Thanks to All for Coming Close

Hi,
First of all, SORRY for making so long post.

Knocking the door locked at outside
softness of the fingers burning in the factories
Speaking to the one dead in himself
hope of expectation dying at roundabout
such things really meant to only one person who survive in. Doesn't matter how close we go, we are always miles step away from reality. The thing which is clear to the person is always blur to ourselves. Though many of us are broad minded and very sensitive with our heart but go for the one which is very humble to our souls. Same thing is with me, when I spend my life with the books and only books. Plenty of novels I went through this year and there are very few which left footsteps in my mind and obviously touched my heart. Every writer is best in himself but it is only reader who tells him how much successful he has been. There are different types of writers among which few write for passion, few write for their loved ones, few write for money, few write for fame, and rests enjoy the scenario and beat of life instead going head or toe of any balderdash.
When somebody asks my favourite book, I really find myself confused and struck somewhere in the stories which I really lived when reading. Weather it was Child/God by Ketan Bhagat or Paradise Lost and Regained by Ratnadip Acharya or any other, every story is unique in its way and really touching.
I pay my utmost thanks to all the writers for writing such amazing books, meanwhile your determination is always admired at my end. Doesn't matter how much distance between us is, a feeling of lingering chit-chit is much enough to heal the worse mood.
Now lets come to the topic...
Here I am listing books with minute detail which I really admire for entertaining me:

Reviews on "Riding God's Axe: Train Journeys Across God's Own Country"



Review Point: 3.5 out 5
Author: Siva Sadasivan
Publisher: Leadstart Publishing
Genre: Non-fiction/Travel/Memoir
ISBN: 978-93-52017-64-7
Pages: 162
Book Type: Hardcover

Platform:
As subtitle tells, it is a real life experience of writer in throughout the South India specially Kerala state. He narrates his life and experience from the very beginning of time when one starts to remember things for future and look back from future. The Island express, The Tea Garden Express, The Poorna Express, The Nilambur Passenger and many other trains which writer has spent a time of his life. Meanwhile the places he had visited earlier are also depicted in the book. To know what he has felt and how touched the originality of things which millions missed in their life, go through the Riding God's Axe.

Strength of the Book:
South India in itself holds a damn natural beauty and writer has take equal benefit of this. Describing the experience very beautifully writer takes readers in an unending journey which is full of experience and unique moments.Writer has described the beauty of the places wherever he traveled via train. The way of narration makes readers familiar to the places which they never been. Somewhere interesting dialogues of people are also included. Throughout the Journey, he met many people and talked with them, all he has put in the book. The Parasuram Express section is written in a different perspective which is really impressive. To talk about people sitting at the door of running train, chikan biryani from NVRR, the place kozhikode, Spanish friends, support to Barcelona and all others put smile over face of reader. Writer has also described his family in his jounery as his sister, his father. He shows father instillation train for love in him.

Weakness of the Book:
Sometimes book becomes boring as writer depicts a scenario too long. People who expect it have it a proper story with a justified ending would surely be disappoint. Somewhere writer has collapsed the things which arise the interest of reader, i.e., The Poorna Express. The way of beginning is little weak.

Conclusion:
Being unique creation of its type, this book is really an admirable pick up. Starting from the very earlier time of life, this book gives immense pleasure to readers in each and every chapter. Writer has tried much possible ways to make readers more familiar with the places and time which he had happened once. Besides, the things which everybody notices but ignore at the eleventh hour is presented very beautifully. Title and cover page completely suits to the story, also going with the same pace, this book will be loved by the travel-reader as the interest is maintained.



Side Point: There are two ways to present a book of journey:
With story
without story

In with story, writer makes a fictional plot for the book and narrates his experience of the place by adhering to the consistency of the story while making equal interest of the readers and bringing characters to the place reasonably. 
Example: From Afar by Frank Scozzari

This book is a non fiction creation and extracted from the real life experience in the valley of nature. Meeting with the beat of originality, this book makes readers travel throughout the place they never visited.

3.5 out of 5

Reviews on "Love Is Blind"


Review Point: 3.5 out 5
Authoress: Tasneem Sara
Publisher: Cyberwit.net
Genre: Fiction/Romance
ISBN: 978-81-8253-492-6
Pages: 142
Edition: First

Platform:
Samay is a teenager and lives in Bombay with his friend Ray. Both work in salon owned by Ray. Samay's mother lives alone in village. Her husband went so far from both of them to serve the world with his goodness. But he often sends letter to his son. Samay does not like his father at all. He reads his letter with no mood. Here at salon, once Samay meets Kena. Kena is simple and beautiful girl but physically disabled. He is dazzled by her simplicity and then slightly they come close. Kena tells him each and every secret of her life one by one and asked his too. Ray gives him complete freedom to co-operate with his salon and life with Kena. Then one day, when Samay visits Kena's home, after their dinner everything gets changed. Samay finds himself lifeless. What happened to Samay? What Kena did or how would she save him? Will Samay meet his father ever and love him? To know more, read "Love Is Blind".

Strength of the Book:
Amazing start. Book will bring readers in the valley of love. Emotions are described beautifully. Character justification is proper. Writer has touched the desire of readers and pinched them nicely with the proper use of literature. Dialogue writing is much effective. The way of narration makes readers to be more close with the life of Samay and Kena. Story goes on the same pace and doesn't let readers bore throughout the narration. Though, book is written with the male view but equal importance is given to male and female characters viz. Kena and Samay's mother. Ending is good and really different from other love stories.

Few Lines from the Book:
I wished I could reach out to her, and pull her in my arms. My feelings had nothing to do with her beauty. Undoubtedly, she was beautiful, like the ones who could melt you down in your seat. She had a magnetic face, with a speck of practical wisdom, hair that covered the swell of her breasts and skin the colour of cream. Her personality was full of charisma, but it was her simplicity that I found alluring. At times, when I stared at her, I found her a perfect epitome of sheer beauty.

Weakness of the Book:
In the last quarter of the book, story becomes boring and with lack of interest. Dialogue writing doesnt seem worthy for this part. Kena character is defined in such a way that she is normal person while it is earlier told that she is physically disabled. It makes readers confuse.

Conclusion:
Authoress Tasleem Sara has presented a pure love story with the bites of romance emotions peep out from the heart. Each and everything is shaped perfectly to give book the best taste to meet the desire of readers. Title completely suits to the story, while cover page could me more impressive. On the other hand, readers may feel hatred for writer to give such different end to the book. Kena character in the book will make readers to fall in love with her.

Two more authors Zarfasheen Zia and Charly Priest have contributed in the book with their story A Human Connection and The Blogger respectively.

Strength of the Book:
All 22 stories are mind blowing and never heard before. Being unique of their types, these stories are extracted from the corridors of our life. From the very beginning, books maintains the interest of readers and does make them bore even for a while. Each segment of human feeling is present in the book. Also, Story alignment is amazing. Each story ends with the sweet poem which is closely related to the story in a different manner. No grammatical issue is present and book is properly mixed with the US and UK English style, which gives a different view to readers to have it peacefully. Dialogue writing is really good and much effective. Also, it has proper taste of literature.

Few lines from the Book:

It was a moment of eternal peace for her. She had died the day she was sold and was nothing more than one of the living dead, satisfying hungry souls. It was her time to gain the final freedom.
                                                                                                                                            -(Sandcastles)

She was getting accustomed to her life alone. A smile adored her beautiful face and the thunder seemed to rhyme with her music. Her sleek and slender fingers were elegantly moving on the black and white piano keys.
                                                                                                                                        -(Let's go home)

I kept looking at his face, waiting for those big blue eyes to flutter open and his lips to curl up in that infectious smile which had ability to light up the whole world. My heart longed for him to move...even just a little...so I would know that he was alive, that he would make it through this. But time stood still just like his body.
All that was left of him was his blood, now mixed with dirt and dust.
How was it possible? He was right there, alive and well and now he was gone? Even though we never talked, we still connected. I wish I had more time to dream with him, go to know him better and may be plan our future together.
                                                                                              -(A Human Connection) by Zarfasheen Zia

 
Weakness of the Book:
In few chapters, book has typo errors. Presentation could be more effective. Book lacks consistency from the beginning to the end. Cover page is not that much impressive.

Conclusion:
This is one of the unique and impressive ways to present collection of short stories. This book is best spice for readers who are fond of reading but get less time. Language is simple but attractive. This book is perfect sum up of the creativity, imagination, hard work of authoress as well as a crisp of emotions, feelings, touching moments and humanity. It promises to readers an admirable read without any bang of boredom. Authoress has made characters alive in her narration. Book is not centralized on the characters of a particular age group but roams around the different stages of ages of different persons who are somewhere among us.

Few outstanding stories in the book are:
  1. You will hold my heart forever
  2. A Moment
  3. A Final goodbye
  4. Sandcastles
  5. Feel the rain
  6. Goodbye
  7. Mother
  8. A Human Affection

Reviews on “Fizz...”


Review Point: 4 out 5
Author: Kannan
Genre: Fiction/thriller
ISBN: 978-93-52017-64-7
Pages: 239
Target Audience: Above 12 year old

Platform:
Syed Ashraf Pasha is of forty and the third in command in the Pakistani Army. He with his army friend Borg, plans a mission in his mind to shake India and the entire world without having blame of done anything. He calls Qadar to strengthen his mission as he has deep expertise in the nuclear field and wittiness with the intelligence bureaus. They plan to have a nuclear blast somewhere in Afghanistan near Pakistan border to shake the tectonic plates which directly relate to Himalaya.  But, it turns tough when one of their hired members discloses it to media. Rizwan, their follower comes to handle the further mission with Habibullah. How they arrange nuclear bomb? How they enter in Afghanistan crossing border? Will they be able to succeed their mission? Will India face the bitter taste of their plan? What western countries will do to fail their plan? To know, go through the novel Fizz...

Strength of The Book:
Writer has chosen a platform which is beyond the imagination of common people about the terrorist. Dialogue writing in precised way makes the interest a lot. Narration doesn't let readers to feel bore even in a single line. All issues are stated in straight forward way. Issue which is much sensitive and problem for entire world is chosen. Writer has maintained the dignity of all the high authority people of India, Russia, China, Pakistan, USA and other countries while writing dialogues. Moreover, beginning of novel is amazing and story goes till the end on the same pace. Character justification is done in best way by giving perfect ending to the story at right time.

Few Lines From The Book:

The advantage of having a scientist to detonate the bomb, rather than a soldier, is that he can take a decision based on his knowledge and wisdom. Soldier is trained to follow instructions, while a learned man evolves by questioning the orders.

Silence won't serve any purpose. If you have the audacity to spoil something, you should have the ability to plan something else too. I knew the faith quotient I enjoy is negative.

He can't control even a single wife, but has two. In a way, he is like your unofficial prince of India - he wants the power but not the responsibilities. Even power, he cannot digest.

Weakness of The Book:
Characters after characters are introduced chapter by chapters which makes readers confuse. Though narration is best but few incidences of past (i.e, Qadar' Aunty, Rizwan) are written unnecessarily. As written for Indian and out of the world, this book makes readers to have feeling of HATE for Pakistan.

Conclusion:
Fizz... is based on terrorism activity in unbiased way. As everybody knows, human mind adapts negative thoughts quickly, this book is an example of negativity. Just for entertainment with the curiosity with page after page, this book is really amazing to be read. As directly blaming Pakistani army and their thinking, this book is not able to get love from that country and all which favor it. Novel fills Indian with the feeling of patriotism and let them feel worried for the north Indian while reading the story. In our country, when a child is not able to spell Pakistan, he is taught to hate Pakistan. Child hates without knowing their point. In the same way, this book riddles readers mind of readers with the anger for Pakistan which is not good message for humanity at all. Title perfectly suits to the story but cover page is not a bit impressive. Novel also clears the dust of people's mind who think Muslims are not good in anyway. 

Saying of My Colleagues on Fizz... :
He shouldn't have presented this story. The earthquake which we felt on 26th October 2015, which center was in Afghanistan, may be terrorist caused it after reading his novel. It should be banned by government. Though you are writer and you have freedom to write anything but you shouldn't give others chance to harm human in anyway. But salute to the writer who has such mind blowing thinking which one can not imagine ever.

Experience Matters: An Interview with Author Sunil Sinha


Guruji's Ashram is the debut book of Author Sunil Sinha. Touching different cores of life, this book deals with the adversities of societies and mental peace of people frustrated from the life. Being motivational, this book gives readers a way to think towards the positiveness. Come, join him what he shares of his life.

Let us know something about this author of amazing book “Guruji’s Ashram”.
First of all, let me thank you for finding “Guruji’s Ashram” an amazing book. 
There is nothing much to talk about me. I travel in a world that is black and white and I have no use of gray. I love adventurous sports. I am curious, determined, intense, passionate, and filled with desire. I always follow my heart and do things which I love to do. I am not afraid of losing/failing. For me, a loss/failure today simply means an opportunity of victory/success tomorrow. 

When you realized your potential of writing? On seeing appreciation for your work from all critics, don’t you think you had to start writing earlier?
Although I loved reading books of different genres of both foreign and Indian authors since childhood, I had never seen myself as a writer. I had not written anything other than business communication before ‘Guruji’s Ashram'. 
One evening, while I was on my evening walk, a thought came and a story started forming in my mind. Moment I came home, I narrated the story to my wife and kids. They were thrilled and asked me to write it. That evening I sat for three hours and wrote a summary of the story and asked them to read it. They liked and appreciated the story. That is when I decided to write a full length novel. At that point, I was not sure if any publisher would accept to print it. To my surprise Leadstart and two other publishers accepted my proposal. 
I believe, whenever something has to happen, it happens. Inspiration of doing something new comes on its own, you just have to listen to your heart. It is never late to do something you love. 

How was your journey up to the beginning of writing of Guruji’s Ashram and what conflicts you faced while writing it?

All through my life, I followed my heart and have done things that I loved to do, because of this, my life has been full of excitement and twist and turns. I had lived almost all my dreams but felt something missing. When I started writing, I realized that my thirst for doing something new has finally been quenched. 
I fell in love with writing during ‘Guruji’s Ashram.’ There was no conflict. I already had the story in mind, I just had to sit and type those thought in words. 

Readers are saying that you have exaggerated the erotic part in the novel? Please let us know your opinion on it.
I would not say I have exaggerated erotic parts. However, I accept that the scenes of my novel are explicit. In my novel, all the scenes are explicitly described whether it is ‘Love Making’ or ‘Rape scene’ or ‘Treatment of Cancer’ or ‘way of doing Pranayama and Meditation’ or ‘description of Ayurvedic Medicines or ‘distribution of Drugs’ or ‘Torture and Murder’ or most importantly- ‘the way the protagonist brings about changes in education system and takes a poor state to the path of development’. I would say all scenes of my novel are explicitly described.

What kind of support and ignorance from your loving persons you came through after Guruji’s Ashram? 
While writing novel I got all support I needed from my family. 
Readers of “Guruji’s Ashram” who did not know me personally appreciated it and encouraged me to write more but surprisingly, I did not get much response (support or appreciation/criticism) from most of the people who, I thought, were close to me. However, a few of them had gone an extra mile to help me out.

Though, you’re book is amazing but as being debut author, what type of struggle you faced to publish your book?
I have heard a lot about the struggles of debutant authors to get their book published. I think I was lucky on this account. My proposal of ‘Guruji’s Ashram’ was accepted within a month. 

There was a message in your novel Guruji’s Ashram so what’s your motto to write novel? Is this your hobby or you want something else? 
This story is targeted on people who are looking for peace and happiness in their life by following different kinds of so called “Gurus”, without realizing that most of these “Gurus” are in fact doing business and making money in the name of offering of  peace of mind and happiness. These “Gurus”, if stop being greedy and use the money they collect from their devotees/ followers for the benefit of people and help society, they can do a lot to uplift poverty and eradicate illiteracy and they could actually provide peace of mind and happiness to millions of people.
I started writing my first novel just for fun. But while writing ‘Guruji’s Ashram’ I fell in love with writing. Now I think I have to live with my love. 

Your novel was touching different aspects of life from teen age to older age. So does it give a glimpse of your personal life? How you distinguish your life and the character of your novel Guruji’s Ashram?
I would say the novel gives a glimpse of present day scenario of commercialization of spirituality of India. Different kinds of Gurus and Babas have cropped up who are looting gullible people in the name of spirituality. 
I write fiction. Once I decide a topic and story line, I gather the information and materials needed for my book from many sources like newspapers, internet, books etc, to cook up my story. 
Guruji’s Ashram may seem like someone’s real life story but I assure you that it is purely fiction. 
I think a writer observes events around him/her and writes about it. Whatever a writer writes, it come through the writer and not by the writer. 
Characters of my novel are fictitious. I only hope, one day, if I get the opportunity and the means, I would like to do what Tapas, the protagonist of my novel, did for the upliftment of poor people and the development of country. 

Who are your favorite authors and why?
I do not have any one particular favorite author, I love - Sidney Sheldon, Irving Wallace, Harold Robbins, Jeffery Archer, Ken Follett, Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, Khushwant Singh, Chetan Bhagat, Amish Tripathi - there are many more. They all great writers and have their own style of writing and they all are unique in their own way. 

Would you like to discuss your work on your upcoming novels? 
My next two novels are “I am not a Terrorist” and “Retribution.” Both these books will be published in 2016. At present, I am working on two more. That is all I can say at the moment. 

Any message to your readers and budding authors? 
I would like to thank all my readers for reading, appreciating/criticizing my book and giving me their valuable feedback. Their appreciations have encouraged me to write more books and their feedback/criticisms have helped me in improving my writing. 
I am a budding author myself. I am not in a position to give advice, at least, not yet.

What problem he faces and what factors centralize the story? To know more, go through the "I Will Not Regret Losing You"

Strength Of The Book:
Book is maintained with the same pace from beginning to end. Multiple twisting points, happiest and saddest moments are fabricated with the story. Character justification is done. Starting is really good. Dialogue writing is good. Book follows the theories about love and friendship and scattered beautifully on both pillars. It arises curiosity of readers and make them smile and laugh too in regular interval.

Weakness Of The Book:
Story plot is weak and very common. Narration is not done properly. Way of presentation is some childish type and not matured enough. After half of completion, story diverts from the theme and runs on the behalf of other characters i.e. Gaurav. Some of moments are not written properly which make story a fake look.

Conclusion:
Starting with the words of Sudeep Nagarkar (author of many best selling novels) this book targets to the teenagers only. Those who are fond of love story and seeking for a new spice, this book doesn't stand on their expectation. But if you wanna memorise your teen age with your candid nature and originality, this book is best spice. Depicting the survival of friendship and the pros and cons of love with the time, this story is a perfect collection of different memories of life in teen time. Book completely suits with the title but cover page is not impressive.

Reviews On "Boarding House"


Review Point: 3.25 out 5
Authoress: Vandana Singh
Genre: Fiction
ISBN: 978-93-84027-65-0
Pages: 193

About The Book:
Varsha is a small girl, lives in Rajnagar with her family which has her parents, elder brother Arjun and two younger sister Uma and Shreya. Shreya is mentally and physically challenged since birth. Her father is a medium class employee who hardly manages his family in that tiny income. They somehow grow and one day their father gets an opportunity to work in foreign. He walks away by leaving Arjun and Varsha at boarding school. Varsha spends her spell of age there and learns lot of things which she follows throughout her life. She carries a special feeling for Black people of western countries and as time passes, she finds herself trapped between the mentality of white and black people. What type of struggle she does in boarding house? What she learns from there? What mentality she has about Black people? Who she will marry? Why Arjun starts to hate her? To know all these, go through the book Boarding House.

Strength Of The Book:
Starting is good. Way of presentation is very good and appreciable. Instead discussing wholly about boarding house, writer has taken a different way to make people stuck with the book. Perfect blend of sad and happy moments, this book a good read. Book has many of interesting point to spread smile on readers face. Touching the reality of nations and thinking of people about racism and all other major issues, this story is wonderful mesh-up to control the upbringing. How a girl finds herself trapped between her own wishes and pressure of marriage put by parents, is beautifully presented in the book. Character justification is also done. Narration is good and enough to read bind readers till the end.

Some of the lines from the book: 

I sometimes wonder how certain Whites, despite their racial superiority, are white only in their skins, but what black hearts they have.

Western society is a boarding house society. Only sex is free, everything else has to be paid for.

Kanyadaan (the gift of the virgin daughter)

In his later letters, he wrote to me, 'I sometimes wonder if I am a product of my parents' love or lust.'

In India, there is a big difference and a real difference of values between the service and business classes. The service classes are highly educated, sacrificing, honest and sensitive and with values, whereas the business class is a moneyed class usually with a lot of easy money, often less educated or without the same value for high education, care for nothing except monetary gains, and many are insensitive to the suffering of the poor. Many, but not all have money but no class or values.

(this published content of the book contains copyright and is not for business use. If you do, you will be solely responsible for financial lose)

Weakness Of The Book:
Platform is not properly justified. Story deals with a serious topic racism which is completely away from the theme predicted by title. Multiple characters are introduced in the very beginning of the story which creates too much confusion. After first chapter, name of narrator is written at page 68. Dialogue writing is minimum.

Conclusion:
As the title predicts story about, it diverts after few pages and speaks about the learning from the place. Those who pick up this book to read the ups and downs of market, this book makes disappoint. Racism spread in the world and survival of a lady between her choices and pressure of society is described in amazing way. Cover page could be more impressive to deal with the theme and factors covered by the book. Cover page says the story is fiction but writer has given it a real look so the story seems completely original without a single line of imagination. By discussing each thing equally with best narration this book secures a safe place in the selves of readers.

Reviews On "And The Heart Died"


Review Point: 2.75 out 5
Author: Aseem Srivastava
Genre: Fiction/Love Story
ISBN: 978-93-52013-31-9
Pages: 252

Platform:
Living in hostel with friends DG (Digvijay) and Glass (Sarthak), Aswani is a Law student. His Tau Ji and gradmother finalise a trip to Kedarnath in June'13. All three go there along with his family. Here Aswani comes in contact with Suman, engineering student. Suman Weather turns worst and all they find themselves into the deep trouble. Meanwhile Suman and Aswani come close and he narrates his painful life to her where he had lived more life each day with the imbalance of family. At last he loses his friend DG and grandmother. Suman and Aswani fall in love and get success in their field. But will situation remain same? What would happen to their lives? What are the factor which make the story, covering the title? To know more, read "And The Heart Died".

Expectation Of Readers:
As blurb says that the story will revolve with the actual tragedy happened in Kedarnath. Though the work is fiction, but readers connect their lives with that unfortunate doing of nature. Readers' expectation with the book is, it would surely describe well what had happened there with them or their beloved one. 

Strength Of The Book:
Good platform is chosen for narration. Kedarnath tragedy of June'13 really pinched the heart of all humans. Each situation from hostel life to struggle factor, love to betrayal is described well. Story is properly knitted and goes in the same pace from beginning to end. Multiple happy and sad incidences are included to let readers be engaged with the book. Ending is really shocking and admirable. It makes readers to shed the tears for the pain of character. Character justification is also a positivity of story. Besides, what title depicts is, it is a heart touching love story with a sad ending. Law and lawyer section is described in good way by showing the reality of present time. No pin-out is created in this section.

Few Lines From The Book:

"I have never been to any school. Is it fun there?" I asked.
Karan replied, "I don't think so. My sister says that they punish her when she doesn't do her homework."
"What is homework?" I asked.
Karan replied, "I don't know. But it is something bad."


I aimed for the sky; but I forgot I was not a bird. I aimed for the heaven; but I forgot I was not an angel.

Weakness Of The Book:
Writer has not worked to describe the tragedy of Kedarnath. When relating to real life happening, this books falls on the expectation of readers. Narration and dialogue writing are weak and do not properly cope up with the depiction. Describing different lives of characters, story run away from the theme and let readers be perplexed with flow. Love story is weak and not that much crispy.

Conclusion:
Book "And The Heart Died" is the debut novel of author "Aseem Srivastava". Those who are fan of love stories, can opt this book for good entertainment. Being first book on such Kedarnath topic, this book is good read and makes readers familiar with the personal life and fear of a social person who goes against wrong things. If you are expecting incredible love story and to read more and more about the mishappening of that religious place, then book will disappoint you. It doesn't stand worthy on the expectation of teen agers but surely promises happy reading to the readers of 20's and 30's. Cover page is not attractive and also title somehow not relates to the story.

Money A Modern Addiction

As the world is turning to globalization, many fields are growing rapidly while few leaving breath from the world due to lack of interest of people or curse by technology. With the modernization of society and workplace, money has emerged out as a crucial factor which has overwhelmed each and every mind. Initially when population was less and technology was not so much advanced, needs of peoples were limited. But as time changed, technology spread its hand in the market and forwarded people have life of comfort. On the other hand, population rises rapidly which causes increment in the number of consumers and limitation in the availability of the key of happiness. People’s mind is filled with the thought that if money is in hand, happiness is at home. People are dying to earn more and more money. With the hike in population job opportunities come to limit which produces competition among people. Once, if there were 10 opportunities, there were minute people but at present for a single opportunity a fight occurs with thousands and millions people together.

Companies are trying their best to have best employee by providing all time best salary to candidate. If we talk about metro cities, survival of a common man has been more tough due to rapid exposure to modernization of place. There rich are being richer and poor still stand constant. They also want to improve their standard to stand equally or somewhere at a good position to be the real part of the city. In the temptation of money, many of graduates, post graduates and other people are following a wrong path which ends at prison or death. And it is just to make standard among rest. We are adapting western culture and trying to think out of the box which really take our mind to a different direction. This direction follows path only for money which considering right or wrong. At present, we are living for standard and show off. A man is ready to spend his 16 out of 24 hours in his office just to get money. In the grasp of thinking about money, man has forgotten about all happiness at present. He earns for future by ruining his health and present. A family is happy to having 3 BHK or a bungalow in rapid growing city without considering it that they are going to live in it. In this greediness of people, the thing which enjoying fruitful time, is corporate sector. They are looting people in the name of brand and people are paying high amount of money. For an example, a man who initially used to wear a shirt of 200 to 250 rupees now after earning money just to show off doesn’t talk about anything else except reputed cloths brand like Armani and Blackberry. Also in the same way, where a car of Maruti Suzuki which cost 4 to 5 lakhs gives complete comfort, a man for the sake of his standard goes for Audi and BMW.

People are not ready to believe that money can not buy anything specially a deteriorating health and relations. Money factor has made people far from their dear ones and put a seed of jealousy between them.

Reviews On "#IAm16ICanRape"

Review Point: 4 out 5
Authoress: Kirtida Gautam
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
ISBN: 978-81-931360-2-7
Pages: 592

About The Book:

He has Arush, Gayatri his wife, Ananya his daughter in low, Mrigank his son and Navya his granddaughter in his family. Besides, Pihu is also an important part of their family.

Will they be able to save Aarush? Who is telling lie? Either Aarush or Shubhangi? How pihu plays a role of mysterious person? What step will Rudransh take to let the victim have right judgement? Will a change in government rules and Indian constitution take place? To give your curiosity a platform, go through this amazing book #IAm16ICanRape.

Strength Of The Book:
Incredible platform is chosen which is slightly avoided by common people. As being a women, it is very hard for her to talk about rape and all. But authoress has done her work in best way. She has not only given light to the juvenile crime but also evinced the effect of a rape on both families and surroundings. To depict the emotions and thinking of each character of story specially when there are many is really a difficult task but authoress has given equal importance to all the mentioned characters and showed their emotions in a beautiful way. Book is written in the prospectus of both male as well as female. Many of topics which included in this story such as juvenile factor, freedom of women, our constitution, government rules, respect of a woman, are crafted perfectly. Book doesn't make readers bore at all. To keep the readers away from confusion between characters, these are properly segmented into chapters. Narration is admirable. All points are stated in straight forward way. To keep readers engaged with the new terms, appendix is also given.

Few Lines From the Book Are:

I want to sound like a sissy, but I miss my pillow and my bed. I don't claim to understand love. Love is not a regular emotion of my system. They say if you love someone, you can give you life for that person. I can't give my life for anybody. Does that mean I don't love anybody?
- (Aarush of age 16 and accused of rape)
People should either think or not think, but they should not think they think when they postulate.
- (Aarush of age 16 and accused of rape)
When I use the word stupid, I mean a person who is an emotional fool. When I use the word idiot, I mean a person who is low in intelligence. I use a self-invented word, stupidiot, for a person who is both stupid and an idiot.
                            - (Aarush of age 16 and accused of rape)
I am too valuable to be forgotten.
                            - (Aarush of age 16 and accused of rape)
Human gather knowledge about their environment by two distinct methods-firstly, through their five senses, and secondly, through their minds. The person who gathers most of his knowledge using one of his senses is called a sensory type person. The person who gathers most of his knowledge using his mind is called an intuitive type person.
                                     -(Samvedana, They psychologist)
In transactional analysis, a winner is a person who responds authentically, by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of society. Yes, he is not winner. He plays his game in such a way that no matter what you do, you can't win against him. Because, first, he doesn't play to win, he play so that other people lose.
-(Samvedana, They psychologist)

(this published content of the book contains copyright and is not for business use. If you do, you will be solely responsible for financial lose)

Weakness Of The Book:
Though depiction is good but when it comes to victim part (Shubhangi Tyagi), author fails to express her pain and emotions very well. Shubhangi Tyagi is the most sensitive character so it had to be described as well. Harry and Shrini characters are described too much unnecessarily which make story diverted from the theme. Vijay (the second accused of rape case) character is also limited. When describing one from the same box, other must not be neglected. Besides Ananya (mother of Aarush) is presented as only one sided, her second face with her son could me more descriptive. Ending of the book somehow disappoints readers with the conveyed message. Besides, Vaishnavi character was not needed anymore. Grammatical errors and typos also appear on many pages. 

Conclusion:
When everyone is afraid of talking about a heart aching topic rape, Authoress Kirtida Gautam presents an interesting book on this topic. Based on the Nirbhaya Rape Case, Delhi, this story holds the breath of readers. Full of suspense and penetrating emotions, this book is an unforgettable ride. It is about "When it comes about physical, a boy of 15 is equal to a man of 25 . He gets this capability at the age of 12 or 13, so why to make him free to do anything (even rape too) till he ceases 18." Holding much avoided word "rape" in the title, this book deals with the psychology and mental state of teen agers as well as elder people before and after a rape case of their beloved. Striking on narrow and conservative thinking of women, this book leaves readers with many questions such as "amendment in constitution, "women's hesitation and fear to come forward after being raped, their support to other women, juvenile age, freedom of all women and teenager boys".
