The book "Seventh Cup" is one of the most mysterious books I've ever read. The story is full of suspense and twists in every coming page that makes the reader engaged.

Starting from Avinash, his story, his actions everything makes the book an amazing read. The characters were so well developed that it was hard to figure out what's fiction and what's going on in real world. In short, the book was so engaging and intriguing that one can be lost in it's imaginative world with the characters.

The book talks more about the Memory transportation of a being which is quite unique concept in terms of novel and stories making Seventh Cup, different from the rest.

Kudos to the Author for such a beautiful work.

By: Sanjay Singh And Rakesh Trivedi

Blurb:

सबसे अमीर आदमी के ख़िलाफ़ सबसे खूंखार साज़िश , आख़िर क्या है विस्फोटकों से लदी कार का रहस्य ? सबसे क़ाबिल CIU (क्राइम इन्वेस्टिगेशन यूनिट) की साख का सवाल 17 साल का वनवास काटकर लौटा CIU चीफ़ , इस ख़ूनी खेल का प्यादा या वज़ीर ख़ाकी का अनदेखा रंग राजनीति , जांच एजेंसियां , आतंकवादी , कॉरपोरेट और मीडिया की अपनी चाहत का मकड़जाल पता ही नहीं चलता कि कौन शिकारी और कौन शिकार ? अब तक की सबसे बड़ी सनसनी का पर्दाफ़ाश करती कहानी किसकी लगेगी - किसकी बचेगी?

Review:

What about reading a crime thriller that has twists and turns in every chapter?

I think that is what the reader loves when it comes to suspense and thrillers. This book "Criminals in Uniform" is a package of such events all across the chapters. The story highlights a crime scene where a explosive filled car is found in India's richest man house in Mumbai. The scene is all set up during 2021 when the world was already dealing with a lot of fuss due to Covid-19. The case went into highlights by the media and how the Police CIU unit came into action to find the truth behind the crime.

With every passing chapter the story turned more interesting and engrossing that I did finish it in two sittings. The plot of the book was very well set up with the magnificent use of words that made each and every event more imaginable to the user. It was more like a Web series or Film that was going on in my mind while I was reading it. The characters were strongly displayed and have played their part appropriately. The title suits the best with the storyline.

Talking about the overall experience while reading this book was awesome as I enjoyed the different angles of the story. Kudos to the authors for bringing up this masterpiece to light.

A Must read book for my readers!!!!!

Review of "Asht Yogi" by Ravi Ranjan Goswami

Book: Asht Yogi
By: Ravi Ranjan Goswami

The reason I got this book to my reading list was it's blurb that was too catchy. The circle of life is vicious and we all have a part to play but if we don't get answers to the way of life we don't actually live a life as it should be lived. The book 'Asht Yogi' revolves around the spiritual way to life. Reading this amazing work by the author has made me a fan of his writings. It may be short but to the point and magnificent. The story is about Guru Vishnudeva who creates an army of 8 (Asht) who would win over everything in the world; which makes the title the most appropriate one. The idea behind this book was to portray the values and importances of Yogas in our lives through the fictional stories.

Overall, the book is worth reading. A book that contains a life lesson.
Appreciation to the author by me and a lot more by my mother who enjoyed reading it.

Review of "The Native Aliens"

Book: The Native Aliens

By : Ravi Rajan Goswami

Blurb:

5000 years ago a king in India desired to go to heaven with his physical body and a Brahamarishi Vishvamitra sent him, but Devas stopped him on the way.

Review:

The book, The Native Aliens is a short story about the formation of a new earth alike planet, Sika.

How and what led to the formation of this planet?

The story starts with a twist when a gril appears on the smart tv of Raju when he was home alone. Making Raju and his family think that it was a spyware that caused this. 

Further, the story reveals the girl on the screen, Marsika, was from the planet Sika who came to earth to learn more about the people here. The story of Rishi Vashishtha, King Vishvamitra and Trishanku explains the urge show of power by the king that led to the formation of thia new planet Sika.

The interesting part of the story of the motive of King to die along with his body to heaven. 

Overall this short read was quite interesting and well written by the author.

Proper terminologies for scientific research of planet Sika and further more the style of writing adds to it's beauty.

A good read for anyone who loves short stories.

Review of "From Slave to Separate but Equal"

Book: From Slave to Separate but Equal

By: Paul Kalra

Blurb: 

A century and a half ago the first shots fired at Fort Sumter began the Civil War that claimed 620,000 American lives—more than all other wars the country has waged. In From Slave to Separate but Equal, Paul Kalra challenges the assumption that the Civil War was fought to end black slavery in the United States.

Review:

The book From Slave to Separate but equal, as the name suggests, is a Colonial Period History book that talks about the ancient American society. The Ancient American history events are very well explained by the author with the beautiful portraying of events through his words. 

The book talks about the four tried society, slavery system, the differences amongst the people of the society and how each and every event led to the freedom of the blacks. 

The blacks were denied their basic rights as a human and were living painful life similar to animals. The book gives information about various civil rights and the wars that led to the freedom of the people.

The Lincoln's Plan to the demon of the society and many such events are highlighted in the book with a well explained background f the situation prevailing at that time. 

The author has well researched about the events and the incidents that took place in the past through papers, books and many more which has made this book more clear with the flow of events. The author has been able to maintain the pace of the story in a great way that none of the events seem exaggerated or too crisp.

Over all, the book seems to be a lengthy one but has covered almost the most important events related to Colonial Period History. The language is easy to understand with almost no use of jargons. There can be no other title as suitable as this.

Overall, a great history book.

Review of Behrams Boat

Book: Behram's Boat

By: Adi Pocha

.

.

.

.

“Behram’s Boat” is a funny, whimsical story of one eccentric, cranky old Parsi's struggle to build a boat that will save his people.

And bring meaning to his life.

Not a modern ship, but a traditional boat of wood and sail, that will retrace the historic voyage of the Parsis when they first came to India. But this time, the other way around: from Sanjan in India all the way to Iran.

...

...

...

...

The book Behram's Boat is a perfect example of what a person faces when he is about to do something unique.

The book has one of the most unique storyline.

The characters are well developed and too strong that emphasize the Parsi culture in a beautiful way.

The book is quite intriguing and with proper twists and flat pace.

The language used easy to understand.

Overall a must read for a thrilling story.

Review of Gods of the Gods

Book: Gods of the Gods

By : Abhishek

Ragnarok: A prophesied end or a new beginning?

The book is a sequel of the dimensions series. Though I read this part first rather than the first two but this gives me a strong reason to go up for the earlier releases as it is mind blowing and remarkable.

I appreciate the author's creativity for writing the strong scenes in such a magnificent way that it engages the reader. The book is basically unfolding the myths and discovering the reasons for them.

The way the author has penned down the characters, like Odin, Badlr, Hiraku, etc. is what a best seller needs. The strong characters and a well going plot with proper crisps of ups and downs.

The story is long yet an interesting thing to read. If you have already read the first two books then I can say that this is a must read.

Kudos to the author, Abhishek, for writing this masterpiece.

Overall, a must read.

4.7🌟/5

Review of The Cord by Sredhanea Ramkrishnan

Book: The Cord

By: Sradhanea Ramkrishnan

Blurb:

“The greatest war we fight is the one within ourselves”, true to these words by Eric Christopher Jackson, ‘The cord’ is a personification of wars waging inside each individual in the turbulent background of 1947, with the imminent partition and the strife-torn Indian nation. As European colonists raided the world and ‘civilised’ the indigenous inhabitants, the mark they left didn’t just stop with the unruly borders and westernized organizations. As India woke up to her independence on 15th August 1947, unfortunately, her sons and daughters watched the dawn, hazed by Indo-Pak partition, communal riots, mass killings and much more. But these gores are no match to the souvenirs left in personal lives and families of the common public of the twin nations. The ones that their subconscious holds on to, till date. ‘The Cord’ follows Jamedar Ashraf Ullah, of the British Indian Army, whose family moves to Rawalpindi, leaving behind more than just traces of his lineage and Major Azad, 11th Kumaon Infantry, who gets a chance to right a wrong he had committed almost two decades ago. What would Major Azad choose? Guilt over duty? Kinship over comradery? or Love over all else? Is everything really fair in love and war?

Review:

The book revolves around the Indo-Pak war of 1947. The situation was deadly and families parted away.

How lives were shattered and each one of them dealt with dilemma.

The author portrays the life of people in armed forces. Their families deal with emotions of loss, war and love.

The characters are portrayed well and have been developed with a strong tinge of emotions and literature.

The words used are simple but the storyline is so damn amazing that one feels lost in the imaginary war zone of The Cord.

I appreciate the plot and flow of scenarios in the book which was a perfect blend of emotions and characterization.

Overall, a must read for all.

For the book!!

Book Review of Invincika By Varun Sayal

Book: Invincika 

Superheroes of the multiverse

By: Varun Sayal

Multiverse, the most booming topic in today's world. We all have heard of it and imagined how life would have been in this. But what if your imagination was full of magnificent powers that could change the world and save it from threats?

The book, Invincika, is all about the superheroes of multiverse who have the powers to save the world. But then there was Ulka who was different from the rest and found herself inefficient until a ballistic weapon turned the table of her life. 

What do you think could have happened next??

Will Ulka be able to use her powers to save the world ??

All these questions are enough to ask you to go through this book.

The characters are interesting and the book is damn engaging I finished it in one go.

The plot is well maintained with the proper pace.

I liked the way author portrays the character of Ulka and how life can change in a go.

Overall the book deserves 5 stars and a must read title as I loved it.

If you haven't read it, buy it now from amazon.

Review of "Mool Mantra"

Book: Mool Mantra The Spiritual Path To God

By: Paul Kalra

Mool Mantra - The Mūl Mantar is the opening verse of the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib. It consists of twelve words which are almost known by all but understood by few. The author begins the book with these golden words and the indepth meaning of each word.

I being from a Sindhi family, who follow the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji found it to be a major readon to choose this book to read.

Having read the first chapter I realized that this is what one needs to read. We all must have heard about One God but do we actually know how he is or why do we  and many more questions.

The concept of reality and God is very well explained by the author. I would say this is the first book in which I loved each and every line and each and every chapter because of the pathit showed me. 

The book is based on the superior of all, The God. 

How can one find him? 

How can one change to attain peace? 

How one needs to identify the path that leads to God? 

All of these questions have just one answer that is this book, Mool Mantra.

I would like to share a line from the book that touched me.

Books have been written, but God cannot be written.

I haven't heard a better truth than this. We believe in books but all we need to do is to believe in the Almighty. 

Guru Nanak's teachings are a way to beautiful life. I believe spiritual life is what one needs rather than a fake materialistic life. 

At last I would like to thank the author for such an amazing book. It changed my way of thinking about God and Life. 

Talking about the book, the length was enough to keep you engaged and love it. I took a little more time reading it as I was able to relate my life and think about it. Each and every chapter has it's own uniqueness. 

Overall it was the best read ever.

Would highly recommend this book to my loved ones and my readers!!!

Review of "Fate or Destiny" By Arthy SL

Book: Fate or Destiny : Let the game begin

By: Arthy SL

Kavin, a tourist guide from Port Blair, Andaman, resides with his brother, Kiran. His obnoxious 

past leaves a deep scar leading to PTSD with Parasomnia and Aquaphobia. Though his days remain gloomy, he explores a whole new dimension at night due to his Parasomnia. A mysterious goat drives his fantasy world, steering him towards his destiny.

While he tussles to recover from his past, he encounters four girls who flip over his life. Someone who has only endured brutal tyranny witnesses the bright side of humanity. The frozen emotions of a 23-year-old pessimistic, introverted boy come to life only to fail his one desire due to his lack of empathy. 

Kavin yearns for a second chance to mend his mistakes. But is it plausible? Will an altered past lead to a different future? Fate or Destiny? Let us read through the story to untangle the knots.

Fate or Destiny as the name suggests the story deals with philosophical theme, mental health and memories. The story is set in Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the depiction of the set and the plot by the budding author makes it enjoyable to read. 

As per being new to the writing world the author has made great efforts to keep the writing style as per standards and to not run with the plot and leave it's pace. Each and every part was very well explained with the words that express emotions effectively.

I considerd it more of a rom-com novel as the descriptions were adding a funny element and the romance story was made amazing. The author tried to develop strong characters but somewhere it felt that this part needs some reworking.

The story is more of conversation. And the best part was that every chapter ends with a crossword puzzle which is related to the chapter. 

Apart from that I enjoyed readng it and felt it was worth my time.

Will surely suggest it to my readers.
