That's how this book started and made complete reading it in almost one go. For a moment I would like to thank the publishers and the author for making this book look so good, from the paperback to the interior of the book. Even thanks to the format, keynotes at the end of every chapter and exercises really gave a reader-friendly touch to this book.

Wow! Are you kidding me? When I started reading this book, I never imagined that the writer would land me here. A story of friends, riding bikes, doing fun, and then a sudden transformation altogether!
'Everything She Never Had' written by Shaheen Parwez. Tears of happiness in my eyes as completed reading the story of Shehnaaz. Whoa, that was a long emotional roller coaster ride for me!

Totally informal language throughout with some masterpiece quotes and the one which is my all-time fav "Certain things they should stay the way they are, you ought to stick them in those big glasses and just leave them alone."

Nowadays when 90's siblings meet, they just do some crazy kinds of stuff when together, I liked the author having the same approach in this book especially when they play the truth and dare game.

Overall, it's a fine book especially for all the youngsters out there.
Romi is one of those books which will flash all your beautiful school memories in a more realistic or nostalgic form I would say. Better not make a commercial movie out of it as it may lose its own simplicity.
"Mein ek Nazm hona chahti hoon, Zindagi ki haatho se likhi ek ghazal hona chahti hoon." Can you giys even imagine that this book has written by a 21 year old girl? Well, there are more such lines she has written that will surely leave you with 'wow'.

The sketches in every poem and the titles complete this book on a very positive note. Without them, this book would look incomplete or directionless. Some of the poems could have been more better and impactful as the topics seemed especially like; 'Pain'. But that is what, maybe the author wanted to use the simple words and put high impact. And yes, the author did that to me. All the poems come with a thought-provoking approach and yes, it will encourage you to rethink, like; "Not giving up is the only way I found reason to fly."

If you are having your love partner in life then this book will make you more closer to him/her. If you don't have any, then this book will force you to remember your past ( If you have ) or express your true feelings to someone whom you love. No, this book is not about the love principle rather a collection of magical Love poems along with astonishing paintings by the author herself. #LoveMeSomeday #PoetryLove
“Shaman, Woman and The Rooster” written by young Jon Pebi Tato is a surreal piece in itself that will take you to your childhood when your parents used to tell you bedtime stories and you’d sleep in their laps. Those were the simpler times.
The book, a rather short one with just 41 pages, takes you on a roller coaster ride keeping it subtle yet dramatic throughout the story. It takes you on a memory lane as the author tries to mould his childhood into this short folk story of the Tibetian region. It's a quick read with a gripping plot and intriguing character names.

'Anxiety: Black Hole' written by Priyanka Prasad. The story is all about a girl named 'Preeti'. It's about her journey of transformation from mental illness to guiding people on how to recover from it. Sounds inspiring, isn't it? Want more? At a very young age (22) the author has placed her views more understandably. #Depression #mentaltrauma #socialmessage
Listen to the best 5 poems from the book called ' The Beautiful Sky' written by Harshwardhan Patil. #poems #deepthoughts #hindipoem
मैं वास्तव में इस कहानी को बॉलीवुड के कुछ बड़े निर्माता द्वारा निर्मित बड़े पर्दे पर देखना पसंद करूंगा क्योंकि यह इसके योग्य है। मेरे शब्दों को चिन्हित करें, भले ही आपको प्रेम कहानियां पसंद न हों, आप इस पुस्तक को पढ़ने से नहीं चूक सकते। इतने लंबे समय के बाद पांच में से 5 स्टार ऐसी किताब को देना जो वास्तव में लोगों के जीवन पर बहुत प्रभाव डालती है।
I would really really love to see this story on the big screens produced by some big shot Bollywood producer as this deserves it.
Mark my words, even if you don't like Love stories, you can't miss reading this book.
Giving 5 out of five stars after so long to a book that actually contains a great impact on people's lives. #thebeautifulsky #lovestory
The Love Planet has written by Maitreyi Joshi. This book is not a typical love story at all rather a magical and more mystical to read. Yes, you heard it right. It all starts with one of the major character miss 'Suzy R', the CEO and Co-Chairmen of the S & S group ( One of the biggest and most Successful Companies Supported by the Government too ). The Visionary behind this whole S & S Group is Mr Sean who is missing from approx Two years. Overall, the most important thing is, this is a different book with a fresh storyline characters and style of writing. Note, the last four chapters of this book will reveal all your questions and confusions that you would have in the early stages but wait, this book leaves you with doubled questions at the end, hinting for the Sequel 'One Birth: Many Lives' #lovebook #planetoflove
The 5 A.M Club written by Robin Sharma. Before picking up this book, I knew already that this would be one of those books only which are overhyped and what you see is actually because of the huge marketing Strategy. Sorry for being a little off, but this is what the book made me do. After reading an amazing book like 'Who will cry when you will die this book looks like a disaster.
Well, the story starts from a typical Indian wedding, in which two unknown meet each other and after a certain point of time realize that hey, the feelings, the connection is something more. The author gave a fair view that Love is all about getting peace and fulfilment unlike overrated Bollywood movie ( You know how unrealistic it looks sometimes). Like every great love story, this too faces some caste issues, problems cooking all over the family. But the important thing I like the most is, 'Efforts' by two lovers. Nowadays people easily end up in a relationship without even trying to fight against all odds. #lovestory #lovebook #shortstory
Being a Kingman movie fan, I just couldn't stop grabbing this book. Soooo, I decided to give a shot reading it.
If you have watched the movie and then reading this, just stay prepared to get to know about the details of each and every scene and some are bonus ones too, especially the 'Bull scene'. I wont give any spoilers as usual but one thing is for sure, this Spy movie has its own fan base, style and scale. Every quote is decent as kingsman itself, but my favourite and probably everyone's favourite is "Manners, Maketh, Man. Do you know what that means? Then let me teach you a lesson!" #kingsman #gentleman #bookish
The Power of Your Subconscious mind by Dr Joseph Murphy. It has an impact to change your perspectives towards life for the better. Also, the author has given a fine light on both the conscious and subconscious mind. As a non-fictional book, this book says a lot about many things from staying positive to controlling your mind and emotions. #nonfictionalbook #bookreview #powerofmind
Overall, this is an amazing fictional book, I just wanna add here, you ought to enjoy this as a fictional book only without getting your sentiments hurt. Each one of the characters is placed finely, like; Vedvati, Sita, Ram, Dashrath, and so on. In some scenes, you’ll even feel bad for some characters as Raavan kills and tortures them so badly. But your mind will be curious to know what’s next? #bookreview #raavan #amishtripathi
‘Everyone has a Story’ by Savi Sharma is a book full of emotions that flows like a typical bollywood movie ( Good ones). Meera, an aspiring novelist, is accompanied by Vivaan, an assistant bank manager, Kabir, a cafe manager, and Nisha, a dispirited cafe customer, figuring out how to pursue their dreams. Soon, their lives are connected, and they realise how much they love, trust, bond, and rejoice in having each other in their lives.
