Book Review - Pursuit Drawn By Destiny

Title - Pursuit Drawn By Destiny Author - Pooja Poddar Marwah Publisher - becomeshakespeare.com Genre - Romance(Fiction) ISBN - 978-93-88573-641 A well written story. Though the core is simple, the way the author has taken this story certainly deserves an appreciation. Firstly, I was impressed with the cover which portrays lot of meaning. It shows how both the sex - Male and Female are embodied within each other. This should be seen not from the aspect of physical intimacy but that of the universal truth. What did I like the most? I loved the way the story was narrated. It is elaborate and has captured the emotions of the protagonist - Kate Princeton in a way that could not be described in words. Kate had a break-up with Adit and vowed not to fall for any men. She owned a company called Semicircle Entertainment which was into event management. Her parents were happily settled in the US where they ran a restaurant called True Desi. She had two sisters - Riya ...

OMR is a buzzing place, all through the year and it would be apt to say that they are operational 24/7 owing to the presence of MNC's, Hospitals, Places of Worship and Attraction, Restaurants, Malls to name a few.Need less to say, there are lot many hotels and resorts in this stretch that caters to the needs of visitors who would want to witness something unique - be it with Food or Hospitality or the Services they offer. This is where Days Hotel,Chennai OMR stands apart. How and Why? Firstly, it is a part of Wyndham Group which has over 8,000 properties worldwide spread across 80+ countries.

Please note that they also offer Indian and English cuisine. Let me start with the Japanese Menu first. You could see that they have a wide range of food items available for Japanese customers.

Book Review - All Lies, Says Krishna

Title - All Lies, Says Krishna Author - J Rajasekharan Nair Genre - Fiction Publisher - FingerPrint Publishers ISBN - 978-93-8905-391-3 The two great Indian Epics has been written and re-told in many ways. Each one of them had their own and unique way of approach to the epic. We would have also seen them on television in various versions. However, All Lies, Says Krishna is certainly the one you wouldn't have come across. There are so many reasons to it. One of the main reason is the story is told by none other than Lord Krishna himself to his lover, Radha. Yes, The Lord is instrumental in giving out "Bhagavad Geetha" to Arjun but the narration of the epic itself, in his version is something unheard of. The story may not be appreciated by the orthodox Hindus as they may beg to differ to this version but we must understand one thing that there is no concrete evidence or proof about the happening of the epic, as has been told to us, over the period of fe...

Book Review - Princes Mandira : Destiny's Child

Title - Princess Mandira : Destiny's Child Author - Madhurima Jain Genre - Fiction/Fantasy Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978-1-64546-952-0 If you have ever been searching for a character which is equivalent to Bahubali, but portrayed by a female protagonist, Princess Mandira would aptly fit the bill. Trust me, when I was reading the book, the portrayal o the Kingdom, The Princess made me stunned and astonished as Madhurima has brought the sheer brilliance of magnanimity through her writing. I wouldn't be surprised if this is been made into a multilingual movie with the lead role being doned by none other than Anushka Shetty herself.  Coming to the review now. This is the first part of the two part series(prequel) and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it from the beginning till the end. King Raghavendra aka Maharana ruled HinduKush kingdom. He had eleven wives but one who was very dear to him was Queen Serenova. As the name suggests, she was not from India. When...
