  Title - Whimsical Poetry : Fiction & Reality Author / Poetess - Syeda Javeria Fatima Genre - Poems Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 979-888629846-8 This is a 41-page book that has captured the essence of being born as a girl in a society where they are not given equal importance as a boy. The number of pages may be less but the content it carries is truly a spectacular one as it sends some strong messages in a subtle way.  I liked the approach of Syeda who started this book with " My Belief " which made me realize that this book is no ordinary stuff. This book has ew illustrations that have perfectly gelled with the content.  Dedication to Mother is the one I liked the most. It brings out the essence of a Mother in a truly commendable manner. This book also speaks about Friendship Stargazing Alma Mater which most of us would have experienced in our personal and professional life. If you love poems genre, this book is something which I would certainly recommend. ...

  Title - Behram's Boat Author - Adi Pocha Genre - Fiction Publisher - One Point Six Technologies P Ltd  ISBN -  978-9354382215 A beautiful and completely different approach to the fictional character Behram Rustomjee. When I started reading this book, I could see the approach taken by the author which wasn't a usual one. I must appreciate his guts to have taken this route since you don't get to read a storyline like this often. I must also admit that I had fallen in love with Mr Rustomjee for the whimsical character he is.  Though he was born with a silver spoon, he gets cheated by his uncle who usurps his properties. That did not deter our man who went on to become an icon himself(not through physical earnings). He also has a caring daughter Persis. There are few other characters. I do not want to go into it deeply. First and foremost, I liked the narration style of the author. The way he described seekh kabab from Sarvi in Byculla wrapped in a newspaper, accompani...
