Quest For Love... Interesting Yet Predictable (Book Review)

Book: Finding Juliet
Author: Toffee
Publisher: Srishti Publishers

Finding Juliet by Toffee is a story about Arjun’s transformation from sweet and simple guy to the womanizer. The sole purpose of the protagonist’s existence is finding true love and it turns out that he manages to do a PH.D in how to fail in any relationship.

“Can a Geek ever find love?” is what essentially the book about. The geeky Arjun starts as a bichara innocent little boy who has been having hard luck when it comes to love and relationships.


This nice guy can’t seem to be able to decode the key to women’s complex mind and ever confused heart. His tryst with women began early, however it’s only when he gets a guru in form of a close confidante Krish, he learns how to win over women; nevertheless this quest takes him away from his original purpose of finding true love.

It is no rocket science to understand that Arjun is supposed to fell for or rather realize his love for his childhood friend Anjali and his quest will see a happy ending. It’s predictable! However, what is interesting to see is how he gets there; how does the realization of true love dawns on him.

The story also portrays several relationship elements youth today go through - attraction, lust, friendship with benefits, casual sex, no- string relations then there’s also some love-at-first sight, love, trust, honesty, bromance among others.

The author’s writing style is fluid and nowhere did the plot felt boring. The cover is interesting and tells you that you are in for a quick and fun read. Overall it is a simple read, nothing to gain or nothing to lose.

I received a copy from Writersmelon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My rating: 3.5 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 :)

Have You Ever Faced Creative Block?

 Have you ever faced writer’s block? I am sure most of us have. Not just limited to writing, but this ‘block’ troubles everyone irrespective of field, interest, and profession, at some point in life.  You could be a writer, painter, photographer, singer, film-maker, crafter, content creator, working in any profession, or just a simple human, who can think, you have certainly faced this block at one or the other point in your life. How do you overcome it? What do you do to let this block go or disappear? Do you read, write, watch your favorite shows, just talk about it to peers; or keep your work aside and focus on something else. Well, to me it feels as if this writer’s block has been consistent with me forever now. Alright, there are a few phases, when I am able to put down my thoughts on paper (and then key it in the system) and sometimes, even record them for my podcast. But I miss those days when I used to think and write so fluently that I would surprise myself. It has be...

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?’
