More Like A Bollywood Movie (Book Review)

Book: A Walk In The Rain

Author: Udai Yadla

Publisher: Revelation House Books

A Walk In The Rain is a romantic fiction story, with thick strips thriller thrown into it. The story has several emotions such as love, romance, action, thriller, desperation, longing and certainly, pain.

The plot of story is about childhood sweethearts who are forced to part ways due to drastic situations; only to meet later in life, again in strange circumstances. The story takes a turn, when in incident the protagonist is killed and he is re-united with his childhood best friend.

The narration is more like an essay, perhaps the author has tried something new, which did not quite seem interesting. The plot seems average and descriptions of the characters are fine. The story-telling is not very captive. With the elements included in the book, the story, the narration could have been a lot better. For a debut author Udai’s writing quality is good.

The story-line though lacks surprise elements, can be a decent script for Bollywood movies.

My rating: 2.5 Stars

I received a review copy of the book from Writers Melon in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

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.

Draupadi - Action Prevails Emotions

The woman of Kaliyuga…. before the Kaliyuga descended One of the few very clear memories I still have of my childhood is when my mother was feeding me lunch and we were happily chatting about Mahabharata. While talking, I said ‘when I grow up, I want to become Draupadi’. She yelled at me ‘ pagal ho gayi ho kya?, kuch bhi bak bak karti ho. Khana khao chup chap ’. I was taken aback by her sudden anger. Barely 7-8 years of age, I didn’t quite understand the reason for her annoyance, then. Today, after decades I certainly do. Indeed, I do understand, why a mother wouldn’t want her daughter to become Draupadi or even get closer to what she suffered. All said and done, she was the heroine of the one of the only two greatest epics of the country’s history – Mahabharata.
