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..

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..

A LOT LIKE LOVE...A LI'L LIKE CHOCOLATE by Sumrit Shahi, Book Review

A Lot like Love...a li'l like chocolate by Sumrit Shahi

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


A lot like love...a li'l like chocolate, is nothing like anything which is interesting..



First of all, any average book by an Indian author will be about 200 pages.. This is just 180 pages.. The text is lot like trying to fill pages..



It is like anyother love story.. anyone been in love knows that and this explains all the feeling if you are in love..



There is not much story with an unexpected (and disgusting, for me) end.. waste of money..

Johnny Gone Down by Karan Bajaj

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I know it is too hollywoodish... And too distint from reality and too not-so-possible kind of story.. But I liked it..



I always fantasized of a life like this.. Man, Johnny, you rock!!



Dont even compare this story with the reality, the word 'fiction' mean imagination.. Just imagine..



Superb read, was so involved in the story.. A roller coaster ride a of adventure and emotions...



I ask everyone to atleast read this book once..

So good a story.. Have nothing much to say about it.. Saw the movie, but the book was better.



The writing was good.. It was so detailing, 10 times better than the movie.
