Real Unreal Cosmos | Saurabh Gupta | Book Review
Real Unreal Cosmos is not fantastical. It does not play with imaginary ideas. It opens up the facts behind some myths and the logic behind certain kinds of reasoning to drive home the point that humans are not as powerful and as ever-lasting, as they think themselves to be.
This makes the reading experience thoroughly humbling and deeply informative. The book has a seamless mix of science, philosophy, myth, and logical reasoning.

The Naani Diaries | Riva Razdan | Book Review
I love drama, and what better way to serve drama than an entertaining, contemporary, and light-hearted story that revolves around three generations of Indian women? If this doesn’t get you curious enough, then there is also lots of ambition, a sad heartbreak, a heart-warming love story straight from the 1960s, an impromptu relocation to Bombay, and a dangerously sexy young man Zain Rajan. Now that I am sure that I have your attention, let me present to you Riva Razdan’s The Naani Diaries, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed and I am sure you would too.
