Of Love Deceit Pain And Self Realization (Book Review)

Book: Thank You Love
Author: Ayush Gupta
Publisher: Half Baked Beans

In this day and age, it is not uncommon to fall in and out of relationships. People get into relationship (on trial basis) if they feel things are not working out, they break up and get into a new relationship. It’s fine! It’s the norm today, majority of our younger population follow it. 

However, what is unusual is one of the partners unable to get over the break up and move on in life. It is not very common to see somebody being unable to believe that his/her partner has moved on and so should the person as well.

This plot revolves around Rayan, who is madly and deeply in love with Akshita; however due to certain circumstances Akshita decides to break up this relationship and move on. 




Rayan is unable to accept it. Though he does nothing to ‘avenge’ this cheat, but works on himself to understand the real meaning of life.

The author Ayush, with the help of the protagonist has very subtly tried to explain that there is life beyond a girlfriend and a broken heart. He has elucidated that life is given to us to set and achieve our goals, live our dreams and love wholeheartedly without any qualms. 

The story covers all interesting aspects of life, most youngsters face these days  - love, pain and self realization. 

Although it’s bears a good advice for lovers to dwell in peace, the story lacks intensity and depth.

I received this book from Half Baked Beans against an honest and unbiased review.

My rating: 3 Stars

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 :)
