Glitter and Gloss Book Review

Blurb Misha is a makeup artist who, after a series of mishaps and twists and turns, falls madly in love with Akshay who reciprocates her love with ardour. The only hitch in this perfect romance is her prospective sister-in-law who thinks Misha is everything a Bahu shouldn’t be: garrulous, geeky, gawky, gainfully employed (especially the last bit). The questions are will Misha win Didi (and the Kha-Pee Panchayat) over with her Stepford Wife Act? Will she continue to be the poster child for the inherent evils of the Bahu Brigade? Or will she learn to ‘lau’ herself before the whole world and its wife can do the same?

Catharsis and Beyond Book Review

BLURB These are the delicate yet strong strings of a sensitive soul. Mostly they are cathartic but sometimes they are beyond that… The moods vary from spiritual currents to a passive resistance of the inner struggle through a female heart or from the balanced harmonious life to the ecstasy of complete freedom. The absurdity of social culture finds the satirical tune in few verses and some are the quiet expedition into the agitated mind. My Review The book is a really fast read. It just contains 83 pages with beautiful pictures. The book is just authors perspective on life and different aspects of it. The book is a poetry genre. The book contains 44 different poems, all the perspective of the author on different topics. I finished this book in less than half an hours time. The poems are simple, they aren’t very hard to understand and the words are simple. I didn’t love each and every poem but some poems are so beautiful. I loved the poem ”Enviable”. The book starts with the qu...
