    Book Review: Flyaway Boy by Jane De Suza

    January 11, 2020 /

    Flyaway BoyAuthor: Jane De SuzaPublisher: Puffin Press (Penguin Publishers) It is said that a child’s mind is not a container to be filled but rather a fire to be kindled. Every child is different and hence, it is important to nurture the talent that the child possesses and encourage him/her to follow the dream. Childhood is a stage when mind imbibes everything with an easy span and thus, children should not be bound by rules that prevent their magic wand (the mind) to do the magic! ‘Flyaway Boy’ is the book that explains the same idea in a very interactive and comical way. Sounding like the written version of the…

    Book Review: Darkless by Tanu Shree Singh

    December 1, 2019 /

    DarklessAuthor: Tanu Shree SinghPublisher: Pickle Yolk Books (Penguin) It has been rightly said that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Knowing that parents love their children unconditionally, it would not be wrong to say that even young children adore their parents. ‘Darkless’ is a story that uses minimal words to express such a strong emotion which is LOVE. While Ani’s mother is away, he feels that he is trapped amidst the vicissitudes of life. Never does he ever find anything pleasing or happy. Gloomy and dark days don’t help him either. But when he sees his mother after a long time, everything becomes ‘darkless’. Irrespective of the fact…

    Book Review: Second Night by Rajiv Dogra

    March 27, 2019 /

    Second NightAuthor: Rajiv DograPublisher: Rupa PublishersRating: 3/5 Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.~Jean de La Fontaine Love in its purest form is often accompanied by anguish and sorrow, for happiness is sweeter at the end of the anguish. ‘Second Night’ by Rajiv Dogra is addictive and intense. It is a storehouse of emotions. The story oscillates between present and past, eventually shaping up the future of the characters. Terse narrative and the succinct plot make this an enjoyable reading experience. The story begins with the love story of Sat-Sati in college. Love knows no bounds, for their hearts are pure. After being hoodwinked by the circumstances, Sat…
