Book Review: Jim Ozy and the Perils of Algebra by Nathan Pratyksh Khanna

About the Book A writer travels to a faraway land to meet his hero. The journey takes him on a trail of suspense and adventure, across uncertain terrains. When the writer finally meets Jim, the subject of his proposed book, he is amazed in many ways, for Jim's tale is no ordinary one. It is closely intertwined with many complex situations and incredible characters, both good and evil. Within the larger tale unfolds many a story--stories of a mysterious cult, a serious combat for restitution of order and an eventual fortuitous disclosure. In a resplendent land that has seen no summer heat, where darkness lurks here and there, something strange has been fomenting for long.

Book Review: Yours Legally by Sonia Sahijwani

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.

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…..
