Me thinks
The first word that comes to my mind after reading this book is “Commendable!” For a debut novel it is very well researched and written with a very gripping narrative. The author deserves applause for the same.

The book, as the blurb says it about two people coming from completely different backgrounds – one is a spy who works for RAW while the other is a simple common man trying to make a life out of the chaos he is surrounded with. Enter a girl called Tamanna and things change; for good or bad is something that the reader has to find out from the book.

Making your protagonist a RAW agent is no mean feat and for this the author should take a bow! He has not only read books on RAW but has also personally met some station heads and RAW agents discussing this book just to ensure the authenticity of the same. And to a very large extent he has been successful I must say.
Through his simplistic language skills he has managed to weave a very complex cobweb of lies, deceit, love and patriotism.

I somehow feel this book lacked proper marketing which a book of this kind truly deserves to reach one and all for its powerful story line. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading thrillers and such action genres purely for the strong story line and plot backed by exhaustive research.

Foodie Verdict

This book is like corn chaat - tasty, crunchy, spicy, salty and mouth watering!

Book Review: Palestine Wail - Poems by Yahia Lababidi

In Palestine Wail: Poems , Yahia Lababidi creates a profound and unflinching exploration of the ongoing Palestinian crisis, drawing from his own heritage and heartbreak to reflect on a political and humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded across decades. This collection, imbued with personal history, political outrage, and spiritual contemplation, serves as both a witness to injustice and a call to humanity. The work’s origins lie deeply in Lababidi’s own roots—his Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, was forced to flee Jerusalem at gunpoint, a traumatic event that reverberates throughout Lababidi’s poetry.  As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering. Through his words, Lababidi eloquently counters the equation that Zioni
