Book Review: Ram C/o Anandhi by Akhil P. Dharmajan.

Ram C/o Anandhi written by Akhil P. Dharmajan This book was, and still is, a sensation on Bookstagram, creating a stir among readers and encouraging them to give it a try. Let me first take a moment to appreciate the beautiful cover, which portrays all the important characters in the story and gives us a visual representation of them. However, I still prefer the characters' faces that I envisioned in my imagination through the author's narration (which you will find at the end of this review). Ram aka Sriram,  is the male lead of the story. He is from Kerala and came to Chennai to take a film course. This is where he meets Anandi, the female lead, who works as a receptionist at the same film college. The first meeting between these two characters doesn’t go well. However, just as I was settling in for a breezy, cinematic romantic read, the book reveals its true depth, exploring themes like friendship, social issues, transgender struggles, and more. Essentially, this book spans ...

Book Review : Interstellar MegaChef by Lavanya Lakshminarayan

By -

     O ver a decade, food and cooking shows have been popular on TV, and these shows play an immense role on weekends. Whether we’re trying the recipes or not, watching them cook makes us feel satisfied and acts as a guilty pleasure. At times, they can also be a little motivating to try new dishes.   Imagine how it would feel if an entire cooking show were described in a book. The book created with this idea is " Interstellar MegaChef by Lavanya Lakshminarayan ".  Since it's a work of fiction, there's one major twist: the cooking show mentioned in the book is for the best cook in the entire galaxy. Upon reading the blurb of this book and my shameless confession of falling for the chocolate-sprinkled strawberry donut on the cover, those two acted as the two major reasons for picking up this book. The story starts with Saraswati Kaveri, an Earthling who is thrilled upon receiving her invitation/acceptance letter to participate in the Interstellar MegaChef coo...

Book Review: Breath of a Wandering City Leaf by Kartikey Grover

B reath of a Wandering City Leaf written by Kartikey Grover. This book will come under the poetry genre. The book title, its inner content, and the cover image all are made of each other. Let us appreciate the beautiful and aesthetic-looking cover image of this book first. I am someone who loves to try a beautiful and short poetry book once every month and for this month I chose his poetry book. The poems presented in this cover the small tiny details and emotions that we face in the day to day life such as taking a little break from watch (that is our everyday routine life), rain, feelings of dancing, heartbeat, etc. Out of all I love the poem that is titled 'A crispy caffeinated Affair' It was a short one but written wonderfully. The poems in this book don't follow any format they just follow the anthology format. This is the first time I am trying an anthology of genres in poems with a mixed topic and I am quite surprised also I loved it at the same time. The poetry in t...

Book Review: Miracle(S) Of Rudraksha: Mystical Insights by CA Vyomessh Pathak

M iracle(S) Of Rudraksha: Mystical Insights written by CA Vyomessh Pathak. This book falls under the non-fiction genre.  The title is very apt for its content, and the cover image is vibrant, positive, and a perfect match for what’s inside. I have seen Rudraksha in real life whenever I visit famous temples, especially Shiva temples. However, most of the time, I end up dealing with bogus sellers who try to cheat us with false claims, so I eventually don’t buy any. The title of this book, especially the phrase 'Mystical Insights,' encouraged me to choose it. This book is a complete guide to Rudraksha from both spiritual and scientific perspectives. I truly wonder how someone can write such an insightful book on Rudraksha—kudos to the author! The book covers Rudraksha's history, benefits, types, dos and don'ts, etc among other topics. Many points are presented in bullet form, making it easy and enjoyable to read. The myths surrounding Rudraksha are also explained in a dedi...

Book Review: Sailing Through Life: Life Lessons For Young Adults by Varun Wadhwa

S ailing Through Life: Life Lessons For Young Adults written by Varun Wadhwa. This book falls under the self-help genre. The title reflects its theme perfectly. I also like the colorful cover design. I am someone who loves to read both fiction and non-fiction, by non-fiction, I mean self-help books. This month, my self-help read is 'Sailing Through Life: Life Lessons for Young Adults.' Although the title specifies 'For Young Adults,' I believe this book can be enjoyed by anyone. I think the author included that phrase because young adults need some extra guidance during their age. This book serves as a guide for younger generations, particularly when they are making important life decisions. Since the life lessons presented are based on the author’s own hits and misses, they feel real, raw, and deep. The book also includes some spiritual and meditation guidance. Topics covered include overcoming shyness, the importance of speaking up, how failure molds us, how to use ou...
