An Intriguing Tale of Love, Heartbreak and Everything Else That Follows!

From the first chapter of this book to the last, I just couldn't put it down!
Kudos to the author for for putting together an extraordinary story, and further narrating it in a fascinating way.

Starting from the cover of the book, which did mild justice to the plot, the story unfolds a yarn of compelling circumstances from different decades and times.

The characters of this book will touch your heart with their individual stories. The story revolves around a ruthless and powerful man who, even though, was arrogant but somewhere deep down, possessed a soft heart that was wrecked due to a melancholic past incident, his son who was a lonely man and loved his daughter beyond anything else  but does something merciless that accounted to 'honor killing' , more because his father, the ruthless politician, seemed to have an unusual hate for the lower caste.

It was only when the father's (Kartar Singh) ex-lover, comes to meet him and decides to go beyond what the eyes see and unravels the heart wrecking story behind the drastic change in the personality of Dilawar Singh who once was young boy and very much in love with a girl.

The story gets more intense and full of emotional ruckus and powerful feelings that unfurl through the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, partition and other convolutions, as Sarah tries her best to figure out the culprit of honor killing in Dilawar Singh.

It gets more complex and yet interesting as she tries to dig deeper into the past, and comes across certain incidents that turn the tables completely!

The only thing that struck a negative chord was that somewhere, I felt that the chapters of the book were a little more descriptive than required.

But once again I’d like to mention that the author has done an amazing job as a storyteller.

If you want to untangle the mystery behind this complexity of relationships in this book, well, then, get your copy of ''Honour for a Ransom'', and read on!

Book Review: The Justified Sin (by Harpreet Makkar) Exhibits Why Finding True Love is one Heck of a Roller Coaster Ride!

A gripping story sprinkled with multiple twists in between the chapters, The Justified Sin: Now Love Has a New Definition, is a good read for those who want to start with the art of book reading. However, the predictability of the book was throughout on edge.

The book depicts a situation which can literally take place in anybody’s life, but you have got to be strong to go through any emotional or physical turmoil that life throws at you. And whatever it is, any pain that you are going through, it gets okay in the end. Also, if you have a family that loves and supports your every decision, you can actually get through any situation. I adored the protagonist’s family in the book.

He literally does all that he could to find one true love, even when it meant hurting himself and sometimes, even people who loved him. It almost breaks him to pieces , the struggle to find the woman of his dreams, putting in such efforts to help others and getting nothing in the end. 

Maybe, if he had put a check on his insecurities and a habit of latching his own happiness on others, life would have been different but that’s one perspective of seeing a person. But people always get what they deserve in life. Did he get what he deserves too? Well, you have to read the book to find out.

The writer tried to connect with his audience at some level was successful in doing so, considering the emotional theme of the book which a person with quarter life crisis usually can relate to.

Also, another sin committed by the author apart from constantly going through a tornado of heart breaks was bad grammar. A book could be about anything but bad grammar. Also, better choice of words would have totally accelerated the narration of the story.

Nonetheless, the simplicity with which the author had illustrated the intensity of close relationships is commendable and that it brings out the everyday hustle that a regular man goes through and how throughout his journey of falling in and out of love, he gets back up every time and gives his all to another chance of finding true love which just doesn’t seem to come at bay.

This book is for everyone who has been a good friend, son, lover, or a brother, yes; it has got something for everyone. Overall, it is a good read, of course, if you aren’t too much of a grammar Nazi!

Let’s just hope that the next one from the author doesn’t leave the book lovers bruised with a heart wrecking English but continues to keep the simple style of telling a story intact.

Moon Child

You are the extraordinary silver,
amongst the ordinary stars of mine.
And I am the dark influx
rising and falling,
at your whimsical aspirations.

I wait for you to bless me
with your astounding glory,
every night.
As you work your magic
and pull me closer.
and then,
push me away.
with a smile.

As if,
an invisible string,
a silken thread,
of stringent faith,
binds us together.

And then you retreat 
as the dawn arrives,
with a promise
to come back again,
and play with my heart

But amidst all the
games and tricks you play,
this love, 
I have for you,
grows with each passing 
day and every incoming night.

Love me wise.
Love me tender.

For my moon,
You and I 
are connected.

Like A Fearless Bird, I Will Fly

It was a long, deep slumber.

Like I told you before,
let me sleep for however long I wish. 
Don't call out to me.
Don't be worried.
Let me hold the pain in me.
Let it settle deep in my skin.
Whispering in your ears
to leave me high,I told you,
for when I wake up
I'll let you see,the stronger me. 
And now you see me
replacing the pain with love.
Holding my head high,
and smiling at the new sky.
I wanted to be asleep for a while.
My ribs were the cage
meant to be broken, 
for my heart had to be set free.
To feel the trickle of one love
that was never meant to be.
To burn myself to ashes,
only then I knew I could rise,
from being nothing to
all that I really wanted to be.
And so today
I rise, again, 
to never look back 
and never let them break, 
my soul and beliefs. 
New hope is here. 
Look,
It's a new dawn.
It's a new bird 
I see it soaring high
And now I know, it's no one else 
But I.
I, who would last when the apocalypse strikes, 
For my deep slumber woke me up to see who I really was, 
Fearless, 
is who I am and will be.
