Book Review: A drop of You by Krishna Chhetri


About the Book
We become overtly colourless when our hearts aren't together; only when a soul finds its body, they sing and dance together to the colours of life.
Three closely knit people, Karma, Diana & Ghazal meet at the crossroads of life, unaware of the cosmic conspiracy and its comical destiny. Heart is their road, love is their journey and the soul, the final destination. Sailing on the tides of emotions, they encounter deceit, with a tinge of poison and drop of bliss.
 Forever love; it is a myth? Or a reality? Is it stifling pain or undying love, that makes love eternal? Come, let us explore!

My Take on the book
For someone who loves poetry, this book is a refreshing read. A drop of you is the debut book by Krishna Chhetri, the book narrates the story of three friends, Karma, Diana, and Ghazal, who are caught in a love triangle situation. This is a tale of love,  friendship, destiny, and heartbreak.  Like every love triangle, three friends find themselves in a situation they can't avoid…. Diana and Karma are childhood friends, and later Ghazel enters their life and it takes a complicated turn. Diana loves Karma, Karma loves Ghazal, and so on.
Karma, the male protagonist falls in love with Ghazal at first sight and tries to make her fall for him with his romantic poems. Diana, on the other hand, is waiting for a time to confess her love to him. However, in the midst of the situation, a slight misunderstanding changes everything. 
One interesting thing about this book is, it is written in a unique mixture of poetry and prose format where readers are introduced to poetry followed by the story in each chapter. The author has penned down the poetry in the most philosophical way, and since I love poetry book, it was indeed a pleasurable read for me. However, towards the middle chapters, I found the story a little stretched and monotonous. 
if you are into cheesy, romantic read, then this book is just right for you.
You may pick this book if you are looking for a romantic/light read. 
Overall, apart from the typical love triangle plot line, I thoroughly enjoyed the poems, and some of them were really well versed and beautifully written.
Pick up a copy today to find out the story of three different people caught up in a similar situation. Will Karma win his love over his lady love? How will Ghazal react to this change? Will Diana accept her fate? Find out in the book.

Book Review: I’ve Never Been (Un)Happier by Shaheen Bhatt

About the book Lights, Camera . . . Inaction Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt’s older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint—until now. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head. Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals the daily experiences and debilitating big picture of one of the most critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century. Equal parts conundrum and enlightenment, Shaheen takes us through the personal pendulum of understanding and living with depression in her privileged circumstances. With honesty and a profound self-awareness, Shaheen lays claim to her sadness, finding it a home in the universal fabric of the human condition. In this multi-dimensional, philosophical tell-all, Shaheen acknowledges, accepts and overcomes the peculiarities of this way of being alive...

Book Review: Love in the Time of Quarantine by Siddhartha Gigoo

  About the Book On Sunday, March the 22nd 2020, When India decided To lock herself down And send us—  Her 1.3 billion ungrateful, undeserving,  Yet beloved children— Into self-isolation To protect us From the deadly infection Of a bat-born,  Spikey ball-shaped, Gorgeous-looking Infinitesimal virus With a name  Befitting a royal, I set out to do  What all castle-builders and nighthawks do  On bright and lonesome  Sundays  That have nothing  Except dreams of hope  And fantasies of freedom  To offer.
