma!
It would have been a lot better if the title of the book read as “No Love, Peace, Happiness”. In short, that was all what the book was about. A collection of short stories, that had a few good ones here and there but most of them were humdrum. All the stories that have been [...]

Book Review: The Innocent by David Baldacci!
I had heard about David Baldacci before and I had received only words of praise about his writing. After rummaging for a while, I did manage to get my hands on this book and it was worth the wait! Thriller and mystery novelist have always found a high place in my book and Baldacci is [...]
Book Review: Hilawi by Ritu Lalit
“So was Hilawi, a hiladi- novel?”-the boy next door, in his worn out casual-challenged. Yup! I was into another long discussion and reading session with the local mates-(8 to 80- all inclusive) – and some said- fictional myths died with our Thakur Ma’r Jhuli and several other creations of the Tagore family- some drew a [...]
