Till We Meet Again by Shibaji Bose (Book Reviews: 3/5)

Till We Meet Again is the story of Aryan, a zealous young man who is ready to nurture his passion and win the world when a personal tragedy weighs him down with family's responsibilities. The author has blended emotions, family relationships, vengeance, hope and love in a praiseworthy way in this book.

The hidden highlight of the book is the way the protagonist learns life lessons; finding his purpose in life from his sister Rhea, passion and desire from landlady Kavya, sacrifice from his mother, and power of family from his brother Rohan. This is the story of a boy's journey of becoming a man while facing unexpected situations and meeting vivid people.

The book starts a bit slow, majorly because of the wide range of vocabulary which might reduce the reading speed as well. The book gains pace after a while and the plot begins to take an interesting shape. This is the book if you are looking for one with a deeper human emotion perspective and feel the words describing so much more than the printed text.

The cover, yes, I loved it. It is so serene and calm, you would just want to pick the book up and start reading it. The book loses its pace in the middle of the story for a while and becomes slower too. Also, the incident where Rhea and Aryan pay more heed to taking a city tour and savoring the local delicacies instead of looking for their lost mother is a little difficult to digest for the readers.

The author Shibaji Bose has done a really good job playing with words and I recommend this book to all readers above the age of 14.

I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Perks of being a Solo Traveler: What my amazing Solo Trips taught me

Today marks the first anniversary of my first ever solo-trip. I had picked Agra, Uttar Pradesh for I was always mesmerized by the breathtakingly beautiful Taj Mahal. After somehow convincing my parents to allow me to travel alone, I landed up in Agra for a three-day trip. It's fun, it's slightly overwhelming, even weird at times, but the experience of being on your own in a new town taught me a lot. Here are some perks that the adventure of solo travel brings along with it: 1. You make all the rules: Wanna go lakeside at 5 am? Or feeling like taking a nap in the afternoon? You can do whatever you like, whenever you like. Evening walks by the sea shore or enjoying breeze in the balcony, it's totally your call. Taj Mahal, Agra, UttarPradesh 2. Staying at amazing hostels: Backpacker hostels are far safer and cheaper than hotel rooms. Moreover, sharing your dorm room with travelers from different nationalities is an...

A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin (Book Reviews: 4.5/5)

The first book of the brilliant fiction series 'A Song of Ice and Fire', A Game of Thrones happens to be a majestic, jaw-dropping writing of George R.R. Martin. The first part of the seven books, five volumes in total, covers the introduction of the ruling Houses of Westeros, the land where the 'game' comes into play. The story begins with the slight hint of the Whitewalkers, commonly known as the Others, along with the Wildlings north of the Wall. Martin has managed to keep the description pretty vivid, and the reader can actually feel like witnessing every event of the fiction. The characters haven't been completely touched, and that's what creates a layer on their respective personalities. Martin has slid the history of most of the characters very smoothly in the book, without looking for a particular climax. This work of fiction seconds the fact that books definitely are better than their TV and movie adaptations. For sure HBO and the 'Game of...

The Stationery Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali (Book Reviews: 5/5)

The Stationery Shop of Tehran by Marjan Kamali is one of my first few books of the decade, and I'm so glad I came across this book at my local bookstore. This is one of books that stay with you for a long, long time. Marjan Kamali has poured so much love and pain and emotions in this book, it's almost impossible to finish it without teary eyes. The protagonists Roya and Bahman are a young couple whose romance starts and grows in a stationery shop belonging to Mr. Fakhri, who too has a small yet powerful role in the story. The narration, particularly of the Iranian lifestyle and households is remarkable and the reader finds her/himself in the streets of Tehran. All the side characters, including Zari, Mrs. Aslan, Jahangir, and Mr. Walter have been given enough and perfect amount of text space and power in the story. There's always something happening in the story and it's really hard for the reader to out the book down. The dilemma of relationships between Roya ...
