Book Review - The Bogus Read by Divyamaan

Blurb


In a galaxy
Far, far away from earth
There were two countries. India and Pakistan.
Both countries somehow remained in a perennial state of conflict since their independence. After getting its shameless ass kicked thrice by India, Pakistan, has now come up with the ultimate conspiracy – attack the minds of Indian masses and capture the nation. In partially successful attempt, it captures some portion of India. The Indian Government, led by its highly patriotic PM, Narendra Mody and his Royal Highness, Arnub Gooswamy, takes charge of the situation and comes up with a master plan of defeating Pakistan, using some of India’s most potent weapons – corruption, political – holliganism and annoying celebrities.

They are supported by five engineering students who, inspite of their otherwise mundane lives, get embroiled in the mess. They set themselves on a perilous journey only to discover how deep the whole conspiracy is and how dangerous are the brains behind it. In doing so, they reach a breakeven point that poses many questions:

Should they go forward, and take up the risk; that of their lives?

Will they succeed in revealing the conspiracy to the Army?

Will the lost territories be captured?

To find out read this book, an illogically logical take on Indian politics, mainstream media, cinema and the television industry.

About the Book:
Well, this one is not the regular genre that I read. This book is an amalgamation of satire, sarcasm and comedy, which is surely going to make you smile and tickle your funny bone with every page.

Writing & Narration:
As I said above, it is a rare genre. Generally, Indian authors tend to neglect writing sarcasm and comedy. With a tinge of uniqueness, this book contains a message. And, this combination is quite difficult to find in regular books.

Title & Cover:
If read alone, it is difficult for the title to uncover the clouds. But, if combined with the book cover, it definitely makes a great combination.

My verdict:
This book is going to make you chuckle, fill you up with various thoughts, and is definitely going to inspire you. Can you just get the amazing feeling about the book by my words? Yeah, that’s how amazing it is. After reading the blurb, you can make out that there is some crazy, insane, and funny stuff in this one and it will not fail to satisfy that fact. From commenting on politics in a non-offensive way to the thought piercing satires – The Bogus Read has all the stuff in it.


Ratings – 4.5/5

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...
