BOOK REVIEW :- 
I received this book from a promotional website to review it.
Talking about this book, the author has created a world of fantasy.
Children would love to read this book! 
The whole environment/atmosphere created by the author is amazing ,the story is inspired from the Hindu Epic -Ramayana 
There are many inspirational messages also given - Like invoke your inner energy.

The story revolves around the protagonist Arya , he is a young child. 
In childhood ,his mother used to tell him many stories from Ramayana.

Once an unfortunate accident happened with her mother and he held himself responsible for that.He will have to fight against it ,to get her mother back .He had to come face to face with the demons.
Ravana had wanted her to die because she had done her bit to kindle the Rama inside him,something that was quite opposite of the demon's master plan.
Arya of Ravana's passion.

He caught the glimpse of Hanumana hovering up in the sky.Now he is ready.

I WOULD RATE THIS BOOK 4 OUT OF 5 STARS.

BOOK REVIEW: Rukhsat The Departure by Sujit Banerjee


" Twenty-six alphabets, twenty-six names, and twenty-six short stories. Each exploring one unique emotion, taking you into the dark recess of the mind. Some frothy and most of them dark. Most standing alone and some facing a mirror, where the same story comes alive in two different ways, through two different protagonist . Meet myriad characters - from the single-minded prostitute to the man on the railways station bereft of any memory; a woman desperate for a biological child to a dead man's trial. Meet a jealous lover with a twisted brain and a gay man's memory of a one-night encounter. Meet twenty-six such characters arrested and sentenced for life inside the pages of a book. Each one leaving an indelible mark on your soul.. "








BOOK REVIEW: - I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

There are overall 26 stories arranged alphabetically A to Z , some standing

alone, and some chatting up with their long lost friends. All the story are engaging and will grab the attention of readers.Its a blend of emotions, feelings of anger,darkness,betrayal.
There is a mixed feeling of nostalgia and curiosity.
The stories are short & some may seems to be incomplete.


Where a story stops, another one begins. The thing with them is they never walk alone. They always walk with a group of friends. Each reaches its own climax.

Each character is sketched very well.The writing style is very impressive that adds to the beauty of the book.

I would give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
