Book Review: The Nikah

Image
Title:  The Nikah Author: Andaleeb Wajid Genre: Fiction, Romance Pages: 21 Publisher: Juggernaut Books Rating: 4/5 Juggernaut Books always have something interesting for us readers. I have always enjoyed reading books published by them in the past and still do. They have maintained their standards with their quality content as is the case with this book. The Nikah by Andaleeb Wajid is a short story but heart tugging, nevertheless. A married woman visits her hometown in Vellore for a wedding. With guests surrounding her, she is conscious of her presence but also of all the past memories that rush towards reminding her of a previous love. She is happily married now with a child and moved to Hyderabad soon after and have always avoided travelling to Vellore for this very reason. What if she spots him here? Would all her emotions burst out of her deep well of a heart and show? The Nikah is a short story, all of 21 page...

Download this book from Juggernaut here Title:  Ice : A Farooq Reshi Investigation Author: Praveen Swami Genre: Fiction, Short Stories, Crime Rating: 3.5/5 Ice by Praveen Swami was sent to me by Juggernaut . It is one of their December 2016 releases. The author is an expert on Islamic terrorism and a senior editor at the Indian Express. The book is set in the Kargil mountains where Superintendent Farooq Reshi is stationed. Two bodies are found in a cave in the mountains and, as is the case with every murder in the valley, the needle points towards the Lashkar terrorists. But when Farooq tries to get to the bottom of the case, he stumbles on something that reveals a lot more. The book is a very short read, all of 63 pages. The narrative is casual, to the point and blunt. The author has bared the simple, stark reality of the beautiful but disturbed valley. He, candidly, explains the life of the locals, their mentality and also of the army personnel...

Buy From Amazon.in Title:  You Will Love Again: A Guide to Healing from Heartbreak Author: Dr Shyam Bhat Genre: Non-Fiction, Self help Rating: 4/5 You Will Love Again is a self help book for those who, unfortunately, are dealing with heartbreak. The author is Dr Shyam Bhat, a psychiatrist, who has experienced heartbreaks in the past himself.  First things first. I love the title. It radiates so much optimism that any curious mind wouldn't hesitate to pick it up. The book begins with how people feel soon after their breakup or divorce. The author takes us through various situations (with examples) of how a human mind and body behaves or reacts to such depressing feelings. The hurt that follows can be crippling for some, even to the extent of going into depression, which is sadly so common these days. The book explains how to tackle issues related to breakups, like anger, forgiveness...
