Book Review : The Last Attractor of Chaos by Abhinav Singh

By Murtaza Kuwarawala -
So this has been a pretty long pending book review. A few months back, Abhinav (the author of the book) asked me to review his piece of work and he promised me that it won't be disappointing. He had shared the manuscripts as well as sent me the final copy of the book. Though I had finished the book quite a long time back, I kept procrastinating the review but I had finally decided to do it. Did the author stick on his promise of a book that won't disappoint? Read it further to know.

Blurb :

Trying to protect his pregnant wife, scientist Ashwin Rathore gets killed – unexpectedly and unwantedly. A deadly force lurks in the murk that wants her too, but why? Is it because she works for and with the military and Intelligence teams in the country, or is it because she knows something that no one else does?

My Take on the Book :

Being disappointed with a lot of Indian author books these days, this book comes as a breathe of fresh air. The author takes on a pretty simple plot but his writing and the command over the plot is pretty good and hence one would surely keep asking for more. The story though based on the present day situation, has a subtle hint of supernatural elements which is further tackled with elements of physics and this is the reason the book scores pretty high in a lot of aspect.

I, unfortunately have just one complaint with this book but this is purely on the personal level and not with regards to how the story goes. I just wished that the author had used a bit more frequent jumps between the past and the future rather than handling just one at a time in a stretch, but as I said earlier, it was purely on a personal basis.

So, would I recommend this book. Ofcourse, yes. It took me two sleepless nights to complete the book as I kept turning over pages just to know what would happen next. A brilliant work by a debutant author that should not go unnoticed and I would recommend it to every person reading this review to get your hands on it. Also, the cliffhanger at the end is making me wait for the next book in line. I hope it comes out soon.

My Ratings : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 out of 5 (A Perfect 5 as it is a brilliant attempt by a debut author)

Book in Three Words : Fresh. Gripping. Solid.

Book Review : From Quetta to Delhi - A Partition Story by Reema Nanda

By Murtaza Kuwarawala -

Never Judge a book by its cover nor by the name it possesses. The same case happened with me when I read the title of the name 'From Quetta to Delhi'. To be honest, I didn't take any pains to read the blurb because a story on partition is something I always wanted to read an action packed story on Partition. Sadly, the book wasn't what I had expected. So, what was the book about? What did made me read the book? Read further to know about it. Blurb: The invisible cost of the Partition of the Punjab in 1947 - besides the violence, loss of life and property - was that it destroyed the psychic equilibrium of the displaced population. This is the story of one such woman, Shakunt, who rebuilt her life but could never get over the trauma of losing her homes in Quetta and Jhang - not just the loss of a physical space but of the language, culture and ethos that it had embodied. A syncretic culture of multilingualism - Urdu, Persian and Punjabi - and of multiple identities o...

Travel : Trip of a Lifetime - II

The cruise.... Too excited to go on a cruise, we three musketeers reached the spot 4 hours before the departure time. Unfortunately, even the cruise was late that  night. Whatever might be the case, it was worth the wait. It was the first time in our life, we had dined, partied and slept (of course individually) on a ship. 24 hours later, we were heading towards the train station to our very next destination, “The Eternal City”, Rome. Roaming in Rome... Adventures started as soon as we reach Rome. We forgot to validate our ticket and were dead scared that we might get caught by the officials. Getting down at the railway station, we helped an old lady who was struggling to come out of the train. It took us 2 hours to reach our hotel even though we were roaming on the same street and finally arriving at a disastrous room. I regret not checking the reviews for this one. Of all the places, Rome turned out to be the cheapest and our little stint at Rome and Vatican took ...

Thoughts : Love Thy Neighbour

Ahhhh... Love Thy Neighbor .. Years back when I was doing my schooling, an extract of the classic novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was taught to us in our English Literature class. The extract was aptly titled "Love thy Neighbor  as it portrayed the way how Uncle Tom, the central character, lived his life spreading love everywhere. So, why am I talking about this subject right now? I believe that today technology has crippled us so much that we have forgotten what it means to be with real people than being virtual. In fact, the same even applies to me as I was unaware of my juniors living in the adjacent room of mine. A few weeks back, when I was returning back via Bangalore airport, I took some time to notice people around me. People were busy with themselves either working on their laptops or talking on phone, but there was this one small incident that caught my eye. A family of 3, father, mother and their son who must be of around 6 or 7, dining together. I...
