BOOK REVIEW: The Claim by Sanjay Bordia

"The recent foray of '3M Chandani Group' into the life insurance sector is besieged with a large insurance claim. All evidence and documents are in order but there is an eerie feeling that something is not right. The case lands on the table of 'Mohan Mohanty', the ace internal auditor of the group. Will Mohan be able to unearth the truth? Laila and Iceberg, two trusted assistants of Mohan, are confident that with Mohan at the helm, truth need not worry. The investigation takes Mohan and his team to a village hospital where the compounder Tara Nath fixes the posting of doctors. The team of auditors meets Madan Prasad, a sculptor who creates wax statutes which can chase London's Madam Tussaud out of business. The team has to find out whether branch manager, Sunil Shinde, is a victim or a culprit. Time is running out since the Mehra family, the parents and brother of the deceased, are threatening to go to the media and the courts, if the settlement of the insurance claim is delayed further. Mohan has to act fast and come out with clinching evidence or pay the insurance claim of Rs. 10 Crore.

BOOK REVIEW:- I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

In the newspaper ,there was the headline of a small news item . The death of a young man named Prabhat Mehta could get in the national newspaper’s state edition.

This case was examined by the internal auditor Mohan.

Mohan Mohanty, the internal auditor for the entire 3M Chandani group, had a great reputation. Almost all businesses of the group had a tale to tell of his investigative skills. 

Looks like a very good case of very bad luck.

Though on the face everything looks normal, but there was something unusual. The death of the insured person within three years of taking insurance deserves a thorough checking. It is as per the rules of the insurance business.

It is interesting to find how Mohan investigates the case along with his assistant Laila and Iceberg.

"Every act has three parts - beginning, middle and 

the end. Birth certificate was the beginning, school 

certificate was the middle and death certificate was the 

end. All acts were perfectly in place."

There were so many twists & turns, it made my head spin! If you are looking for a good suspense, this is definitely a great choice! The story was so much addicting that once you’re in, you won’t stop until you reached that last line. 

Words don't describe how amazing the book is. It's a fun read .I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.  A fantastic debut. A Must Read.

BOOK REVIEW: Kaliyug: The Secret Plot by B.S.Sarwagna Kumar

If you think humanity has lost its meaning, greater darkness is on its way. What could have happened in the past that made our present to be in this way? And how would our present society demolish the future to crumbles? This is war; war between the first devil, and his nemesis...war between religion and divinity of 'spirituality & knowing'...war between cruel hearted and kind ones. This is the war of KALIYUG. An army consisting an axe, a sword, a horse, great wisdom, and the remains of a dead child, is coming to slay the first of evil, and his minions. Pick your side. Good, or evil? Respect, or rape? Kindness, or cruelty? Come join Kaliyug's secretive battle with its twisted secretive plot!






BOOK REVIEW :- 
The story is completely based on Hindu mythology.
The plot is awesome and rich and full mystery, suspense, and twists and turns. 
There was interconnections between Parashurama, Agastya, Rama, Krishna, etc.


The book is boring in between.

I think author has done lot of reserach before writing this book.
What a amazing description of all characters seemed like so real.
There were so many things in this book that it was just a mess though u will get to know many things about Vedas, Gods,Kalyug.

The four Yugas are namely Krita Yoga (ruled by the time lord called Satya),Treta Yuga (ruled by the time lord called Treta),Dwapara Yuga (ruled by the time lord called Dwapara) and Kali Yuga or called Kaliyug ,ruled by the demonic time lord called Kali.

This book is a fiction. Part1 contains the story that has happened so far and Part 2 in this book is based on the story that was predicted in 'Bhavishya Purana','kalki Purana','Vishnu Purana' etc.This is not just a tale of good fighting against evil.This is not just a religious story.It contains the quintessential facets of love,compassion,and a Promise;for which everything is to be sacrificed.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

BOOK REVIEW: The Soft Target by Kalyan Nanda

Is God good? Or is He a manipulative villain who plays with the lives of his creations in the name of karma? As far as Mohan Mishra is concerned, God is a villain. Mohan is God's soft target, for He 'blesses' him with a strange mental problem and kills his support system when he needed it the most. The Soft Target is the story of a boy's journey into manhood, as he takes on God with his mental prowess, defeating Him at every stage, thus making God his soft target. Supported by great friends and a loving wife, Mohan fights an epic battle against the murderous society, the conniving legal system and ultimately God himself, with remarkable courage and spirit.









BOOK REVIEW:- The story revolves around the protagonist , he was suffering from a disease. Mohan has some mental problem. He keeps saying things that have no meaning.Some people considered him mad. His parents were concerned about him and made him checked by the doctor. Mohan was oblivious to his parents’ condition. Sometimes, God gives you a
peek into what’s going to happen to your life but you never
realize it.
A boy like this would have ideally got into depression. Our society does not take kindly to such mental problems or for that matter any mental problem.Doctors also surrendered and said that there is no treatment for it. He will have to live with this, he needs a counselor, an physicatrist counselor.

As usual, Mohan was good in studies and used to top in his class. Mohan was such a disciplined
student that he did not have to be monitored.  His parents had not even arranged a tuition teacher for him. All that Mohan had achieved was a result of his own hard work.

After some days, Mohan's parents were died in an accident when they both were going to visit Shiv Mandir.This was the first time when Mohan broke.

Will he able to survive and tackle all the obstacles coming in his way?Will he able to succeed in his life and proof himself?  Will his hatred towards God will become less?  

This story shows the struggle of a common boy like Mohan .His life journey.

To know more about the story ,Go and Grab the Book .

 I would rate this book, 4.5 out of 5 stars.

BOOK REVIEW: Bitchweed by Dipu Darko

BOOK REVIEW:-

This was a FANTASTIC short read filled with wonder. Actually, it would for all intents and purposes be a blessing from heaven for any film buff or even a dream darling. 

I adored everything about this book. At some point, you need to lose everything to locate the best. 

Extremely elegantly composed with phenomenal character improvement. I couldn't put it down and read it cover to cover in only a day.I read through the book, was much more astounded to witness a decent number of short and sweet lyrics all through the book. 

This book is creepy to the point that I will never go into a passage subsequent to understanding it. 

As it is clear from the ad spot, the story rotates around the focal character that is Alice, 

her sister had disappeared.There were excessively numerous recollections of Lily, her mind was turning forward and backward, from the past to introduce.The excursion through Kunzang run and interstate was difficult, there were numerous dim mountains.These streets were difficult and one must be continually ready. There were numerous decisions to leave, many to make. 

Alice was not set up for what was to come next. 

Where was she going? Will she ready to discover her? Will she prevail in her central goal?

To know more about the story, GO and GRAB the book.I would rate this book full 5 out of 5 stars.

A must read for Alice in Wonderland fans.

BOOK REVIEW:- 

The entire sort of condition that the creator has set is truly exemplary.

There is nothing more imperative to us than the security of your information and keeping your data totally secret. In this day and age, protection is more imperative than any other time in recent memory.

The story is set in China. The primary character of the book is Kris Zhang.Everything was associated and the story never veered off. There were turns and turns, it influenced my make a beeline for a turn!

The characters are decent, sufficiently grown with the goal that the peruser can associate with them.The side characters additionally get enough screen time.

The front of the book made it down generally the story was intriguing

I hate

Specialized words.
Some piece of the story I felt was dull and exhausting.

BOOK REVIEW:- I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.The writing style is impressive that adds to the beauty of the book.
This book really touched my heart.Its a simple love story.Not all stories are perfect.
Love should be pure, unadulterated ,boundless.
It remain eternal in our thoughts.
The plot of the story is very interesting and it will surely grab your attention.

The story is same like other usual stories ,college life, the best days of life. No boring uniforms,bunking lectures and watching movies,hanging out with friends,night outs and the best part ,our first love.

The story revolves around the protagonist Arjun, he first falls in love with Zoya and then with Meera.

He dont believe in religion and age difference that has rarely bothered him.His first kiss with Zoya has changed his life and the last kiss with her liberated him .Why did she feels so comfortable with him then with anyone else? Why did she smile and not stop him when he was flirting with her? And was she jealous with her girls around him?

That sweet feeling of love,such moments are so special no matter how and where they happen.Things were changed. With Meera,at least there was no religion and age issues.Also she belonged to middle class family .

I like- 

• Supporting character
• Way of Narration and writing was nice. 
• The suspense.
• Appropriate title for the book. 

The story was so much addicting that once you’re in, you won’t stop until you reached that last line. Climax is very catchy, I regret that I didn't read it before.I am definitely looking forward to read more from the author. I will rate this book 4.5 out 5 stars. 

BOOK REVIEW: Destiny of Shattered Dreams by Nilesh Rathod

BOOK REVIEW:-
I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the best book I have read in 2016.I think the book can be converted into a film.The title of the book is apt.
When the dreams of a Man is shattered, then how does it feels?

The story revolves around the protagonist Atul Malhotra ,35 years of age, chairman of the board and founder CEO of Tansmech Telecom Limited (TTL), a billion dollar enterprise.

As it is clear from the blurb.The story depends on how a young fellow's vocation initially rises, he accomplishes a considerable measure and in view of progress, he was not ready to control himself and see the evil presences ,so his profession falls and falls such that everything he could ever hope for is shattered,there is no real way to ascend in the two his own and expert life.His lost love,his little girl Ananya;Aditya his adolescence buddy;Anil ,Prem , Rakesh and Qazi, his accomplices at work.His nearness could never again comprehend the things he had done previously.

The time spends behind those dividers quiets the psyche in any person.Though the world outside handn't changed much in 2 years when he was imprisoned, nothing was the same.He was a changed man, and the greater part of that change had occurred in the initial couple of days at the prison.The enormous fine requested the court had knocked off every one of Atul's benefits, and even from that point forward, there was a considerable measure left to pay.

Quotes from the book:-
Life may throw devils on your path to success.Disgusted,you may take another path.It may not be the best path,not the most honourable path,bit is less evil to choose that path,because to achieve success,succeed you must.

I like- 

• Strong character of Atul
• Way of Narration and writing was nice. 
• Appropriate title for the book. 

I dislike- 

• Atul fights with Roshni because of Aarti
• The devil that ruined Atul's life,sometimes success can overpower you and destroy your life and image

BOOK REVIEW: She Swiped Right Into My Heart by Sudeep Nagarkar

She Swiped Right Into My Heart

by SUDEEP NAGARKAR

'In the event that you've never had companions, 

You've never truly lived' 

This is the thing that the book says and this is the thing that precisely inside this book. A story comprising the narrative of closest companions and love. 

She Swiped Right into My Heart is an anecdote about affection picked up and lost-and the mending energy of companionship. 

The story rotates around three young ladies, closest companions. Geet, Shibani and Tushita. 

Geet is a standout amongst the most disagreeable young ladies in school however she is closest companions with the excellent and looked for after Shibani. To win the prevalence vote, Geet readies a fanciful sweetheart of her. She realized that the mystery will blast out sometime yet till then she is enamored with her fanciful beau and she is getting much regard on account of her non-existent sweetheart. 

Tushita cherishes Andy, the person who gives her agony as it were. He is constantly possessive about her. At long last when Tushita chooses to separation with him. He gives her a hotshot and makes her life a major wreckage by gifting her extraordinary damage to her body and soul. 

Obviously, Geet's mystery turns out, and she is currently all humiliated in the entire school. However, at that point, Rudra, causes her in being her phony sweetheart. 

Vivaan, Tushita's closest companion comes to think about her circumstance and that she won't have the capacity to walk again so effortlessly. And afterward, he gives her a help. He turns into her quality and rouses her to attempt her best. 

Shibani detests Vivaan on the grounds that he is the companion of Andy, however, later on, she needs to trust that all men are not the same. 

Geet and Rudra fell for each other. Be that as it may, again a fiasco comes into both of their lives. 

Do read the novel to jump into the rushes of a flawless story, loaded with adoration, feelings, sentiment and excellent words. 

Best piece of the story is the journal of Tushita where she keeps in touch with her musings and her story in wonderful words. 

Vivaan turns into the saint of the story by winning all hearts. 

Shibani is solid and overcome. She is sufficiently solid to open up about her homosexuality. The book demonstrates a decent concentrate on this part. Much the same as men are pulled in to ladies and ladies to men, Shibani is pulled in to ladies. It's not her slip-up , she is not doing it purposefully. She is a human like every one of us.
