Book Review by #LITEROMA :: "Musings of a Romantic" by Dr. Shankar Kashyap

** 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. **

Genre: Poetry
Pages: 208
Format: Paperback & Kindle

Book Title:
The title of the book ' Musings of a Romantic ' is soothing and loving

Book Cover:
The cover image of the book is a picture that is inspired from a painting of a couple in love during the Mughal period in India and the title written in the format of Urdu being translated into English i.e. with the dots on the head of the letters gives a classic feel.

Inside the book:
Inside the book, a reader can find an ala carte of poems that vary from Sonnet to Ballad, from Limerick poems to traditional Japanese Haiku poems and so on.

My Review:
This is the third book that I have read from the author, and I have to admit that I have fallen into the trap of this magical words web. The aesthetics maintained and covered in the book happen to be the very best in the lot that I have read in recent times. His previous book ' Lady in red'  has impressed me so much that I started reading poetry books with a sense of dedication and conviction.

When it comes to poetry, though the lines in expressing the emotions. feelings and other values are less in number and words restricted, the amount of information and impression the poems give is imperial. Such a similar experience can be felt while reading this book.

Every poem in whichever format it is created has its own native flavor and essence of beauty. Not to miss to mention the author's favorite muse, the river Saraswati. When a person observes and reacts to the sensitive and intrinsic details of nature, the result will be definitely attractive and gorgeous.

With a clear and colloquial language, the author has created beautiful poems that can really invoke the hidden spots of ecstasy in a reader's mind. Looking forward to read more from the man who creates magic with his words.

Book Title: 5/5
Book Cover:5/5
Inside the book:5/5
My overall 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 sub...

#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...

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Seldom you find a book which touches a story and philosophy simultaneously with equal ease. ‘The Little Secrets to Big Joy’ by Alakananda Pramanik is one such rare example. Leading by examples, the author has showered her vivid experiences of life in the form of moral stories, inspirational quotations and poetic expressions in the said title.  Since the book is written in very simple language on contemporary topics, readers will tend to strike an immediate chord with the author. Every story comes with a great lesson, coupled with motivational words in between. At every page, the readers will be embarked on a modern retelling of human psychology.
