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!

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...
