#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Ghazals: A Collection of Ghazals in English' by Dr. Shankar Kashyap

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Ghazals: A Collection of Ghazals in English' by Dr. Shankar Kashyap is a wonderful anthology of romantic verses served fresh in high quality English language. As we all know, Ghazals were originally created to spread the aroma of love by Urdu saints. Dr. Kashyap's poems are truly ghazals, capturing the best of its essence in all aspects. Author's strong emotions have made a beautiful way through his poetic words. We would like to wish the author, all the very best for his next book. Readers looking for poetic contents, would land up on the right plane.  Our overall rating: 4*/5*. All the Literoma reviews are available at our page:- https://literomagroup.blogspot.com/

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Yes Sir I killed My Mom !: The Mommy Killer’ by Anuj Tikku

  ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Yes Sir I killed My Mom !: The Mommy Killer’ by actor turned author Anuj Tikku brings an insight to the world of extramarital affairs and subsequent crimes in a high society. Well I am not going to discuss the plot as part of this review and act as a spoilsport but must say couple of things - Anuj does know how to grab a reader's attention. The disturbing cover and an equally catchy book title were the first two things which made me read his book again.   All the chapters are narrated with precise details. Starting from a hunky dory life of a high class family to the fall of characters and then the bloody climax - I mean just wow. Only spoiler in the entire reading journey is the poor editing quality. I guess we had mentioned this in our earlier reviews too. It, at times, seem that the raw manuscript itself has been published without any professional proofing. Author, if in a writing spree, may ...

#Literoma Book Review: Mehfil-e-Ghazal by Dr. Shankar Kashyap

#Literoma Book Review: Mehfil-e-Ghazal by Dr. Shankar Kashyap ** Thanks to our reviewer Satabdi for this amazing review on behalf of Literoma. ** Reading Mehfil-e-Ghazal is an experience in itself. You feel the full force of the author's emotions--love, compassion, and friendship--and cannot help but be swept away in the gushing waves. For those unfamiliar with the concept of the ghazal, the author has painstakingly provided a fascinating history of the poetic form. He calls it a "brief" history but I feel it is complete in that it enables the reader to appreciate the ghazal collection all the more. I did not know so much thought and effort went into composing a ghazal. Did you know ghazals are composed in English as well apart from the traditional languages of Persian, Urdu, and Arabic? Yes, historically ghazals have been composed in English as well although I feel they do not hold a candle to the Urdu creations because of the restraints of the language. Illustrated with...
