Book Review: Yours Legally by Sonia Sahijwani

About the Book
A young girl Sia has recently finished her graduation in Law against her parent’s wishes. With absolutely no family background in the legal profession, she sets out to explore the various opportunities this not so common but upcoming field of law brings her way. Written in the form of short stories and inspired by some true events, the author, through the protagonist Sia, narrates to us few such unusual and memorable incidents including some eccentric courtroom dramas, all of which left a deep impact in her life. This debut book one is an honest attempt to talk about the law with a dash of satire, with an aim to reach out to all those who may or may have never heard anything about the legal profession nor would have ever stepped inside a court. And for those who are a part of it already, they might relate to it in some way. Just read along and enjoy the short but bumpy ride…..

My Take on the Book
The title of the book caught my attention. ‘Yours Legally’ by author Sonia Sahijwani is a collection of short stories that highlight the common theme of law and courthouse. The protagonist of the novel, Sia has recently finished her graduation in law against her parent's wishes. Despite with no absolute family background in the legal profession, she goes her away to explore the various opportunities in her upcoming field of law. The book is categorized in 6 different chapters and each clearly explains more about legal matters as well as events that are inspired from a  courtroom.
Without showing any biased in the field of law, the book throws lights on the positive and negative side of a court and laws. The book is a simple read and anyone can read it without having the knowledge of the legal systems. The chapters of the books are divided as follows:
The book starts with a chapter named, 99 Vs निन्यानबे: in this chapter, it highlights on ‘The Complainant element, and it talks on "Equity follows the same" topic.
 The 2nd chapter is about, ‘The Kid on the last bench’ which deals with
 the court element. "The Practice of court is the law of court".
 The 3rd chapter narrates ‘The Wait for Item No. 25.' Here in this chapter, it talks about the case element. "The law cannot fail in dispensing justice".
Followed by the 4th chapter, which is about ‘behind those dark shades, and here it focuses on ‘The Counsel Element. "The law speaks to all with one mouth". 
The 5th chapter is aptly named as ‘Jail No. 5. Here, it discusses ‘The Confinement Element.' "That punishment may come to a few, the fear of it should affect all".
The last and the final chapter is named as Qaidi No. 90, in this chapter, the author talks about criminal element. "The Crime Carries the person".
Each chapter is intriguing and gripping in its own ways. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and I bet people who enjoys law and legal subjects will love it too. Get your copy to explore the different  side of the courtroom in the mind gobbling book, Legally yours by author Sonia Sahijwani.

Book Review: Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven by Danielle Orsino

About the Book What would you do if all you knew had abandoned you? Abandoned by their creator, two factions of angels remain on earth after the Great War with Lucifer. These Virtues and Power Angels struggle to comprehend their Creator’s plan while their wings, a symbol of their angelic lineage, slowly and painfully decay. Unaware of one another, the angels learn to survive and reinvent themselves. With no hope of returning to the Shining Kingdom, both groups denounce their angelic lineage and develop into their own factions. They call themselves the “Fae.” This is their story. The Fae world is ruled by two distinct courts: the Court of Light, led by Queen Aurora, a former Virtue Angel, and the Court of Dark, ruled by King Jarvok, a former Power Brigade Angel. The two monarchs have opposing views on how to govern their kin and, more importantly, the way humanity plays into their survival. The one belief they agree on is human worship equals power. Exactly how the two go about capturin

Book Review: The L-word By Aastha Atray Banan

photo credit: Shethepeople Blurb In a world where a left swipe means you could be alone and sexless forever and taking a chance could mean you find ‘The One’, the question we often find ourselves asking is, what is love? When romance writer Aastha Atray Banan found herself getting asked questions about the daily struggles of love she decided to start a podcast, Love Aaj Kal, that dealt with everything about love and relationships. The L-Word is about modern love: from ghosting, polyamory, love in the times of social media to more every-day problems like dealing with heartbreak, infidelity and getting out of toxic relationships.

My Take On The Book The L Word- Love, Lust, and Everything In-Between , I guess the title is self-explanatory of what the book is about. This is the first book I read by the romance writer Aastha Atray Banan who found her

Reading in Quarantine- #Birthdaybloghop

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” – E.B. White With the Coronavirus crisis and most of the nation quarantined inside the comfort of their homes, I can presume all the bookworms silently rejoicing, not that the world is coming to a standstill (that would be rude), but because of the reason that we will have all the possible time in the world to be reading and ticking off our TBR lists (Not precisely though). At least we thought we will have all the possible time in the world to read and read till our eyes are sore, but guess that remind yet another excuse of, ‘maybe, I will start reading tomorrow.' And, one would probably be asking, ‘why read? when we have other things to keep ourselves engaged. There are so many other things to do and catch up with- for instance, binge-watching book adapted series, attending zoom calls, video calling old friends to ch
