Book Review - The Illegitimate Dollars


Title - The Illegitimate Dollars
Author - Atul Sharma
Genre - Fiction
Publisher - Quignog, A PIRATES imprint
ISBN - 978-93-87004-23-8

This is a story which has captured the roller coaster ride of the protagonist - Arjun Singh. The book is a real good read despite being lengthy as it gave the real feel of reading a novel. The concept of "KARMA" has been emphasized in this which could act/re-act either on a positive or on a negative way as per one's action. The life of an aspiring middle class boy is explained in a vivid manner. The writing style of the author is compulsive and makes an appeal to the readers to understand the seriousness behind the situation. Atul had even hinted in the very beginning that it may not be a fiction, as is construed and looking at his biography, I felt that there might be a part or fullest of resemblance of his own story.

Coming to the story now. Arjun Singh joins a cruise liner and gets promoted in no time. He started facing hurdles right then which continues till the end. The rise in the grade and the pay would be a dream come true moment for any youngster but he thought otherwise. He gives his resignation soon after to pursue his dreams. In the mean while, he meets Sameera in an airline.

Who is Sameera?
What she has to do with Arjun?
What was Arjun's dream?

When Arjun was about to get his dream fulfilled, it gets shattered again. He gets arrested by the U.S. immigration authorities.

What sin/error did he commit?

Moreover some tries to injure/kill him.

Who was this person?
What is the enmity between him and Arjun?

Read this novel which has the ingredients of love, friendship,  compassion along with a tinge of suspense. The book is a real refresher. It appealed to me the most and needless to say - I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

Do not forget to recommend it to your family and friends as well. 

This book is available on Amazon

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
