An excellent emotional fiction by the author is what I would say and this would be a perfect storyline for an Indian Film be it in Bollywood, Tollywood or Kollywood. It talks about the rise and fall of Atul Malhotra who had a humble beginning. He along with his friends Prem, Anil and Rakesh sets up TTL - a Telecom Company. He was ably assisted by Qazi who served as his Legal Counsel as well. Though Atul had high ambitions, he was against ill-doing but not until he met with Shalikram who was introduced to him by Mir who was Atul's good friend. Mir stayed in Delhi and used his position to lobby powerful politicos to invest in other's business. Shalikram offered to invest Rs.1,250 crores in Atul's company and in turn wanted Rs.500 crore every year as returns. When this was sniffed by Atul's employee cum friend Prashant Nagarkar, Shalikram eliminates him. On the other hand, Atul's personal life was also at stake. His better half Roshni who he marri...

We all would have watched Mahabharata in television as a kid or otherwise. We would have also listened to the story from our grandparents or in conference or at least have read it in parts in book/school text.  Undoubtedly we had seen the evolution of story over a period of time where we had seen the greatest epic being translated and transformed in various forms with the help of technology but not getting the basic story line changed. The same happens in "The Mahabharata Code". How nice would be it be to read that Lord Krishna writes in a Parker Pen and there are lot of coding and technology involved? This is what the author tried bringing in this story. He has integrated it very well at suitable places that makes this book really interesting to read. I must say that the thought process gone in this book is simply mind-blowing because as a kid, I always remember my Mom saying that the so called GOD would be Technologically Superior to us sitting elsewhere i...

This is a simple self narrative story about a girl from Maharashtra by name Jyotipriya Mavlankar. It took couple of hours for me to finish it. As I had mentioned in the title, it is a perfect eye opener because the authors had beautifully portrayed the life of a girl who in the remote parts of India are still considered as a liability. Jyotipriya too had a troubled life though her Mom was not like others but owing to the family situation, she has to struggle on various instances including her first love which she had to sacrifice but there was a good reason behind it. She later realises that it was one of the wises decision she has made. The flow was neat and authors did bring out the exact message what they wanted to convey. This is surely worth the read and would definitely bring in a change in the lives of others.... Do buy the book which is available on Flipkart and Amazon

This is an unbiased review about the movie KABALI After creating so much of expectation and hype, I managed to get the ticket for First Day First Show in AGS, T.Nagar. The show was at 11:50AM and unlike it's competitor multiplex, AGS did start the movie on time.I also did not realise that all of them who had the tickets were given FREE Refreshments which I enquired and found out myself which AGS would have mentioned it on their tickets clearly. This isn't an issue anyway because I got mine finally and it was worth the money. The theatre did have the air conditioner running till the end which is also really appreciated. There was multi level car parking which I noticed it only today. Kudos to them for implementing this which is the need of the hour as it saves space constraint. Now coming to the movie bit. As soon as the name was screened, spectators started shouting. It is of no wonder since the movie features none other than Superstar Rajni. Even though I g...

I came to the railway station. It was early in the morning. There was hardly any lights around and I could hear dogs howling from a distance. I was bit scared but I thought why should I be since this is a railway station and not an haunted bungalow or castle. I managed to see the time on my mobile phone. It was 3.45AM. All of a sudden there was an announcement " Train No. 12345 will arrive at platform no.1 shortly" and even before the announcement was complete, I saw the train approaching.Strangely I could not see clearly as to who was in the engine room as the lights were switched off but the train did stop at the station. When I got in, I was into more of a shock. It was completely empty. Though I had an unreserved ticket and now that I can travel happily by sleeping on the berth, still my mind felt something fishy. I quickly ran to the other bogeys and found everything was empty. Even before I thought of getting down the train, it started moving. I was on a compl...

This is my first post on my blog and I am really glad to write about the one and only SuperStar - Rajnikanth. His name needs no introduction. He is a Brand and an Icon by himself and movies sell like hot-cakes which features him. As a kid, I have watched many movies of Superstar but I always had a special liking to his Baadshah since he has donned the role of a Don. Many fans just like me had always wanted Superstar to perform another role just like Baadshah and there came Kabali. As per the information circulated in Social Media, this story revolves around the movie of a person named Kabali who has gone from Tamilnadu to Malaysia for work and has fought against the others who were oppressing the people(labourers) in rubber farm. Let us not go deep into it since the movie is set to release in few days from now. Yes. The movie is set to release on July 22nd and what I heard is most of the theatres which has opened the advance booking has seen tickets being sold out within few ...

When I got to know about the Green Tea which leaves no residue, I was surprised. I decided to give it a try and got this 6X Green Tea packs. As mentioned earlier, there were no tea bags inside but the light brown coloured powder and when I added it to the hot water, it got dissolved quickly. I tasted it and I must say it was much impressive. I could smell the aroma of the tea and also the essence of it. It was bit sweet as well and I wondered where it came from. When I took a look at the contents of the pack, I got to know the reason. As you can see, the product contains sucrose which is why the tea tasted sweet. I did not feel any change n the very first day but after a prolonged use for few days, I must say that I started feeling fresh. This is not an exaggeration but the real fact.This pack detoxifies the liver from harmful oxidative radicals. When this is done, it triggers improvement in metabolic abnormalities associated with glucose and lipids by enhancing ins...
