Friday Night Beer

The sensation of splendor
The movement of my life
The sensation of my hips
Causes the movement of your precious lips...

The excitement of waters,
Causes rippling of the sunshine
The excitement of my hands
Causes the thumping of your chest...

The beer on the desk chases a spirit on fire,
The only second of the day craves for your touch,
O, you sensation of Friday night
Please me with your taste.

Review Of Bhaavna Arora's Debut!

The Deliberate Sinner

About the author: Bhaavna Arora is a philanthropist at heart and sponsors an underprivileged boy's education for eleven years. She holds educational qualifications from USA and has a double MBA. She trains MBA students and professionals across myriad fields. Bhaavna is a new generation writer who is an avid learner from life. She also holds a doctorate degree in leadership. 

Storyline:
Is there an acid test to gauge the success of a relationship?
Is it right to carry on in an unhealthy relationship with no conjugal bliss, or look for an alternate path?
Rihanna is adventurous and free spirited girl, until she marries Veer, an eligible bachelor who comes from a wealthy family. While they appear Happily Married, their strong personalities are at odds. Veer, for most of the time , is insensitive to Rihanna's physical and emotional needs, straining the relationship and leaving her incomplete.
Caught between the devil and deep sea, Rihanna has to now decide whether to walk out of her marriage and be a victim of society's ridicule, or compromise her physical needs which for her are the foundation for a healthy marital bond.
Can they work out their differences?
To know more you need to grab this bestseller!!!

Review: I think it was during its pre-orders that I ordered the Deliberate Sinner after I read it's blurb. I finished the book within 2 days since it was a 150 page novel approximately. But my reaction to the book was like why did it end???
Bhaavna has so clearly pointed out the flaws and needs of a relationship along with the effects, romance and the sexual needs that I knew this book will of course be a best seller. I immediately texted Bhaavna about her debut novel and she was so happy to listen about it. I think she is the next Madhuri Banerjee of the writing industry. Though I didn't want to tag her as one since she has her own originality in her way of writing and presentation. Rihanna's relationship with her grandfather and mother, everything which comes in her way of marriage, Veer and Rihanna's first attempt to go physical and the wrongs done by him and that too somewhat shared with her mother-in-law makes the book stand out in the book shelf. At last Rihanna's life as a free bird was extremely inspiring when he thanks Veer for letting her be what she is.

I think you should not miss out this book since it is going to be a great loss on your part.

The Farther I Go...

The more I come closer,
The more elusive you become,
Can there be a permanent address
Where I will send Rumi, 
The Book to set you on fire,
The Bridge To Your Soul?

The farther I go...

The more farther I go,
The more clearer you become,
Can there be a permanent address
Where I will send in the
Music of thunder when passed through 
The minute holes of the flute.

Abir Mukherjee's Second!

Review of Abir Mukherjee's Soar:

About the Author:
Abir Mukherjee was born and brought up in Bardhaman, a
small town of West Bengal. He is currently based in U.S.A having completed more than 8 years as an IT Professional. He
has completed his B.E. in computer science and engineering in 2005 and started working in different software MNCs. ‘S.O.A.R’ is his second novel. Blackbuck Publication has published his
first novel, ‘As Life Has No Undo’. He loves to sketch and write in his spare time. He writes to entertain people, not to teach them how to live life, how to be successful in life or any other philosophical lessons.
You can get in touch with him on Facebook.

Storyline: 
Frustrated with their current jobs Uday, Adhyayan and Rajasekaran team up to start an innovative business, non- existent in India until then. Ignoring all the pragmatic aspects of life, they chase their dreams with immense pleasure. However their journey is no cakewalk as they confront financial crisis and reviews. Uday plays a business trick to triumph over that uninfluenced market; it works initially but soon boomerangs, blowing the team apart. 
The police arrests Uday accusing him of illegal activity in their organization. 
Were there any blemishes in their plan or was it just the typical Indian market reluctant to except an un-experimented concept? Will they be successful enough in implementing their innovation, staking their hard earned money, stable jobs, relationships and life?
S.O.A.R is the story of chasing a dream, quandary between desires and responsibilities, friendship and love.

This is what the storyline depicts or in short what the blurb of the book tells us. 

Publisher: Frog Books, Leadstart Publishing.

Review: 
For some years some subtle changes in the practice of advertising have been reshaping the society people live in. The force of advertising reaches out and touches everyone living and working in the modern world today. Advertising is claimed by its practitioners to be largely responsible for the good things in life and is criticized by its opponents as the cause of unpleasant things.

The impact of advertising on the society is a fiercely debated topic, and has been ever since the conception of advertising in its most basic form. There are negative and positive social impacts upon society from advertising in its various forms. For instance, advertising promoting public welfare has a positive social impact.

This book has well depicted all the highs and lows of manipulating a business. It is not a book which will give you an elongated description on how to develop in your firms but an unending inspiration which will keep you attached to it till it's last page.

Advertising is designed to shape and influence the perceptions of the public. From the correct model for "beauty" to the right kind of education, from the correct person for the office to the best type of take out pizza---advertising targets every part of our lives. In his second novel by the way he has decided to showcase Uday, Adhyayan and Rajasekaran in an amazing manner. They have represented themselves as true people in this advertising reign. 

Comments: 
It is a must read if by chance you are caught between the web of relationship, friendship, love, betrayal and above all stuck in business matters.
What happens when an un-expeimented topic on business really comes into existence? There is nothing better than this book.

How readers will take this?
The first thing that they will say will be that it was damn interesting and inspiring. And yeah the trick( not to be disclosed) played by Uday was extraordinary!

Just Somewhat Like This

Just somewhat like this
It happened once when you 
Took my scarf away and I ran crying behind you,
You picked me up on your lap 
And I struggled to get down 
Since you did not listen to what I wanted.

I was left awestruck when,
You pulled my cheeks and I looked
With anger in your eyes,
Without any dismay you smiled at me.
The skyline has a limit for me,
But for you it had always been unending.

Get down from my head,
I want to forget you,
I want to leave my past 
And run into the future.
But how dare you be the colour of my blood?
How dare you take my crying soul to sleep?

I dare to magic your crying soul to sleep.
I dare to hold your hand while you cross,
What are you waiting for?
Can't you just say that I am the life of your blood?
I woke up from the dream with sweat all over,
Your monologue echoed.

I walked down the river bed and threw stones into it,
I talk to you when no one's around,
Till today there is a you beside every me,
I nowadays stretch my hands myself for you to hold,
Since I know,
Father I can never forget you.

The Song Of An Open Book

The red scarf around my neck moves in a sashay,
The window of my room is kept ajar,
The clouds have piled above,
I need to go abode,
Come holy rain take me in your arms,
And let me fly around witnessing the dusk.

The oil in my hair made it more black.
The golden skin is glowing against the dark shadows,
The clouds are singing their hymn
I need to go abode,
Come holy rain take me in your soul,
And let me fly around witnessing the silver waters.


You ask me, how do I know you?
How do I recognize you?
I repeat, 'Chul amar brindar disha!' ( My hair is swirling like Radha)
I need to go abode,
Come holy rain take me with you,
And let me fly through the heaven witnessing the spirituality of life.

The sitar string beats against the tabla,
The Lavanya-s and Amit-s are reciting their first poem,
I will require your touch,
I need to go abode,
Come holy rain take me close by you,
And let me fly, let me fly with you, witnessing the open book below.

About the book A Known Stranger:

Well the blurb of the book reads as follows:
Story Plot:
Have you ever known a stranger? LIFE MOVES ON and so did Parth Shastri. Jumping from engineering to his profession of interest, he is living his dream. Set in the cellphone era, the story takes you up and down Parth's life of rage, friendship, office sleaze and relationship issues. When for his greed he loses his family--- he has his guide and mentor by his side to make sure he breathes in the fleapit. Caught between web of people; some haunt him and some his yesterday. Can he confront the past?
Can he get through his web of lies?
LIFE MOVES ON...

Characterization: It is the story of Parth Shastri and his life where he is confused somewhat. The way he brought up the character of Parth is extremely alluring. He studied engineering but follows his heart. This is a plus point of the character where he sees the life ahead of him. His friends and an important character Murli's  kind of presentation is eye catching which will keep oneself attached to the book.
Tiksha and Pratiksha's character had been described both as a woman but with a tinge of innocence. This surely makes them look opposite to Parth Shastri which makes it even more catchy.

Review: The book is an interesting read when it hits the climax to Parth Shastri revealing his truths and losing of his family. Both pathetic and vulgar these areas and scenes will be well received by the readers. In all, the book is somewhat adventurous, interactive and emotional.

Language: The language is simple and young adults are definitely going to like the way in which it is written. Sarthak Kelapure has done a great job with his pen in his debut novel. It has a soothing smooth flow of words.

A line to keep you remember this book:
"We weren't perfect yesterday, we aren't perfect today, neither will we be perfect tomorrow. But that doesn't mean we cannot make things perfect."


Reader's point of view: A good read which can be enjoyed during leisure time.
