Yeah, finally I got my hands on this lovely series by Jeff Kinney. The sad part is that I read the last book first rather than reading in line. However, the book is a masterpiece. It’s cute, simple, connects with you at some level and brings back all those good, not so good and bad middle school…

I am no die hard fan of Chetan Bhagat. Sure, I have read all his books and have found them entertaining. I have identified with many events of Five Point Someone and recommended his books to many friends. But his books did not have the raw resonance of say, Jhumpa Lahiri. That is before he came out with his latest offering, 2 States, the story of my marriage. This is undoubtedly his best till date. The simple and sweet boy meets girl love story has been presented in a wonderfully…
This one came after the classic ‘Love Story‘ and the tepid ‘Oliver’s Story‘… and went on to become an international bestseller and a major motion picture.
Every book of Erich Segal is a delightful read and this one is no different. It explores the relationship between as the title suggests, ‘man and woman’, ‘woman and child’ and ‘child and man’. The only thing is that the child is not ‘theirs’, but is the result of ‘his’ affair with ‘another’ woman on a business tour. The novel details the lives of…
The Unaccustomed Earth is a collection of eight short stories where Lahiri explores the cultural issues and differences between the American born second generation Indians and their parents, who migrated to the U.S. in the 70′s-80′s.
The first five stories are independant and the last three are about the same two people,Hema and Koushik.The best part is that each story is long enough and makes sure that the readers bond well with each of the characters.
Lahiri’s writing is just brilliant and I was effortlessly dragged into each of the stories.…

“Remember the Roses” is a magnificent love story and one of my all time favourite short story with a touch of romance, along with that excellent Erich Segal classic: “Love Story”. I have read its sequel too… “Oliver’s Story”… but it does not come close to “Love Story”… my personal opinion, entirely.
Not just a story – “Love Story” is an experience. It shows us the amazing power of love. This 120 page short novel made me laugh many times during the reading, and when I finished it, I had…
I’ve always been meaning to read “The diary of a Young Girl” by Anne Frank right from my school days.I remember hearing about it for the first time in the European history class.Finally after many years, I got to read the book, thanks to a dear friend who presented it on my birthday.
Before I start writing about this book, I must confess that I did have some preconceived notions of what this would be like. Given the fact that it was set during the world war and mindful of…
