Book Review: The Secret Wishlist by Preeti Shenoy

 

 

Is it true that true love really still exist or is it just a cliche? Can a single kiss really change your life? 

The book unfolds the hidden secrets of Diksha, when she was at sixteen. Like any other girl of her age, Disha, finds her life revolving around school, boys and endless hours of fun with her best friend. However, all this changed one day, which put her to misery for the major part of her life.The novel starts with the present-day Diksha, who is 34 years old, the protagonist of the story. The book revolves around the character and with flashbacks she starts to tell her tale when she was around sixteen.

It starts with an innocent crush explodes into something far beyond her control. And, now after eighteen year, she finds herself at the crossroads of life. Urged by a twist of events, she makes a wish list. But, do you think this wishlist can help her getting her life back? Will she fall into the place to commit illegitimate things for the sake of her wish list? Or will she be thrown into the life of misery forever? Find out the answers by reading the novel by Preeti Shenoy, who has once again brought out an extraordinary story that tugs at the heartstrings, with insight and astuteness, as she explores the frail and fragile matters of the heart.The Secret Wish List is an enchanting, interesting, a racy tale about following your heart, hounding your dreams and the valuing the friendship in your life. 

 

My Take:

I personally like Preeti’s work for the fact that she is a great storyteller. She has a potential to create a magical story out of a mediocre plot and to some extent she has proved it. The plot itself is not much to talk about; as it is another emotionally inclined story of an abused housewife whose married life takes a toll on her and finally one fine day she stands up for herself and break the shackles that tied her, which breaks her free from stifling marriage. The first half of the novel seems to be repetitive and looks like it is just another emotional story like other books.

 

However, the second half of the novel that picks up broken pieces of the plot and delivers a collision. Preeti’s easy and straightforward narration along with her consideration to little details create a graphic representation. The characters are well-etched out and again and has delivered minute details about the behavior of the character, which has been carefully thought of. For example: In the initial pages of the book when Diksha joins a Bharatanatyam class, even though she wants to learn Bollywood dancing, yields to her mother’s decision. The character of Diksha has been shown as subservient and submissive. This detailed attention to the characters is the signature of Preeti’s writing style.

The novel is written in a flowing manner with simple and easy language, except for a few editing glitches that does mar the book otherwise.

 

A warm, heart-touching anecdote about a woman who tries to break free from her abusive husband and find her own calling. The novel is an enjoyable read! The book is available at lelobooks, an online bookstore in India.

Read this book? Now, what are you waiting for? Go and write down your wish list, you never know, how it can change your life.

Steering the Dating World: Ladies Please! Dating Truths by a Man by Jose Covaco

Ladies Please! Dating Truths by a Man, penned by MTV’s VJ Jose Covaco is a self help book tended for the broken hearted as well as people struggling in the dating world. As you will flip the pages of this book, you will discover

The book starts off with a detailed description of the author’s various failed relationships and further it will tell you about the various stereotypes of dating in India and how it is different from western countries. The author then gives us a horrendously long guidebook of do’s and don’ts of dating.

However, I am sure that the book might help some people with the whole dating game as Jose has tried his level best to provide females a glimpse of what’s going on inside the mind of a man. I personally find it very boring. It feels like you are reading an instruction manual of what to do and what not to to bag a date.

Then, while you will flip the pages you will discover that there is a lot of repetition of content and the book could easily have been written with less pages and with repetition it has left me perplexed me at various moments. There is not much for learning about women in this book, as the author says women are mysterious (which I think every individual is, be it a female or a ,male). The writing style could have been better. The book is humorous and also contains sarcastic remarks, but sometimes it seemed to get a bit wily and desiccated Besides all this, you can see that Covaco has put in a lot of effort into this book and has done a commendable job.

If you are one of those, who is trying a lot to find a date, but is left in vain, then just go for it, never know if it works for you. To get more reviews, stay tuned with Lelobooks, an online bookstore in India!

Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy

Directed by James Gunn, “Guardians of the Galaxy” is an action movie. With the duration of about 121 minutes and has came from the studio that brought up avengers and ironman3.

The movie is about the uncertainty of the future of the galaxy, whose present is pleasant. Like the movie’s star, its director was an audacious choice for a mega budget-space opera, and a smart one; his movie making style is rich in oddity,his most prominent feature until now was the horror comedy “Slither.” Mr. Gunn gives this production a free-swinging style. The whole story revolves around to save the orb from wrongful hand A bounty hunter finds himself pursued by powerful enemies after the former theft an uncertain future of the galaxy. Realizing that the orb can be disastrous in the wrong hands, he made a team with four other dodgy individuals, all united by a common cause – to keep the orb (and what it contains) from the wrong hands.

The people who made this movie must have had a bad time in the process, and it’s nice to see a summer epic that takes itself so non-seriously. Eventually the wink-and-nod whimsicality wears thin, and you Imagine how this errant gang is going to keep its antics fresh in subsequent episodes. For now, though, Marvel has maintained its standards in the action department—cluttered or not, the screen is alive with marvelous images—and has won a crucial gamble on its star. Peter is not only a good man playing outlaw; he is, as played by Mr. Pratt, a good nature guy and an exemplary pleasant American hero. “I couldn’t let you die,” he spoke to  Gamora after curing her life. “I found something inside myself incredibly heroic—not to brag.” The disclaimer isn’t needed. We get that Peter enjoys himself, so we’re up for enjoying him.
