The Lucky One B y Nicholas Sparks If you have ever watched Bollywood movies specially the romantic love stories, then, you must be aware of the name ‘Yash Chopra’ who was the popular fil m maker especially in romantic genre. He was considered the king of romance in filmaking, similarly for me, Nicholas Sparks is the king of romance in writing books. This book will make you believe that your destiny will find you what so ever may happen or putting in other words: 'What you seek is seeking you.'  The whole story revo lves around one photograph which ma y sound s absurd . But once you read the book, you will understand how a photo grap h can become a lucky ch arm for someone . Its like we all would have been believing in something, or someone, or may be some habit of ours , at some point of time, as our lucky mascot which br ought us good omen (who knows may be some of us deep down still believe in our lucky mascot) . But if someone would have asked you...

Sita – Warrior of Mithila By Amish Tripathi This book is mainly focused on Sita. How was her childhood, her relation with her parents, her upbringing and her education, that’s why if you have read Book 1, you may find repetition of few events post Ram and Lakshman came to Mithila for Sita’s Swayamvar, however, this time they have been explained from Sita’s perspective i.e. what Sita was thinking and feeling during all those events. Disclaimer : This book has no reference to Ramcharitmanas or Ramayana. This is a work of fiction.

She met him through one of her gurukul’s friend Radhika, who ...

Ram - Scion of Ikshvaku By Amish Tripathi Starting the discussion of Ram Chandra Series and not beginning it with the quote ‘Raghukul reet sadaa chali aayi, praan jaye par vachaan naa jaye’ is incomplete. Amish Tripathi's persuasive style of writing would actually make you believe that Ram and Sita (like Shiva and Sati in Shiva Trilogy) are not deities of Hindus, but human beings who transformed and eventually through their acts became Vishnu (Mahadev in Shiva Trilogy). And Ram Chandra Series is a journey of how Vishnu came up at the right time to guide his people and society and named this transformed kingdom, which was ruled by law and based on equality, as ‘Meluha’. And Meluha was the starting point in the journey of Shiva to become a Mahadev. Thus, it’s a prequel to Shiva Trilogy in the sense. But this time Amish took the big risk by dare writing fictional inspired by Ramayana, one of the greatest epics of Hindu mythology. And here, I am wondering ho...
