About the book

“Adulting “ by Neharika Gupta revolves around three characters Tejas, Ruhi and Aisha .
Tejas is a best seller writer and struggling to overcome writer’s block. Ruhi is working at Literacy Publishing . Aisha is a popular blogger .
Ruhi works hard to take the literacy to a new level . But her mother is always there to throw her weight about. That’s why she hides her relationship with Tejas.

On the other hand Aisha is a popular fashion and lifestyle blogger and lives alone in Delhi. Aisha has an external faith in her beauty. She joins literacy as Social media manager.
Ruhi‘s too much insecurity makes Tejas uncomfortable, and he breaks up with her . Soon he feels attracted towards Aisha .
Aisha is too much conscious about her looks and weight. As her weight increase she starts loosing sanity . She feels depressed .

My views

The book gives us a inside view of publication house . The struggle of bloggers also well reflected here. But the story is predictable enough and finished hurriedly.
Tejas ‘s unstable decisions about “ whom to date “ has made the story insipid.

It would be more logical if Aisha has consulted a Psychologist instead of visiting doctor only to control her diet.

I want to give this book 3/5 ⭐️

Sories of us !

The men are the strangest creatures . They harm themselves, other animals and the planet they are living in . They are obsessed with themselves only. Egotism over everything.

Stories of Us by Bobby Sachdeva is a collection of 41 short stories. Each story starts with illustrations related to the story and end with a question which will make you think about the problems from the chapter.

The stories here are a reflection of everything happens around us. Matters like corrupted society, financial turmoil, supressing of desire – more or less everything. This book is our corrupted society’s mirror .

The writing of the author is lucid and perfect for beginners. Though I personally think some stories are wrapped up in a hurry. But there are some stories, such as Sharpshooter,Nirvana which make you astonished

The Rape Trial

The Rape Trial by Bidisha Ghosal
Format- ebook

Publishing house- Notion Press
Rahul Satyabhangi is from high society . He was accused of raping Avni. Rhea was common friend of them. This case stirs the elite members of the society. Avni was soon sent abroad and Rahul was Vindicated at the trial. But this case can not change anything about him. Media appoint him as the flag bearer of Men’s right Activism.

Rhea is someone hardworking and ambitious and it helps her to meet Hitaishi and Amruta. These trio now take a step to change society’s view towards “Rape“.

“Rape“ is a subject which makes us feel uncomfortable. There are many reasons about that. The author, Bidisha Ghosal, has boldly voiced her views.

“The Rape Trial“ is a book which showcased how much the family of rape victim along with the victim to face in society. And not only them but also people who want justice to them. Each and every character is well researched . Plot is woven brilliantly and of course I have to mention that the sub-plots here are equally important . They have made the plot concrete.

My Views

From the starting the book felt not so interesting because I didn’t found any hints what’s coming next. I have guessed the scenario between the Trios quite well. But As the plot starts to change the book started to swallow me.

If you read this book you don’t only enjy a Murder Mystery but the reasons behind this murders will moist your eyes. Author has blended a dark side of our society with mystery and suspense successfully.

A perfect Murder mystery and A book which has raised questions about Casteism !

About the book

Future Tense by Nitasha Kaul is a story about Kashmir. The book is divided into three parts. The first part starts with Zeenat . Zeenat’s marriage didnt work and she came back to home with a child. Her family initially was shocked. They tried to fix it . Zeenat’s husband is another miserable person- an important government officer.

In second part , We get to know about Shireen, grand daughter of a spy discoverer . She is a university student and a brave girl.

The third part is about Imraan , nephew of Fayaz and his friends ,their plans and movements.

The characters are from different places of Kashmir but their paths are interconnected. They effects each other.

MY VIEWS

First and foremost, I must admire the great writing style of the author which has made the book decorous . The plot and characters are both well researched. In the beginning of the I felt the story is slow paced but gradually it made me change my mind. The daily life of people in kashmir has been successfully portraited. How the political turmoil has affected daily lives can be sensed though this book. The book is not only about the people of Kashmir. The struggle of every woman is also here. Not only the political environment but also the problem with religions and within religion has been reflected.

A well researched , A well written Book about Kashmir !

The book is full of information . But thi book would be more digestive if the author have used more comprehensible words.
