This book is a story about a young boy named Rahul who fell in love with a girl named Reema. Reema was a rich girl who settled in Gwalior with her family. Rahul loves her madly and decides to propose to her but Reema refuses it because she wants to marry someone from her cast in order to keep up the name of her family and prove to his parents that she is a good girl. Reema's marriage is fixed with someone from her own cast. The separation from Rahul causes him unbearable pain to Rahul

Rahul moves to Haridwar & later climbs up Mt Everest. He is a rich man now, he is all over the news channel and newspaper. Rahul has to visit Gwalior for some functions, As soon as he arrives at Gwalior, old memories started to hit him. The story is full of pain, separation.

The story keeps you hooked till the very last point of time and it is a little heartbreaking to read it. I finished this book in two days and I liked it. This book later could be converted into a Bollywood movie. You can love someone even being far away from them. You can inspire and love them from a distance keeping all your feeling in the heart and not saying it is a different level of love. This book teaches you that not every love story needs a happy ending.

This book presents some simple underrated feeling in a very beautiful manner. although this book moves at a very small pace but has its own beauty.

I was sent this book as a review copy, Malhaar: When it pours soaks yourself in the poetry by Ambica Uppal. I have read Ambika Uppal in past, Petit a Petit & I enjoyed it so I thought to give this book a try.

Malhaar, this book did not disappoint me at all. I read and enjoyed it till the last. Poetry is liked and unliked from person to person, everyone has their personal opinion. , what made me connected throughout was how simple and plainly the poet has left her heart open. She talks about love, pain, parenthood, etc. She binded all her words in a simple plain and open language.

Malhaar is an old melody in Indian classical music and it evocative of the rains in the monsoon season. I finished this book yesterday night. This book perfectly goes with the night where you want to quench your inner emotion and soak yourself in the poetry.

The poem is divided into In verse, Let yourself love and be loved, lesson learnt and discerned, on the voyage, you and others and flesh, blood and sweat

I was sent this book as a review copy and to my surprise, this book didn't keep down the expectations. The book was written in beginner-friendly language and as the title of the book suggests "You decide" revolves around the conscious decision-making skill. We all have to make decisions sometime or another. You either make the right decision or the wrong one. right? But what made some people successful billionaires while others live like as they were before. Isn't the power of decision making. This book explains to us how we can master the art of decision making and create a successful path for us.

The Crusader, How Modi won the 2019 elections is an amazing read, well written by Randeep Sisodia depicting the true image of new or modern India. The book was so engrossing that I couldn't put it down. I finished it in one night. First of all, I would like to give a round of applause to the author for researching it so well and writing it down from a very fair point of view.

The book is suitable for both Anti Modi and pro-Modi. The author has highlighted the topic very well and the leadership skills perfectly portraying the image of New India. The language in which it is written is beginner-friendly. He took the most boring topic ever and made it interesting and engrossing. A good roundup for a political science student.

This book is a perfect combination of a thriller as well as mystery

I was in a reading slump for this week that's the reason I was not very active on this platform last week, but these books bring you right up to the mark. . Although the cover of this book is gorgeous yet I was a little hesitant while picking up this book not knowing what to expect. The suspense was built up to the last and was not predictable at all.

This book is fast-paced, racy well as a good combination of a thriller as well as mystery. It takes place in the last village of India located in between the Indo-Pak border. Mankor stays with her two kids Samar and Ranu. her husband Virender was at BSP headquarter at Rapar. When Virender returns home there was a piece of bad news awaiting for him, Is Mankor is related to any terror attack against India?

The plotline, twist, and thriller are up on time. The writing style is quick-paced and easy to understand by beginners also. love the storyline and plot.
