Want to read a good thriller? This is the book for you!  About the Author and the Book Amit Sharma, like any other IT professional (including me), calls himself an IT salve and I agree to it. But as an author he is wonderful. I’m so glad that right after Demons in my mind, I picked this book ‘The Woman who saw the future’. So, what is the book about? As the title says, it is about a lady who could see the future and uses her power to prevent many of the mishaps. The plot (without revealing too much) It is the story of Sapna who could see future, specifically major disasters in her dreams. The author tells the story in the words of not just one narrator, but in the words of all the people associated with Sapna, her parents, her friends, her colleagues. This book is an interesting read as one does feel and realise that seeing future is not always a boon. It starts with the news of Sapna’s death and how her family gets effected. The author has given a won...

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. Aron feels guilty but is determined to set things right and goes in search of the people. Three different stories and each of them a gem! The characters stay with you for long. I fell in love with each of them. Kudos to the Author for treating us with such wonderful stories. Go grab this book! I read the Kindle version...you can do the same.

Story telling is an art and Sudha Murty is a master of that art. For an aspiring author like me, who at times has big dreams and is tempted to use complicated words to impress others, her writing style is an eye opener. when you read the story, it is as if the words have flown effortlessly from the author's heart and mind. To tell the truth, if I write reviews for authors like her or Ruskin Bond, it would always be related to how I was taken back to my childhood days and how many of the incidents mentioned by them actually happened with me. In any case, let me go ahead with my thoughts. Book, Title and the Cover As the title says, it is definitely a story set in India. The cover page has a small girl with round eyes and a beautiful smile. You can actually feel her excitement with the background of an old temple. Hat's off to Priyankar Gupta for the illustration. The Plot Our author first sets a context on why she thought about the story. You can feel her love ...

How could you do all these injustice to us? 1. You showed us how shooting in India(Kerala and Andra Pradesh) can be done beautifully and technology can be used to its best!(except for 25 days in Bulgaria). (and we had assumed that nothing could surpass Avatar). 2.Be such a good story teller- and pause for almost 2 years before showing the world 'Why Kattappa killed Baahubali'?(probably the most searched question in the last 2 years). 3. Create characters so real- who remain with us even after the movie ends? Be it Amarendra Baahubali or Kattappa or Raajmata or Bhallal and his father or Avantika or Devasena (my personal favorite). 4. Dubbing in Hindi - (I leave out other languages). when we have a plethora of Dubbed movies, with pathetic dialog and songs..you came up with impeccable dialog-- Why? Who asked you to deviate from the set standards(read it as low std). 5. One scene and we thought you were getting over ambitious and would fail. But NO...that scene and ...

It gives me immense pleasure to write the Book Review for my friend Dr. Gagan Syal (Dr. G). I have known him for many years – first as my mother’s student, then as my husband’s friend and now as an upcoming author. Kudos to you Dost!! Coming back to the Book Review Book Title – Indian Curry with German Beer Sounds pretty interesting! It’s like the Fusion which we all are trending towards (Vidya Vox singing ‘Shape of you’ with ‘Ae Kabira’). Look at the title...Catch a glimpse of the ‘confused’ character on the cover page..one would feel an instant connect with the simple character. Theme/Concept – Travel Guide – cum- Experience Guide – Cum- Humor- Cum- Dr.G’s Advice. The Book gives you a complete view of what could NOT go right to what’s beautiful about the complete experience! I could totally relate to the language chaos; the mess ups and misunderstandings. Dr.G (as our friend calls himself) sums up his experience right from his Post Graduation Days to his work ...

A new Indian Author with a new book. Promos on FB looked promising. When I accepted to an honest review of the book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Once I completed reading it, I had just one word. ..Different!! Neelabh Pratap Singh holds a Promise. It’s good to see authors and that too new ones opting for a strong and different genre. Otherwise, the market is filled with the light-hearted romance. I will use my standard attributes to judge the book. Book’s Title – ‘The Resurrection of Evil’, the title is what attracted me. Translating to ‘coming back to life after the death of Evil’. How and why? One can make out that the book is a thriller. The Cover is equally interesting. The Theme/Concept – One can draw parallels with or see streaks of inspiration from the likes of Christopher C Doyle, Dan Brown. A lot of mythology mixed with events in the current world. One will meet many mysterious characters. An antique artefact goes missing and how the events unfold. As the stor...
