Dasharajna: The Battle of Ten Kings by Shankar Kashyap
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb - 

This is the story based on the main event within the seventh book of Rigveda. It is the story of an epic battle between Sudas of Bharatas and Cayamana of Anus leading confederacy of ten disgruntled kings. It takes place on the banks of River Ravi, it is also battle between the two of the most powerful sages of Rigveda-Vashista and Vishwamitra.Extensive research into the vedic scriptures and archaeological records have helped to create a fascinating insight into the geography of the battle. 

It is the battle whose result is paradigm shifting in that the outcome decided the future of the great epics of India-Ramayana and Mahabharatha.


My views -

Dasharajna by Shankar N. Kashyap is the mythological novel based on seventh book of RigVeda as stated in the blurb. Starting from the cover it is well designed with hardcover.

The story is about battle on banks of river Ravi, where the battle tooks place between Sudas & Cayamana. In the whole story I was amazed with author's detailed story telling, Shankar kashyap is so accurate in landscape, timings.

The book comes in 3rd of Harappa series which is fascinating and creates desires to read other novels too. A 306 page of griping historic rewind. This will be a delight for all mythological readers out there. Just pick this novel to dwell in past and look back the majestic.

The man you know... the journey you don't

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, one of the most known person in India.  A man who changes the dimensions of Indian cricket team. We all read and listen to his day to day activities somewhere daily, in it. What makes this biopic special? Why it is must watchable? Eventually all will see how he is only after becoming a celebrity but we doesn't know the other side of a coin. A goal keeper to wicket keeper, A ticket collector to biggest trophy winner. Being a celebrity we all loves but ever noticed difficulties in it? You know the man who hits last ball six in ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 but the efforts behind that, did you know? Did you ever imagine how he would be before playing for India & after playing for India. Just imagine how the life of man who is noticeable by media will be? The questions may many but answer was within this biopic only. Did you ever blamed Dhoni for team India loosing? If yes means you have biggest responsibility of watching his biopic.

Review: BARS and BEATS

BARS and BEATS by Venkat My rating: 5 of 5 stars Blurb - Weaving through the glamorous studios, the recording booths and the mixing consoles, this is the story of John-a violinist, and his very close talented technician friend Sundar, who works for the country’s best music composers.  The immensely talented artists like Rajashekar and Rahim are striving to give their best, but will they be able to hold on to their own spaces and face the challenges thrown by the hidden enemy?  With changing technology, the problems are also new-fangled.  The sweat, sleaze, stains, and the inside stories of hard work of the real audio recording world, passing through different periods, come to life through the characters who endeavor to attain success and fame.  The wretched ones are trying to take advantage of the weak, and an underlying real threat of piracy is looming large on the lives of the entire music industry folk.  Will the enemy be trapped ?
