As usual he was like all other boys .

Vikram was his best friend . He was a dreamer and thinker.

BOOK REVIEW: -  

This book belongs to horror/thriller category.

It was a fast read. I finished reading this book in 3 hrs.

The writing was simple.

This book can be transformed into a short film or full included film. 

In any case, it could be made all the more intriguing if more bends and turns can be included. 

The story was bit exhausting in the middle of. 

The story rotates around the hero Apurva, his wedded life transformed into a fiasco when the couple had gone to vacation. The wedding trip is dependably a wonderful minute for a large portion of the general population, however, for this situation, it moved toward becoming them the most upsetting occasion of his life.

BOOK REVIEW:- I  found this story sweet, inspiring and adorable. 

The story is locked in. It will unquestionably keep the perusers snared on to the book. 

I was astounded to see lovely sonnets in the middle of the story. 

The end was extremely passionate and touchy.It was extremely upset, Heart-twisting story. Possibly you will begin crying subsequent to understanding it. 

I really cherished this book with all my heart!.... 

What I felt is that the ad spot is not up to the check, might be it's not finished. 

The story spins around the hero Aayan. 

Aayan adored Siya, yet she hurt him and left him broken.Aayan believed that Siya doesn't comprehend his adoration and affections for her. 

So Aayan tries to overlook her and move promote in his life. He moved toward becoming IPS officer. Before long Samaira comes throughout his life and She cherishes him excessively, they chose to wed each other. 

After some days, they become acquainted with that while passing on Siya left a letter for Aayan. It contained her actual affections for him , where she communicated her adoration . 

She would not like to ruin Aayan's life as she was experiencing blood tumor. So she kept it mystery. 

This episode left Aaayan desolate and loaded with torment. 

Life must be lived, regardless of how much agony and enduring it gives . 

Love is Immortal, genuine romance never bites the dust. 

Love can't be characterized , it is something delightful which can't be clarified in words.

I recommend this book to everyone.

Overall its a nice read :- 4.5/5 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.

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.
