This book is a special collection of poetry that touches your soul. I feel that poetry is a niche market, so it is very important for poets how they have woven their words together. Ayesha did a great job expressing her words, each poem is beautifully written with an aesthetic illustration, which makes it visually appealing to me. The poems are short, simple, and speak about love, friendship, and the bitter truths of life.
I feel some poems raw, straight from the heart. My favorite lines from the read are:
“I trimmed my edges Made myself small Uncomfortable By it all. This puzzle I wanted to fit in, It wouldn’t accept me. All its pieces Beautiful, in symmetry. So, I found another puzzle. I became a crucial piece, Happy and wanted and free to be me.”
Overall, it is creative, raw, and meaningful read.

This is the 3rd book of the Lucy Trilogy. If you are reading it the first time, I will suggest reading the first two parts also to feel the thrill and adventure. Though you can read it as standalone as the brief is given at the start. This book is about the adventurous journey of Lucy who travels between the future and present to save the world. Lucy is only the one who can venture into the future with her dreams and reflective eyes and find out the answers to save the world from impending destruction.
I am always a big fan of sci-fi movies and shows. Lucy 3 is a captivating sci-fi novel that combines a unique and truly fascinating plot and compelling character “Lucy” to deliver a true sci-fi thriller. I especially loved the author's motive behind this initiative – to create a sustainable and good future by correcting the mistakes of the present. The intriguing setting of the story was another exciting factor of the novel that completely blended in with the whole plot and perfectly fitted in. This is a perfect read for sci-fi lovers.

The lady in the mirror is a collection of short stories which reflect the morals flaws and emotions of our lives. Though all eight stories are different from each other, yet they connected with one common theme of finding oneself. In present times we all are running behind the name, fame, and money and in between the hustle losing connection with oneself.
Let's talk about the stories:
1. The lost Meera: An IAS officer who is struggling to find the meaning of faith.
2. The last confession: the importance of communication to maintain harmony in the relationship.
3. The manifestation of God: Story of greed and how it negatively impacts the one’s life.
4. The mysterious playwright: Story of an 18th-century woman who makes her path in a patriarchal society.
5. Three of him: The theme of the story is happiness is not in person, happiness is in loving and being loved.
6. Madhav and Meera: Story is about how misunderstanding make difference in a relationship, but love makes everything right.
7. The comic tragedy: A perfect story to explain how jealousy is the most destructive emotion.
8. Life goes in a circle: Story about uncertainty and surprise of life.
My thoughts:
I found that the author has crafted a wide perspective on human emotions. I was most impressed by the strong character development of female protagonists in each story. The pencil sketches at the beginning of each chapter are very beautiful. Overall, it is a good, emotional, and quick read.

“When pride gets aroused, egos get kindled with ego comes the differences and with differences begin the cycle of further evil”.
When I picked up this book, I thought it might be a fictional read. but it turned out a fictional self-help.
The story starts with the father-son duo with an American beach in the backdrop. The conversation between both is so mesmerizing and philosophical. Then from second chapter book takes us to India where Ramji was staying with some saints and ticking off his bucket list. He made the diary entries for his son, which are so amazing. He was in search of Vishwa. Who is Vishwa? What is the connection between them?
I love the interaction of Ramji with his son and the saints. Every time the conversation of Ramji makes us understand the world a Lil better. The plot sheds light on the villager life, the hard work of the poor in our country, and how selfish businessmen and politician exploit their innocence. The philosophical aspect of the book made it a perfect read.

Ruhi is a would-be mother, who was living a loving and happy life with her husband. One day her world got devastated when he lost her husband Aman. Ruhi’s love for Aman was still deep, she was struggling to raise her son Adi in between the pain she was going through.
In between her path crossed Riaan. Riaan a handsome guy who was going through heartbreak because his love Ananya got engaged to someone else. Did two broken hearts take a second chance? Did they accept and flow with the change just like autumn?
