BOOK REVIEW: The Bride Who Would Not Burn by Rajesh Talwar

Posted July 6, 2017 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 0 Comments

Rajesh Talwar is a prolific writer of modern India. This is his third published book I have read in a month. He has touched few themes that the modern Indian society either still considered them as taboo or are not taken serious enough such that the issue become might have a chaotic effect for some time over the whole society directly or indirectly. One of them is the issue of dowry and its side-effects. This disease is still in practice in this country and is one of the realities of modern India.

Published: 30 March, 2017 A deep, twisty dive in an interesting true crime tale of the decade! How often do you read True Crime stories? I am always seeking one of them.

Posted May 12, 2017 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 0 Comments

Published by: Amaryllis  424 Pages | Fiction | Spirituality Gita is a big part of Indian Philosophy. I don’t see it as just a religious scripture, certainly not, after reading S.

Understanding spirituality is the same as understanding yourself and this book is a great pivot either if you have never read Bhagavad Gita or had a touch at your inner self. This book is more than the work of fiction. It is a blend of fiction and spirituality. It revolves around two lifelong friends as they have a contrast which varies between them. Not in the good or evil sense. The […]
