Title: Letters In the Rain

Authors: Anubhav Shrivastava

Ananya Roy

Publisher: Rumour Books India

Blurb: Quite early in his life, Aman had been labelled a 'weirdo'. His side-parted, oil soaked hair and gawky physique made him the butt of jokes among his peers. There is nothing spectacular in his life—he studies all day, has never had an interaction with a girl that lasted more than five minutes, and scribbles his inner musings into his best friend, a personal diary.

Deep down, however, the guilt of being considered a social killjoy by the society starts to have a negative impact on him. When forced out of his solitary shell into the action-infused warehouse that is 'college', Aman's life takes a drastic U-Turn. Owing to a Chemistry project, he is forced to partner up with Kiara—a cheerful, carefree soul who tucks away her dark, brooding past upon arriving in Manipal. What follows is a series of awkward encounters and quirky adventures; ones that throw them in the deep end and make them face their worst fears.

Review: “Letters In The Rain” is the second book by Anubhav, his first book “One Last Time” Was just an amazing I really liked his writing style. And this time also I can say he managed to stay at his mark and again impressed me by his tale.for me this is the first book by Ananya Roy and I’m impressed with her too.

The book is quite small in size but the story which is present in the book was just amazing. I must say that the book cover looks great.

The story starts with the boy called Aman a topper, Aman doesn’t like to interact with other people around him and his Parent's also worried about his behavior against other people around him. When he joined the college he never changed anything in his behavior neither his Personality and then He meets Kiara Mehta there. She is a hazel-eyed girl who needs only good food and good music to be happy. Her happy exterior conceals a dark past. And with the entry of Kiara into the Aman’s life and things start to change. Authors had shown the perfect college life in this book.

I really enjoyed the book, I bet you won’t be bored while reading this book and yes I personally recommend you to read Anubhav’s first book “One Last Time”.

Khilji manages to breach the fortress but it goes in vain as the Queen chooses to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect her dignity.

Review :

Introduction: What can I say about this movie, whatever I would say will be less to the effort that Director Bhansali has put into this? There were lots of outrage against the movie, many wanted to kill or hang the Director and the actors of the movie, but after watching it I salute Bhansali who has beautifully directed the movie. The movie celebrates the pride of Chittor Rajpoot and Rajpootana, the movie also celebrates the pride of Chittor women.

Story: The story of the movie is more or less already in the public domain. You can easily google and find out about Queen Padmavati. But let me tell you what is there in the movie.
Alauddin Khilji (Ranvir Singh) becomes the Sultan of Khilji dynasty by killing his uncle Jalaluddin Khilji( played by Raja Murad), one day Alauddin comes to know that there is one of the most beautiful women in Chittor called Padmavati. Upon hearing this he started dreaming about Padamavati and wanted to make her his queen. Will he succeed in his dream or not for that you will have to watch the movie.

Acting: Deepika Padukone in the role of Queen Padmavati has done a superb job. She has completely come out as Queen Padmavati.
Ranveer Singh in the role of Alauddin Khilji has done a brilliant job, acting-wise this is again an award-winning performance by him.  This is one of the most negative character played by an actor on the screen. Don’t know why he chose this role. Does he choose challenge over goodness?
Shahid Kapoor as King Ratan Singh has impressed me a lot, he has not only done the complete justice to the character but has taken the applaud from the audience as well. In the time to come, this movie will be remembered for Shahid Kapoor’s brilliant work.

Direction: The movie is Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. His first movie was Khamoshi in the year 1996, it’s been almost 25 years and in the last 25 years many directors came and disappeared due to lack of understanding of cinema or lack of filmmaking skill and in some cases both, but Bhansali is different from those, he is the one who does not only know about cinema but he has the best filmmaking skill as well. By heart, he is a musician and that is an add-on to his filmmaking skill.

Final Verdict: The movie will be remembered as one of finest work by an Indian filmmaker.

4.5 Star. A must watch.

But while traveling to this journey Tiasha got confused between Passion and Profession. She got selected for a Training season by a top Advertising company and Aakaash also got selected for the same but Aakaash focused on Passion and Tiasha opted to follow her profession and she decided to go for a Training just to experience the something new from it which can help her for her restaurant. Aakaash were getting certain fame just because of his talent of stand up and his videos are getting viral on the internet. 
Tiasha’s parents were very supportive to Tiasha and never forced her to do anything she is free to take her decision, and in the case of Aakaash his family was little different from Tiasha’s Family his father always forced him to get a Job but his Grandpa was supportive to him. They are best friends no doubt but somewhere they are in love Will they confess their love? Will Tiasha get what she wants from life?

Review - The Aravan Heads by Arvind Narsima

The book is provided by Arudhaa Club

Title : The Aravan Head

Author : Arvind Narsima

Publisher : Inspire India

Pages : 259

Blurb: A politically driven criminal syndicate tries to steal a valuable ancient artifact, The Aravan Head, from a very old temple of the transgenders in Hijravan. Police officer Arya foils the well planned attempt. The incident unfolds a deadly secret that connects to a series of mind-boggling crimes which points to an unlikely person of tremendous authority in the political & business circles of Mumbai. With his friends kidnapped, his own people involved with the criminals and himself facing departmental enquiry, Arya is strangulated from all sides. Meanwhile in Delhi, 4 college girls, fed-up with the canteen food, hire a cook. While they expect an old, typically professional person, they are in for a great surprise that leaves them sweetly shocked. But the surprise is short lived after a beautiful transgender arrives at their bungalow revealing secrets that baffle them. Unfortunately the lives of the 4 girls become a nightmare along with that of the transgender. Did Arya arrest the main perpetrator behind all the crimes? What dangers did the Transgender bring to the girls? Did they survive the deadly situation they were pushed into? What price did Arya pay to win?

Review: Cover of the book is just amazing with an attractive look, Ajitabha Bose cover designer of "The Aravan Head" did an amazing job, cover and the content of the book makes the book beautiful and this book is a very good example of that.

Let's talk about the plot of the book, as this is the first time I picked Arvind's book and I must say Arvind did an amazing job, I hardly read any Thriller genre book and picked this.

The story starts with three different incidents of three different locations but after reading the book you will get to know there is some connection between all the incidents and this will surely thrill you.

I love the way Author had narrated the story it looks like watching a movie with amazing screenplay because in this book one chapter is about past and another chapter is about a present.
The book deals various issues like Political system is corrupt in India., LGBT acceptance in society. systemic rot in police department, theft and smuggling of our ancient heritage in form of idols & Human trafficking

I like the way author have introduced the Arya the police officer same like a movie star. the story revolves around The Aravan Head, from a very old temple of the transgender in Hijravan, &  Arya, the police inspector and his quest on finding the person who attempted the theft of the Aravan Head.

in starting I got really confused while reading because the reading this whole book is like a solving a puzzle and when you complete the reading you will get to know that every chapter of the book is very important for this book, which you can't skip, The perfect combination of thrill, love, hurt, cheat, romance and most of all the history, and yes I'm waiting for Arya again in next book by Arvind.

Positive Points: Narration and the Plot.

Negative Points: While mentioning the places of incidents there is a small spelling mistakes i'm giving one example of it, in book you will found Bhandra but in actual its a Bandra and few more present in the book

Recommendation : Reader of thrilling novel with mystery can read this.

Review - One Last Time

Title: One Last Time

Publisher : Write India Publisher

Pages : 176 

Price :  ₹ 175 (As printed on the book)

Blurb : 

Nakul, a fifteen-year- old boy from Delhi who has been raised with a silver spoon, visits a quaint little village in Madhya Pradesh. The crudeness and modesty of the village changes how he perceives different aspects of life. There he comes across Prakash, the son of a paddy farmer, who is the yin to his yang - their contrasting ideas on life fail to stunt the growth of their nascent friendship as ultimately it is their exuberance and a taste for adventure that bring them together. 
In the midst of their tale is the charming and talented Aakanksha who lives in the shadow of a spotlight. 
She goes through the motions of life according to the perceived ideals of society, consistently feeling a void, for she lacks a genuine friend. 
One Last Time is an eclectic and delectable fusion of Nakul's superficial urbane sensibilities, Aakanksha's confounded solitude and Prakash's rustic but sagely naiveties - one that will change their destinies forever.
