Book Review: 10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange by Elif Shafak
10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange WorldAuthor: Elif ShafakPublisher: Penguin UKRating: 4.5/5 Elif Shafak is one such author whose simple language pierces the heart so brutally that one cannot avoid but think of the overwhelming setting of the plot and the injustice meted out to her characters. ‘10 Minutes and 38 Seconds in This Strange World’ is Shafak’s 11th novel which addresses the grave issue of sexual violence in Istanbul. Deftly dealing with the aftermath of fighting for freedom and searching for a life devoid of misery and slavery, the author uses a bold narrative to highlight the stereotypes and notions that are perpetuated in the society right…

Criminal Justice 2: Behind Closed Doors (A Review)
For a suspense story to become a blockbuster, it should comprise certain elements that make it a potboiler. Right from conflict, pacing and atmosphere to red herrings and background music- all these elements play an important role in deciding whether or not the story has the calibre to pass the muster. When Criminal Justice was released in 2019, the hopes were set high with its stirring and dark trailer, impeccable acting skills being demonstrated by Vikrant Massey and others and an exemplary storyline that offered no resolution in sight. Now that the second season of the same show has been released, I cannot deny that the anticipation level was similar.…

Book Review: Your Love Makes Me Complete by Ratnadip Acharya
Your Love Makes Me CompleteAuthor: Ratnadip AcharyaPublisher: Aksora PublicationsRating: 4.5/5 Sometimes all you need is a second chance because time wasn’t ready for the first one. Love is not tough nor tender; it is volatile. If not given proper attention, it vanishes from plain sight. That’s the thing about love stories; they make you realize that true love does exist and charges your soul with the hope that there is someone, in the far and deeper depths of the world, who would surely sweep you off your feet (maybe, not literally)! ‘Your Love Makes Me Complete’ is one such heartfelt tale of love and longing that surely lingers long after…

Book Review: Transform to Empower by Niraja Bandi & Arghya Chakraborty
Empower to TransformAuthors: Niraja Bandi & Arghya ChakrabortyPublisher: Self-publishedRating: 3/5 The idea that women can never be treated as equals or that they cannot match the intelligence and strength of menfolk has been perpetuated in our society right from the stage of inception. While decades back women had no voice, now, things are better than being completely bleak, for the women know what they deserve and are vocal enough to voice out their opinions. But does ‘being bold and straightforward’ alone serve the purpose? No. Since the belief resides in the minds of the men, it is equally important for the men to realize that women are their counterparts and…

Book Review: Your Life Your Way by Milind Sahasrabudhe
Your Life Your WayAuthor: Milind SahasrabudhePublisher: Notion PressRating: 2/5 Your Life Your Way is a self-help book that uses the principles of Business Management to help individuals understand their ambitions and transform their passion into a well-paying profession. Divided into two parts, the author deftly divides the information under two headings- identifying your passion and the secret principles that can help you get paid using your skills to the fullest. Citing examples of some of the very prominent people like Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs, the author makes an attempt to highlight the importance of ‘doing what you love’. At one point of time, the content does get repetitive but…

F Stands for SuccessAuthor: Rakhi KapoorPublisher: Notion PressRating: 3.5/5 Using an allegorical approach and the science of deduction to eliminate all the negative possibilities, ‘F Stands for Success’ is a self-help book that helps you change your outlook towards life. Knowing that the letter ‘F’ is often accompanied by distaste and despair, it would take the readers some time to think about what the author tries to ‘preach’. But trust me, the author uses clever anecdotes to make her point of view relatable and palatable. F Stands for Success aims at convincing the readers that failures are like the stepping stones for success. When you fail, you gain experience and…

Book Review: Life Unknown by Kartikeya Ladha
Life Unknown: A Passage Through IndiaAuthor: Katikeya LadhaPublisher: Wild AmbroRating: 4/5 I believe that when you are alone in the mountains, the mountains do not miss the chance to communicate with you. This might sound scary but trust me, it is then when you feel alive, when your purpose is as clear as a crystal stream and when you understand where you belong. In Kartikeya Ladha’s new book, Life Unknown, he sets out on another adventure, this time within his own country, and explores the distant depths that burn bright with his energy and spirit.

JAIPUR: A Trip to the Sawai’s!
Known as the ‘pink city’, Jaipur is the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan that has numerous stories to tell. The nickname, ‘pink city’, is because of the characteristic pink colour of the buildings that make this city come alive. Upon entering Jaipur, one will be greeted by a massive gate that is beautifully painted and resembles the entrance of a great palace. Even though the roads connected to the eminent locations are very good, the roads connecting the market are quite congested and narrow. Nevertheless, if one rents a two-wheeler for tripping in and around Jaipur, one should be good to go. We planned a trip to…

Blood on the SandsAuthor: Sujata S. SabnisPublisher: AmaryllisRating: 3.5/5 Isn’t it beautiful how mere words can haunt you for a long time?
