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

FATE'S DESIGN

Source : Google

 Book Blurb:

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.

My Review :

"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.

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.

I'll give 4 out of 5 stars.

A Pearl From Every Oyster: Book Review

Source : Google

 Book Blurb:

Ricky, a busy professional, is a blend of candid innocence and persistent resilience.

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.

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?
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.

My Review:

'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.

"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.

Roy Cherian Cherukarayil is a promising author. His command over words are beautiful. I'm waiting for reading more of his works.

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.

A letter to Granny

Pic courtesy: Here

Grandparents are the root of every family. They hold the family together in a single thread. I've not seen my grant parents at all. But, I've always imagined things related to them by hearing many stories from my papa. They left my papa, when he was in high school. The last days of my granny was quite painful for her as she was suffering from paralysis. If they were present, how much pampered would I've become. I had written a letter many years ago for my granny. I want to share it today for the #LoveJatao contest.

Dear Granny,

Happy grandparents day. Big thanks to you for taking care of my papa. I heard you loved to cook traditional dishes. Your dishes were quite famous in whole village. If you were here, then we could’ve been making traditional with western fusion dishes. I heard from many that I’m a replica of you. We’ve the same smile apart from the dimples and same complexion. But, do I look like you?

If you were here with us, then my bed time could’ve been the story time. I would’ve waited for your stories before a good night sleep. I would’ve been getting hot oil massage for my hair from you. You would’ve been telling me the childhood memories of papa. I also heard you were a movie freak at that time and a great fan of Dillip Kumar; we would’ve been watching his movies together.

You had missed seeing my birth, my first word, my first walk, my first day in school, my first award, my first day in college, my board results, my graduation day, my first campus choice, my first salary and many more things.  

I’ve heard from my friends that their grandparents are pampering them to high extend. I feel jealous of them. Why did you’ve to leave early from this world, I’ve this one grudge against you. We could’ve spent some valuable time together. We could’ve clicked some selfies together. I could’ve introduced you to all my friends. I miss you a lot. And, I want to tell you that you’re the most beautiful woman in our family.

Yours Granddaughter,

Who misses you every day.

Happy Grandparents day to all of you. Hope this day you’ll spend some valuable time with your grandparents; going back to the memory lane or chit chatting for hours or watching movies together or making their favorite dishes. I wish, I could do it all.

I look forward to hear from you how would you celebrate Grandparents Day. Do share a selfie with your grandparents on Sept. 10, 2017 on Twitter or Facebook with #LoveJatao & tag @blogadda to win a goodie from Parachute Advansed.

KEY TO MY SOUL : Book Review

Book Blurb :

"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..."

My Review :

'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.

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.

Things I liked!!!

• '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.

Things Could have been better!!!

• The pace of the flashback could have been better. Some incidents could have been avoided also.

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.

About The Author :

Probal is an IT manager by profession, he writes poetry and fiction. Hi poems have been featured in various national and international journals. He has been awarded the 1st prize for poetry in All India Poetry Competition 2014, conducted by Poetry Society of India. This is his debut novel.

LETTERS TO PAST (#5)

Dear B Bhai,

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.

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.

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


From,

your cube-mate, who'll bribe you chicken lollipop in future. :P

CONVERTING OLD MEN'S SHIRT INTO OFF SHOULDER TOP (#DIY)

Hello All, 

I'm here once again with another DIY project. This weekend I was organizing the rejected clothes, while a particular shirt caught my eye. I thought let's do something from that. So.... I converted my papa's old Shirt to my off shoulder top. 

Below are the steps for making it. Hope you enjoy it and share your thoughts on the comment section.

Materials you'll be needing:

• An old men's shirt (larger is better. Here, I've taken the Large size) 
• Scissors 
• Tailoring chalk
• Elastic band
• Sewing machine
• Measuring tape

Materials you'll be needing

Steps for making :

• Hold the shoulders of the shirt and fold it in half and also fold the sleeves as shown in below picture. Most importantly, make sure to leave at least one or two inches distance from the armhole. 

• Mark a straight line using tailoring chalk as shown in the below picture. I've taken 5 inch distance from the shoulder. 

• Cut he marked straight line using scissor. Take out the button near cut area, if any present. When you'll open the shirt, it'll make some angle around the sleeve area.You need to cut that part in a straight line also. 

• Now, you've to make a fold and secure it with pins or you can directly stitch also. The fold should be the combination of a small  fold and rotate that small fold to make a big fold so that the elastic can be inserted easily. I've used a sewing machine to stitch. But, you can sew it  by hand also.

Mama helped me little in sewing  the arm area  :D

• Take the measuring tape and measure the shoulder around, which was 38 Inch in my case. So, we'll take the length of the elastic as 30 Inch. Take a safety pin and insert the elastic into the hole which we made from the stitching. 

• After inserting the elastic, stitch the two ends of the elastic. Adjust the material as per your convenience. Now, your off shoulder top is ready. I've styled it with a belt. You can wear it without any belt also.  

My final look

"Once app-mates, will become strangers with some memories... "

Dear AP,

I wish you luck for your future. May GOD shower you all the happiness you deserve and may you taste the flavor of success in your career line. I always wanted to write a letter for you. Now, I got a chance. Don’t worry this is not a complain letter.

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!!!)

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. 

You’re one of my favorite mentors and you’ll be. Our team will miss you for sure. Please stay in contact and don’t keep grudges for any of my activities. (:P)

Lastly, study well and Farewell my moody friend...

From,

An app-mate, who will become stranger...

MY DIARY (#11)

Source: Google Image

Dear Blog,

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.

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 'gyan' about life in a cooler manner. I wish to watch more women centered movies in Bollywood.

"Don't let your torturous  past cover your present to ruin your beautiful future."

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.

"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."

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.

"If you want to receive the love of life, then learn to love your life first."

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.

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... '

                                                                                                                            See you again blog...

THE THREE WISE MONKEYS: Book Review

P.s: This book was given in exchange of an honest review.

Book Blurb:-

The trio—Amar, Akbar, and Anthony—had no clue whatsoever about their goddammit indecisive-careers-and-indefinite-struggles.

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
trouble—deep trouble—of hiding crores of rupees of black money in secret offshore companies.

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? 
Or 
Will Lady Luck change their fortunes forever?

My Review: -

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.

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.

Things I Like!!!

The innocence and bonding of three best friends will make you adore them more.
The trigger of humour will brighten up your mood.

Things I didn't Like!!!

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.

I will give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's recomended to all humour lovers.  

THE COLOUR OF LOVE: Book Review

Book Blurb:
Sarfaraz is brought up with a good value system by his devoted parents. With time, curiosity and adolescent growth pangs take him through many experiences. His first brush with girls starts with a friend, and slowly meanders into casual flirtatious affairs with girls at college. 

All through it, he realises that none of them have his undying, true love. A time comes when he realises who he truly loves, and in the midst of it all, he handles brutal enmity and takes on vile characters that misbehave with his friends. 

Sarfaraz's grows up in Coimbatore when there occur a series of bomb blasts. His identity is called in question, as his status as a Muslim makes people see him as an enemy. He loses something precious in the blasts and leaves to Sharjah, only for life to find him and surprise him.


My Review:

"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.

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.

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.

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.

About The Author:
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.

His passion for writing started early during his school days. 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.

IN LOVE AND FREE : Book review

Book blurb:

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. 
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. 
And there is no one to blame but herself. 
Caught in a cesspool of blackmail, ransom, revenge and remorse, Shruthi is on the brink of collapse. She can run but cannot hide.


My Review:

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.

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.

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.

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.
