Book Review - A Rogue's Love Diary

 


Title - A Rogue's Love Diary
Author - Krish Gangadharan
Genre - Anthology/Romantic Thriller
Publisher - Author's Ink Publications
ASIN - B08T8B78W9

An unusual story which takes you all the way from India to USA and Australia and as the sub title mentions clearly, "16 years ago, a lie ruined him. Now, the truth will destroy him".

The book revolves around the protagonist Chandru Ramachandran who was blessed with brilliance and good looks but what happens in his life as and when it progresses is the story.

He chances to meet Devi Bharadwaj in Bengaluru. He instantly falls in love with her. He clears triplet foundation course with ease. His family members includes:

Padma Bhushan Parthasarthy Iyengar - Grandfather

Ramachandran - Father

Kalavathi - Mother 

Gayatri - Sister who is also a Doctor. 

Sharath - Brother.


As you see, they all hail from a traditional and orthodox family but destiny had different plans for them.  After joining B.com in MLE College, he becomes acquainted with Raghav Acharya, Ajay Agarwal, Nadeem Ahmed.


The very mention of School and College life and the carefree attitude would take us back to those days. The essence of little pleasures were captured perfectly. The first Kiss with his flame - Devi and how they started seeing each other is a perfect romance narration.


While Ramamurthy, the astrologer warns Chandru against love citing Dosha in horoscope, a blatant lie gets him to be taken to the police station. 


What was that?

Why was that sinister plan hatched against him and by whom?


Author was really careful while mentioning the scenarios back then wherein he has mentioned the usage of Pager. You would be surprised to know that USD around that time was just ₹36


Then there were characters like Dr Nagesh, Dr Brahaspati, Dr Pandian Durairaj. Dr Pandian proposes to Gayatri who readily accepts it without bothering about the caste he is from but faces a stiff resistance from her parents, as expected. They try to get her married to another guy. As they say world is small, the same guy comes in the picture after sometime when Chandru goes to Australia.


Wait! Did I just say Chandru goes to Australia?


Yes. He goes to Australia on a scholarship and hatches a plan to become a permanent resident and take over an existing business. As they say, "what you sow is what you reap", he gets cheated by a woman who takes all of his earnings in no time.


There was a beautiful relationship between Chandru and Lauren and even it fails to take off. Though from outside, he may look like a rogue as the title says, to me, he is the hero. Of course, he is the hero of he story and the struggle he goes through was captured candidly in this novel.


So, a lie destroys his life back then and after 16 years, he gets to know something about his FIRST LOVE which devastates him further.


What was it?


Read this novel to find out. I must admit that this novel has the essence of all - Love, Lust, Sex, Friendship, Treachery and most importantly, relationship. This book is not suitable for kids...



This book is available on Amazon in eBook and Paperback formats.

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.
