CAN LOVE HAPPEN TWICE? by Ravinder Singh, Book Review

Can Love Happen Twice? by Ravinder Singh

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I thought for almost a full 20 minutes thinking what to type over here.. Finally I got something to tell..





It didnt take a lot of thinking to buy this book.. The author's name is enough to pick it..



This is not as good when compared to the prior book.. It gets a 3 outta 5, if compared to the first book.. but the rating I gave (4/5) is for when I take it like any other book..



It was a interesting read with a very unexpected twist at the end.. Hats off to Ravinder Singh..



Worth a read...

HOT TEA ACROSS INDIA by Rishad Saam Mehta, Book Review

Hot Tea Across India by Rishad Saam Mehta

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Not so bad one...



It started off very boring.. I was expecting lot of travel and lots of information of India, after I reading this I realise that 200 pages is not enough to write about travels across India..



Author's travels mostly consisted of travels in North, near Delhi, Jammu, Leh, etc..



One more misunderstanding of mine about this book is that I was expecting more of adventures, backpacking, camping kind of stuff.. It is a 'travel' genred novel.. In this novel, travel means, travel by bike, car or air, which means not much of a adventure stuff.. And the author most of the time stays in a hotel or a friend's place, which means it is not much of a backpacking or camping stuff..



But for a person like me, who likes travelling and all.. This is a refreshment and provokes to hit the road again.

ALEPH by Paulo Coelho, Book Review

Aleph by Paulo Coelho

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The 2nd Paulo's book I read..



I thought that this book is about travelling.. But it turned out to be completely different.. Anyways, it was upto Paulo's standards..



At first I thought 'Aleph' is someone's name.. But it has a fantasy of its own.. But it was good.. The concept of Aleph is very new to me and the way Paulo expressed is just amazing..



Got something new to learn, the story was good.. So its a good read!!

A DILLI-MUMBAI LOVE STORY by Abhimanyu Jha, Book Review

A Dilli Mumbai Story by Abhimanyu Jha

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


One more touching tale from a Indian author..



I always liked reading novels by Indians.. The tagline, "when love won over terror", is what tempted me in reading this book..



As the name says, 'dilli-mumbai love story', and from the cover design, we can say it has something to do with 26/11. The best part of the book, about 80% of book is just about Aniruddh's, the hero, love story. How they met eachother, how they fought, how they got together again and the life after that.. Till, Apu, the heroine gets stuck in the Taj hotel during the terrorist attack.



The last 50 pages of the book deals with the story after Apu gets stuck in the terrorist attack in Taj hotel. The story from here on was so interesting.. Every single emotion, god, was expressed beautifully.. I was turning a page every 2 minutes from here on. I was not going to put this down until i complete reading it.



If you like love stories from Indian authors, you will definitely love this one.. It will be a page turner, anyone will complete it in just one go...



A little boring in the beginning but it got interesting eventually... A VERY TOUCHING TALE..

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


TOUCHING... GRIPPING... A MUST READ...



This was my slowest read.. Each parah was so gripping, I didnt want to get done with it so soon..



There is nothing I can express about the story, it is one of the best, if not the best, fictions I've ever read..

THE MONK WHO SOLD HIS FERRARI by Robin S. Sharma, Book Review

The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin S. Sharma

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


My another try at philosophical books...



And I failed again.. I dont why philosophical books dont interest me.. All I could find out of philosophical books are the sentences and the meaning keep on repeating infinite times in every paragraph.... Thats very irritating thing..



I was reading with keen interest till 107th page, after that I was literally scanning the words in the pages.. All I can say that, this is the first philosophical which I have read interestingly for the half way of it..



Robin S. Sharma has done a good job.. He is pretty good with his sense of philosophy.. Pretty interesting for the first halfof the book.. Will probably be a delight for who are serious with philosophical or self help books..

MOM SAYS NO GIRLFRIEND by Subhasis Das, Book Review

Mom Says No Girlfriend by Subhasis Das

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


There is something special about this book.. The writing was perfect... The story fulfilled its requirement - timepass..



But, my GOD, climax - the 25 pages were so unbelievable.. I dont know what just happened.. Actually I feel disgusted about these kind of stories.. but I think I am getting it now... I am not going to reveal it anyway...



The story lingers around a guy who loves music (which he later gives up) and keeps falling in love with girls (which he thinks of giving up everytime he broke up, but will fail every single time).. At the end of the story you will understand the mere reason of the selection of the title..





Good for time-pass..
