My Review:

Lying in State is a nail biting story about the Two Islands – Idyllia and Megaloman. Idyllia is a gold rich island. It’s neighboring Island Megaloman is it’s rival as it wants to forcefully take the gold deposit of Idyllia. Megaloman is militarily powerful island. One French legionnaires Pierre got to know about the gold deposits from the logbooks of Uncle Dominique Giancarlo Dijon. It was destiny’s wish that he got his hands on this logbook. What happens next in the story was thrilling.

This is not just a mystery and suspense thriller. It has a tinge of philosophical thoughts also. I found this as a great book since it answers many philosophical questions regarding human existence. The twist and turn of the story will definitely blow your mind away. This is really a unique story that I would recommend to the adults.

Book Review: Life In Different Colors by Pratik P Sharda

Book Review: Life in Different Colors

Author: Pratik P Sharda

My Rating: 4/5

Format: Kindle

Life In Different Colors is a collection of Short Stories. These stories are unique and even leave a long lasting impact on reader’s heart. This book shows that life is not what we just experience and people are not just what we see. There is more to people behind what they choose to show to others.

Out of these stories collection, my favorite story is “Love At First Sight“. I myself believe in the concept that “Love has no age limit“. This is really a nice and cute love story. In this Vasudev Sharma, an old man was sitting in the porch of his house with his best friend Sukhdev Verma. A truck came in front of their house followed by an auto. It was of their new neighbors. Vasudev’s eyes fell on a lady in old sixties who came out from the auto. Her name was Madhuvanti. Vasudev fell in love at first sight with her. She looked like the actress Saira Banu to him. 

One day Vasudev gathered the guts and asked Madhu ji, do you like me? Grab a copy of this book and read yourself whether Madhuvanti said yes or got frustrated. Each story will take not more than half an hour to finish it. The language of the book is lucid and one can read these stories in short breaks between work or while traveling also.

Book Review: Baby On Board by Sonia Sahijwani

Book: Baby on Board

Author: Sonia Sahijwani

Format: Paperback

My Rating: 4/5

Baby On Board is a non fiction Story. It is about an extraordinary pregnancy journey of the author herself. Sonia has shared her fears, doubts and the positive attitude in this book. Mother to be always depends on her mother or mother-in-law during pregnancy or post delivery but author has trusted her husband and involved her in her entire pregnancy journey. Through this book, author has highlighted how important it is for a men to be involved and take interest as a father to be. 

The book covers the pregnancy journey of the author. It covers what the couple has done before planning to conceive till the delivery of a healthy baby. The book has very well highlighted that it is important to have a healthy mind and body for a couple to bring a baby in this world. A couple should be well updated by reading and gaining knowledge about pregnancy. I agree with the author when she said that C-section is also normal. We should focus on the thing that mother and baby is healthy instead of focusing on whether a baby is born through normal delivery or C-section. 

This is a must read book. Well informative. Looking forward for more books from the author.

The story is based on the fictional representation of the place Kashmir, Kashwarg.

In response to their demand, the government sets up a committee to investigate this case. The story also involves Aryaman Zafar’s adventures. Aryaman is a member of independent kashwarg Force.
