Book Review - Wild Card by Asfiya Rahman


Blurb:

Karan Mehrotra thinks he has it all. He is about to marry the love of his life, Riya and is on his way to win at Wimbledon, fulfilling a childhood dream of his.

However destiny has other plans for him and he is forced to put aside his dreams when life throws a wild card at him. Eight years later destiny coyly lays another opportunity in front of him. Does he finally get another chance to fulfill his childhood dream or will he let his fear stop him from taking up the challenge?

Find out how a tennis champion is forced to step away from his fame into obscurity and how a bossy little girl forces him to take up one of the hardest challenges of his life and face the life he had left behind.

About the story:

Karan Mehrotra and his passion for tennis is the center of attraction in this plot. Karan is at the zenith of success when destiny changes the game for him altogether. Because of his responsibility towards his little girl, he says bye to his dreams forever. And then, that little girl pushes him to pursue his goals. To sum it up, the story is about passion, determination, responsibility, failures, and success.

Writing & Narration:

The way writer has presented every single emotion, is appreciable. The story is competence enough to form a connection with readers. The narration part is equally well, too. However, there are few spelling and printing mistakes.

Title & Cover:

The title is entirely appropriate and matches with the content of the book. However, the cover is not much pleasing.

Pros:

  • ·         Inspiring
  • ·         Connects well
  • ·         Perfect characterization

Cons:
  • ·         Spelling and printing mistakes

My verdict:

All of us encounter such problems in our lives which compel us to give up. Our responsibilities overshadow our dreams. However, the only thing that counts is the way you tackle with difficult circumstances and your will to never give up. So, this book is all about determination and passion. It teaches you never to give up. For me, this book was inspiring. Give it a read, and you will find it same, too.

Ratings – 3.5/5

An Insight of Adhira and the journey of Aditti Gaur

Image
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...
