Synopsis-
In the world of real estate, Deepak is king, building on the legacy left behind by his farsighted father. He has with him, a bright youngster Arjun, whose ambition to grow bit at any cost lands him in trouble with a lot of people. Luckose, Deepak’s advisor and close friend is his pillar of strength. Deepak is also in constant touch with Annie, his classmate from the US college, who though happily married to Pedro a budding politician in Mexico, still finds time to involve herself in everything that her ‘best friend for life’, takes up.

A young girl Aisha, hailing from riot ridden Ahmedabad, gets intimate with Gautam a dashing young builder. Together they plan and implement innovative housing schemes for the youth. Aisha however has to take on roles she had never even imagined, all for her love for Gautam. Life has many surprises for her, from becoming a ‘Lady Killer’ to turning a new leaf as the promoter of Aisha schools, a new way of life for the rural people.

Arjun is the originator of RealtyEx, a unique commodity exchange for the real estate which finds phenomenal support in Dubal and Almaty in Central Asia though he is shunned in his own country.
Deepak and Pedro are forced to maintain their own protective armies, while backing Aisha to the full and even encourage her to go ahead with her revenge mission.

Set among the exotic Mexico cities, the upcoming Central Asian countries, there is intrigue, lots of action, tender family moments as well as love that blossoms among the innocent ones.

About the story-
The story revolves around Deepak, Arjun, Gautam, Aisha, Annie, and Pedro. They all are in estate business and other things including, Politics. The story tells how these people co – relate with each other and face all the challenges and odds that come in their way. The story has ambitions, success, failures, revenge, and love to offer.
Writing and Narration-

Although the language is simple and easy, there is a bucket full of mistakes. At some places, there are unnecessary alphabets and at some places, there are printing mistakes. The story is full of grammatical errors as well and the narration style is not very pleasing as well.

Title and Cover-
The title of the story is appropriate as throughout the story it’s been evident that how the characters are infected with life and do every possible thing to breath in the world. Whether it is about murdering someone, or taking revenge from someone – the characters have done all the possible things. Although, the cover of the book is not much catchy and appealing,.

My verdict-
The story is easy going and interesting at some places. But, with the existence of so many characters, it becomes confusing. Readers may have a tough time in actually anticipating where the story is heading. The grammatical and printing mistakes reduce the charm of the story. But, the ideas that have been presented in the book are very appreciative. Author’s pen is very creative for all the ideas that he has poured in the story.

Ratings – 3/5

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. Since childhood or you can say school days, I had a strange habit of writing fictional scenes into my daily diaries, which were inspired from the things happening around me. This strange habit followed me after my marriage also. Just the intensity of the scenes kept on changing, from childhood's immature memories to grown up's mature dramas. One fine day, my husband got one of my diaries and he read the things I wrote in that. He instantly came up with the idea of story writing. After several denies from my side I had to agree on that because he was so sure that I can do it. And that's how Adhira came ou...

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. This book is a bouquet of such moments that started with my mindless scribbling and ended up in verses. Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Sublime... Each piece has a taste of its own. About the book- This book is an anthology of poems. You will find poems on every single emotion. The feelings and words are very touching and the poet has summed up every word keenly which matches with every person's emotion. You will relate to this very easily. My verdict - I loved every single poem but my personal t...
