The Three Wise Monkeys - BOOK REVIEW 4

Image
Blurb - The trio—Amar, Akbar, and Anthony—had no clue whatsoever about their goddammit indecisive-careers-and-indefinite-struggles. And that was because they were born with the Peter Pan Syndrome and were simple enough to be tricked by anyone, including their mystifying girlfriends—Meghna, Farah, and Sarah. And as is the fate of all morons, they were drawn into trouble—deep trouble—of hiding crores of rupees of black money in secret offshore companies. Will their mistake of turning a blind eye to the philosophy of ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’ cost them their careers and put them in prison?  Or  Will Lady Luck change their fortunes forever? My View - The Three Wise Monkeys by Jeet Gian. " Life is exciting when you have money, honey, and cronies. And then you are hunted down by the police!

Review 3: GO CLOWN

GO CLOWN #AccheDin for Comedy!  Blurb- When Baby Kiriti arrived in this world, he was like a lost butterfly in a sea of white. A baby who is born and thrust into the huge sea of humanity called India, rides and steers his destiny ship, as he constantly grapples with the Clown inside him, who meanwhile brings out his own set of funny oars in these troubled waters.  The Clown's journey continues on from a Karma-Guru to a trader of special water from Europe (thanks to his Made-in-China friend!), and from a music director (the Bad-Boy theme!) to the founder of a school, and a dirty sock to a sex-crazed, horny bunch of young fellas.

Review 2: From Zero To One

Blurb - He thought of the day when he had prayed here first... alone, stranded amidst misery and absolute devastation. He didn't have a will or a way that day. And then, a dream had appeared.... About the author - Maneesha Agarwal (MVG) is a well-read and widely travelled writer, who started her journey with pen through a few published travelogues. She has also worked as an editor with an autonomous government body for three years. MVG always had a penchant for deep thinking, leading her to study Sanskrit to gain insight into the Indian school of thought m This, coupled with her erudite fascination for history and exploring obscure places, has promoted her creativity to crave a fable out of folklore, which she presents in her first book, From zero to one. My view - From Zero to One: The Story of Manu by Maneesha Agarwal is an mythological fiction. The concept of the novel given the grip to read in one go. A novel of 140 pages which covers what is essential to story.
