Book Review - Sahi & Sudheer - a love story by author Yogita Warde



Feature book Review- Saahi & Sudheer by @author.yogitawarde

I picked up a romantic novel after a long time as I was mostly engrossed with sci-fi and historical fictions : ) .
When I read this book, it  brought a smile on my face due to its sweetness and simplicity. I loved how Saahi and Sudheer got connected since school days and gradually helped each other to bring out the best in each other’s lives. After all, isn’t love supposed to do exactly this.

Sometimes we realise the love only when we separate from the one whom we love immensely. The book highlights this so well.

The book also brings up the concept of soul mates. Call it karma or destiny, life always finds a way to bring soul mates together. 

This is a book with nuances of human emotions spread across the story line, which every person can relate to.

The story writing is simple, lucid and yet remarkably put across to bring in those moments of tears and joy. 

This is the author's debut book. She has already penned several books and more to come in future. The book is originally in Hindi and translated to English. The book is available on Amazon.

I wish all the best to Yogita and request her to keep sharing such stories.

Arrival of the Gods - A video book


Here is an altogether different mesmerizing #scifi thriller in the form of a #videobook. 
Video book is a relatively new concept after the advent of the #audiobooks that happened around a couple of decades back. 
My friend, author Adrien Hingert is launching his book 'Arrival of the Gods' as a video book. This is what he refers to as the fifth evolution in the history of book publishing. And what better to choose than scifi genre itself. As mentioned in his blog, its made with the help of a closely knit artists to provide breathtaking #visualizations with an audio narration.

Arrival of the Gods is a hard scifi set five years after #aliens find our planet #Earth. What looks like a peaceful event between the two #civilizations, is actually not. 

You can follow Adrien's work in his blog @arrivalofthegods 

He is launching the official trailor by Aug 1st.

Pushpak Vimana

The ten headed #Rakshasa (demon) #Ravana used his #Pushpaka #Vimana (The bird shaped flying machine) to traverse across the world. He stole it from his half brother Kubera, who was in turn gifted with this technological marvel by Vishwakarma, the architect of the Gods on the advise of Lord #Shiva. Were our great ancestors spiritually and technologically far more advanced? You will find reference of this in my story "The Last War" , a mythological science fiction story.

Lucky - A speculative fiction by a young writer


Featured book - Lucky by Roli Mohanka.

An amazing #speculative short fiction by a very young author, who is still in her schooling and studying.
I was amazed by the concept and imagination of Roli who wrote such a wonderful story through the eyes of a 'Man eating Lizard'. 

The story has a good mix of #sciencefiction and #fantasy and the author justifies the #speculative nature of the story.

The book is available on #Amazon @

The ancient magic and technology....

What if the descendants of the #Pandavas witnessed the same #ancient technology and magic that their great ancestors had witnessed during the time of the great #Mahabharata War?
Does war ever stop. Almost in every decade, era and epoch, we hear of a war in some part of the world. These wars are often fought for greed, for heroics, for power and for money. But the one fought to defend one's land and to stand for #righteousness in the society to maintain #peace is probably considered the most #virtuous act of all, referred to as #Dharma Yudh in our ancient Indian scriptures. The Last War & Other Stories is such a story based on mythological science fiction.

2nd edition is now available on:
