K. SATCHIDANANDAN Vavachan is a Pulayan who gets the opportunity to play a policeman with an immense moustache in a musical drama. The character appears in only two scenes and has no dialogue. However, Vavachan's performance, and his moustache, terrify the mostly upper-caste audience, reviving in them memories of characters of Dalit power, such as Ravanan. Afterwards, Vavachan, whose people were traditionally banned from growing facial hair, refuses to shave off his moustache. Endless tales invent and reinvent the legend of his magic moustache in which birds roost, which allows its owner to appear simultaneously in different places and disappear in an instant, which grows as high as the sky and as thick as rainclouds - and turn Vavachan into Moustache, a figure of mythic proportions. Set in Kuttanad, a below-sea-level farming region on the south-west coast of Kerala, the novel is as much a story of this land as it is of Vavachan and its other inhabitants. As they navigate the intricate waterscape, stories unfold in which ecology, power dynamics and politics become key themes. Originally published in Malayalam as Meesha, S. Hareesh's Moustache is a contemporary classic mixing magic, myth and metaphor into a tale of far-reaching resonance.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><u>Review</u> -</b> Moustache by S. Hareesh translated by Jayasree Kalathil.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would say this novel has something unique. To be honest, In the beginning, I wasn't able to connect with the story, But when I started reading with more attention, I felt a connection to the story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The story is set in Kuttanad, a below-sea-level farming region on the south-west coast of Kerala, the novel is as much a story of this land as it is of Vavachan and its other inhabitants. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Vavachan, the protagonist plays a beautiful role in this novel which is a blend of Magic, Myth and Metaphor. Vavachan is a Pulayan who gets the opportunity to play a policeman with an immense moustache in a musical drama. He got a chance to appear in only two scenes with no dialogue. However, Vavachan's performance, and his moustache, terrify the mostly upper-caste audience, reviving in them thoughts of characters of Dalit power. Afterwards, Vavachan, whose people were traditionally banned from growing facial hair, just because they belong to the lower social caste order, refuses to shave off his moustache and decides to grow his moustache further. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To know what is waiting for Vavachan after his decision you have read this beautiful book.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The author has approached the delicate subject in a well-polished way. The characters lived through every page. Though the outline may look simple - "Dalits Vs Upper-Caste", the struggle and pains which they have gone through during the British rule couldn't have been described better than this. The book also talks about so many issues like caste discrimination, misuse of powers, poverty, etc. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I must say that the author has done a great job by presenting this kind of story to read also a big thanks to the translator for delivering this story across the readers who can't read and understand Malayalam.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Your understanding of the occult is about to change. There are no vampires here, no werewolves. These are stories of life interrupted by forces unknown: energy flowing dark and silent from unspoken fears, repressed desires and small-town secrets. Set in hauntingly beautiful hill-stations, the sleepy lanes of Lucknow and breath-taking Rishikesh, these stories explore cities and the characters they coil around: whether it is a waiter disillusioned with the world around him, a school boy followed everywhere by a pig, a lawyer who wears a tiger claw at his neck for virility, or a young woman as much in love as she is in mortal danger. Here, in these eerily quiet worlds, are stories of horror that come from the most familiar of places, where nothing is ever as it seems.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Blrub:</b> Aisha Chaudhary was born with S.C.I.D (severe combined immune deficiency) and underwent a bone-marrow transplant when she was six months old. She lived in New Delhi, where she was born. The year 2014 was brutal for Aisha as her disease progressed, and her lungs started giving up on her. The last few months of the year felt like a roller-coaster ride, one that seemed to be mostly going down. Spending almost all her time lying in bed, Aisha wrote down her thoughts to get some relief, to get them out of her head. Aisha’s life was not anything like the average life of an urban teenager, but she had experienced a lifetime of emotions; life and death, fear and anger, love and hate, the depths of utter sorrow and the happiest one can be. In my Little epiphanies she took a hard look at her own feelings and what it was that gave her a sense of hope and control. This book gave her life purpose and meaning, something to hold on to. Sometimes, Aisha’s little epiphanies had morphed into doodles that capture what was going on in her mind as her destiny played itself out. Through the book she wanted the world to understand her unusual life and she hoped that it will inspire others, going through similar hardships, to find peace.</span></div>

Then there came the thud of a body falling…’ for lovers of the supernatural and the macabre comes this collection of ghostly and chilling tales from Agatha Christie.

Finally together in one volume, it shines a light on the darker side of Agatha Christie, one that she herself relished, identifying ten of them as ‘My own favourite stories written soon after the mysterious affair at styles, some before that’. contains 20 stories.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Postscript is a Sequal to PS I love you (One of the much-awaited books of the year). If you are planning to read Postscript I would strongly recommend you to read "P.S. I Love You", first to know Holly's story.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Blurb -</u></b> In April 1971, the Indian Navy's Directorate of Naval Intelligence set up a covert maritime warfare unit - Naval Commando Operations (X) (NCO[X]). This black unit's existence was known to very few even within the navy. Its covert operation aimed at disrupting the maritime commerce lines that sustained the Pakistan Army in its eastern province. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Over the next few months, this irregular unit, comprising Indian naval officers, divers, and former Pakistani submariners, set to work. They transformed over 400 Bengali youths from East Pakistan into combat swimmers, trained to assault merchant ships. The gunboats of NCO(X)'s naval wing mined shipping channels and harassed shipping entering East Pakistan. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The ferocious campaign waged by this tiny unit was without precedent in the annals of naval warfare. They sank and disabled over 100,000 tonnes of shipping in the province , in support of the government of Bangladesh in exile. Their actions contributed towards India's ultimate victory in the eastern theatre of the December 1971 Indo-Pak war. Revealed for the very first time, here is the explosive authentic account - co-authored by a key NCO(X) member - of the guerrilla operation that went for the maritime jugular of Pakistan, and facilitated the birth of Bangladesh.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u>Review -</u></b> A gripping narration of Operation X which highlights the very important behind scenes which are truly interesting.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We indians don't need any description to admit how brave our soldiers are, And when this kind of book which highlights something of which we are not aware of is the point of my attraction.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The initial part which Highlights the history of India and East/West Pakistan is very informative to understand the whole picture. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We all know or heard about the 1971 war for the liberation of Bangladesh but none of us probably know about the covert operations that the brave jawans of Indian Army, Navy and Air Force undertook quietly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> This book tells you about each step of covert operations from start to end, this book also contains the interviews and classified records and the background, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The book beautifully describes how Indian Nave had contributed in the covert operations that helped liberate Bangladesh and how Indian Armed Forces and Mukti Bahini assault against very formidable and cruel Pakistani forces.</span></div>

So, he invites them to his remote Greybrooke Manor in the misty Nilgiris - a mansion that has played host to several sudden deaths; a colonial edifice that stands alone in a valley that is said to be haunted by the ghost of an Englishman. But Bhaskar has other, more practical problems to deal with. He knows that his guests expect to gain by his death, and to safeguard himself against violence, he writes two conflicting wills. Which one of them comes into force will depend on how he dies. Into this tinderbox, he brings Harith Athreya, a seasoned investigator. When a landslide occurs, temporarily isolating them and resulting in a murder, Athreya finds that murder is not the only thing the mist conceals.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">I haven't read any of the previous books by RV Raman so far this was the first time I picked this book and now I became a fan of his writing. A will to Kill is the first book of a murder mystery series by RV Raman in which he introduces Atherya an Investigator with a sharp-minded. Who leads the whole book until the end.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The way he portrays the story and, with every chapter you read you get engaged with the story, you can't predict what is going to happen next while reading which I think the best thing while reading. There are many locations present in this book but there are two major locations. With every chapter, a new question will develop into your mind</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">The book will prove all your prediction wrong when you reach the climax.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">Highly recommended to the mystery and thriller lover and those who want to start reading this genre can pick this book which will surely impress you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A single betrayal can cost you everything... 1998. Twenty-two-year-old Mina is moving to the US from Bangalore to begin a new life with her husband. Then there’s a horrific murder and her life is turned upside down. Mina’s best friend Neelu helps her out of the abyss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mina gradually leaves her past behind and settles into a new life in the US. Years later, she is forced to return to India and is confronted by the demons from her past. In her fragile mental state, she is unable to support Neelu in her time of need. Their friendship hits rock bottom. Mina goes back to the US and faces further hurdles, this time on the work front. She tries to make amends with Neelu, but their friendship ends with Neelu accusing Mina of something unimaginable related to the murder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Something, that deep down, Mina knows is true... Will Mina redeem herself? Will the people she loves forgive her for what she did? Alternating between flashbacks and the present day, What Mina Did explores how one betrayal can have catastrophic consequences, while delving into the complex bonds that link mothers and daughters, and best friends.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My verdict - </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The plot could have been more interesting at many points the author has failed to engage the audience. well, the author has given her best as per her capacity and thinking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope so she will improve and come up with better than this in future. The cover of the book is well designed, but the title does not go with the plot of the book. This boo is also has something which I haven't revealed here to find out read this book.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Recommendation -</b> Readers can pick this book for one time read.</span><br />

And why did he leave the war in the first place? Prahlad, the interim king of Kashyapuri, is torn between the ideals of his unrighteous father and his love for Lord Vishnu. Whom will he choose?

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Blurb:</u> Game Changer is the riveting memoir of Shahid Afridi, one of modern cricket's most controversial and accomplished practitioners. In 1996, as a teenager, Afridi shot to fame after hammering the fastest ODI century at the time. One of the world's greatest all-rounders, today, he holds the distinction of having hit the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket scooping the most wickets in T20s and winning the most player-of-the match awards in the same format. From his humble beginnings in the mountains of Pakistan's unruly northwest to the mean streets of Karachi and the county parks of southern England, Afridi tells his life story just the way he bats - instinctively, candidly and with no holds barred. In a career as unpredictable as his leg-break googlies and 'boom-boom' power hitting, Afridi has been many things - the lost kid focused on pulling his parents out of poverty, the desperate captain trying not to snitch on his corrupt teammates, the gallant Pashtun centurion staring down a hostile Indian crowd, and the bad boy at the centre of a ball-tampering scandal. In Game Changer, he sets the record straight once and for all. A must-read not only for his legion of fans across the world but also for those interested in cricket and Pakistan's future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One tune. Three listeners. Three grisly suicides. The melody - an eerie piano symphony - is the last thing they hear. Leading an unremarkable existence in the sleepy town of Manali, Private Detective Dhruv is jolted into the heart of this case when he is hired by Misha, daughter of the first victim, Raina Awasthi. As he delves deeper into the mystery, threats against his life begin to multiply. It's soon clear that he is dealing with a conspiracy that goes far beyond suicides and murders, and that there is more at stake here than just his life. The shadows are closing in, and Dhruv is all that stands in their way.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The three different people who have nothing in common, Dhruv hasn't any idea about how this case going to change his life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<b><u><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Review:</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had never read any previous Holly Smale's book, and I chose this book for a new experience. And I'm very impressed with Holly's writing style and now she is one of my favorite authors.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The book comes with a very attractive cover HarperCollins never compromises with the quality of covers they are one of the professional publishers in the world I must say.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hope is the youngest of the famous Family, at nearly sixteen she isn't allowed in the spotlight yet but can't wait to be allowed as she dreams constantly of film style monologues and meeting the one, Hope is desperate for her future to begin. Hope has grown up in a famous family - her parents met on the set of a film - but out of the limelight. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Valentines have a family rule that has seen her coddled and protected from the media until she turns sixteen and Hope can’t wait. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All she wants is to be allowed to start acting as everyone else did in her family. She has three older siblings who barely notice her, and parents who aren't really about, as the story progresses Hope becomes a much more layered and enjoyable character. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She lives out her days fighting with her sisters, stealing their clothes. Hope’s daydreams appear in the novel as mini scripts complete with wistful actions and declarative dialogue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are a few cliches thrown in but there are also a few good one-liners and I enjoyed the family dynamic of the siblings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<u style="font-weight: bold;">Blurb</u>- Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the first novel of the much appreciated Harry Potter series. An abridged version of the same novel, this book has been brought out by Bloomsbury Press for children aged between eight and twelve years. The story unfolds with a letter arriving for Harry Potter, a simple boy, that brings with it a dark secret. The letter reveals to Harry Potter that both his parents were wizards and were killed by a Dark Lord’s curse when he was just a baby. Thereafter Potter's journey to the Hogwarts, a school of wizards brimming with magic, mystery and enchantment, spins out into a fascinating tale. After his journey to Hogwarts, young Harry learns of a missing stone — a stone which can be both terrifying and valuable at the same time, depending on who possesses it and how one uses it. Will Harry Potter and his friends be able to get hold of the stone is how the story unfolds from here on? It is here Harry Potter’s long journey spread over 7 books really begins. In simple words and rich prose, this children’s edition rightly captures the essence of the Harry Potter’s first novel and promises to take the children on an enchanting ride to the magical world order.</div>

<b><u>Review</u> - </b>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J. K. Rowling It's not just a story that you will read you will feel too, the characterization and the gripping story takes you to some different imaginary world, you won't even think that does this world exist or not. you will fall in love with each and every character present in this book. you may have seen the movie but I bet you will enjoy this novel more than the movie. in the movie, many scenes were skipped or not picturized just to keep the film short and not too long but in this book, you will find many things which aren't present in the film. now I became a fan of the Harry Potter series and I've decided to complete entire series by end of this year. I would like to thank one of my reader friend who suggested me to read this book. and you know what I haven't any movie of harry potter series which is the best thing. I will watch each movie in the series after reading the book of that part. to compare the differences.</div>

<b><u>Blurb:</u></b> Akshay Saxena, an out of work editor of a defunct literary magazine in the UK, is told to move to India for a year to help shore up the value of Kalim, an ailing Indian publisher. Akshay finds himself in a job where he has to do the impossible. Angus Lee, the new owner of Thomson Lee Books, wants at least five bestsellers in the coming year, failing which the business would be wound up. He has to find a way of making a success out of books he would never publish or would never even read. To complicate things further, he has to contend with motley crew of has-beens and misfits working for the publishing house as well as wannabe writers, dealing with their follies and derisive tactics, and battle his own affections for Zorah Kalim, the impulsive daughter of his former boss. Will he succeed in bringing out that one ‘bestseller’ from his publishing house? And what about his own life and love in office? Find out in this riveting read.</div>

<b><u>Review:</u></b> I always wanted to know about the publishing companies how they work on every single book. how they convert the raw manuscript into a book with attractive covers. and fond many things in this amazing book "Bestseller by Ahmed Faiyaz"</div>
The story starts with a dramatic way like a movie where a protagonist is in Taxi and having a small conversation with a taxi driver.<br />
The story is about Akshay and Zorah, Where Akshay got terminated from his job in the UK and he flew to India in a search of a job in Kalim Publications a company which is about to shut down. Zorah a daughter of the owner of Kalim Publication.<br />
Mr. Kalim an owner of Kalim Publications got a heart attack and he passed away after having a discussion with Akshay about their work. and Akshay took all the responsibilities on his shoulder to run Kalim Publications, and Zorah also joins the team of Kalim Publication.<br />
Author has done a fantastic job. and did the justice to each and every character. the writing style is also good it keeps you engaged.<br />
<br />
Will Akshay manages to run Kalim Publications? the question remains the same until you pick this books in your lovely hand and find out the answer.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Our lives are but a memorandum of the greatest moments that define us. While some get colored in shades of triumph and happiness, others find meaning in despair and woe. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is in them, and through various emotions of love, longing, heartbreak, estrangement and soul-searching we encounter along the way, that we finally find ourselves. Rarely do we revisit those forgotten lanes of the heart and dwell in the warmth of their solemnity. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Search Within is an extremely personal collection of poems by Anubhav Shrivastava that promises to ring hard on the deepest chords of the heart and pay homage to the gift called Life. </div>

<b><u>Review:</u></b> Volcanic Moments: Heart Popping Tales by Mona Mohanty</div>
<br />
Most of the readers pick the book by getting attracted to its cover. the cover designer of the book hasn't done a great job while designing the cover of this book, it could have been far better than this one, I strongly recommend the author to ask the publisher to change the cover of this book.<br />
If we ignore this issue which I had mentioned then the content present in this book is appreciatable. A perfect collection of 25 short stories based on various Genre which is the most interesting and best thing about this book.<br />
The author did the great work by using simple language and the writing style is just amazing well-narrated stories which not only entertain you but it will also inspire you. when I started reading this I was too confused why the author had decided to keep a title like this but slowly - slowly when I turned the pages and completed the book I understand the reason behind it.<br />
Every book lover can consider this book for a casual read.<br />

<u>Review: </u><span style="font-weight: normal;">Trailer of this book was present in the previous work by the Author.<br />The author did a great work by writing this book, the author tries to present a great mixture of a story where you will read a love story and things which can help you in your life and also a lot of focus on women's safety which is the best part of this book. How technology can help women in such situations. it clearly shows that the author did research before penning down the words for this book which is more important and that makes this book beautiful. I like the idea of Smart water bottles and many things like how Sanidhya developed an app for Sneha.<br />The author did the justice with the characters. I like the Sanidhya's character for his courage to follow his passion and for his interest in cooking he participated in one cooking show. in current time every girl's dream is to see this world without any rape and the problems that girls are facing in these days, Sneha also from those girls. There are many things present in this book which I can't mention here as I don't want to give spoilers better you read and learn many things from this book.<br />Every reader should read this amazing book from Science FIction Genre you that too from Indian Author</span></h3>
