Note: I am trying to write this review with numerous bhakti songs (read: Kannada and Tamil matinee songs) – courtesy an extended Ganesh Chaturthi – playing in the background.
It is a Herculean task, I tell you. Writing the review, I mean *Sigh*
If I Pretend I Am Sorry! Will You Pretend And Forgive Me? is the second offering from Prashant Sharma, after Love, Life & a Beer Can!
It is a curious title for a novel, but then there is nothing like a curious title to pique the readers’…
Ragging, Fun, night outs, Dhabha Food, doesn’t it entice you even today to those fond memories?
I am sure for each of us who had a wonderful life at college would nod in agreement. And, that’s what the book does. The narrator, a 43 year old takes us to his college, DEFCOMs, the grueling routine, their time at college and the person the college made them.
I liked the book for a taste of life without modern technology. For the little things that brought a lot of happiness even in…
Juggling between 26/11 attacks in Mumbai, the moments between Aparijita and Anirudha, A Dilli-Mumbai Love Story, as the name suggest, is a story about love, pride, and standing up for your love and those small things in love that you would love to live.
Anirudha Hirani falls in love with Aparijita Pinto at the first sight. Different religions. Different background. Dissimilarities and more importantly the stark difference in their economic status. Yet, nothing deters Anirudha to chase his love and Aparita to accept it.
They fight all odds to keep…
Some women give in to societal pressure and camouflage their happiness with blasphemy.
Some women fight all odds to pursue their dreams
And some women rise from the ashes and fight for their dignity
What if one example from the above categories mentioned are friends and then move on to live different lives?
If you wish to know, then you must read “Of dreams”
A story of three women, Payal, Amrita and Aarti. They are friends who stand at the threshold of life’s misgivings and churn their future accordingly.
Payal…
Fast paced, filled with plenty of high-octane action and incredible twists and turns, Haunted is one action-thriller guaranteed to give an adrenaline rush. Douglas Misquita, Jr. has impressed and how!
Don’t be mislead by the title, this book has nothing to do with the denizens of the spirit world or the afterlife, and the author – Douglas Misquita – is very much Indian *smile*
Action-thriller is one of my favourite genres and needless to say, I was more than glad when I won an author signed copy. There is nothing…
This is the debut novel of Nikesh Rathi, and he has chosen to take the road less traveled vis-à-vis the spate of new writers who have presented themselves for us to sink our teeth into. Thankfully it steers clear of an ill timed, ill developed and thoroughly clichéd love story or an almost love story, that has sadly become de rigueur.
Somewhere @ Nowhere also made it to the Vodafone Crossword Book Award 2011 Longlist – which must have made Nikesh Say Cheese!
The Storyline: The protagonist, Aditya Khanna, is…
Burnt Toast. No, this has no relation to any culinary misadventures and has nothing to do with Teri Hatcher either. Teri Hatcher who? Arre, Susan Mayer of “Desperate Housewives”, and Lois Lane from “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman”. Got it? Good. Ummm, this “Burnt Toast” is advertising professional-turned-author Sandy Kundra Verma’s debut novel. Apparently after years of living on a percentage of what her B-school batch-mates were being paid and convincing herself that it was all worth it, she decided to branch out into what she liked…

Three vibrant characters, differentiated by mentalities, dreams, goals and way of living yet bound by the cord of friendship would explain the lives of Amit, Rishika and Rima, oops Rimz.
Amit’s passion is environment. He believes in safeguarding the precious gift called nature but is frustrated as his job comes in the way of his passion, leaving him terribly confused as to what he should finally do. He also counts himself among the lucky men who…
When Booklover enquired if I would like to read and review “Flight of the Hilsa”, I was more than glad… and the Hilsa bit had nothing to do with it, I assure you! Do not be misled by the book title. It is not about fishes and there is nothing fishy about it either.
This is advertising professional-turned-author Amit Shankar‘s debut novel. While Hilsas don’t fly, “Flight of the Hilsa” took off on the 28th of October 2010, and in less than 5 weeks, headed for a re-print. Blame it…
‘The Long Road‘ is the debut novel of Dr. Vivek Banerjee who also writes on Rediff blogs where he is known as Ben. It is a tale of doctors, by a doctor but by no means exclusively for doctors.
The protagonists are all doctors who are studying to acquire higher qualifications. That the good doctor is a Hindi movie buff is amply clear given the mention of a famous water tank scene from an iconic movie. Two of his protagonists are namesakes of actors – Dr. Rahul Roy (remember the…
