Title - Khan Vs Kahn Vs Kanh Author - N.S.Ravi Publisher - NotionPress Genre - Fiction ISBN - 978-1-946129-66-6 To begin with, I must give the disclaimer which is already been given by the author - The story does not resemble any of the Khans of the bollywood and none of the other characters resembles any of the living person though you may get some connect. I must say honestly that I was stunned by the story line especially when the author claims that he has not visited any studio or sets to see film shooting but has given an extensive story line which is simply amazing. Though I felt that the length of the story may have been reduced to a little extent, I also understand that the story what I read is already a shortened one and hence I would not be judging the story on its length which may make it little boring. What I liked the most is the uniqueness of the story. Having read not less than 1,000+ stories, I can certainly vouch that his story is really u...

Title - Gradients Author - Swatii Chandak Genre - Poems Publisher - Half Baked Beans This is the second poem collection I have read in the recent time and reviewing about it. The first one was by Richa Saxena of " The Soul Charmer ". This book is equally an interesting read. Swatii Chandak has brought in a new dimension to the poems through this book. The book is divided into 4 parts 1. Inhale 2. All in Between 3. Exhale and 4. Poetic Saga Each part has a collection of 13 poems each with the final one - Poetic Saga has 1 which is the collection of all in one. The book starts with a bang with the poem Intensity. What I liked in particular about the book is the usage of illustration in appropriate places which makes it even more interesting. Accolades is one such poem where you would find the picture of a trophy with tears in its eyes. Even though the structure differs from one poem to the other,it does not fail to appeal or connect with th...

Being Friday, I could not ask for anything more than this. Wondering why did the statement appear in the first line rather than being posted in the end? It shows how much my tummy holds making my brain work the other way round. Jokes apart, let me come to the subject. Today (5th Jan 2017), I had been to Flower Drum, Adyar along with few of my friends. We were there by 1 PM and started ordering our foods. By the time we finished it, the time was close to 3:30. Few things before going further: Flower Drum Adyar is a franchisee of the actual brand with the same name which is situated in Egmore. Adyar branch is close to Aavin Park and is on the 4th floor of the ICICI Bank building. They also have enough parking facilities and hence you need not have to worry about parking your 2/4 wheeler. What did we order? We ordered lot of delicacies. You may take a look at some of the pics given below: I would like to highli...

The book was written by two eminent personalities namely Soli J Sorabjee who was the former Attorney-General for India and Senior Advocate - Supreme Court of India & Arvind P Datar who is the Senior Advocate, Madras High Court The idea to bring out this book was conceived in 2004 and was first published in 2012 which shows how much of hard work has gone into bringing out this legal treasure trove. The book talks about one of the greatest advocate India has ever seen - Nani Palkhivala It talks about how he gave importance to time management and becomes visibly annoyed when the time punctuality was not adhered. I was surprised by his sheer dedication where he...
