With all this, twisted and complicated stories on the run, simple yet sweet story would always be a breeze to the fiction lovers. Such is this story. In a nutshell, it is touching family based story embraces future, forgiveness and love with the tinges of politics and music.

Rukhsaar tells the tale of a woman from her love life to her old age. Rukhsaar, Protoganist from a well-affiliated family and Sameer An IAS Officer falls in love, get married. Post their marriage Sameer's life takes a little hard turns cause of friction between him and few politicians. Down the line, He loses his father-in-law. So he quits the job and starts music academy together with Rukhsaar. So to know about the climax of this story grab this one. That was the unexpected climax so far I know. No Spoilers.

This contemporary novel catches both good and flaws of quintessential of an Indian family and the social responsibility taken by the characters. It is quite impressive to say that the author has done a splendid job drafting the depths of the characters. His narrative style is vivid and lucid. Of course, the pacing of this book is too good that I didn’t get bored even for a minute. The silhouettes of an elegant woman trace in the cover is an absolute beauty which credits its theme. Overall, this book a complete treat for the light readers who loves constants.

My Rating: 4.5*/5*.

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sublime love of a daughter for her father afflicted by su

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

Image
Author: Rimli Bhattacharya Romance is a popular yet a very difficult genre to explore in literature and that's exactly where Rimli Bhattacharya has ventured into with a smashing record over the years. Her first book 'The Crosshairs of Life' received a warm welcome earlier. However, Rimli's recent release 'That Day It Rained' made it to the Literoma Bestsellers at Book Fair 2021 (Kolkata, New Town). Both of Rimli's story books are tied to the same string of dark romance and nuptial abuses on women. It seems Rimli has mastered the genre with her powerful nib.  Most of her storylines bring out tough dilemmas of women when she is subject to extreme social, psychological or physical assaults by her own family members and/or dear ones. 'Running a Solo Marathon' from her debut book narrates how difficult is the life of a single woman / mother, fighting against all odds of life. Similarly, the title story of her second book, 'That Day It Rained' port
