Book : Undelivered Letters Author :  J Alchem Rating : 4/5 Story and characters: Framework of the story is a relatable one, where a postman Aron and his wife discover letters not delivered for the past 20 years.

Book Review- The Highway Man by J. Alchem

Author :  J Alchem Time you spend with this gem :1hr Rating : 3.5/5 Book and the story: Two short stories, each with a twist. Our young author knows the art of storytelling. He keeps you hooked.

Book Review - Avishi by Saiswaroopa

What attracted me to the book? Firstly, a strong female character and secondly an uncommon one! Many of us have just heard of the Vedas, how many actually get into the details of who is who? These authors and books are the gateway for us to a different world.  I have read Abhaya by the same author, which again has a strong female protagonist. As an avid reader and a reviewer, this book was definitely in my hit list. Book Cover and the Story Vishpala from Rigveda is a warrior and the first lady with iron legs (artifical limbs). The cover art by Anirudh Sainath depicts both beautifully. The story, as has been described by the author and by all the reviewers is about Vishpala from Rig Veda. She has been given a name Avishi. The story starts with a young Avishi getting separated from her father. As the story progresses, one gets to visit Naimisha Aranya (Jungles of Naimisha), Ashtagani and Vrishabhavati. The Samiti, where the wise ones sit and discuss is depicted in a way

Book Review-Pandavas: The Tech Warriors

Authors – Anil Chawla and Debashis Ghosh My review should have lot many Hashtags, the way the new generation does to emphasize their feelings. The first one being #Proud – Coz both the authors are Pillar of one of the IT giants and I am a part of the same Organization. As we move, I will have more of these tags. Authors, Book Title and Expectation What do you expect from two people who spent years in the industry, who know the Principles behind it and who also have been pivotal in establishing and realizing some of the Principles? Obviously, a Non-Fiction with loads of Jargons and Gyan! What I assumed was translation of a set of the secret messages from Mahabharata for the techies. But...Tada…We have a fiction from two of the best brains in town! So, first battle won. They did surprise the reader. #BeSurprised  The Story It is a story of five friends and their journey in life and how each of them lives in a parallel world called the ‘Corporate Life’.
