Nights are the times of real emotions. Mundane of the days may dilute what we feel but at night there is no hiding. Love - a teenager's fantasy, a dying man's first experience, a friend's playfulness, a person's hope… Love comes in varied forms and under different circumstances is expressed in a million ways. As the hours of the night changes, so changes the intensity of emotions and the lives of people make into new stories.An insight intoLives - poles apart from each other - guided by the touch of one common feeling, the stirrings of love. As you walk deeper into your nights be assured there is a shadow just for you.


My views -

Shadows of the night by Priyanka Lal is an anthology of 13 short stories. Its one of the best anthology I had come across, ranging various emotions and thoughts.

The stories were all of the true emotions, feelings, love, friendship, humour, pain, betrayal. These captivating stories keep the readers glued till the end.

The titles of 13 stories are,

1. Love at Sixteen
2. The Goan Chase
3. Twist of Fate
4. Shadows of the Night
5. Two can Play
6. Things... That Happen by Chance
7. Celebration of Loss
8. Language of Love
9. Wishes and Sighs
10. Life is to Live
11. Death do us Part
12. The Last Wish and a New Beginning
13. Does Love Last Forever

All the titles are quite interesting. My favourite is "Love at Sixteen" was a girl realize her first ever love. I liked the way the author narrated it and kept control over the story. It was very refreshing while reading this novel I must say. The language and vocabularies are simple and lucid.

Do pick the book " Shadows of the night " - An anthology of unique, emotional, feelings and a great read.

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.

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 ?
