Gripping Crime Thriller (Book Review)

Book: The Party orker

Author: Omar Shahid Hamid

Publisher: Pan Macmillan India

The Party Worker is a full-fledged masala movie material, oh yes!!! The story starts with an attempted murder and gradually moves on to a wider net of politics, murders, corruption, underworld secrets, rising of a don among others.

The book revolves around the lives of four important characters a hitman, a cop, a journalist and an old man. The plot connects them all very strategically. Certainly credit goes to the fluid narrative and flawless storyline. Their lives crosses that of each other’s, while there are several parallel stories also. The story is set in New York and Pakistan.

The author has successfully penned an interesting book, that’s just not put downable. It’s a gripping crime thriller that’s racy and an exciting read.

Wait for some hard-hitting and shocking events in the story.

I received a copy from Pan Macmillan India in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My rating: 4.5 Stars

You Hired Smart Talent. But Are You Training Them Right?

Every year, organizations hire bright interns and freshers from top institutes. They come in with promise, potential, and the right intent. But somewhere between onboarding and execution, something quietly breaks. Not because they lack capability. But because they’re not really trained, properly. In many workplaces, especially in fast-paced functions like communications, freshers are given tasks, targets, and timelines, but not the depth required to execute them well. Take something as simple as media outreach.

Heart Lamp: Stories Too Familiar, Yet Still Unheard

My latest read (a bit delayed, but never mind), winner of the 2025 Booker Prize , Heart Lamp is a collection of selected stories by Banu Mustaq , translated by Deepa Bhasthi , originally written in Kannada between 1990 and 2023. As promised, it shines a light on the everyday struggles of Muslim women, focusing on gender inequality, patriarchy, oppression, domestic violence, and more. Now, is it worth a Booker Prize? Honestly, I’m not the best person to comment on that. But here’s what I felt—many of these stories felt familiar, maybe even too familiar, if you’ve grown up in India. Tales of patriarchy, domestic abuse, women belittling women… we have all seen or heard these around us. So, what makes Heart Lamp special?
