Heart Quake : Book Review





Book Blurb :

Bhuj. Circa, 2001. A city wrecked by a massive earthquake. 

They met after ten long years. Their hearts wrecked by the promise of togetherness that could never be. 

As love tries to bloom again in the unlikeliest of places, intrigue sets in. Fleeting shadows… Hidden eyes… Mysterious deaths. 

What will happen when the tremors of love collide? Will he make it to the epicentre of love? Will her heart quake? 

Only Heart Quake will tell…


My Review :


 A good novel must have five important elements; strong plot of the story, efficient character development, good flow of the story, language of the book and writing of the author. The plot of the story is quite strong; the main protagonists met during an earth quake in Bhuj. The book is failing a little in character development; I couldn’t relate to any of the characters. The flow of the story is fast paced; I’ve completed it in a single go. The language of the story is simple yet flawless. I had high hopes for the ending.

This is the debut novel of the author; I’ve faith in her that she’ll do her best in her next book. I liked her writing skills as well. I want to wish her luck for her next book.

I will give it 3 out of 5 stars for the plot of the story and the writing of the story. His is recommended to all romantic genre lovers.

About the author :

Ishita Deshmukh is, in many ways, a mascot for national integration! Born to Bengali and Gujarati parents, (who have a common Marathi surname) she grew up on a steady diet of Tamil culture and French literature in Puducherry. If that wasn’t enough, she is married to a Telugu bidda. She has this uncanny (and unnerving) ability to switch between six different languages in the course of a conversation.

LETTERS TO PAST (#6)










 ~~~~~~ Meeting and Parting are two basic elements of life; I'm glad that I met you guys... ~~~~~



Dear GI Team,

I’ve always considered the team as my family and we had shared a lot of memories. You guys are part of my sweet and sour journey in GI.  Let me start with how I got this GI. During my struggle days (to search for more work), I went to my manager and asked for more applications. But, he asked for my technologies and upon hearing that I know both JAVA and Mainframe a devilish smirk appeared on his face. And within a week, I got to know that I’ll be working in GI. 

GI was a male dominated area in those times and I got my KT in two days for one hour on each day. I also got a chance to meet the most talented person in our project. My struggle started in the initial days, as I was working on the most complicated applications and in a technology, I knew nothing about.  Whenever I had any doubt, I used to go to D Bhai, as he made me understand the thing better. With each passing time, people came and leave GI. I found myself to fit comfortably until one day; I heard I’ll be moving out from GI. 

 Nothing is constant; things are bound to change. That happened with me as well. I’ll miss you guys and I also know you won’t miss me that much. J But trust me I had always treasured GI team.
Let’s come to my team mates; D Bhai, the most humble and sensitive person in our team. He earned my respect during my initial days in GI.  I learned a new technique from him; how to eat naan using spoon and fork. Sometimes my main concern was how to handle his mood swings. Jhia; I had developed a soft corner for her from the beginning.  She is a chirpy little girl; who can make me laugh at her stupidity and cry during her emotional breakdown.  Rups; learned a lot during my mentorship days. You’ve a bright future ahead, now you need to be serious as the burden of GI is also with you. You’ll be handling both GI and Jhia (hahaha).

I truly love you guys; will miss our own party time to gossip hours, little PJs, ice cream times, the evening walk along with coffee, our first drink at Malva, the epic chai at Jugad and many more. I’ll be keeping those golden memories in my heart.

Some things are bound to change and this is one of them. This is not our separation; rather we’re moving with according to our destiny. I’ll wish everyone’s good luck. Please forgive me if I’ve hurt you at any how; nothing was intentional.

From,
Your ex-team mate in GI, who'll .give and take farewells from you guys... :D
