The first thing that strikes you is the title of the book and you just cannot wait to finish the book to find out its significance. For me, a book is a success if it keeps me hooked and that is what this book did. The journey of Roshan is so relatable that one often sees their own reflections. The author has put in a lot of effort in sketching the characters that give them a sharp edge. Roshan, A

I don’t know what to say, it consist of 60% Thrillers, 30% horror & 10% comedy. So it was better if it had been thrillers as a layman person I would have expected equal ratios of the same. The book is a pre-signed copy where all the contributing authors have autographed it, so i can say something different. I wont say I was disappointed with the book, few story did gave me chills.

“Love, again” is a delightful read. The cover is picturesque, with all the dreamy colors and the title is self explanatory. The first story, “These lines of mehendi”, has been beautifully crafted but is predictable to a large extent. The narration is lucid, the expressions and dialogues give life to the characters. Lalitha is the protagonist opposite to Shrikant and both th

The name of the book speaks of something lost in time, or of some things perhaps forgotten. It is the debut book by the Half Baked Beans Publishing. I like this name. ‘Half Baked Beans’- to me it means something that’s in process, midway in the journey of ‘baking’, not accomplished yet aspiring. Many thanks to Namrata for introducing me to this wonderful collection of

Bhaskaryya has used a very easy and powerful language to convey whatever he wants. His narrative style in this book has been as if you are reading an autobiographical take on one's life. This makes the book more interesting. He has invested all the time in expressing different character, their thinking, their ideology and passing on a beautiful story to us rather than narrating useless conversatio

Before noting down my opinions for the book, let me enlighten you a bit about ‘Yama’.Yama or YamarÄja, is the god of death. In the Vedas, Yama is said to have been the first mortal who died. By virtue of precedence, he became the ruler of the departed.Naraka (hell) in Hinduism is referred as a place where the soul is purified of sin by its suffering. In Hindu mythology, Naraka holds

The cover is appealing in the sense its blue hues hints at the bland life of the people working in the aviation industry. As you leaf over and star reading, it picks up the pace.
