Aah!!! As I said in my last post too, seems as if Frog/Leadstart publication has become one of my pet publication whom I am reading quite often these days. Right now I am just done with 191-pages novel “Beaten by Bhagath!” which also has the tagline “A Tale of Two Writers”. This novel is being written by S. V. Divvaakar. Though its not his debut work but seems to be- as his first novel didn’t do quite well. With some authors, the scenario is that they believe in writing what…
As I have been picking up books of Srishti and Mahaveer from a long time, God has played a mischief and suddenly I find myself around Frog/Leadstart publication books these days. Recently, I have read many novels from them and right now, I have completed reading the one which was of 591 pages. This is the most thickest novel I have read till date. Finally breathing a sigh of relief. Seems as an achievement after completing this book in just 1.5 days (sleeping included). As the books from this publication…
I am done reading this 350-pages novel “The Hope Factory” by the authoress- Lavanya Sankaran. The book is being published by Tinder Press and has a very beautiful cover page. The greenish effect and a poor child splashing water over himself speaks a lot about what the story would be. It already reflects that it’s a tale about India and its poverty in its main segment of people.
Lavanya Sankaran is the author of The Red Carpet, the bestselling, critically acclaimed debut collection selected for Poets and Writers magazine’s Best…
I am done reading “Taken Already” written by a 2nd time writer- Yaagneshwaran G. Yaagneshwaran is a product marketing Specialist at a reputed IT organization based out of Chennai, India. he is also an avid business blogger and conducts seminars for B-school students especially in the area of marketing. He is known for his earlier novel “The Group of Fools”. Apart from books, the author has a keen interest in entrepreneurship and spirituality. This 130-pages novel has been published by Notionpress which is a self-publishing firm. I am sad to…
After a long while, I picked up a book that’s published by Frog/Leadstart publication. Though this is a self-publishing company but I acknowledge some of the book that I have read from this source. And the amazing part has been that either I have loved the books very much or I have directly rejected them. But the book that I have just completed is the one that I found mediocre- Neither very good nor very bad. “The Redeemers” by Suresh Taneja- who is a chartered accountant by profession and is…
So, on the same day, I am done reading Novoneel Chakraborty’s second novel- That Kiss in the Rain. This is a 204 pages novel which also has the tagline- “Love is the weather of life”. This book is yet another book by Srishti Publication while Novoneel C is one of those writers who turned Bestseller with Srishti and later left it for Random House Publication at the time when his 3rd book was about to come in market. Novoneel has surprisingly done very well since the start of his writing…
I am done reading one of those books by Srishti Publication which got released long back in 2010. I have this book since then but I, finally, got time to read it now. “A thing beyond forever” which also has a tagline “The reward for every true love is not love” is a debut 212-pages novel written by the then debutante- Novoneel Chakraborty- is an Indian author and screenplay writer. His other works include That Kiss in the Rain and How about a sin tonight? His writing is inspired by…
Reviewing a book is a personal experience especially when there is an immediate connection between character and reader. Reading and reviewing ‘Truly, Madly, Deeply’ has been an experience that I have savored because the author, without going overboard has etched the character of the protagonist Rahul in a truly realistic manner.
As you read the novel, over a period of time, you do not even realize when the protagonist and you have become one! The emotion of love is always interpreted differently depending upon the experience one has gone through.…
Kulpreet’s writings always give that realistic appeal to things without becoming cynical. In fact, having read his work before, I could detect the same cozy feel that the author brings to his characters. Here, despite the fact that this book of stories has innumerable characters, the readers are able to slip into the skin of most of them. Due credit must be given to the language, narration and observation skills of the author.
Tales like ‘Not The Only Peanut Seller Who Hasn’t Heard Of Osama Bin Laden’ and ‘A Familiar…
Book No 5 of Ashok Banker’s take on the Mahabharata stories titled, ‘Devayani, Sharmishtha and Yayati’ is about ‘a love triangle that changed a dynasty.’ While the Amba and Bhishma book dwells lightly on love and more on the battle scene, ‘Devayani, Sharmishta and Yayati’ is a story about emotions – about love, lust, passion, jealousy, frustration and revenge.
Devayani loses Kacha’s love to his Dharma….
“His soul wept to deny her – and to deny himself that pleasure, and instead to stick to the original plan for which he…
