Bouquet Of Emotions (Book Review)

Book: Love in the Time of WhatsApp

Author: Multiple

Publication: Juggernaut

Love in the Time of WhataApp by Juggernaut is a collection of 12 short stories on love and relationship in today’s time. It is amazing to see how 12 different thoughts come together to create something so simple, relatable yet edgy.

Every author has a different style to highlight the speck of life (or fantasy) they have chosen to.

Some of the stories are simple but focuses on how conventional perspective puts our minds into play – Love in the Time of WhatsApp, My Cousin Sahil, Rent a Husband, TTYL -Talk to you Later;

While others though appear to be simple, but leave the readers with appalling twist – iLove Story, Wi-Fi Love, Mrs. Good Luck;

Others shows the face of hypocrisy that is our reality today - The Girl on the Road;

Another set of stories offer a soft and subtle warmth to readers – Chrysanthemums in Springtime, Summer with Vijay, Leather Ball, Cosco Ball.

Overall the stories are to the point, not lagging at any point, and good comfort reads. So keep you phone aside and pick up this book 😊

My ratings: 4 out of 5.

I received a review copy of the book 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.

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?
