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.

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 Digital Panopticon by Aditi Bhagat

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.
Language could have been simple for the readers to connect and understand properly.

I dislike- 

• Technical words.
