'Books are a uniquely portable magic.'-Stephen King.I'm a staunch believer of the above quote and it's with great pleasure that I publish my first ever work which will solely contain book reviews! I'm something of an amateur critic myself, when it comes to films and writing. For each review, I'll be reading the first five chapters of the book, and critiquing it, thereafter.Note: This book isn't meant to bash or target anyone personally. I will just try to give my opinion in the most honest and tactful way possible. Also, when I use 'you' or 'your' in the review, I'm definitely referring to the writer of the story.Last but not least, my reviews won't contain any numerical ratings. I find the practice reductive.[Temporarily closed for requests]…

Nandini Murthy. They say that's me. According to them, I think abnormally. Paranoid and deluded-they call me. In layman's terms, they think I'm crazy.Tying me up is for my own good-they say.Will be safe in here-I pray. They say that I'll get out some day.They say a lot, don't they?Trouble is, I hear voices. Voices giving me choicesVoices telling me to run away. To not trust them, in any way.Placing me on the horns of a dilemma. Deciphering it all takes away my stamina.Memories are blank, only one name persists.Have to find out if HE really exists.Note: This story will have a stream of consciousness type narration which means that it'll convey the protagonist's unfiltered thoughts and have a lyrical quality to them. Just trying out a new technique! Hope you guys like it!…

Hi guys!I've been a big fan of 'Kaisi Yeh Yaariaan' and 'Manan' ever since i started watching it on Voot last year.I loved the first season ,but like most other fans I was highly disappointed with the dissatisfying conclusion of the show in season 2.So you can imagine my delight when a third season of the show was announced! I was literally in seventh heaven along with the rest of the fandom!Although season 3 was a finite web series, it lived up to its hype and gave us some beautiful 'Manan' moments. I know that the entire KYY fandom(and me of course) has been missing the show terribly ever since it aired its season finale on 7th June,2018.In this book,I'll be reviewing the episodes of the third season.Hopefully,you guys can get a fresh perspective on the season as you read the reviews!P.S:If i criticise any aspect of the show,i don't mean to hurt the sentiments of any fan who may have a different opinion about the same.Also,I wrote these reviews immediately after the episodes aired,so they have very few spoilers!…
