बंदिश.....

बंदिश.....



पिंजरे की केद से पंछी क्यों घबराता है.....

करता है प्यार मुझसे तो उड़ना क्यों चाहता है....

खोल दिया दरवाजा आज उड्जा नहीं तुझको आपना है.....

गर लौट कर आगया तो तुझ संग ही दिल लगाना है.....

...दीप ....

तमन्ना

तमन्ना



ज़िन्दगी तेरे ही संग बिताने की तमन्ना है...

आगोश मै आके सब भूल जाने की तमन्ना है...

तुझे दुनिया से चुराने की तमन्ना है...

दुनिया भुला की तुझे आपनाने की तमन्ना है ....



...दीप....

...तन्हाई...

...तन्हाई...




कट रहा था मेरी ज़िन्दगी का यह सफर तनहा..

इधर हम तनहा उधर तुम थे तनहा...

तन्हाई के बबासी हमे एक दूजे के करीब लेई..

आंसू पोंछ वादा किया होगे कभी न हम अब तनहा ...

अब तो रहना है तेरे आगोश में..

फिर न तुम तनहा न हम तनहा...


..दीप...

Kyu...

Kyu


kyu aksar aisa hota hai...ek ka gum durse ka marhaam hota hai...

kyu aisa aksar hota hai...jab ek aasoo bheta hei toh duje ka dil bhi rota hai...

kyu aisa aksar hota hai...dard se dard ke milte hi taar yahan..., toh dono ka dil toot ke rota hai...

kyu aisa aksar hota hai...yeh dard ka rishta dil se bhi ajeez hota hai

kyu aisa aksar hota hai...ek ka gum durse ka marhaam hota hai...

My Solitude

My Solitude


में तो एक ज़र्रा हु इस दुनिया की भीड़ में ..

एक बूँद प्यार की तलाश में ..

अंजानो का मेल ह पर आपना कोई भी नहीं इस दुनिया की भीड़ में ..

इस सेहेर्रा में तलाशते उस एक खलुष के जज़बेये को...

इस ज़र्रे को कोई जरा पहेचान तो ले इस दुनिया की भीड़ में ...

खालुसे इश्क मिलु तो आफ़ताब बनू इस दुनिया की भीड़ में...

एक नज़र तो ऐसे हो इस दुनिया की भीड़ में

...दीप...

Book Review—‘Arranged Love by Parul Mittal’


Book Review—‘Arranged Love by Parul Mittal’


Arranged Love by Parul Mittal


A very interesting and heart-seizing book with the tagline of Can it get more complicated ?…
This is a novel by Parul Mittal… This is a story about love, dreams, passion destiny and most importantly a girl’s prospect towards arranged marriage,till she finally is able to figure out a goal in her life

This is the story about Suhaani who is a painter by hobby and likes to enjoy her independent status in the US with her sexy Indian American boyfriend. Due to the sudden loss of her job she has to return back to India where her family has arranged a suitor Deepak, an  IIT guy for her. In the first place Suhaani hates IITian’s because of a bad experience  with an IIT guy in her past. When she saw Deepak’s picture forwarded by her father, she instantly started hating him. And took it is as a closed chapter. However, destiny had something else stored for her and she lost her job due to recession, and was forced to come back to India. And to complicate her life, she joins the same company, iTrot.com, where Deepak was working as her manager!


The story moves on with Suhaani and Deepak, Tanu – Suhaani’s cousin and her school friend Neha. The narration of the story is good. The conversation of two sisters and the conversation between Suhaani and Neha is something which is interesting and makes the reader glued   The way the story takes a turn after the intimacy between Deepak and Suhaani is well written and narrated.

Now my Positive viewpoints:

This is a novel by Parul Mittal … who has done a remarkable job and justification to this story.
Very well narrated and written, the climax has been portrayed well.

Suhaani’s mother’s addiction to farm Villa and the small little tiffs between her parents also add up to some humor in the story.
Some suggestive points:
Overall the story line is good indeed and very well expressed, but just as a suggestion too much of attention is given to the character of ‘Jay’.
Repetition of words too often in the same paragraph or on the same page leaves a poor impression
Explicit words denoting sexual objects need to be avoided if the book is meant for  family. Detailed description of the human anatomy in this case leaves a poor taste in the mouth.
A good writer with imagination will convey the meaning without offending anyone.
Final words:

Overall if asked I would say...this is a good job done by Author…( Parul Mittal )

Book Review – ‘Spicy Bites of Biryani: Because Life Needs a Little Masala.. By Ashwina Garg’


Book Review – ‘Spicy Bites of Biryani: Because Life Needs a Little Masala.. By Ashwina Garg’


Spicy Bites of Biryani: Because Life Needs a Little Masala...  By Ashwina Garg’

An amazing love story of an intellectual girl who loved to live her life to the fullest with no commmitments to it….. then destiny has something else stored for her….

This is the novel by Ashwina Garg… This is a story about love, relationships, dreams, passion, destiny and most importantly a girl’s (Aditi) prospect towards relationships, life partners and her views about marriage. She is sweet, adorable, bubbly, sensitive, protective, bold, hot crazy and dumb as well; on the other hand Sanjay is a US- returned software millionaire determined to have an arranged marriage with an Indian girl and settle down in India. He is cool, calm, quite and smart. This story revolves around the life and difficulties of the four main characters - Aditi, Sanjay, Jayshree and Mayank and their views about love, relationship, expectation and determination for each other. While reading this story reader feels like part of the story, as the perception, expectation, commitment that we give to our relations have been portrayed in it.

The story starts with Aditi and Sanjay; how they become friends, how they both feel the inclination for each other but are not ready to accept the fact. Subsequently how they both realise their love for each other. The story also revolves around Mayank and Jayshree’s relationship which make one think and realise about how things change after marriage. Both the aspects are shown, the good aspects and the rough ones as well, this may leave the unwed a little unnerved. The understanding, care, concern, commitment and complications that are faced by each couple during child birth are handled with dignity and grace. The overall marriage relationship has been portrayed very well.


Now my Positive viewpoints:
This is the debut novel by Ashwina Garg. He has done an awe-inspiring job and rationalisation to this story.

While reading this story at some places I felt as if Aditi is portraying my very own thoughts only, as every female faces same fears, have same expectations from life and her life partner and face same fights.

Aditi’s mental state and her dilemma has been expressed and written very well, when she has to decide to get into to relation with Sanjay. When she take her final call for her future with Sanjay

Sanjay’s mature & balance behavior his care and concern for Aditi is something which is every girl looks for in her partner.

Aditi & Sanjay’s exclusive moments together are a delight. Their small squabble and the chivalry shown by Sanjay is something to be idealised. The way Aditi & Sanjay spend time together at Sanjay’s home has been depicted very well.

The love, commitment, maturity& understanding between the two is idealistic. Aditi’s advice to Sanjay for work and his girlfriend is written very well.

As the destiny plays its role and the end takes an unexpected turn things work out differently. In order to know how and what happens in end one has to travel this journey with Sanjay & Aditi.  
Some suggestive points:
Overall story is superior indeed and very well written and expressed, but just as a suggestion some places story seems being stretched a bit, which can best be reduced.
Final words:

Overall if asked I would say...this is a superior job done by the Author - Ashwina Garg.

Now my Positive viewpoints:

This is a  novel by Sreelatha … who has done an remarkable job and justification to this story.
While reading this story at some places I felt as if my own thoughts have been interpreted by the author, as to some extend, every female has same desires, expectations in life and quite often faces same fights.

Indira’s mental state and her dilemma has been expressed and written very well, when she has to take a final decision about her life.

Srikant and Anshuman’s characters are also being  portrayed well , Srikant’s care and concern for Indira after he expresses his feeling to her, all are well explained.
Last but not the least to forget the feather in the writer’s cap is the poetry mentioned across the storyline.
Some suggestive points:
Overall story is good indeed and very well expressed, but just as a suggestion at few places when Indira is in her lost stage, it becomes too monotonous for the reader to keep-up the interest .
Final words:
Overall if asked I would say...this is an exceptional job done by Author…( Sreelatha )

Book Review – ‘It Wasn't Love at First: Shalini and I’ by Prashant Sharma



 ‘It Wasn't Love at First: ‘Shalini and I’ by Prashant Sharma 

For people who believe in destiny, relationship ...
This is the third novel by Prashant Sharma… I got attracted to the title of book and ordered it from flip-kart.

This is a story about a relationship between two unknown people who desire to become known to each other- This is the story about the author himself and his love for Shalini. The story is spread over a span of 20 years where they both keep meeting and imparting due to destiny.

The story moves further with different twists and turns  due to destiny , where either of them is not sure about their next meeting…not even sure whether the other one loves or not.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
This is the third novel by Prashant Sharma..who has done a good job and justification to this story. He has not over exposed any one character and the  script is balanced giving  justice to each character.

The author has expressed friendship of Love and relationship very well. Places like when author has got engaged to the girl of his parents’ choice and on the same day he meets his lost love, are narrated very well.

 Also the character of Kirti has  been portrayed well.

A real good effort done by the author. It is unpredictable and you want to keep reading the book ill you complete the book.
Some suggestive points:
Although the book’s end shows a happy ending which is all together good ..however on some places it seems it can be cut short  especially  the places where relationship of the author or Kirti is being explained or the shopping day out…Indeed the book is good but at the same time there is a little monotony in some places.
This is just a suggestion….
Final words:
Overall if asked I would say...this is a good job done by Author (Prashant Sharma)

Book Review – ‘Love, Life And Lust’ by Pritesh Bhosale 


‘Love, Life And Lust’ by Pritesh Bhosale
For people who believe in friendship, relationship... , ...
This is the debut novel by  Pritesh Bhosale… I got attracted to the title of book and ordered it from flip-kart.

This is a story about commitment, relationship, love & most important friendship and bonding between  - Adhi, Dhananjay & Maitreya who meet as acquaintances, but became best  buddies during the process of time….. They also get  Priya..  as an indispensable part of their friendship.

The story of all these characters moves further with different twists and turns by virtue of destiny,   their relationships, their lives, their love, and how this love takes the form of lust..…. To know how and what one has to read ‘Love, Life And Lust’.
Now my Positive viewpoints:
This is the debut novel of Pritesh Bhosale ..who has done a good job and justification to this story. He has not created any chaotic script or over exposure of one character and the, script is balanced and gives justice to each character.

The author has expressed the friendship of Adhi, Dhananjay, and Maitreya & Priya very well. On one hand where Maitreya is the one who can do anything for his friends on other hand Abhi is the one from whom his best buddy is alcohol. Whereas Priya is the person who would face everything in life with confidence and courage.

 Also the character of Gulab is been portrayed well. The phrases used by author are also good.

A real good effort done by author as this is his first book..and as it is unpredictable , it urges you to keep reading the book and you cannot stop yourself till you complete the book.
Some suggestive points:
Although the book’s end shows a different aspect of Friendship, Life & Love which is all together good but at the same time needs a rigorous proof reading as there are many grammatical errors. A reader expects that the author or writer of the book is very intellectual and a learned person and such mistakes affect that picture.
This is just a suggestion….
Final words:
Overall if asked I would say...this is a good job done by Author (Pritesh Bhosale)
