Review of Secretly yours by Vikrant Khanna

Author: Vikram Khanna

Price: Rs. 125/-

Pages: 280

Genre: Romance, Thriller

I’ve not read any of Vikram Khanna’s previous books. Secretly Yours, he has a very simple style of writing and has filled his narrative with twists that make for a good potboiler. It is a romantic thriller with supernatural elements, that added the whole thrill of reading the book in a go.

The story revolves around the seventeen-year-old boy Sahil who falls in love with a mysterious girl called Anya. The story goes much beyond this and talks about suspicious multiple murders. Every murder happening in Shimla somehow surrounds around Sahil and Anya. They spend time together and Sahil expresses his feelings to Anya. Sahil is heartbroken and in a turn of events, he meets with an accident. It kills his grandmother and lands him in the hospital with a coma. When he recovers he gets the power to read minds. The accident brings him close to Anya. He discovers Anya and her gang’s secret and the mystery behind all the murders in Shimla.

However, the climax part was the most obvious one. More of a Bollywood style added in it.
Overall, it was a decent book. You’ll be hooked to it once you started reading it. I would say the book is good to read and will definitely recommend.

Zadie smith: Book Review: Swing time

Author: Zadie Smith Pages: 464 Price: INR 599 Genre: Fiction, Contemporary, Literary Fiction Swing Time is Zadie Smith’s fifth novel and for my money her finest. A “best friend bildungsroman” in the Elena Ferrante mould, the novel tells the story of two girls growing up on the wrong side of town. Residents of neighboring housing estates in London, the pair meet at a community dance class, one (the unnamed narrator) clever and self-doubting, the other (Tracey) confident and self-destructive. As with the Italian bestseller, the talented friend is the tortured one – prematurely sexual, rebellious at school, ungoverned at home – while the less gifted is an able student, determined to make it out of the neighborhood. It gives little away to say that she does, becoming an assistant to a pop star called Aimee. It is by Aimee’s side that she travels the world, jetting from winters to summers. For its plot alone, Swing Time makes for truly marvelous reading. The narrato

The Girl of My Dreams – Review

Review: The Girl of My Dreams, by Durjoy Datta Review of The Girl fo my dreams by Durjoy Datta Author: Durjoy Datta Price: Rs. 199 /- Pages: 288 Genre: Thriller I have first read “If it’s not Forever, then It’s not Love” by Durjoy Datta and loved his books from then on. However, The Girl of my Dreams is a genre change for Durjoy Datta. The book is a Thriller with love and obsession as the central theme. The book is about the Protagonist, Daman who is facing challenges in life after surviving a deadly car accident. His girlfriend, Shreyasi, was with him in the car and he feels that because he was driving that day and he is guilty of her death. Daman meets his new girlfriend, Avni who doesn’t like Daman mentioning Shreyasi, his virtual girlfriend in his writings. Even after Avni’s repeated appeal to him to name her instead of Shreyasi, he keeps using his virtual girlfriend’s name. The plot becomes chaotic when Shreyasi comes back to life, the plot becomes

It is my fault to be pretty

I am a flower, a daisy who used to live on top of a mountain. I lived among other daisies, some grass, and a few trees. Life as a daisy was very peaceful and enjoyable. Every morning I woke up and gazed at the crystal blue sky; it promised me another day. The sky would darken later on and the stars would say goodnight to me. I lived on a lonely hill, not many humans visited it. I liked it that way. I felt safe on the hill. I felt safe knowing that I had the grass, the trees, and other daisies around me. I felt safe knowing that the sky was blue and that is promised me another good day. I felt safe when the stars said goodnight to me and when the sky would darken. I liked living on the hill…correction, I loved living on the hill. One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was One day the sky didn’t wake up crystal blue, it was gray. I saw people on the hill. The people walked over to the other daisies. I watched someone pick one of the other daisies. The human couldn’t hear her sh
