Book Review: We Met For A Reason by Subrat Saurabh

Book Detail:
Book Name- We Met For A Reason
Genre- Subrat Saurabh
Publisher- Notion Press
Pages- 194 pages

Blurb- We met for a reason”, is an intriguing story of a guy named Karan who met three different women at various phases of his life. It moves with how he went on a roller coaster ride of emotions while dealing with these pretty nymphs and his own idea of life, where relationships are beyond the emotional tie ups, have zero expectations and absolutely no commitment.

Karan was fortunate enough to experience the real flavours of love in the form of warm affection, spicy sex and sour betrayal. His idea of romantic relationship is something which starts with a friendship, progresses with fingerlicious food at a restaurant, gets intense in a pub, gets sealed with a lip lock and later dissolves into a one-night stand. However, destiny had a different plan where he ended up falling in love with a girl, whom he thought to be, just another pawn in his journey of self-satisfaction. 

Sometimes even a short-lived relationship or an incident creates a huge impact on a person’s mind and may change the direction of his life. Life goes through a drastic change for Karan due to an incident and he realizes the importance of relationships.

Review:  In Loving Memory by Daniel Paul Singh is  Fiction novel where author serves us a crime fiction ladden with well written mystery and toppled it with a cute romantic story in between.

Copy- Kindle eBook.
Pages- 154 pages

Blurb- Ajith, the CEO of India’s most popular coffee chain, Good Morning Inc., is outrageously shocked to hear the pitch from a tech startup: fire all managers and replace them with AI. Though he wants to dismiss the idea, the pitch is ferociously compelling. Before Ajith could take a firm decision, an unexpected tragedy occurs at one of the coffee stores. Ajith loses control over his company overnight. He stages a secretive reverse coup to regain his company.

At the same time, the office of the WHO issues a warning about a global respiratory pandemic to the Indian government, but the prime minister’s office ignores it. Instead, it spends its focus on the developments of Good Morning Inc. Why would the PMO’s office be interested in the incidents of a corporate entity?

Rahul is excited to meet his blind date at one of the coffee shops of Good Morning Inc. What he doesn’t know is that he is just a pawn whose actions are about to trigger an avalanche of consequences in the lives of many people, related and unrelated to Good Morning Inc.

Will Ajith ever regain his company? Will he become the first CEO in the world to successfully use artificial intelligence instead of human leaders to manage its workforce?


Review: The Unexpected Leader is one of the most compelling books I have read recently. Given the book takes its inspiration from the recent CCD incident, Covid pandemic etc real life incidents, it makes the book reading a whole new fun. 


Cover of the book is apt, simple and smart and builds the overall vibe towards the book as the Title suggests.

Author has good narrative skills, author binds readers with the book with his narrative style. As the story progressed i found myself enjoying the slightly different narration of this book.

Book Review: Loves Lost by Sourabh Mukherjee

Book Details-
Book Name- Loves Lost
Author- Sourabh Mukherjee
Genre- Romantic Fiction
Edition- Kindle e-book

Blurb- A teenager in a quaint Kolkata neighbourhood falls in love with a girl who gets off her school bus every afternoon near his house and nurtures his love as the years pass by. A young entrepreneur turns to work and alcohol to get over the pain of losing the love of his life till she unexpectedly walks back into his arms in a party. A billboard advertisement reveals a shocking truth to a man who has lost his wife and his memory in an accident. An insecure boy fears losing an attractive girl forever when she breaks all contacts with him after they have made love. As a girl nurses her broken heart, she meets a stranger on the Internet.

Review- Loves Lost is an anthology by Sourabh Mukherjee where author presents us 5 short stories all of which have one common thing: Love. 

Sourabh takes us on a ride of love through different stories and makes us feel all the emotions one feels when love happens. It covers all form of loves ranging from Love at first sight, Second Chances, Unrequited Love and Closures. What I liked the most about the book is that the author even in its imagery does not force happy endings, mushy-cheekiness even though the central plot and theme of the stories is Love. The only thing I didn't like about this book is the stories become rather predictable given its theme but author tries well to cover it by adding twists and turns.

Narration is good and the imagery provided by author helps readers to get into the stories right from first page. Book Cover soothes an eye and is suitable with the book theme and title.

Overall, this 57 pages short book is something that you'll need to read after a hectic day of work or a short travel distance.

Book Review- Warming Fumes by Saurabh Pant

Book Details-
Book Name- Warming Fumes
Author- Saurabh Pant
Genre- Poetry
Edition- Kindle e-book

Blurb- 
This book is a vivid piece of poetry work by Indian author Saurabh Pant that generally focuses nature as its core theme to approach and study certain issues that are still vibrant.
A collection of poems with cartoons presented by Priya Verma from India and some photos shared by author's Indian Google team, the work highlights issues of warming, tries to bring them in common picture and explain problems widely.
The book contains poems on nature of certain areas, highlights issue of urban heat and cultural stigma, the challenges of political factors in scene, and ultimately focuses on the multiple scenes dominating the nature.
Thus it is a work of natural poetry, the author has presented rhythmic styles on certain poems, and at last a work that is surely going to attract readers and help them enjoy this poetry collection for sure at large...

Review- Warming Fumes is a collection of poems with Environment at the heart of this book.

This book has come out at such point of time when entire humanity has to stop and think about Environment and this book could help us articulate our thoughts better.

Poems read smooth and are of medium length. The usage of drawing attacts the attention and gives light to the poems being read, at certain point the drawing becomes monotonous and dosent add much flavour to the poems. 

Book Cover is beautiful, warm and eye soothing. 

I'd give 3.5/5 stars.

Book Review- Just A Housewife by Rakesh Varma

Book Details-
Book Name- Just A Housewife
Author- Rakesh Varma
Genre- General 
Publisher- Rupa Publications India 
Pages- 200 Pages 

Blurb- Barkha is a successful working woman. She is rich, beautiful and ambitious. But love eludes her.
Anjali is an intelligent, fearless and ambitious woman with a loving husband and two kids. Outwardly, her little family looks perfect but if you peer closely, her home is falling apart.
Aradhya is a submissive and dutiful wife who fears living after the death of her husband. But then, she has to protect her two little daughters from a harsh world.
What is it that these three women are looking for? Are they looking for love in their life or calm in the love, which they already have?
Just a Housewife explores the journey of three women in search of their identity, in a society constantly questioning their every move in a world that is ruthless.

Review-  Just A Housewife serves us not only a general fiction but also a kind of story which makes readers feel the characters and makes room for debate over the idea of the book.

Book Title and Cover- Book Title is suitable with content but lacks the eye grabbing power that the book title holds. Book cover is beautiful but again fails to attracts the attention of the readers.  Blurb is interesting and hints us about the content.

Language and Narration- Language of this book is simple and easily understandable. Narration is decent and easy going. 
All the characters in the book are defined amazingly. I loved how beautifully characters were growing simultaneously with the story.

Storyline and Plot- Talking about Storyline and Plot i must say that this book is unputdownable. The basic idea of this book is beautiful and demands full points for that. Author did try to make it presentable but there were parts where storyline seemed weak but altogether, the basic essence of story made it till the end. Story flows smoothly with enough pace to hold attention of the readers.

Author has amazing skill to describe all sort of emotions in few words. Also the story is not makes a good read but goes on ahead to make few points from the female perspective which I felt are the highlights of the book.


Kudos to the author for writing this book. It wasn't a perfect read but I'd still suggest you to read this book for the plot and general idea that it provides and promotes.

Book Review- The Alpha Yeti by SUM

Author- SUM
Genre- Fiction
Publication- AuthorHouse
Pages- 215 pages

Blurb- Every tribal land has its own tribulations and the Kasis were way beyond any hope or help, for what they were undergoing was terrifyingly unspeakable. It wasnt any myth or taboo. This one was true. The One God was as real as the White Giants. But, all the suffering and trepidation came from the impossibly aggressive Grey Giants. They were a deformity: a fallen imprecation on the Kasis. Somehow, a sensible Bhirendi, the elderly last of the Kasis, addresses the tragedy and rushes his people into the underground chambers of Ravaial before they are forced to face the wrath of the monstrosities that lately have begun to roll down from the White Mountain. With the situation only getting worse by the moment, the tribes hire a pack of ace hunters from the West. But, one of them freaks out and abducts the daughter of an estranged but once-upon-a-time famous hunter to only earn his ire. The hunters are drawn together into a strangely unwelcome land of doom with their fates sealed under the White Mountain. They soon realise that time is all they have left in the entire world when the Grey Giants begin their vicious play. SUM brings to you, The Alpha Yeti!

Though book has nothing new to give, author has good storytelling skills which holds the readers with the book.

Narration is done well but could be improved in next book for better reading experience.

Characters- Author has tried well to portray the College Goer characters and he succeeds to do so. However, Characters of the book lack depth and thus I was unable to relate to them even though theme is pretty much relatable.
