Book Review - Prisoned In Love

Title - Prisoned In Love Author - Vaiibhav Nigam Genre - Fiction Publisher - Story Mirror ISBN - 978-93-86305-81-7 A beautiful story written in a more elaborate way. If you ask me the story, I can say it in one line. It is as simple as that but the way it was written needs an appreciation for sure. There will not be any spoilers in this. Rayirth Kapoor aka Ray is the protagonist of the story. He had all he wanted in his life. He got admitted to NYU where he did his MBA and gets into a top investment bank. However he attempts a burglary and gets imprisoned since he did not deny the charges. Why did he attempt burglary? Why did he not deny the charges? There was a flashback for this. It is depicted in each and every chapter where there will be a present and there will be a past combined. I wouldn't say this is unique but it certainly evokes interest as you as a reader would want to know s to why Ray did this. In the prison, he gets to meet few convicts...

An #IPL tournament for Women's Cricket - feasible?

We all have witnessed some real cricket in the recently concluded Women's World Cup and unlike Men's Cricket, Women't cricket is much regarded for various reasons which includes the match fixing and betting. Though it shouldn't be compared, I, as a commoner felt that this is what that makes Women's Cricket superior over Men's Cricket. Indian Women's team has not won the World Cup match so far and has been dominated by Australia followed by England and New Zealand. If only India would have on the finals which was splayed yesterday- 23/7/17, it would have been a fitting tribute for the retiring Captain Mithali Raj and terrific bowler Jhulan Goswami. The Women's Cricket team has been in existence for  while now but not much interest was given towards it by our Nation. It was Anjum Chopra who got some attention to the game with her brilliant knocks and captaincy. When Mithali Raj took over, it was a complete turnaround. She went on to bec...

What's the fuzz about Oviya in Bigg Boss?

Bigg Boss is a reality show which is been aired by STAR Group . After its initial success abroad where if you could remember how the bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty rose to fame all of a sudden due to racism. The only difference over here is, there is no racism. While there are many theories running around this concept where some brainiacs has effectively pointed out few flaw saying that the entire show is doctored and was shot in 10 days or so, I have no comments. I respect their findings but at the same time, we should enjoy the show in its truest sense and should not look at each and every thing with a suspicion. If we did so, there will be no fun element in entertainment field. There has been thousands of memes being created about the contestants each showing their own support to their favorite stars and the key word BiggBoss Tamil and hashtags #OviyaArmy and #SaveOviya has been trending for so many days which shows how much rage the program has created.

Book Review - The Wise Man Said

Title - The Wise Man Said Author - Priya Kumar Genre - Motivational/Self Help Publisher - Books That Inspire ISBN - 978-81-933912-0-4 Priya Kumar is an International Award Winning and Best Selling author who has been inspiring minds through her speeches and writing for more than 15 years. She is the winner of 10 International Award which shows the quality of content that goes into her book. When I got the autographed copies of all her books recently including her latest release "The Wise Man Said", I was intrigued by this title in particular though her other titles were equally compelling(so as the content as well for sure). I was amazed by the unique style of approach and writing Priya has adopted. Having read 1000's of books myself, I can certainly vouch that I have not see this kind of style elsewhere till date. The book gives you an in-depth knowledge about so many things that is happening around us which we tend to ignore or rather we are pr...

Book Review - If you never try, you will never know

Title - If you never try, you will never know Author - Sahil Mehta Genre -Fiction Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978-1-947137-07-3 This is a debut book by Sahil Mehta but I must openly admit that it never looked like one. The story is a compelling one with a strong message "Follow your passion"  The ending of the story is not the usual one but the one with a positive message that would certainly appeal to the readers. The Protagonist Robin Mehta was born in an affluent family and his dad always wanted him to join his business. His brother Suraj dies after having a spat with the father which shakes Robin very much.

She brings a positive energy in his life and they both fall in love which has be...

Title - Bhrigu Mahesh PhD : The Return Of Damayanti Author - Nisha Singh Genre - Thriller Publisher - Partridge ISBN - 978-1-4828-8899-7 This is the second novel in the Bhrigu Mahesh PhD series. I have not read the first one yet though I got a chance to download it just few days back and after reading this book, I cannot actually wait to read the first one as well. This is a 432 page lengthy novel but not even at a single place, you would find it boring since the author has written it so interestingly that you would not even think about skipping the pages. The story begins with an elderly retired Government servant named Nataraj Bhakti reaching out to the protagonist Bhrigu Mahesh asking him to help since he was haunted by his wife Damayanti who was dead a while ago. Mahesh take up the assignment after the persuasion from Bhakti and reaches his village with his assistant Sutte. They witness something unusual in the initial days and though Sutte was convin...
