Piano and Flowers – Alexander McCall Smith – #Minireview
I would like to thank Net galley for providing me with a copy of this book for review. I have friends who are great Alexander McCall Smith fans, who have been urging me to give him a try, but I have been a sceptic forever. I picked up this book because it is a collection of short stories and that is a genre that I … Continue reading Piano and Flowers – Alexander McCall Smith – #Minireview
An Era of Darkness – The British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor #essay #guestpost
by ABHINAV SINGH JASWAL In 2017, YouTube’s recommendation algorithm ordained that I must watch a debate held in Oxford in 2015 on the topic of whether Britain owed reparations to its former colonies. So, of course, being a history buff, I obliged and watched in fascination as Shashi Tharoor, MP (INC), spoke about the tragedies inflicted by the British Raj in India. He demonstrated through … Continue reading An Era of Darkness – The British Empire in India by Shashi Tharoor #essay #guestpost

Wake, Siren – Nina MacLaughlin #Bookreview
This book was requested from NetGalley and FSG originals in exchange of an honest review Hmmm. How can I put it without hurting any sentiments? To be completely honest, I did not like these stories. These were supposed to be an introduction to Ovid, but for someone who has never before read or even heard of Ovid, this may not be the best place to … Continue reading Wake, Siren – Nina MacLaughlin #Bookreview

All That’s Bright and Gone – Eliza Nellums #BookReview
Genre : YA Book Cover : 1 * Rating : 3.5 **** I am hard-put to explain this book in one line. At a pinch, I would say that it moves along the lines of ‘The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night Time’. The protagonist here is younger and not hampered by any difficulties in her understanding of the people around her except … Continue reading All That’s Bright and Gone – Eliza Nellums #BookReview
