The Zoya Factor by Anuja Chauhan


Are you bored of reading practical, meaningful and life-enriching stuff from the ‘Must-read book list’ that you have forced on yourself?  I guess the answer is ‘Yes’ cause you are still reading this post. Then please answer the next question. Are you a fan of a romantic novel with a dramatic, bollywood style storyline with a beautiful, passionate heroin and a handsome, adamant hero who happen to be thrown in her life and after multiple conflicts they finally reach their happily ever after. If your answer is still ‘Yes’ then wait no more. You are in for a ride with emotions, confusions, confessions and most of all, the ‘Aww’ moments. Anuja Chauhan had done a stupendous job in giving us that getaway from all practical realities to spend some time with an unbelievably lucky girl and an I-don’t-believe-in-luck-factor guy and a story of these two leading to a decisive moment for Indian Cricket team. Yah, u read it right. The story involves cricket and ,as a matter of fact, our hero is the captain of the Indian cricket team. Now that I have trickled your curiosity enough, grab that book and deep dive in the whirlpool of emotions. Don’t forget to tell me if you liked the book and share the best ‘Aww’ moment with all of us.  

Quote from the book
"So you think the only reason we’ve been winning is because you’ve been gracing our breakfast table  before the matches, do you?"

Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom

There is a quote in Srimad Bhagavad-Gita in Sanskrit which says “Jatasya Maranam Dhruvam”. It literally means that the star called Dhruv which rise in night has to set but the implied meaning of the saying is “That which is born shall die”. We know that our life is not eternal and there is an end for our life too, but we don’t want to think about our end or even the journey called life. We keep ourselves too busy in our goals and fight so hard to reach those goals that we forget to give time to the most important things in life.  Here is a story by Mitch Albom where he shares the lessons of life he learnt from his long-lost professor. In his last days, Professor Morrie, or what he would like to be called ‘Coach’, would act as a mentor for the writer and answer the questions which were bothering writer from long time. The questions which our generation doesn’t want to think about, may be because we are too scared to know the answer. The writer and his professor takes us ...

Those Pricey Thakur Girls by Anuja Chauhan

So here is the plot. A beautiful, elegant girl with a little hold-back attitude, placed right in the heart of the Sophisticated (!) Delhi. A girl whose parents believe that someday she will come out of her shell and take on the world; who has four sisters and each with a different quirk; who lives with a cheating uncle, a dramatic aunt & a not-so-smart but caring cousin. Along comes a turn of events that shakes her life. Witouht knowing, she becomes a part of politically influenced content on mass media communication that influenced so many life. Placed at the time when newly independent India was slowly waking up from the long nap of british raj and getting a grip of the opportunities and hardships came along with the Independence. A 400 page book (failry long, but justified with the content) for that purely romantic side of you. Grab this book and get ready to go back in the 80s to spend some time around  a sprawling bungalow on New Delhi's posh Hailey Road with...

The Gurkha's Daughter by Prajwal Parajuly

India has a wide cultural diversity with its population of 1.24 billion across its 21 states and 7 union territories, with its 21 major spoken languages, eight major religions, hundreds of regional festivals and thousands of flavours of local cuisine and arts. With this much load of diversity in one nation, it is very likely that one being an Indian is not aware of everything around the nation. But it is really hard to believe that how much little we know about the north eastern states of our own country. Beyond knowing their capitals (because teachers made you remember it), I doubt if any one of us knows about their culture, their beliefs, their traditions, or their political struggle.  Recently a north-eastern friend recommended me a book called ‘The Gurkha’s Daughter’ by Prajwal Parajuly which according to her was an eye-opening picture of the experiences faced by the people whose culture and language is Nepalese but who are dispersed to Bhutan, India and beyond.
