Will she decipher the true meaning of love?



About the author
With his two earlier two titles Flight of the Hilsa and Chapter 11, he has already captured a million minds and hearts. His writing questions the norms, seeks and exp,ores some discomforting answers. If not a writer, he would have been musician.He loves his space and coffee.

Me thinks

A love child, a confused teenager, a successful model, a die hard lover, a child woman, a dreamer, a naughty nut and many more such things rolled into one makes Moon  the main protagonist of the story. The story is about Moon's journey from being confused to finding herself. Its about her finding love and learning there are so many beautiful facets to it apart from the one that we usually attach to have existed between boys and girls.

The narration is nicely done making it a quick and light read making it breezy. I enjoyed some of the scenes particularly where a teenager's confusion has been brought out very nicely. The author's language is also lucid and very easy to understand. Extra marital affairs, teem preganancy,domestic violence, love, friendship, live-in relationships - there is every aspect of life that has been covered in this book and that is what perhaps makes it more engrossing read.

The most beautiful aspect about this book was the way the author highlights the relationship between Moon and her mother. The delicacy with which he has dealth with such a delicate issue is truly commendable.

Though I admire the writing style which was good, I sometimes wonder what will a teenager think after reading this book?

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear. 

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre:  Non-fiction / Self help Publishers:  Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price:  Rs. 199/- (  I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
