This is an amazingly well researched account by the author who himself is a Kargil War Hero and served 20 years in the Indian Army. The Holy Trinity of Experience, Observation and Facts along with the author's own touch of wits made this inspiring book a informative as well as a delightful account

Tracing it's lines from the history when India was the World's richest province followed by China, which very well attracted greedy colonizers from overseas. And the talking about the british era when the condition of the Indians was pitiable, with lack of education, poverty and malnutrition. To present day, when India is emerging superpower with its economy being fifth largest position in the world.

He also stated how "India's biggest enemies are not our neighbouring countries but our own people, internal problems, corruption and loopholes in electoral process"

Portraying a straightforward and unapologetic distinction between history and myths, how Our history was written to give false glorification to the british empire, historians enjoyed their patronage for that. Yes, "they didn't colonise us to do charity or to play cricket" . Also tells about the aggressive, over ambitious yet achievable schemes and dreams, the hustles and its solution.

"History has taught us, there are no clear winners in any war." Despise war and talks about its calamities. Gives a insightful account of Galwan valley Clash, the border dispute, about Cov!d-19 and about the very special 'Make In India' project, Indigenious Artisan and Start ups in India about Agricultural and Tourism sector, the complications there and it's insightful solutions

The last chapter was Kargil Dairies it was painful to recollect those days of deaths and darkness. In this chapter he narrates about the horrors and gives a heartfelt Tributes to The Kargil Heroes and also to The Galwan, Uri and Pulwama Heros. And atlast there are famous qoutes by renowned personalities around the world about India and his favourite ones.

Also amazed to know All The Profits From this book is going to War Widows

The narrative was easy and slow paced,there was bits of unnecessary exaggeration at places which was flabbergasting. The plot building was steady building thr suspicious auro of the story. The thrilling engima was mild, what I liked the well depiction of emotional aspects of the characters. If you like reading thrillers you specifically a beginner in the genre you can certainly pick this book.

This book has everything that I love to read Suspense, thrill and aura of myths and age old legends. The story articulately connects between the two timelines; The 365 CE and Present Days , the transition between the two time period is very well defined. The blend of Egyptian Myth and Science fiction provides an intriguing aspects to the story. The characters and the plot is is well developed. Glimpses of bygone ages with present days being a fast paced thriller this book keeps the readers hooked till the Last pages.

The writing style is exquisite and suspense brewing up makes this book a page turner, inspite of being a book with 300+ pages I finished it in one sitting as the narrative and intriguing story line kept me glued till the last page. Recommended to everyone who loves to read a gripping suspense story with aura of mystery.

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢 𝐕𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐲

Myriad of emotions conquers our heart but it's only the one called Love that adorns the crown. Witnessing both mundane days and stromy nights, instances where our souls gets entangled with griefs, tragedies of unfilled dreams, laments of bygone days suppressed in our hearts to all , those take a leap and free your souls.. because as Siddhanth said, life is not a mere fullfillment of responsibility it's meant to be lived

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐒 𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐢 𝐕𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐲 is one such feel good story filled with warm tears as well as warmth of love, later occupying the major part.

Revolving around Piya and Siddhanth and their bittersweet story of love and life. The story was character driven and very meticulously plotted. 

Piya was a fun filled , sweet and charming girl still waiting for her calling to find out what she could best curve out of the life. Siddhanth is a philosopher and a environmentalist at a very young age who wants to change the world by taking small measures and also involving himself in various social works and is a non believer of the fact thay success lies abroad (Did I mention he is also my new fictional crush). His heart is filled with compassion and empathy and seed of that beauty he has sown in Piya's heart as well. 

Piya and Siddhanth met on a fateful day of Ganesh Chaturthi on Marine Beach in Mumbai at a very strange situation and again the next day which was planned by them. Both felt a strong sense of security in each other's company and starts enwrapping their inner turmoils to eachother and endup healing eachother wounds, giving eachother the strength to face and cure the forbidden chaos in eachother's life and family that lies behind the superficial veil of happiness. But destiny was not that easy for them as well, a disastrous night and their path separated. When they finally met after 5 years will they be able to be as they were before to eachother. 

 

Love is never easy, neither it was for them, caught in the trails and tribulations of life. Being a feel good story that gives you warmth. We can guess that their will be an happy ending but it's not the destination but the journey that matters. The why's and how's of the life and the way people hold eachother and heal eachothers souls that's matter. 

Just like a cloudy sky is needed for us to admire the rainbow maybe griefs are needed to find every 'happily ever afters'. A cute story of innocent love finding it's way in two compassionate hearts and giving it's readers a warm hug.
