** Thanks to the author for sharing a review copy of the book.**

** Thanks to our reviewer Swapna Peri for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **

Book Title: The Humane Quest - Vol. II
Author: Mehak Gupta Grover
Format: Paperback

Book Title:
The title of the book ' The Humane Quest ' is oozing with virtues and goodwill.

Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is a serene picture of a still water body against land and nature. The same image can be found for the book's volume 1 also.

Inside the book:
The book is divided into 21 chapters where each chapter is a gateway for a better living with respect to mental and physical life. Of late in the quest of money, quick fame and a better lifestyle we humans are forgetting and ignoring our basic responsibilities as human and evolved beings of the universe in personal and social lives. In this book with each chapter, the author has tried to implant such values.

What I like:
1. When it comes to living life with a clear conscience, the qualities one has to inculcate in himself are important. Along with them, other factors which are a matter of concern if are taken into full consideration, a person's life feels complete and satisfying. Such values are explained in the book.
2. Simple yet effective language with lucid writing makes the reader comfortable in understanding the author's intentions.
3. Innate virtues are sometime's superseded by false virtues that which can be reconciled by following some well-versed teachers and gurus. In the end of each chapter, the author has added sayings of great people like Sri Sri Ravishankar, Sadhguru, Einstein, Modiji, etc.

What I didn't like:
There are absolutely no flaws in the book.

Narration:
A very clear narration of certain aspects like nature. mother, anger, the advent of machines over human lives, etc are explained very well.

Language & Grammar:
Simple and easy language is found in the book.

My Final Verdict:
Read, understand and evolve yourselves.

Book Title: 5/5
Book Cover: 5/5
Plot: 5/5
Characters: 5/5
Narration: 5/5
Language & Grammar: 5/5
Final Rating: 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

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

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

#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
