About the story-
The story revolves around Kris, and his journey from the Vatican City to India, and then to Germany. Throughout his journey various interesting incidents happen with Kris that leave everyone around him shocked. Some accuse Kris for being terrorist, while other supports the fact that his name is not Muslim, hence, he can’t be a terrorist.
With the death of Pope to the certain revelations about the famous Indian, Mohandas, the story opens many unknown facts about the history.
My verdict-
The story is for history geeks. The author has successfully penned down the mysteries one after the other. I personally liked the one liner at the end of the paragraphs that gave story line an interesting touch. Poems are beautifully written. Language is captivating.
The way author has narrated the story is commendable. There are many revelations about the famous people of the past, whether fiction or reality, but it surely keeps readers hooked till the end. An awesome piece of creativity from the writer’s pen!
Ratings- 4/5

For the first time ever, I am going to conduct an interview on my blog. And, I am glad to introduce Aditti Gaur, today. Her much celebrated book 'Adhira' is back to lure your hearts with her kindness and self - sacrificing traits. So, let's hear about Adhira from the authoress herself.  Q. How did you come up with the idea of writing a book? A.

Book review - Postcards from Memory by Sameer Satam

Synopsis - Every moment that passes is not coming back. Yes, there might be moments in future, like the one you just experienced. But it's not going to be the same again. The one that was, was one like itself. It cannot be replaced. It's gone... Long gone... Dissolved in this crazy tasting, highly intoxicating drink of life. In an attempt to capture these bits and pieces that keep dissolving to give their distinct flavors to this colorful cocktail, I end up scribbling on my pad.

My verdict - I loved every single poem but my personal t...
