You’ll always be my favorite What if – Tshree

Blurb

Amisha– “We started with a simple hello but ended with a complicated goodbye.”

I was in love with Avyansh, since the day that I could discern how it feels to be in love. I fell for him irrevocably much before meeting him. It was certain that we would be together one day. But destiny has a way of crushing us, by refusing what we deeply desire. So, despite all certainties and hopes we never crossed paths again after our first meeting.
I never got the opportunity to express my feelings & my love remained unrequited. Even after 15 long years he never left my mind and soul though I formally belonged to someone else now.

Avyansh- “Meeting you was one of the best accidents of my life. I wish I could go back to that moment, just to experience it all over again.”

What skipped my heartbeat on our first meeting was a mole on the upper side of her right lip. She didn’t need any makeup to entice a man, her mole was more than enough to be someone’s death.
I broke her heart over a phone call but today when we met after 15 long years, I wanted to turn back the clock and fix what I’d broken. It was my weakness that I could not treasure her. I am tired of hiding the truth and carrying this guilt for so many years. I know I tore her world apart with just my words but over the years not even a single day has passed, when I haven’t thought about the hurt & pain I caused her.

Review :

So I love the title itself how it’s short yet very cute and the cover which goes along with it.
It just reminds you of so many things in life which could have happened and we all have our favorite what ifs.

That’s where the story also revolves around how two lovers had drifted apart and now they’re somehow back but they are already with someone else.

Will they be together or not? You’ll have to read the story for it I wont give it out.

What I absolutely loved in the book is how each chapter starts with a small quote and what person’s dialogue it is and also how it ends with small giveaways I loved the first chapters ending alot where it said sometimes you’ve to come home and do nothing.

The story’s basic theme is around love and also about women have to go through so much. You’ll see alot about our culture too.
The book has hinglish.

It’s a medium paced book.
It’s a little long read but it’s nice for one time.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH THE TALENTED SAURABH PANT

https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08L8MHF7W/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_07K9TQRRKE83D5JA2Y87

Author interview on Decisions of heart

1) Tell us a little on what decisions of heart means to you?
It means a symbol of romantic grace, a work of happy and sad moments, and it help me remember some joyous and reprieved moments for which its a great effort as far I am concerned as an author.

2) Are these poems from personal experiences?
Some of them have been, but not all of them, as there are also poem inspired from human psychology, and poems where things connect to heart, it does make a unique impression.

3) Why did you go with this title?
While editing the work, I felt that poems connect to heart, directly helped into the core things are touched, and I have faith that this title would suit the eBook perfectly.

4) Any other titles were also thought about the book
Yes, a title called ‘Heart poems: love and bond’ and other one called ‘Decisions, life and longing’, but these titles felt longer to me and not directly connecting to the effort for which the title called ‘Decisions of heart’ was finalized after discussion with my editorial team.

5) Having read your other books this book was on a different theme altogether, isn’t it.
Yeah as an author you need to add dynamics, to grow in more genres, and I feel this eBook was a testimony that romantic poetry is possible from my side as a writer.

6) What stirred you to write this?
Moments from my past without doubt where I lost support of someone who I loved closely, better not to mention names, the understanding of love psychology to express desire of youth in such times, and I guess during typing this eBook the only feeling I had was to create something that connects to people directly in their lives.

7) Anything you’re currently working on
In current times, I am working on a new poetry collection that will cover famous 10 eBooks published in past and poem from them as a happy legacy is going to be part of it.

8) Why do you choose poems as your means?
Poetry is a typical genre, the terms and words used by poets are always a sense of search, and my goal is to make poetry easier and simple for readers to understand and that’s why I choose it to type in simple but quality means.

9) A word for our writers
Never feel hesitant to take your decisions, you may be questioned, not allowed or barrier sanding tall in front but have belief, stay firm like a rock, and don’t stop because one effort is just a start and you have to live it long.

10) Your word for our readers
To keep faith in my writing, to have the feeling that this author can produce more quality, and I expect that your love should continue to make me better as an author.

11) One of your favorite poems from the book
I think my favorite poem is ‘Uncle Teddy’ in the book, there are also some great poems, but the imagery of the poem mentioned puts things into perspective of a love bond, regained shattered and secluded, and for that reason I like that poem.

12) Poets you follow for inspiration
There are many, being part of Indian Innovation Author Forum, Raven Cage, World Literature Association and many other platform does help, and I think I follow style of poems more than poets which makes it a multiple learning sphere.

My gratitude for such wonderful questionnaire, hopefully readers would enjoy, and I will try to create one more book like this one soon.
Though there’s ‘Feelings… Not Responding’ available in kindle as a co-authored work that is romantic poetry, but separate effort would take time and with such hope for now its cheers from Charlie…

Review

It had been a while since I read a collection of short stories. This collection was just perfect to read and absorb different thoughts that were going through.The collection consists of love stories. All forms of love have been explained in here. Love just doesn’t come in a form of feeling all lovedSometimes it is about self love. Sometimes it is sacrificing. Sometimes it is about revenge and what not.Love how the author tried to portray so many other emotions that goes around it.I loved the simple narration of the stories and I could keep myself in the shoes of different characters and feel those.The cover is simple I feel it could have been much better. The title is alright exactly portraying how things go haywire and it isn’t just about the good things but also bad. The last two stories were amazing.

The unexpected leader : Joel Sadhanand

Blurb

Ajith, the CEO of India’s most popular coffee chain, Good Morning Inc., is outrageously shocked to hear the pitch from a tech startup: fire all managers and replace them with AI. Though he wants to dismiss the idea, the pitch is ferociously compelling. Before Ajith could take a firm decision, an unexpected tragedy occurs at one of the coffee stores. Ajith loses control over his company overnight. He stages a secretive reverse coup to regain his company.

At the same time, the office of the WHO issues a warning about a global respiratory pandemic to the Indian government, but the prime minister’s office ignores it. Instead, it spends its focus on the developments of Good Morning Inc. Why would the PMO’s office be interested in the incidents of a corporate entity?

Rahul is excited to meet his blind date at one of the coffee shops of Good Morning Inc. What he doesn’t know is that he is just a pawn whose actions are about to trigger an avalanche of consequences in the lives of many people, related and unrelated to Good Morning Inc.

Will Ajith ever regain his company? Will he become the first CEO in the world to successfully use artificial intelligence instead of human leaders to manage its workforce?

Review

I was eager to read after reading the blurb. The cover is alright. It depicts political nuance.
The story was medium to fast paced. I liked reading. At times the characters over crossed.

The characters are well developed and explained. Was good to read more about it all.

The genres mix at times. Scientific and political horror.
The way the scenes have been described is what I liked alot

Overall 4/5.

Mythological Monologues by Purba Chakraborty.

Blurb

How did Ahalya feel when Sage Gautam cursed her to be a stone?
How did Eklavya feel when Dronacharya asked for his right thumb as his Guru Dakshina?
How did Karna feel when he learned he was the brother of the Pandavas before the Kurukshetra war?
How did Draupadi go through the various trials and tribulations of her life? What was her anchor?
How did Arjuna feel after being enlightened by Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra?

The friendship of Sudama, the love of Radha, the longing of Rukmini, the devotion of Shabari, the compassion of Sita, and the revenge of Shikhandi also find a place in this book of dramatic monologues.

Embark on this fascinating journey inside the minds of iconic characters of Ramayana and Mahabharata. Listen closely to their voices and dive deep into their hearts. Maybe, you will find yourself in some of them.

Review

The book is a collection of poems and or monologues about every important character in Ramayana and Mahabharata.

I really love the subtle and mesmerising cover of the book.
The name suits well.

What I enjoy is the very sweet revealing of the characters important characteristics and the way there story flows in it.

There are 26 monologues from the poetess.
All of them have been explained words.
I must say the way the word choices are they are amazing.

It was like going through the stories of both the most read books at once from a third persons point of view

Alot of my understanding and also the way I look at the scriptures changed my perspectives.

I love how the work always keeps flowing.

I loved reading through it.
I think mostly only people who have read the scriptures would like it. But others can read it too.

You can find the book on amazon.

Overall a 4/5.

Dhruv is the popular dashing guy in Nisha’s office. His impulsive antics irk her, but also attract her. From the day Dhruv enters her life, she starts getting anonymous threatening late night calls and scary nightmares that seem too real. Who is this Dhruv? What’s his connection with the strange happenings in her life? Can she trust him?
Nivas is a guy you wouldn’t notice in a crowd. Rimi is a chatterbox and the polar opposite. Naturally, Nivas is drawn towards her and gains the courage to propose to her, desiring more of her. Things turn ugly from then on between the two.

As the stories of the two couples converge at an unexpected turn of events – Kevin, the best detective in town, ends up with a peculiar case. Everything about the case is confusing, contradictory and downright clumsy! A cat-and-mouse game ensues with everyone’s life at stake.

Every story has one ending, will this one too?

Review :

Love is what holds us and or bounds us by hopes and leaps.
The cover is good and the title goes along well with the way the story flows at a medium pace.

It is two stories which run by parallel inter twining at times.

The blurb is fine anticipates you to read. It is a psychological thriller. I love the way the characters have been portrayed and the way the story flows from one to the other.

The main plot runs around love.
I like how alot of the dialogues are really relatable.

Everything in and around is about love.
A nice one time read. I loved how my emotions went in for a toss with the thrill and at the same time went all in awe.

plot -3/5

Narration- 3/5

We Met For A Reason – Subrat Saurabh

Blurb.

We met for a reason”, is an intriguing story of a guy named Karan who met three different women at various phases of his life. It moves with how he went on a roller coaster ride of emotions while dealing with these pretty nymphs and his own idea of life, where relationships are beyond the emotional tie ups, have zero expectations and absolutely no commitment.

Karan was fortunate enough to experience the real flavours of love in the form of warm affection, spicy sex and sour betrayal. His idea of romantic relationship is something which starts with a friendship, progresses with fingerlicious food at a restaurant, gets intense in a pub, gets sealed with a lip lock and later dissolves into a one-night stand. However, destiny had a different plan where he ended up falling in love with a girl, whom he thought to be, just another pawn in his journey of self-satisfaction. 

Sometimes even a short-lived relationship or an incident creates a huge impact on a person’s mind and may change the direction of his life. Life goes through a drastic change for Karan due to an incident and he realizes the importance of relationships.

Review

The book is another book on romance written with some new twists and turns.

I like the cover it is simple and something from the story put on the cover.
The characters have been defined well and explained.
You can actually visualise them and see them in life.
The Hindi and English quotes in the book is what I thoroughly enjoyed in it. The book shows about love. Casual dating and things around it.

My dad read some pages in it as well and he loved the quotes as well. He felt all of them were deep and had so much more meaning.

It is a medium paced book. Simple words and easy to read book. It’s a light read.

Review

Having read the first book this book was anticipated and awaited. This book starts with 112 it is all about ones action and balance between life and work. Reality and dreams and things that come in-between life always. How we need and should live our total potential. The quotes are poetic as well in some phrases. Some teachings and indentations should be remembered always.

The quotes are short and some are of medium length.
One of my most favourites are when hearts bleed scarlet rivers of verses flow when minds are free supernova of prose flows.

Each quote uplifts you and all about growth of a person. There are so many paths we don’t live to and or don’t take. We need to take a leap and go for these paths and routes instead.
The book will give you a whole dose of positivity and hope. All of us have pasts and experiences that made us who we are today.Our doubts and fears holds us. The book is a small try to push us and keep going no matter what.
A dose of happiness, giving up and something about wome empowerment is given too.The distance between efforts and dreams need to be blurred.How we always need to stay humble and swift with what we do.
It’s never the end. The book is a good push and to elevate your day everyday. Was nice reading it! book is available on Amazon here is the link https://www.amazon.in/dp/8194556716?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Purgatory Voyage : encountering life after death by Adarsh Kumar Khare

Blurb

Can anyone experience life after death for a few days in his present life? Believe me, it was possible earlier. Around 1000 years back, anyone could go for a purgatory voyage to experience life after death for 12 days through a tunnel in Bharmaur, Himachal Pradesh. But no one could recall what happened to him during his purgatory voyage. Once, a person from Bundelkhand, named Kalidas went for a purgatory voyage. He experienced life after death and surprisingly, he was able to recall all those incidents of a different planet. After returning to his state, he embarked on a discourse about his purgatory voyage and his scary encounters with the King of Bundelkhand.

Could anyone believe in his riveting account of the voyage or people smelled a foul play?

Review

 Firstly I am really amazed with the title of the book. what happens when we die? What happens to everything about us? is there a way out?

We’ve all been told to do some or the other voyages before our life ends.
I really loved the whole title and vibe of the book. The way it has been written is very interesting and keeps you glued. The story has been written about a man from a.d who goes through the whole journey.

I really loved how there are pictures in the book and at the end of it. It is a topic I don’t think many have written about. But I liked how the author made it interesting with characters and real life places and examples as well.

I love the cover it leaves an effect. Some places it feels like the story gets slow but it picks up again in no time.

I loved knowing so much more about our culture and so many hidden things.

Loved reading the book.
