The Bhairav Putras by Suhail Mathur - book review

Very few time you come across a book that have the ability to stay with you forever. One of this kind of book is The Bhairav Putras by Suhail Mathur. This book takes you to the time of revolution when Indian decided to root off the Britishers from our mother land. The plot of the book is set in the year 1936 on the lands of village called Circa.

This book talks about the belief of Indians, the brutal behavior of Britishers against Indians, the planning and plotting of revolutionists, the bloodshed and the spirit to stand against the evil. There was not a single moment when your interest would lose off from the gripping storyline. The writing style of the author is like the flow of river; smooth and steady. The characterization is brilliantly done and you can actually feel the character around you while reading the book.

I would rate this book as 4.5/5 stars and also would like to congratulate the author for this brilliant masterpiece and would wait for the next bestseller from him.

Review of Pluck Out The Heart

A novel that through its cover page promises to send chills down your spine. Horror is the outlining force of the book with emotions suspense, fear, discrepancy and love being traced. The following people who are a part of this book have contributed just the right thing. 1. Sagher Manchanda : He makes the novel a page turner. Right expressions, amazing literature, high creativity and imagination, topped with some suspense and mystery - he knows the recipe of a perfect story. His stories provide a new insight into the writing and human world. He amazes with his writings, leaving in him complete awe of him, and if you are an avid reader, he is just the right pick for you! 2. Nalini Srivastava : Her stories are borrowed from real life incidences , some of which mirror the reality of human life and relationships. The literal expressions are good, some stories will touch your heart. But the majority of her stories lack horror and rather focus more on human nature. That is the only drawback of her writing. Some stories do offer paranormal experiences but lack the real list. 3. Nikhil M Katkar : As a newbie in the writing industry , Nikhil impresses with choosing the right subjects and right content. Her stories depict versatility on new grounds. The portrayal of Indian beliefs and ethics also make his stories captivating. 4. Shail Raghuvanshi : Shail's stories are too based on common day activities and have a slight tinge of horror only as the end. The characters are strong but could have been stronger. She offers real life perspectives and evokes interest. 5 Neelam Saxena Chandra : Neelam's stories are more of revenge - seeking - souls rather than horror. Most of the endings are happy but surprising. Human ethics are the reckoned base of horror of all her narration. She captures your attention and makes you anticipate many more stories. Over all this book is a one time read . However some stories can be read again and again. The book comprises not of only horror but many other genres which it will redefine. Rating - 3.5/5 About the BookPluck Out The Heart is something beyond an anthology; It is a unique venture by five authors. Based on the horror/dark genre, this book stands out to be a variation in the approach to scary tales. Just as it will manage to run a long nail down your freezing spine, Pluck Out The Heart is manicured with an intention to tell newly thought stories to the readers, page by page. The macabre wave of the revenant has been woven through the emotions in each story, as the characters in them are created to touch your heart and their darker part is sure to pluck it out! Another differentiating feature of this book is that the authors haven’t gone for the usually read and clichéd commercial plotlines. Each tale that is told in the further pages is a well-chiselled work of art by the respective writer. We chose this topic after analyzing that the excitement about horror tales among the readers/audience is declining, owing to the fact that the creators are consistently failing to give the readers something fresh.

Positive aspects !

The exploration of human aspects in a vivid manner is the finest trait of this book . It is written in such a manner that even a new reader would find it interesting . Adding to the glory of the book are the common-life aspects and practical situations which the author effortlessly narrates . It has a blend of various emotions in it which makes it relatable..
Negative aspects !
The book belonging to no glare is the highly noticeable fault ..it lacks fascination in the middle . The in-depth explanation of the tactics and terms of the corporate world may not engage everyone . At some places the book turns predictable.
My verdict..

      A  coin has 2 sides . Similarly there are both negative and positive aspects of a thing. In nutshell this book can be read by anyone who belongs to the corporate world. It has a good start and ends regularly . It can be read while travelling or when you are pissed off. It kind of revives you and the conversations between the guruji and his shishyas provides you a new insight into life , some of the lines may change your thinking . All in all this book will enhance your way of looking at things and you will ( if ready ) come out as a new person ..


Rating - 4/5

NEVER KISS YOUR BEST FRIEND

This novel is the sequel to the 2012 bestseller - JUST FRIENDS Keeping the legacy intact of laugh riots and heart tendering moments , this novel takes you on a ride of events that will linger in your mind , even after reading the novel . Quirky lines , promises of friendship , tales of love and the suprising climax will keep you hooked . the language is just right for an avid reader . The embellishing trait of this book is its unexpected but lovable events . Its starting will make you hysterical and the ending will leave you numb . The author perfectly leaves some knots open for another sequel to follow . Sumrit shahi takes friendship and love several notches higher and eventually redefines it . The weak storyline is the only negative trait of the entire novel. Thr ending could have been better with less suprises .

All in all , the book is a treat for reader's and fan's for sumrit shahi and will delight you from the alpha to the omega..

Rating - 4/5

An Interview Session with Sandeep Sharma

He is a parvenu in the literary field ., definitely a person who is born for writing and with his first book he indicates that he is here to stay and win zillions of heart.
After reading his book, we had a candid conversation with this inspiring author and this is what we instigated about him.. !!
Excerpts..

What made you write this book?

 
I wanted to write something unusual; a kind of love story that should literally be NEVER HEARD BEFORE. I had an amazing title in my mind, the only thing I needed was a story. Slowly, chapter by chapter, the story started to form and then one day, everything stuck. That was the moment my co-author came in, Leepi Agrawal, I discussed with her the plot of the story and she gave some brilliant ideas for the second half of the book and together we were able to write something that was totally new for our readers; a kind of blended genre.

Who is your inspiration behind writing?

My father. He loved to write but never showed his writings to anyone (Except my mother). I have seen him burning his diary where he used to write poetry. That burning diary ignited an author within me. I was around 10 years old then. I started very badly and still I am just learning the basics of writing. I used to write short stories on daily basis on a blog and then tried to write full length novels. So basically I am just living the dream of my father and I love that proud smile on his face whenever someone recognizes me as an author. 

What can you tell us about your future projects?

Currently I am working on two projects simultaneously; two very different genres. One of them is ‘Let The Game Begin!’ which is a historical thriller fiction based on the origin of Chess in India and the other one is a co-authored project which is again a fantastic ride of mixed genres with a CATCHY TITLE and mind blowing story. 

Who is your emotional anchor?

Three ladies; my mother (Bina Sharma), my sister (Deepshikha Sharma) and my cousin sister (Kavita Sharma), my biggest critic and fan. And after them my ‘The Author’s Blog’ Team that keeps on encouraging me to write more and more.

This is a genre hardly explored / celebrated in the writing industry. What are your views about it?

Well yes, I think HDM3 is the first one to travel this less (Never) travelled road and that’s what the beauty of this book is! Till the end you really can’t guess the ‘real’ genre of the book. I really wanted to write something that should be absolutely new for this writing field and when you have asked me this question, I think I succeeded (*winks*). 

What were your expectations from this book?

 
I just wanted to be read. I had a story to tell and I just did the same. By the grace of god it reached the masses and hopefully the second edition of the book will come out soon. What else can a new author want? I am stunned to see the response of the readers, they did connect with the characters, they abused me for killing (Spoiler Alert) one of the strongest character of the book.  I still remember the day when a famous author posted on his timeline that ‘the story was good but how the hell you dare to kill the character?’ Another moment of happiness was when the daughter of a great author of Indian writing industry e-mailed me about the book. That was my first fan mail. I’ll cherish this book for my whole life because it made me meet some phenomenal people and a very ‘special’ friend as well.

What was the immediate review you got about this book?

The first official review was from Meghant Parmar (One of the biggest book reviewer). He rated this book 4/5 (And believe me that’s a huge compliment for the book; I have got 2/5 as well from him for my first novel).  You can read the review from here
http://booksallaroundme.blogspot.in/2015/02/review-hey-dad-meet-my-mom-by-sandeep.html

But if you ask me about immediate review, that was from an 8 year old girl who saw the book title and showered a long smile on me and then rushed to her mother to let her know the title of the book. That was magical moment.

Any one review which is very close to your heart?

Every review is special but the negative ones are little closer to heart as they give you the reason to work hard next time. I did receive a negative review from Abhilash Ruhela (Famous Blogger); I will try harder next time to make his read worth. I really hate the moment when a reader spends 6 to 7 hours of his precious time to read a book and it fails to entertain him.

Any suggestion to the new upcoming writers from your end?

Write regularly and keep writing. There’s no shortcut to write except to write. First try is always the harder one and still there no guarantee that the second one will be easier. The only thing which is guaranteed is that if you’ll take your work seriously, others will start noticing you and that’s what all it takes to get successful in any field.

Any suggestions / message for your reader?

Thank you so much for loving this book; this journey will always be incomplete without you. Share the word; let the book reach to everyone. Rishi is eagerly waiting for you to read his journey of 
Hey Dad! Meet My Mom… And if you are planning to read this book, I want to tell you one thing about me. I am not an author; I am just a story-teller. I can assure you that the story of the book is having every element in it to keep you hooked till the end. You can criticize me for the technicalities but not for the story that I write. I am really, eagerly waiting to read your words over the book. Thank You So Much!
