Unfulfilled Desires (Book Review)

Book: Unfulfilled Desires Kindle Edition

Author: Rachi

Publication: Half Baked Beans

One look at the cover and you know that this book is about love story and romance; and you won’t be disappointed by picking up the book for that reason. The plot revolves around different colours of love, in this book Unfulfilled Desires authored by Rachi and published by Half Baked Beans (HBB). 

The protagonist Avantika is reluctant to get into a relationship because of her scepticism in the same. she witnessed a tragic incident in her college days and hence she could not commit to anyone into a relationship. Walks in not 1 or 2 but 3 men who are potential partners for Avantika. However, her quest for understanding ‘what is love’ continues. The three men have different answers to her question ‘what is love for you?’ none of them seems to convince Avantika.



Enters Sanvit, very different from Avantika, but as they say, opposites attract. There begins another story. Will they end up being together or not, and how is something you need to read the book and find out.

The story highlights believing in love and finding the right person. It’s like a journey of love that encapsulates love, hate, trust, betrayal, care, worry, euphoric, you name it.  

I liked how the story begins – the hook. It indeed is. The climax of the story is again I didn’t see that coming. The story is simple, and the characters are well fleshed out.  

The grammatical errors and editing which weren’t up to the mark were a big put off for me. This was in addition to some questions left answered.

My ratings: 3 out of 5.

I received a review copy of the e-book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Never Gone: Nostalgic…Back To ‘Bachchpan’ (Book Review)

Book: Never Gone Author: Anusha Subramanian Publisher: Penguin India Do you remember that feeling, when you had your first crush back in good old school days? Or, the days you spent trying to impress your love interest? This book will transport you back to those wonderful days – school days. At least this is what it did to me. It took me back to the days of learning and comprehending emotions such as feelings, emotions, love, friendship, companionship, sympathy, empathy, trust, happiness, sorrow, jealousy, hatred, revenge and the list is endless. I have completed my education in co-ed school and college and very closely witnessed love stories bloom and relationship break. I could completely identify with the story, plot, the setup and the characters. I loved the way the characterization has been done and the flash backs described.

A Cute And Simple Love Story (Book Review)

Image Source Book: Everyone Has A Story Author: Savi Sharma Publisher: Westland Every one has a story, yes that's a fact, we all have tales to tell; we all have OUR stories to share... those which are unheard and untold, yet waiting to come out of the closets of our soul and be known to the world .  No matter how reserved or secretive one is, the desire to be known rather heard of never fades away. We all want to tell (our) stories to the world. And looks like Savi Sharma strikes the right cord here. The story she narrates resembles lives of today's youth- independent, ambitious, passionate, confident and yet confused when it comes relationships. The story is about two such youngsters, well actually four, about how they fall in love, but the difficulties they face in either accepting the relationship or leading it. The protagonist Meera, who dreams of becoming an author is in search of a story that can touch millions of lives. Well she does find one in form...

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.
