THE KRISHNA KEY

11:15 | Labels:



Blurb of the book :

Five thousand years ago, there came to earth a magical being called Krishna, who brought about innumerable miracles for the good of mankind. Humanity despaired of its fate if the Blue God were to die but was reassured that he would return in a fresh avatar when needed in the eventual dark age- the Kaliyug. In modern times, a poor little rich boy grows up believing that he is that final avatar and kills everybody who comes in his way to reach his destiny in the same manner by which Krishna (The 8th avatar of Vishnu) was killed by a hunter 5000 years ago.

The main aim of this avatar is to follow the order of his master whom he used to call ‘mataji’ and find four seals followed by a ceramic basement plate which manifests the existence of Krishna. 
My Review:

The Krishna Key, Ashwini Sanghi’s third novel, is based on ancient secrets of Vedic age and the Mahabharata. There are several characters in this novel still I would say the main protagonist is ‘Ravi Mohan Saini’, who is a professor of History. The story starts with the thrilling murder of Saini's best friend Anil Varshney by an anonymous killer and the police found Saini culpable. To prove his innocence he started to find the reason of his friend’s death.

The facts that the author had written or co-related shows years of research on these areas and for this I salute to the author. The hideous things about Taj Mahal, Somnath temple, the holy numbers like 108 and 786 made me feel like I don’t know much about our Indian history.

Thumbs Up:
The best part of this novel which I adore the most is the division of each chapter into two parts, 1st first part is the Mahabharata story and the 2nd part is a thriller cum fiction story. The anagrams like “Tarak Vakil to Kalki Avatar”, “SirKhan to Krishna” that the writer had composed is really commendable. The end of each chapter did act as a page turner.

Thumbs Down:
The exaggerate description about the ship called Radha. At the end of the novel the four seals and the ceramic plate have lost their significance and the climax couldn't hold the pace.

I will give this thriller cum fiction novel 4 out of 5 stars. :) :)

Kung Fu Panda Movie Review

09:54 | Labels:



Rating: 4.5/5 stars (four and half stars)

What's Good:

From the name of the movie one can easily guess that the stunts perform in this movie in Kung Fu style. The lead character in this movie is a Fat Panda who unexpectedly becomes a Dragon Warrior .There are also furious five warriors who have different and interesting roles. You will get to know them when you watch the movie. A freegan and perplexed panda whose main thing in life is food eventually eligible to fight with another Dragon Worrier.

You can say this movie is the cartoon version of a Jackie Chan's movie. This movie is the amalgamation of comedy, stunts, graphics, dialogue and many things. Smile will come to your face when you will see rabbits in female dress. The Panda character is a perfect combination of all emotions and has tremendous expressions. Especially girls you will get to see a tiger having six packs.


There are many punch lines like “A real worrier never quit”, “You don't belongs to here.”
This film will make you feel your inner ability and will rise your self confidence that you can do anything if you have the guts to do it.

You can't even take a loo break. I bet you don't want to move from your seats.

What's Bad:

First ten minutes

Watch or Not:

This movie is a perfect one to watch with your family specially with your children. If you were thinking to spend some time with your children then take them to the nearest theater, this movie will delight them in all possible way.

Thank You For reading my Review... :)

New Hope- Our Little Help Will Give Them Million Hopes

10:09 | Labels:


At Adruta Ashram



Being the best miracle of God still some of us are not able to enjoy their life to the fullest. It’s not because they don’t want to enjoy but because they don’t have anyone to enjoy with. People say they are doomed, but are they really ill-fated?? The straight answer is No, because we can’t blame someone for his/her fate. Instead of commenting on them we should do something for them. 

From a recent statistics, it has been stated as nearly 20 million orphans are there in India. After reading this article one think stroked my mind and that is “being a civilized person what i am doing for them?” you may have the same question in your mind. Well, here is the answer “New Hope”. It’s a NGO which has been opened or initiated by “Amarjeet Mohanty, Bhimsen Sahoo, Somanath Chinara, Durgaprasad Subudhi , Anasuya Sahu Sharma”. 

 These people had started their journey from an Orphanage named as “Adruta Ashram, Puri” on the occasion of Friendship Day and celebrated this day with them by giving gifts and also tied friendship bands. For this they had also been praised by the local newspaper and now this NGO have more than 70 members including me.  
  
Members Of this NGO at Adruta Ashram

The main Motto of this organization is to help these children as far as possible. It’s the time friends to take some valuable steps to help them and make them believe that we are there with them at every up and downs of their life. We have to be their puissance. They should not feel like left out, so we have to do something reasonable.

Till The Last Breath By Durjoy Dutta

10:14 | Labels:




Blurb Of The Book:

The story revolves around five protagonist named as Arman Kashyap, Pihu Malhotra, Zarah Mirza, Dushyant Roy, Kajal Khurana. Pihu and Dushyant both are admitted in a Renowned Hospital in which Arman is an ALS specialist and Zarah is an intern. Pihu is a brilliant 19 year old medical student, suffering from an incurable, fatal disease hurtling towards a slow, painful death. She counts every extra breath as a blessing. The other is a wasteful 25 year old drug addict whose every organ system is slowly shutting down. He can’t wait to get rid of his body- to him, the sooner the better.

Two reputed doctors, fighting their own demons from the past, try everything to keep these two patients alive, even putting their medical licenses at risk.

So, can both the doctors save their respective patients life or like Romeo-Juliet two more love stories will die and become history???

My views about this book:

After reading I too had a love story by Ravinder Singh, I wanted to read another novel of same kind. So after hearing a lot from others I decided to read this one.

One reason for which I like this book is because the author had created two love stories simultaneously, one is a simple love story and the other one is a love triangle. I love the way author had portrayed each characters. Especially I like Pihu’s character very much. She has got a very inspiring character. The line which I like the most is “Days are not important, years are. Years are not important, experiences are. Experiences are not important, lives are.” 

The first few chapters didn't connect me well but I wanted to read the whole book only to know Durjoy Dutta’s writing and honestly saying after few chapters it didn't disappoint me. While reading last few chapters, I had Goosebumps on my flesh.  The climax is really a convincing one.

I would like to give 4 out of 5 stars to this novel which made me sob at some points.

11:28 | Labels:





Though I had made this item previously but this time I had decided to give this a name as “Paneer Mammamia”. This dish is full of flavors. Cooking time is maximum 25 minutes.

Ingredients :-

1:   Paneer 200 gm
2:   Turmeric Powder (Haldi)
3:   Yogurt (Dahi)
4:   Red chilies
5:   Coriander seeds (Dhania)
6:   Fenugreek seeds (Methi)
7:   Black pepper
8:   fennel seeds
9:   Black pepper
10: Salt
11: Cashew nuts
12: Onion
13: Green Bell pepper (Capsicum)

Cooking Procedure:

1: Take a bowl, add Paneer, 3 Full spoons of Yogurt, Haldi powder, salt, mix them and keep it aside.

2: Heat a frying pan with medium heat, add finely chopped onion,bell pepper and salt followed by 2 spoons of oil and stir till it becomes slightly darker, then add tomato sauce and keep it aside in a different bowl.

3: In the same pan roast Fennel seeds, coriander seeds, Fenugreek seeds and Black pepper till seeds become darker, then remove them to a paper and crush it by a rolling pin.

4: Heat the frying pan with low heat and then add 5/6 full spoons of oil and then stir fry the paneer mixture till it becomes light red (Don’t overcook it as paneer will become dry).

5: Then add the crushed spices to it and mix well followed by adding onion and bell pepper mixture.

6: Add roasted cashew nuts and fried red chilies for garnishing.

I had made this dish and got a lot of complements but I did a mistake by heating the pan with high flame and the paneer mixture becomes dark, so take care of flame.

Enjoy with friends and family…

My review:

The Unwanted Shadow is the second novel of Bhaskaryya Dekka. As a fresh writer he did justice with his book. After reading a good review about this book I had placed an order for this book and completed it in one go. 

 The kind of words he used and scenarios that he created is really convincing.The narration style is simple but effective to hold the readers. You will start clapping automatically after reading the climax . This book defines the word "Patience" very distinctly and reminds me of the movie named “shawshank redemption”.

I would give 4.5 out of 5 stars to this amazing novel.
