Book:    Circle Of Three Author:  Rohit Gore ISBN:     9381841152 Publisher:Grapevine Number of Pages: 256 Mr. Rohit Gore grew up in a number of towns in India and has a degree in Engineering and MBA. He loves doing things that can satisfy the creative daemon inside him. Mr. Gore has two national bestsellers on his name, viz. ‘ A Darker Dawn ’ and ‘ Focus, Sam ’. Here I have Mr. Gore’s third book called ‘ Circle Of three ’. At first, I assumed it a coincident that the book contains three in the name, but later as I explored the book, wonder continues. The Circle of Three is the story of three people who have lost all hope in life. One day, their paths cross and their destinies are forever changed. Thirteen year old Aryan Khosla has no friends, rarely meets his busy and quarrelling parents, and is tormented by a gang of school bullies. He feels his birth was a mistake and thinks no one would notice if he disappeared from this world. Thirty-three year old Ri

In dreams,  When you'll be away, Away from bitterness of life, Far from the pain of being alone, Alone for no reason, Away from the shadows of peace, And fake happiness, When only voice could be heard, Voice of your soul, When there will be no tears of sadness, The will become just a myth, I promise, I will always be around you, And will always wish you could stay, Stay for little longer, When morning will come, I won't stop and will let you go, Because I know, Soon you'll be back, Back in dream, in my Dream, And we will be together, again....

Book: Hilawi Author: Ritu Lalit ISBN:  8179917193 No. of Pages: 164 India is a country of myths and folklores. Every child is told many stories, ranging from pretty princesses, charming princes to hideous monsters and scary forests. However, the fight between good and evil is omnipresent in all of them. Such is the case of Hilawi, by Ritu Lalit, author of A Bowlful of Butterflies.

Will Hexagon be able to register its presence in a mostly rom-com loving youth?  Let’s find out.

In the middle of this facility is an ancient device made of stone adorned with mysteri

Every week, I read at least two books, and try to see standpoint of the writer. To read a writer’s story, one needs to push his/her imaginations and visualize the world of their words. It often leads to misinterpretation of thoughts and, in the end, kills the imagination. What if we don’t need to visualize? Oh Please, don’t trouble your brain, Mr. Ram Prakash and Ms. Deepa Pinto have a solution for you, The Stopover . First of its kind, a Photo Fiction! A blend of photography and writing. First time when I heard about this book, it reminded me of my travelogues (Biker Diaries) that always had a story behind the nomad adventures and pictures in support of it, but it was just a travelogue. “The Stopover” promise you to take on a voyage of four uncharted places through four stories with over 100 amazing photographs. I got to read sample chapter of story “The Tibetan Wheel of Wisdom” (Courtesy Ms. Deepa Pinto), and found the story very gripping and tempting photographs made
