In May 2008 nation woke up with a hideous and mysterious murder of a 14-year-old girl Arushi Talwar. This case made everyone curious and there are many hidden facts and questions in this case. Later this case became a double murder case when the dead body of the servant was found on the terrace.
This book opens many layers of the case and covers everything from accusation and suspect of murder to appeal of the Talwar couple. The plot will reveal the deep facts, complexity, and manipulation related to this case. The book is divided into four parts:
1. The accusation to the parents
2. The servant’s associates committed the murder which seems more reasonable.
3. A hypothetical situation, for which I have mixed feelings.
4. A criticism of our legal system.
This book raises many questions about our society, judiciary system, and media.
I still don’t know what to believe and what to not but this read will stir the conscience of readers with the deep facts given. I am glad the parents are finally relieved, but the grief and trauma they feel in 9 years give me a chill.
To know more about the ignored facts of this case just grab and read this book.

“Everything is already figured out and the world is running perfectly fine. Stop over-analyzing. Relax and relish whatever comes your way with full involvement and gratitude.”

My fav. chapters:
1. Khud ko khud se kar riha.
2. Feminism- fanatic or fantastic.

“Vitamin H” is a collection of 111 inspirational and positive quotes and suggestions. The read is created to give the reader that necessary boost when they are feeling particularly low. Within its pages, many lines speak positively to the reader. The subject matter varies from hope, optimism, self-confidence to happiness.
Every single person has felt hopeless or Sad at some point in their lives, and this book is just the trick to turn that negativity into uplifting. There are few quotes which I like the most:
“When you don’t give up on the hard work you do, your hard work doesn’t give up on the results it is going to bring. Believe in your vision. Stay focused.”
“Take a look in the mirror The person you see will help you adjust the sails in times of strong winds of difficulties.”
Overall, I feel the author has done a brilliant job with this collection.

The story starts with an unfortunate incident of a family. and that incident impacted the lives of two siblings Anjali and Rudra. the incident leaves a scar on Rudra’s mind and soul.
Then the story takes a jump of 18 years. Where Rudra became a charming and ruthless business tycoon and met with Trisha in a bizarre situation on her 18th birthday. Soon he finds out that she knows so much about her dead mother. How is she connected to her mother? Does she knows something or just bluffing?
Coming to the genre of this read. it is a perfect blend of thriller, romance, and mystery. I love the way the author narrated the chemistry between Trisha and Rudra. Both the characters are well crafted by the author. But I feel the author should give the spotlight to the other characters like Trisha’s family and Anjali. The writing style is simple with fast-faced narration.
I would recommend this read both thriller and romance lover.

Get ready for Bollywood romantic drama.
The plot revolves around two protagonists: Maanvi a loving girl from Chennai and Abhimanyu a selfless boy from Delhi. They met at a college conference and soon started talking over chats and calls. The book talks about their journey of love, long-distance crisis, and heartbreak. Will their story end up on a happy note? Will they able to turn an obsession into fortitude?
The language is simple and understandable. The book talks about the importance of communication in a long-distance relationship. Though the theme is good, I didn’t like the characters much. I am not much into cliched college romance reads that’s why it missed a mark on me. but I think romance lovers will like the read. I would like to appreciate the author for her great attempt and best wishes for future projects.
