BOOK REVIEW: Treasure Trove of Zodiacs by Tanuj Lalchandani

I am among those who are unable to find any consistent logic behind astrology. Yet, an individual who has mastered the art of it can build correct predictions about someone’s characteristic traits on the basis of their zodiac signs. Treasure Trove of Zodiacs is the debut work of Tanuj Lalchandani. Written in-depth about each zodiac sign this book does an excellent job of explaining things to a novice. The book talks about the personality traits of a person, their behavior, a little light on what kind of careers, in general, she or he might like, suggestions on relationships and how...

BOOK REVIEW: Based on Lies – It Begins by Debarshi Kanjilal

Based on Lies: It Begins is the first in a series of two novellas published in 2017.  The main element used in this novel is of psychological thriller following the life of Anuraag Sanyal, the protagonist of the novella. The writing certainly displays the dark corners of an imaginative mind. The plot starts with the protagonist sitting in the middle of the night, suffering from insomnia writing in his notepad about the event of his past life. The storyline somewhat follows this pattern and a reader gets to see the Anuraag’s present too. He is having a troubled marriage  for...
