When Opposites Meet by Sachin Garg My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blurb - What happens when opposites meet? When two completely different people find themselves drawn to each other? Can they really find happiness together? Can wheelchair-bound Ritwika find a chord that connects her to national-level athlete Chetan? Will Aditi's irrepressible cheerfulness restart Jayant's life, put on indefinite pause since his parents' death? Does Indu, happily divorced, rediscover her faith in love with the reclusive Lokesh?

Undelivered Letters by J. Alchem My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blurb -  Aron, a postman with Marioson Postal Service, found an abandoned bag. It had a few letters that were supposed to be delivered - 20 years ago. He had a choice, either to deliver them now or abandon them forever. He chooses the former. What were these letters all about? Who wrote them? Who are the recipients? Do these letters still carry a value, after 20 years? My views - Undelivered letters by J. Alchem is an good conceptual fiction story. Short read of around 30 minutes available on Amazon (Kindle format). I had a chance of reading Author's previous work "A Highway Man" a beautiful novella contains 2 short stories. So eventually when starting this one I expected the same kind of good work from him and he doesn't failed this time too. A good storyline about a postman forgetting to deliver 9 letters unfortunately, he found those undelivered letters after 20 years. What will he d

Review: HARAPPA: Curse of the Blood River

HARAPPA: Curse of the Blood River by Vineet Bajpai My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blurb - The story oscillates from history to mythology, from occult to religion, from exorcism to gunfights, from taantrics to warriors, from love to ambition. It knits 3,700 years, powerful ancient and modern-day characters and a nail-biting conspiracy - all in one literary thriller. Harappa is the first among a series of four books.  2017, Delhi – Vidyut’s dying ancestor summons him to Banaras. The old Brahmin chieftain of the Dev-Raakshasa Matth, or the God-Demon Clan, bears a chilling secret. Their bloodline carries an ancient curse that will plague mankind - towards its own violent extinction. 1700 BCE, Harappa – Harappa is a magnificent city on the banks of the mighty Saraswati river. The darkness of treachery, taantric exorcism and bloodshed unleashes itself on the last devta, paving the way for his devastating revenge…and the horrifying truth behind the fall of the glorious civilisation. 2017, Pa
