YESTERDAY'S GHOST BY NIKHIL PRADHAN

 There is this group of four people, part of the army team called the Black Team who took part in a secret mission in Sri Lanka thirty years back. They were then forced to retreat from the armed forces and each move in a sepertae path to lead their lives. One day, they receive a code message related only to the event that shook their life thirty years back and their nightmares come true.

If you are a sucker for Paranormal reads, this one is your plate of pie. In fact, I was sort of scared to sleep the night I read this book. It will definitely give you that vibe because of the setting, the mysterious character called Black Knight and the chain of events that would relate to creepy & ghostly stuffs.

Now, moving apart from the gothic feeling, I felt that the book was confusing at some points like...I could not follow the writing very clearly and I also feel some questions are unanswered though I could not tell what the questions were. It was kind of cloudy is what I am trying to say if you get me.

The style of narration is a mix up of prose and dialects and so a big tick mark for that because you would not feel bored in between. The best thing for me about this book is the entire concept. The idea of bringing in horror into action zone and connecting it with mental health, guilt and lots of other stuffs was wonderful. On the whole, it was a good read.

TURN THE TABLES BY PRIYA KUMAR First of all it was quite a different experience for me to read self help kind of book. But it was entirely not like how I have made an assumption about it. It was a good experience. There was no overflowing emotions that I find difficult to control while reading something fictional, although I love them. This was a very relaxed read for me. I read slowly, grasping every single sentence in it. And truely it was so inspirational. If you feel down or lack that quick pint of boost that is required at times to stay on track I will surely recommend this book. It was not entirely throwing mere motivational statements but was thought provoking with real time incidents described. This way I found it more engaging than I have expected it to be. The best part that I completely loved about this book is the set of questions that follow every chapter. It helped me greatly to relate the stuffs and to know myself deeper. I came to know new perspectives on vari...
