Book: Sniper’s Eye

Author: Mainak Dhar

Publication: 4 Hour Press

“Are you sure the one whom you trust the most is worthy of it?”

In midst of umpteen thrillers based on terrorism, Indo-Pak issue etc. Sniper’s Eye is a fast-paced, high on adrenaline, short and a refreshing action thriller. I have always been a fan of this genre and never feel like putting a book down at the end of the day. The adrenaline rush it pumps is worth missing out on your sleep for few hours.

Well known writers such as Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum etc. fuelled my thirst for fast-paced, action thrillers before and Mainak Dhar is topping my list with Sniper’s Eye.

Sniper’s Eye offers a very fresh plot for thriller readers. It has a good storyline based around the mystery behind a string of brutal serial killings of retired defence personnel and how the protagonist, an ex-army officer who is happy with his post-army life, gets caught in midst of all these. How the tracks lead him to a huge conspiracy that can have catastrophic consequences on the entire nation and its security? How does he battle his past, his personal demons and also the situation he is embroiled in? How does he ensure his loved ones aren’t hurt? And finally, how does he use his battle experience, intuition and common sense to choose the right-side and come out unscathed?

The narrative is kept simple, fast, crisp and clear with no room for nonsense, yet nerve-gripping. The pace really gets to your adrenaline and you won’t feel like putting the book down. The heroes of this book are its story and Mainak Dhar himself.

Don’t forget to pick your copy of Sniper’s Eye!

I would rate this book 4.5 out of 5.

So, Are You A Good Person Or A Nice Person?

So, are you a good person or a nice person? It’s not always good to be nice, you know. Sometimes it’s okay to be ‘just you’. We often end up mixing the two attributes - good and nice – assuming them to be the same. But there is a vast difference between the two. What is the difference, you ask? Or is it just that I am going bonkers? Well, by definition … · A nice person is someone who is pleasant to be around, has good manners, and is cheerful; · A good person on the other hand, is someone who is honest, helpful, and morally good. A person who has generally been good tends to be nice to others, most of the time. However, the question is: should they be nice to people, even if they don’t want to? Would people consider them as ‘good’ if they are not nice any longer? The Burden of Being Nice Here’s what I think: you might be a good person, who doesn’t want to intenti...

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

Book Review: Suryavamsha

Book: Suryavamsha: The Noble Kings of Ancient India Author: Manjunath Dattatreya Publication: Notion Press Mythology, I believe, encourages us to question, reason, comprehend the metaphors, go deep into philosophies and develop our own understanding of it. Suryavamsha: The Noble Kings of Ancient India , by author Manjunath Dattatreya does exactly the same. This book consists of several stories from the solar dynasty in brief snippets. The key essence of these stories is then highlighted. These stories attempt to answer the question of ‘why’. ‘Why or how did that event find a place in the ancient texts?'; ‘are they still relevant?’; ‘what are they trying to tell us?’
