The book shows urban relationships with quite ease. Written so beautifully and being unflinchingly honest, this book explores the marriage of Rohan and Ira. Being married for only fifteen months, they are quite comfortable living in Delhi with their dog Momo. One day, Ira decides to leave for New York to study. And then begins Rohan’s life without her. His friends, Yusuf, Alisha and Tanuj help him live without Ira.

Rohan is smoothly living his life without Ira, when one day, during the call, Ira tells him the real reason of going to New York. Well, I’m not going to disclose the reason. Rohan’s life after that changes drastically, he’s almost on the verge of losing himself to depression, when Yusuf’s Delhi visit changes him.

The author weaves the story naturally, blending in it the values of love, friendship, aloofness, relationship, and time. Ira is the star of the book, as she follows her dream and goes to US. Rohan is also good at his place, as the caring husband, cheerful friend.

Tanuj, Yusuf, Gaurav, Alisha support Rohan in absence of Ira, and are Rohan’s well wishers.

The book is a reality check of new – age marriages, and is written beautifully. ❤

Definitely Recommended to every bibliophile.

The book starts with a young Vihaan giving his dad and his friend a business idea to sell more kites than the other shopkeepers & his idea becomes successful.

The book is a light read, with some serious business talks and chunks of comedy equally depicted.

Vihaan as the college dropout is just boring, with nothing much to do. He's obsessed with Raina, a girl he loves. And, to ensure he remains in her mind, Vihaan wants to buy the hoarding near her apartment. And, he drops out of college just to do that.

Parth, as the tea vendor, is nothing but a Hindi - speaking goon, just yelling or speaking some expletives. But, he provides some comic timing to this book. And, he gives Vihaan some ideas about business.

Other characters are written to fulfill the purpose of fitting them into the book.
Overall, a one - time decent read, according to me.

The book is an inspirational - cum - romance book, tracing the life of Rudra who is an assistant director in the Maximum City of Mumbai. He aspires to be an actor but can't fulfill his dream because of one condition - he stammers. Due to his condition, he has to face a lot of humiliation wherever he goes.

He gets some support in Ankur, his best friend and Shivani, his neighbour, in his frustrating life. He meets a girl called Richa and love gives him a ray of hope. When  she breaks up with him, heartbreak devastates him and he spins into a downward spiral that eventually pushes him to rock bottom, leading him to be an alcoholic.

He drinks to forget Richa and is somehow successful in doing so. Then, Mumbai secludes him by making him lose his home, job, the girl he loved - evertything. He befriends a bar dancer called Devika and she gives him some positivity in life. He gets optimistic and starts living peacefully, forgetting his dark past.

She helps him with his speech therapy, gets him a film as the main lead, although he is reluctant to do it because of its genre, but he agrees to do it as he remembers Devika's help for him. Ankur makes him a big star by promoting his film and becomes his agent.

He gets what he wanted -  recognition as an actor, respect by people. He marries Shivani and lives a happy life.

The book is written so perfectly that barring only two grammatical mistakes, I couldn't find any major mood - dampening thing. Rishi sir writes this book as a struggle of a stammering guy finding his space in Mumbai.

The book is very inspirational, and enjoyable. Rishi sir has done an incredible job while writing the book, I’m deeply impressed by his writing. ❤

I would recommend it to everyone. ❤❤

The book is written from the author’s viewpoint. Describing every single resident of Paradise Towers with ease, the author connects the audience with the characters of the book convincingly. The lives of the residents of the building are shown to be a amalgamation of happiness and tension, and what they don’t miss is snooping on each other’s lives. The reader is reminded of his own neighbours and their nature by reading about the residents of the towers. The tensions, fights, happy moments, all are captured perfectly by the author. She doesn’t miss out on using humour and sarcasm in some places.

A fresh take on the lives of people in high – rise apartments, Paradise Towers is the well – written platter of how people live in these sky-touching flats, their habit of snooping in each other’s lives, how incidents happening in front of them change their lives, and how the residents are close-knit.

Written in a very simple English, the book shines out! ❤

Overall, I really enjoyed the book and will recommend it to everyone for it is a light read, and can be finished in a single day. I loved it for its simplicity, although it could have been written in a more close-knit manner.

The book is fast-paced, full of suspense and drama. Written very beautifully, the book traces the struggle of Tashi to get her integrity and respect safe from the clutches of the blackmailer, a stranger holding some semi-naked pictures of her. Tashi is shattered to the core when the blackmailer threatens her of releasing her compromising pictures on the internet and sharing them with her family and colleagues. Torn between safeguarding her respect and following the blackmailer’s demands, Tashi manages to fulfill his demands as well as register a complaint with the Cyber Cell of the Police after Manav, a friend of her, intervenes.

The book is an absolute perfect package, with no loose strings or poor writing or what other bibliophiles say, ‘poor framing’. I loved it to the core, enjoyed it and finished it in like half an hour! The author shares her own bad experience of social media in this book, although from the eyes of Tashi.

Some tense conversation between the blackmailer and Tashi grips the reader to finish the book in first read only. The book is really interesting.

Definitely loved and enjoyed the book. Perfect writing, easy narration, and a story that blurs the thin line between online bullying and a full-blown real-life ordeal, What Did Tashi Do? highlights the importance of security while posting pictures on social media, and the alertness to be shown while doing so. The author keeps the reader on the edge with mind-numbing and flawless writing. ❤
Definitely Recommended! ❤

The book, a fantasy romance or a paranormal romance by genre, is a wonderfully written book. Full of suspense, action, romance - the book promises to give the reader a full view of the fantasy world. Gabriels knits this book beautifully, with suspense on almost every single page. Summer, the protagonist, is a bold and fearless lady, knowing how to fight and use a weapon. She mastered this art of war, for she feels alone and in danger by the vampires, faes and other supernatural entities.

As far as the other characters are concerned, they play their part flawlessly and effectively. The way the author describes the other world is quite amazing and intriguing. The book keeps the reader hooked into the story from the beginning till the end.

I fully enjoyed the book, and eagerly await the second part of the book. This one's a definitely recommended from my side.

The author beautifully writes the “Real Love” and weaves her story around it flawlessly. Durjoy and Nadia are married, yet they are separated. Nadia thinks of Durjoy as being mad as called by the society and ignores him greatly, yet Durjoy loves her till the end. Kavya Sharma runs the story through letters that Nadia reads, written by Durjoy before he died, after she is released from the asylum. Through these letters, she comes to know that Durjoy loved her endlessly and she was to be blamed for ignoring him.

The words written in the book are simple, yet meaningful. Full of imagery, similes and other figures of speech, Kavya Sharma takes the reader into an another world where love is described through words, food, emotions. The plus point of the book is that it stays true to the value of “Real Love” from the beginning till the end.

All characters in the book are shown in detail and exquisitely. Each letter stirs up a storm in the reader’s mind about love as a pure form of expression. And every letter is written meticulously. Overall, the book is a perfect blend of love, heartbreak, tragedy. The author has written it in such a manner that the reader will be left to ponder upon what is true love and how letters can become a great way of depicting love.
