<b><u>My Review :</u></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>About the author :</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "lato" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">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.</span></div>

Dear GI Team,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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. <span style="font-family: "wingdings"; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span>
But trust me I had always treasured GI team. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s come to my team mates; <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">D Bhai</b>, the most humble and sensitive person in our team. He earned
my respect during my initial days in GI.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>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. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Jhia</b>; I had developed a soft corner for
her from the beginning. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is a chirpy
little girl; who can make me laugh at her stupidity and cry during her
emotional breakdown. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Rups</b>; 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).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From,</div>

<u> Book Blurb:</u></h3>
When a kidnapper redeems his lost conscience and finds himself unable to
murder the girl he has kidnapped, what does he do? Fate is cruel to him
and good intentions are never enough. At the same time, a woman
dissatisfied with her existence flees from her home, not knowing what
lies ahead of her. But all things come at a price and she has a hard
path ahead through storms and fire. Watch how fate has entwined these
lives together, into a song through struggles of conscience and
identity, through the deepest lows and greatest highs and through the
flame of madness and the stings of survival.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>My Review :</u></h3>
"Fate doesn't lie in our power and life is unpredictable." This book is perfect example of the above lines. I was amazed by the fact that this book is written by a fourteen year old as the writing style is quite matured.<br />
<br />
Perfect characterization, effective narration, brisk sentences have added flavors to the story line. I've completed the book in one go. However, in the second half of the book the story becomes predictable. Subhashis Dey is a promising author. I would like to wish him good luck for his future as an author.<br />
<br />
I'll give 4 out of 5 stars.<br />

<u> Book Blurb:</u></h3>
<span id="freeText3511265717390227929">Ricky, a busy professional, is a blend of candid innocence and persistent resilience.<br /><br />He
takes the roller coaster ride of life studded with unique happenings
that, combined with his sensitive nature, give him the distinct ability
to observe, reflect, interpret and empathise with the individuals and
scenes that life has unfolded for him in its theatre.<br /><br />But how do a
derailed train, living with a physically challenged person, frolicsome
times with friends, a cigarette, the complexities of love and desire, an
encounter with death, early loss of a parent, a bout of paralysis,
ironies of the workplace and deep mental challenges at school contribute
to his interpretation of life?<br />A Pearl from Every Oyster is a
collection of short stories that revolve around the life of Ricky as he
embarks on the journey to find the pearls in every oyster life provides
him, thus moulding his personality to what it is today.</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>My Review:</u></h3>
'A Pearl from every Oyster' is a collection of short stories or events that the author has experienced. We all have some incidents that taught us life lessons likewise he has shared all the incidents which have left deep impact in his life as well as his thoughts.<br />
<br />
"A Friend in need" and "Austen's 5000 metres" are my favorite ones. These will make you realize the importance of some people in your life. The language used in the book is simple yet striking. For me this is such kind of book, I love to read while sipping my coffee.<br />
<br />
Roy Cherian Cherukarayil is a promising author. His command over words are beautiful. I'm waiting for reading more of his works.<br />
<br />
I'll give it 4 out of 5 starts.This book is a treat to literature genre lovers. I would recommend it to all the avid readers.<br />
<br />
~~~<br />
<br />
P.S. : I've received this book in exchange of an honest review.<br />

<u>Book Blurb :</u></h3>
<br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">"When Siddharth, a lonely young man with a failed marriage gets a sudden phone-call from a mysterious person about his lost childhood lover, Hazel, and learns that she is battling for life, he is shaken to the core. He also learns that she had left certain letters for him fifteen years back that never reached him. It disturbs him so much that he rushes to the hospital in his old hometown. There he discovers an eclipsed past buried in time that is riddled with dangerous surprises, trauma, twists of fate, sacrifices that exemplify true love and the real reasons for the tragic end of their childhood love story. But will Hazel ever open her eyes to see him..."</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>My Review :</u></h3>
'Key to My Soul' is a fusion of love, heart break, friendship, betrayal, partition, understanding one's mistake and getting over the past for a revive future. The story begins with Siddharth, the male protagonist getting physical assault and goes back to flash backs of his childhood sweetheart.<br />
<br />
The author has mastered in developing all the characters. I found different shades of the protagonists. Apart from protagonists, each characters have their own plot and matters to handle.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Things I liked!!!</i></h4>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>'Key To My Soul' is definitely a page turner. The book will demand your unrequited attention. The language is simple and the intrigue part has added flavors to the story.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Things Could have been better!!!</i></h4>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The pace of the flashback could have been better. Some incidents could have been avoided also.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g5IILa7L0RM/WXbcQAij3XI/AAAAAAAAB20/pUSVvhS6K0Mud2m_S4IU6mJXcztFN5-bwCLcBGAs/s1600/Probal-Pic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1066" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g5IILa7L0RM/WXbcQAij3XI/AAAAAAAAB20/pUSVvhS6K0Mud2m_S4IU6mJXcztFN5-bwCLcBGAs/s200/Probal-Pic.jpg" width="133" /></a><br />
I will give it 4 out of 5 stars for the poem in the end, which melted my heart and touched my soul. I'll recommend it to all romance genre lovers.<br />

Dear B Bhai,<br />
<br />
I hope things are going good for you. You've already found the right path towards your career. I'm really sorry for being late to write this letter. But, no more complains as I wrote it already in my diary.<br />
<br />
Well, my first impression of you was quite normal. I thought, you're a person with normal lifestyle and you don't talk much with people apart from your friend circle. That impression changed when I moved near your cubicle and became your cube-mate. I really admire your jolly personality and appreciate your patience, which you had after going through such a difficult phase.<br />
<br />
I'll really miss our fun-fights, your lollipop acting and your all mimicries. When you'll return to us as a manager, please don't forget to shower us good ratings. :P We'll definitely bribe you chicken lollipop. Lastly, our team will miss you and hope to see you on your marriage. :P<br />
<br />
<br />
From,<br />
<br />
your cube-mate, who'll bribe you chicken lollipop in future. :P<br />
<br />

I wish you luck for your future. May GOD shower you all the

My first impression of you was not so high, I smiled at you
and you simply ignored me... Yes, and after that I thought you’re full of
attitudes. That impression vanished slowly in our first team party. I’ve always
said this that you’re efficient in your work but little lack in social skills.
So as usual I made the effort for building our friendship. Here, we’re good
friends now (I guess!!!)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You inspired me to go in the path of my dreams and take risks.
But, I’m not as courageous as you. I know, it’ll take some time for me to be a
rebel. I wanted to say you this from last three months. ‘Lucky are those
people, who follow their passion. So you’re lucky’ People always leave some imprint on my mind, you've also left some. </div>

You’re one of my favorite mentors and you’ll be. Our team

Dear Blog,<br />
<br />
It's been a while, so I wanted to say 'Hello'. I went to watch the movie 'Dear Zindagi', starrer Alia Bhatt and Shahrukh Khan. The movie is rooted around a girl (Alia Bhatt) with her troubled life. You can correlate her problems with your own problems or you must have seen someone alike in your family. She came across a psychologist(Shahrukh Khan), where she finds the turning point of her life.<br />
<br />
I had never expected such matured acting from Alia Bhatt. The way she acted after her break up, showing her insecurities, not expressing herself much and showing all the trauma from her childhood. Shahrukh was the best choice for the role of the psychologist, as his charisma was needed to deliver the '<i>gyan</i>' about life in a cooler manner. I wish to watch more women centered movies in Bollywood.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"Don't let your torturous past cover your present to ruin your beautiful future."</i></b></blockquote>
<br />
The movie is deep with thought provoking philosophies and crisp humor. This movie will make you ponder as a parent, whether you've done some injustice towards your child. This movie will make you wonder, whether you've any special memories from childhood.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"Sometimes we choose difficult paths to achieve our dreams. but, what is the point of taking such decisions when we're not ready to face the consequences."</i></b></blockquote>
So true... Even I came across such points in my life, where I had taken difficult decisions, thinking that it's the only way out. The consequences of those decisions all went vein. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><i>"If you want to receive the love of life, then learn to love your life first."</i></b></blockquote>
I thoroughly follow the above line, I love my life in spite of it's roller coaster ride and all the surprises. I consider me as my favorite person in the world.<br />
<br />
Now, I know what you want to ask... And my answer is 'Yes, I missed you blog... I missed you so much... It was hard to rekindle with writing after a long break. But, after watching 'Dear Zindagi' I've decided to meet you first... '<br />
<br />
See you again blog...<br />

<u>Book Blurb:-</u></h3>
<br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">The trio—Amar, Akbar, and Anthony—had no clue whatsoever about their goddammit indecisive-careers-and-indefinite-struggles.</span><br />
<br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">And that was because they were born with the Peter Pan Syndrome and were simple enough to be tricked by anyone, including their mystifying girlfriends—Meghna, Farah, and Sarah. And as is the fate of all morons, they were drawn into</span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">trouble—deep trouble—of hiding crores of rupees of black money in secret offshore companies.</span><br />
<br style="color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Will their mistake of turning a blind eye to the philosophy of ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ cost them their careers and put them in prison? </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Or </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">Will Lady Luck change their fortunes forever?</span><br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>My Review: -</u></b></h3>
<br />
The story revolves around three best friends - Amar, Akbar and Anthony, who are chartered accountants. They finished their Studies and planned to open their firm together. The story is also about circumstances they faced, while chasing after their dreams. This is my first read from Jeet Gain and I'm satisfied after reading this.<br />
<br />
The language of the story is simple yet it'll make you think in a different sense. You won't feel any difficulty while comprehending the story. The character sketch and narration are well etched out.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Things I Like!!!</i></b></h4>
The innocence and bonding of three best friends will make you adore them more.<br />
The trigger of humour will brighten up your mood.<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Things I didn't Like!!!</i></h4>
The only thing which I didn't like was the length of the book. It's 400 pages, and sometimes I felt the story is little dragged.<br />
<br />
I will give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's recomended to all humour lovers. </div>

<b><u>My Review:</u></b><br />
<br />
"The Colour Of Love" is the second book by Jagdish Joghee. After reading the book "In love and free", I had set my expectation for this book and Jagdish exceeded it. I'm falling for this author's work. The language of this book is simple but it has its unique way to keep you glued. After some chapters you'll feel strongly connected to the protagonists.<br />
<br />
All the characters are well developed and the author didn't exaggerate any scene. I'm mesmerized not only by the narration of this book but also by all the chapters. I'm looking forward to read more from the author.<br />
<br />
There's nothing I found not likable apart from the length of the book. I wished to read more but it ended too soon. I must say this book has touched my soul.<br />
<br />
This is a perfect book for avid teenage fiction readers. I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars for its wonderful binding of love, romance, sentiments, twists and turns.<br />
<br />
<b><u>About The Author:</u></b><br />
<span style="color: #181818; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Born and brought up in the beautiful hill town of Coonoor in Nilgiris, Jagdish Joghee has always been attracted to the hills and the forests. Growing up in the midst of serenity, Jagdish had enough inspiration to write short poems during his school days. He now lives in the city of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu where he works for a leading global information technology services company.</span></span><br />

Being a closet writer, Jagdish’s writing was initially confined to journals and scrapbooks. He could not pursue his dream of becoming a journalist when he started working in the IT enabled services industry. Jagdish is an active blogger and writes on issues that have a social impact, apart from reviewing Indian movies. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 21px;">Shruthi has everything going in her life with great education, incredible romance, a wonderful husband, and two adorable kids. There is plenty of laughter, joy, and love in the cosy nest that Shruthi has carefully built. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 21px;">All is well till that fateful Diwali day when passion gets the better of reason. One momentary lapse threatens to uproot the entire foundation of her beautiful life. The stakes are too high as Shruthi runs the risk of being abandoned by her husband and losing her children too. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 21px;">And there is no one to blame but herself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #181818; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 21px;">Caught in a cesspool of blackmail, ransom, revenge and remorse, Shruthi is on the brink of collapse. She can run but cannot hide.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>My Review:</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Initially I hadn't set my expectation in this book. when I started reading it, I though it's a same story where a love triangle will happen. And in the end the protagonist will choose one. But, to my shock this book proved me wrong and the author Jagdish Joghee left me in spell bounded.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This book is a combination of love, romance, betrayal, suspense, emotions and much more. After the first few chapters, you'll get addicted to this book. The second half of the book has intrigue plot and it's wonderfully written.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I salute the author for his marvelous work in this book. The emotions of the female protagonist, Shruthi, is well portrayed. The story has a good pace but, I felt the last few chapters should be elaborated more to clear out some confusions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a page turner book, which contains elements like mystery, twists, romance, passion and betrayal. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. This book is recommended to all. </span><br />

<b><i>VICTORY IS TEMPORARY. THE BATTLE IS ETERNAL.</i></b><br />
<br />
Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine have fought valiantly to repel the rampaging hordes from Devaloka and Patala – but Avanti has been brought to its knees. Ujjayini lies battered its citizens are scared and morale is badly shaken. Meanwhile, the barbaric Hunas and Sakas are gathering on the horizon and cracks are emerging between the allied kingdoms of Sindhuvarta.<br />
<br />
The only silver lining is that the deadly Halahala is safe. For now.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span>
Bent on vengeance, Indra is already scheming to destroy Vikramaditya, while Shukracharya has a plan that can spell the doom for the Guardians of the Halahala. How long can the human army hold out against the ferocity and cunning of the devas and asuras? And will Vikramaditya’s love for his queen come in the way of his promise to Shiva?<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The deadly Halahala, the all-devouring poison churned from the depths of the White Lake by the devas and asuras, was swallowed by Shiva to save the universe from extinction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But was the Halahala truly destroyed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A small portion still remains – a weapon powerful enough to guarantee victory to whoever possesses it. And both asuras and devas, locked in battle for supremacy, will stop at nothing to claim it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the forces of Devaloka and Patala, led by Indra and Shukracharya, plot to possess the Halahala, Shiva turns to mankind to guard it from their murderous clutches. It is now up to Samrat Vikramaditya and his Council of Nine to quell the supernatural hordes – and prevent the universe from tumbling into chaos!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A sweeping tale of honour and courage in the face of infinite danger, greed and deceit, The Guardians of the Halahala is a fantastical journey into a time of myth and legend.</span><br />

<b><i>Note : I received this book from the author in exchange of an honest review.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b><u>My Review:</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
I'm not much into self help books but, I never thought this book will leave a deep impact on my soul. Inspirations, motivational quotes and key to success all wrapped up into a single unit present in this book. The author has emphazied on the power residing within you, which has the ability to transform you to a super hero. He has also highlighted the importance of positivity and the will to win.<br />
<br />
This book consists of nine chapters and each chapter is explained beautifully. I'm impressed with Dilip Bathija's work in this book. It is a quick read contains only 127 pages. The language is simple yet effective. I've a special place in my heart for quotations and this book has powerful quotes.<br />
<br />
This is one of my favorite ones:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise </i><i>my soul so high that the offence can't reach it."</i></span></b></blockquote>
<i><b> ~ Rene Descartes~</b></i><br />
<br />
I would like to give this 4 out of 5 stars and this book is highly recommended to all self help fans. <br />
<br />
<b><u>About The Author:</u></b><br />

These days I'm trying to stay away from romance genre. But, the cover and name caught my name. After completing it, I was completely and madly in love with Simeen, Nirvaan and Zayaan. This book is a beautiful realistic take on friendship, love, sacrifice and relationship. This is no ordinary love triangle, you'll fall for each of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Falguni has done a great job in describing emotions through words. All the characters are well etched out. The author did an awesome job in explaining the past as well as present without any confusion. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Dear Readers, thank you for coming along on the My Last Love Story Blog Tour. Here’s an excerpt to enjoy.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">ONE</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Love is a dish best served naked.”</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a child, those oft-quoted words of my father would have me rolling my eyes and pretending to gag at what I’d imagined was my parents’ precursor to a certain physical act. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At thirty, I’d long ago realized that getting naked wasn’t a euphemism for sex. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Neither was love.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It wasn’t my father wording the meme just now but my husband. Nirvaan considered himself a great wit, a New Age philosopher. On the best of days, he was, much like Daddy had been. On the worst days, he was my tormentor. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“What do you think, Dr. Archer? Interesting enough tagline for a vlog? What about ‘Baby in a Petri Dish’?” Nirvaan persisted in eliciting a response from the doctor and/or me for his ad hoc comedy, which we’d been ignoring for several minutes now.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wanted to glare at him, beg him to shut up, or demand that he wait in the doctor’s office like he should’ve done, like a normal husband would have. Khodai knows why he’d insisted on holding my hand through this preliminary checkup. Nothing of import would happen today—if it did at all. But I couldn’t perform any such communication, not with my eyes and mouth squeezed shut while I suffered through a series of uncomfortable twinges along my nether regions. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I lay flat on my back on a spongy clinic bed sheeted with paper already wrinkled and half torn. Legs drawn up and spread apart, my heels dug punishingly into cold iron stirrups to allow my gynecologist’s clever fingers to reach inside my womb and check if everything was A-OK in there. We’d already funneled through the Pap test and stomach and chest checks. Like them, this test, too, was going swell in light of Dr. Archer’s approving happy hums. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“Excellent, Mrs. Desai. All parts are where they should be,” he joked only as a doctor could.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I shuddered out the breath I’d been holding, as the feeling of being stretched left my body. Nirvaan squeezed my hand and planted a smacking kiss on my forehead. I opened my eyes and focused on his beaming upside-down ones. His eyelids barely grew lashes anymore—I’d counted twenty-seven in total just last week—the effect of years of chemotherapy. For a second, my gaze blurred, my heart wavered, and I almost cried. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What are we doing, Nirvaan? What in Khodai’s name were we starting?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nirvaan stroked my hair, his pitch-black pupils steady and knowing and oh-so stubborn. Then, his face rose to the stark white ceiling, and all I saw was the green-and-blue mesh of his gingham shirt—the overlapping threads, the crisscross weaves, a pattern without end. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Life is what you make it, child. It was another one of my father’s truisms.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Swallowing the questions twirling on my tongue, I refocused my mind on why we were here. I’d promised Nirvaan we’d try for a baby if he agreed to another round of cancer-blasting treatments. I’d bartered for a few more months of my husband’s life. He’d bartered for immortality through our child.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dr. Archer rolled away from between my legs to the computer station. He snapped off and disposed of the latex gloves. Then, he began typing notes in near-soundless staccato clicks. Though the examination was finished, I knew better than to sit up until he gave me leave. I’d been here before, done this before—two years ago when Nirvaan had been in remission and the idea of having a baby had wormed its way into his head. We’d tried the most basic procedures then, whatever our medical coverage had allowed. We hadn’t been desperate yet to use our own money, which we shouldn’t be touching even now. We needed every penny we had for emergencies and alternative treatments, but try budging my husband once he’d made up his mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“I’m a businessman, Simi. I only pour money into a sure thing,” he rebuked when I argued.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I brought my legs together, manufacturing what poise and modesty I could, and pulled the sea-green hospital gown bunched beneath my bottom across my half-naked body. I refused to look at my husband as I wriggled about, positive his expression would be pregnant with irony, if not fully smirking. And kudos to him for not jumping in to help me like I would have. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The tables had turned on us today. For the past five years, it’d been Nirvaan thrashing about on hospital beds, trying in vain to find relief and comfort, modesty or release. Nirvaan had been poked, prodded, sliced, and bled as he battled aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I’d been the stoic spectator, the supportive wife, the incompetent nurse, the ineffectual lover. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now? What role would I play now?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As always, thinking about our life left me feeling even more naked than I was in the open-fronted robe. I turned my face to the wall, my eyes stinging, as fear and frustration bubbled to the surface. Flesh-toned posters of laughing babies, pregnant mothers, and love-struck fathers hung from the bluish walls. Side by side were the more educative ones of human anatomy, vivisected and whole. The test-tube-like exam room of Monterey Bay Fertility Clinic was decorated in true California beach colors—sea-foam walls, sandy floors, pearl-pink curtains, and furniture—bringing the outdoors in. If the decor was meant to be homey, it wasn’t having such an effect on me. This room, like this town and even this country, was not my natural habitat, and I felt out of my element in it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I’d lived in California for seven years now, ever since my marriage, and I still didn’t think of it as home, not like Nirvaan did. Home for me was India. And no matter the dark memories it held, home would always be Surat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
“All done.” Dr. Archer pushed the computer trolley away and stood up. “You can get dressed, Mrs. Desai. Take your time. Use whatever supplies you need. We’ll wait for you in my office,” he said, smiling. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, I can cover myself, I thought. Gooseflesh had erupted across my skin due to the near frigid clinic temperatures doctors tortured their patients with—like a patient didn’t have enough to suffer already. Medical facilities maintained cool indoor temperatures to deter inveterate germs from contaminating the premises and so its vast flotilla of equipment didn’t fry. I knew that. But knowing it still didn’t inspire any warm feelings in me for the “throng of professional sadists with a god complex.” I quoted my husband there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nirvaan captured my attention with a pat on my head. “See you soon, baby,” he said, following the doctor out of the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I scooted off the bed as soon as the door shut behind them. My hair tumbled down my face and shoulders at my jerky movements. I smoothed it back with shaking hands. Long, wavy, and a deep chestnut shade, my hair was my crowning glory, my one and only feature that was lush and arresting. Nirvaan loved my hair. I wasn’t to cut it or even braid it in his presence, and so it often got hopelessly knotted. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I shrugged off the clinic gown, balled it up, and placed it on the bed. I wiped myself again and again with antiseptic wipes, baby wipes, and paper towels until the tissues came away stain-free. I didn’t feel light-headed. I didn’t allow myself to freak. I concentrated on the flow of my breaths and the pounding of my heart until they both slowed to normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was okay. I was not walking out with a gift-wrapped baby in tow. Not today. No reason to freak out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I reached for my clothes and slipped on my underwear. They were beige with tiny white hearts on them—Victoria’s Secret lingerie Nirvaan had leered and whistled at this morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Such a silly man. Typical Nirvaan, I corrected, twisting my lips. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Even after dressing in red-wash jeans and a full-sleeved sweater, I shivered. My womb still felt invaded and odd. As I stepped into my red patent leather pumps, an unused Petri dish sitting on the workstation countertop caught my eye. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The trigger for Nirvaan’s impromptu comedy, perhaps? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Despite major misgivings about the Hitleresque direction my life had taken, humor got the better of me, and I grinned. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Silly, silly Nirvaan. Baby in a Petri dish, indeed.</div>

<br />
I belong from a middle class family, so I always go for a trendy, reliable and budget friendly car. After some recent research I found a car, which matched my expectations. Nissan presents Datsun redi-Go, which has a trendy look, energetic attitude, budget friendly, multi features and brand's reputation. After spreading its charisma in worldwide, it has come to India. The pre-booking has started and the launch date is set to 7th of June.<br />
<br />
I'll share some eye catching features which made me want to have it and I'm pretty sure these features will make the hatchback competitive in market.<br />
<br />
The hatchback is quite attractive in terms of style, when it comes to <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">look</span></i></b>. The makers invest quite an effort to make it standalone. Today's generation get easily attracted towards stylist models and the look of this model will give you a ready to go vibe. I can simply put Datsun redi-Go is for those, who are passionate and very particular about 'the look and feel' of the car. The high ground clearance of redi-Go will help you to encounter less obstacles faced in the street.<br />
<br />
The interior is wide and spacious. The fabric inside Datsun redi-Go is inspired from sport cars, which will make the people comfortable. The dashboard will give you a modern touch. Datsun redi-Go has 5-speed manual transmission, that will give you a smooth control and will led you smoothly with according to your demand. It will make you feel energetic along with proper <b><i><span style="font-size: large;">comfort</span></i></b>. The dashboard will display the fuel remaining, average mileage and much more things. The good thing about this hatchback is the air conditioner has optimized with accordance to the Indian climate. In other words it'll make the passengers comfortable.<br />
<br />
Dtsun redi-Go has great <b><span style="font-size: large;"><i>performance</i></span></b> in terms of fuel economy and engine. I always go for 'lesser fuel and longer drive'. The engine has the capacity to give you a knocking-free, great performance by adjusting the spark timing in response to the power requirement. <br />
<br />
I would love to take a test drive in Bhubaneswar, my home town. As I've faced various types of roads in Bhubaneswar, starting from spacious to clumsy roads and national highway to dirt roads. I would test it for safety and comfort as I have already fallen for its looks. I want all the stares on me while I drive it.<br />
<br />
This is a ready to go car, as the features will led you to drive comfortably, look stylish and being assured of your safety. So these're the facts which'll help me to beat my urban drive blues. I want to go on a long drive with Datsun redi-Go. <br />
<br />
I would say Datsun redi-Go is an ideal buy for middle class Indian family as well as the youths. Because price is the primary reason for which the people will buy it. Apart from that, the stylish look, safety feature, fuel economy will also be the reasons for which people will get attract towards it. I have already kept it in my 'bucket lists of Wishes' and I'm sure this car will rock in India also. <br />

I've come across hundred or more numbers of Bollywood/Hollywood movies and more than thousand numbers of characters. Some characters are put thoughtfully, some with little comic element, some with negative aura and some are portrayed colorfully. Some characters touch our soul and make their places in our heart, where as some make us hate them from the bottom of our heart. I had already posted the list of my favorite <a href="http://shinningappy.blogspot.in/2016/01/peppy-characters-from-bollywood-movies.html">peppy characters from Bollywood Movies</a>. Here I'm going to reveal my most favorite character and once I dreamed to become like her.<br />
<br />
Tada... She is Geet from Jab We Met...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vtoEMx9hAKQ/V0xDMiNQXPI/AAAAAAAABks/KLR-Lic_UxMKhxGi6LZFPVasSDRpE-ATgCLcB/s1600/kareena-kapoor.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vtoEMx9hAKQ/V0xDMiNQXPI/AAAAAAAABks/KLR-Lic_UxMKhxGi6LZFPVasSDRpE-ATgCLcB/s640/kareena-kapoor.png" width="512" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
She is warm, cute, chirpy and best known for her carefree attitude. She knows how to get her things done. Remember, she finally managed to convey Adity to drop her home with her suitcase (laughs).<br />
<br />
<b>Here are my reasons, what I like about her :</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>She solely believe in speaking her heart out despite of the place or situation or the current atmosphere. It doesn't matter whether anybody is listening to her or not. <i><b>According to Geet, if you feel like talking, then you shouldn't care for the audience.</b></i></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><i>She loves to take risk.</i></b> Remember, when she told Aditya that "life is my favorite game. What's your?" She's brave, as not all of us have the courage to elope from house to get married and again plan to return our house after marriage. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I love her <b><i>'Just Imagine</i></b>' before most of the sentences. and her dialogues like "We'll tell this stories to our children", "I'm my favorite" and "The MRP written on the bottle is this and you're saying 2 rupees extra!!!". </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Her boyfriend dumped her and eventually she realized that Aditya is the one for her. But, when her boyfriend came back to her life instead of setting with him, she choose what she wanted. <b><i>I like this fact to always go with your heart.</i></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />

Readers fell in love with Sneha and Nandini, two best friends who stuck to each other through heartbreak and joy in the bestselling novel, Right Fit Wrong Shoe. Now they are back in a delightful sequel that follows the two women as they begin the next phase of their lives in Mumbai.<br />
<br />
After a failed marriage, Sneha, a single working mom, has no time, or inclination, for love. She resists every matchmaking attempt made by the overzealous Nandini, married to industrialist Aditya. But then the past intrudes in the form of the gorgeous and rich, Nikhil, who brings along Gayatri to break-up her ex-fiance, Aditya's marriage. Sneha enlists Nikhil's help to salvage the situation. But how does she even talk to a man who clearly loathes her? As Nikhil and Sneha try to grapple with their egos and combustible chemistry, love blossoms.<br />
<br />
Wrong Means Right End, an exuberant story about love and friendship, is filled with surprises and a wicked twist at every turn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>My Review:</i></b></span><br />
<br />
"Wrong means Right ends" focuses on Sneha, a single mother who lives in Mumbai with her kid. Sneha with the help of her best friend was able to move past her unhappy married life. Meanwhile, she meet Nikhil, with whom she has some past. And together they take vowed to save Nandini and Adi's marriage life.<br />
<br />
This book is a quick read and all the incidents and characters will make the page turn. This is my first book from Varsha and she met my expectation level. Varsha Dixit seems a promising author. She has detailed every scene, but didn't exaggerate it.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Things I liked!!!</i></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Well, apart from the strong story line, all characters are well etched out.All the incidents are likable and I relate it to Bollywood also. The writing style is good in terms of describing each and every scenes.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b><i>Things I didn't like!!!</i></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>As a reviewer, I find some editing flaws and the writing style can be improved a little. I hope she'll overcome these in her next book.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Apart from the flaws, this is an interesting read. All the protagonists, incidents and the story line will never let you keep down the book. This is highly recommended to all romance, Bollywood fans. You'll like its twists and turns. I'll give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The deadly Halahala, the all-devouring poison churned from the depths of the White Lake by the devas and asuras, was swallowed by Shiva to save the universe from extinction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But was the Halahala truly destroyed?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A small portion still remains – a weapon powerful enough to guarantee victory to whoever possesses it. And both asuras and devas, locked in battle for supremacy, will stop at nothing to claim it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As the forces of Devaloka and Patala, led by Indra and Shukracharya, plot to possess the Halahala, Shiva turns to mankind to guard it from their murderous clutches. It is now up to SamratVikramaditya and his Council of Nine to quell the supernatural hordes – and prevent the universe from tumbling into chaos!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A sweeping tale of honour and courage in the face of infinite danger, greed and deceit, The Guardians of the Halahala is a fantastical journey into a time of myth and legend.</span><br />
