Book Review - Thank You Love by Ayush Gupta

Image
Blurb “…yes, I said, everything in life is uncertain, and it speaks the same.” All human energy comes from that one thought. All the pains that we bear and the joys that we celebrate are the results of our thoughts at any moment. Strange isn’t it? When Akshita was making her choices, Rayan made his. He refused to get over her and chose to own her absence in his heart and mind. Thank You Love describes how sitting on the floor in silence changed the world of “Ryan”. He realized that love is not something that happens between two people; instead it’s an enduring quality within people. He realized that love is not something that you do, but is the way you are. He re-moulds one of the most important events of his life into a spark, re-channelizes it and heads towards something that would later change the course of life. About the Story The storyline revolves around Rayan’s and Akshita’s relationship and the difficulties that surround them. Despite having a bea...

Book Review - Colorful Notions: The RoadTrippers 1.0

Image
Blurb Would You Give Up Your High-Paying Job And Comfortable Personal Life To Drive Ten Thousand Kilometers Across India? Just For Fun! Three twenty-something dare to do just that! While the two boys take turns to drive, the girl gives voice-over as they record their entire journey on a handy cam. Ab, Sasha and Unnati are ordinary youngsters, rendered special by the feat they accomplish. As they recount their adventures, I crave to live their journey. They look at each other with a glint in their eyes, as if refurbishing those memories while narrating their spooky time at Bhangarh Fort, strange escapades at Wagah Border and Sundarbans, car breakdowns, wild animals, near-death experiences and highway robbers! It’s nothing less than crazy. I doubted if I ever had the gumption to create such experiences. So I did the next best thing – I penned a book about them, and their roadtrip. Colorful Notions is a journey of three young hearts on the Indian terrain an...
