This book talks about 31 Indian women scientists who come from various regions of our country yet to be known in a big way to many of us but none the less they are contributing greatly for the community and to the world of science , arts and many other arenas of life.  From Botanist who helps local farmers of Eastern hilly areas to combat the affects of deadly viruses in orange plants to scientists who study astrophysics who are related to  mysterious traits of black holes, they are not only making the female clan but the whole human kind proud.  Their strong willed mind never failed .

This book Vengeance of the Fallen by Author Abhishek Babu is a blend of various genres.  The cover is quite dark, eye catching and vivid. It is a tale that swings between a historical fiction and then to a fantasy backdrop where you see futuristic elements. The book starts with few unique concepts by author like how he has put forward the dates in AE and BE like our BC And AD. It showed the intellectual and imaginative thoughts a reader can enjoy to  explore the  mystic plot and have an adventurous ride. Author has creative ideas.  Then there was this map showing how provinces were divided and ruled by moriyan  and other dynasties with few suspense lurking into a conspiring tale along with a prophecy. How is it related to the future where the earth has gone cold , now there are some particle colliders all over the planet but what are there purposes , who silently entered the lab and changed the main particle and what is his aim , is he ...

I chose these 5 clues for my blind date with a book ! Recently I came across a Mumbai based start up called Prologued where they help people go on a "blind date" with books.  _______________________ A Blind Date with a Book is a lot of fun where you can order a hand wrapped book that has 5 clues written on the top. These clues vaguely describe what the book is about and based on that you have to pick your read.You won't be aware of anything else - not the author or even the title of the book. Which book you will  receive depends on the seller team .  _______________________ After finalising your book, you may place an order which starts from 250/- and your blind date will arrive at your doorstep.I received mine after 7-10 days and that's when I  got  to unwrap it and know which book it is. It is like pampering yourself with a little surprise.Again it was plastic free packaging.Nicely wrappped with jute thread and a brown paper with ...

With arrival of events that bring grief in our life , we either start becoming more inert and emotionless or start to understand the great secrets of life sent in subtle ways by the universe to make us learn to survive in a better way . It is a very short read of only pages. The cover totally made me choose it. The story actually is melancholic and philosophical in nature.  Also, the experiences are from the real life understanding of authoress. Mona is an independent strong headed woman. she has blocked out emotional attachments tagging them as weak mindedness. But as the story progresses, I came to know all this strong exterior is due to a sudden heart-breaking incident that took place in her life long ago when she started questing the purpose of the existence and love.

The cover truly is eye catching like infrared thermal vision picture with halo and chrome effect .Quite vivid ,  I like it . This is the second book of Author Yuvaraja whose first book Merjella was a children's fantasy adventure based fiction revolving around aquatic life . Now this book is a blend of thriller with YA romantic elements. Fast paced with short chapters , I actually liked it as the plot didn't lag. The story of Sofia and Mohan moved with a breeze which started with a catchy uncanny beginning of introducing themselves as robbers but Sofia is actually medical student in Germany . Mohan is very secretive and kind of cheeky . Even if it all started with a joke , casual childish acts , their adventures like youngsters put their feet in unknown cobwebs basically got them into serious series of life risking results  . How did they fall in the decision of robbing a bank at the first place ? Why ? Did they really need the  money ? Or...

This book starts with an intro that says these short stories came in form of letters sent to the authors  by many people around the world and 15 best were selected among them.  I came  to know later  that its just a concept but this way of presentation is thoughtfulness to catch readers attention .Each letter starts with a title and many of them are shown as they were either found in hands of unknown little kid by side of a road  , a dying man or sent by a journalist , etc. I liked the letter by a Prostitute in hands of her kids. It was heart breaking. Though its a fiction but that is the reality and it is horrific to even imagine. Then the letter by an army personnel to his beloved telling war is not an answer . He sends his undying love to his unborn child . It was beautiful. The first letter that was by a father confessing to his son his untold love story didnot to...
