#Literoma Book Review - 'Wish You Could' by Dr. Manishaa Yadava

Thanks to our reviewer Ryan Sikka for reviewing the book on behalf of #Literoma.


Book Title: Wish You Could

Author: Dr. Manishaa Yadava

Format: Paperback & Kindle


Book Title:

The title of the book ' Wish You Could ' is very exciting and adorable.


Book Cover:

The abstract cover of the book is very eye catching and meaningful.


About the Author:

Dr. Manishaa Yadava is a writer, poetess, Reiki healer, Angel card healer, Dowser, meditator, motivational speaker and volunteer associated with the Art of Living organization. She runs her own healing forum named Karma Healing Ray.


About the book:

“Wish You Could” is a collection of 35 Hindi to English translated poems. The thoughts revolve around women centricity and her social stature in today's world.


My review:

The poems are very soulful and touches almost all aspects of our nav ras. Some of my personal favourites are those which talks about Krishna's eternal love bonds. The best is being the translation quality. Many poems are very Indianized, full of Indian sentiments and concepts which get equally reflected in the translated version too. There lies the success of the translator too. Well done will be too less to say.


Overall, it is a wonderful read for poetry lovers. I would not like to rate anything less than 5*/5* for the overall efforts.

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

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Psychology of Money’ by Dr. Rakhi Sameer

 ** Thanks to our reviewer Sananda for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** Genre: Non fiction Language: English No of pages: 100 approx Theme: Self-help Format: Paperback Dr. Rakhi Sameer has done a splendid job relating money with human psychology. Being a student of psychology, I vet for her logical inter-relations drawn in this book. Money is something which everyone in this world needs and it is extremely critical to know how to handle it. In second chapter she has also defined different types of human 'personality' related to accumulated wealth.  At one place she says, "A pattern can be seen in our relationship with money. If we ascertain the money pattern of our personality, we can have a healthier relationship with money. We need to first find out our present equation with money. We also need to find out how we got there. We will have to explore the history of our family. Explore stories about our parents and sometimes, our grandparents as well. Exploring o
