A subtle retelling of a mythological tale capturing a fascinating and heartwarming movement that made my heart flutter. A beautiful encapsulation of Meeting His saviour and joining the war against evil and thus fulfilling His destiny

The last story depicts how Karma bites back everyone, doing bad to someone thinking that you are gonna profit from ot never works your bad doings comes back to hunt you in the worst scenario where it was least expected

-𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐄𝐍- 𝐛𝐲: 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢

There are instances where inspite of being surrounded by the crowd we feel alone and empty. Isn't it? Because it was never about the number of people we are woth but about those the number of people who understands us 

 --𝐀 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐄𝐍--
   𝐛𝐲 ~
𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐡𝐢

This book is a charming yet thoughtful tale narrated in a humorous way revolving around the character of Kritidhara Pant aka Kittu.

As the novel begins we see Kittu in a dilemma and kinda frustrated over a magazine quiz which declared her a 'church mouse'~  one whose entire life is spent at the same place  and has no exposure to the world and in Kittu's case it does holds true as she left Lucknow only on 2 occasions. The first trip involved the last rites of her grandmother and second was a wedding, but she returned home to her mother's funeral and after that devastating incident she never left her house and now she stays in the house full of men.

Let's introduce with the 6 men in the house; we have Ravi Pant (her father) ,High BP or Hridyanath Brahma Pant (Grandfather) ,her twin brothers Shamik and Nishant, Bark Twain her dog who once used to be Bittu and Mr. P.G. Wodehouse unlike the blood and flesh people this gentleman is within a frame but I really enjoyed his quirky and funny replies anyway

Kittu inspite of living in the house full of people she still feels lonely the void always haunts her and she thinks noone could ever understand her, with whom she could possibly share her endless relationship issues, Maniac obsessions and simple aspirations  and she feels all alone in the world

This is a story of Kittu, her family ,her dramatic life and her emotions and dilemmas. This story was refreshing but at places it was bit dragged ,the slow pace that the book follows initially was flabbergasting. They are lot of banters between the characters which felt unnecessary and doesn't adds upto the story progression. It was in chapter 4 when I felt yeah the story is going somewhere.  Overall this was delightful contemporary family fiction. I liked the concept and the idea of the book. The writing style is easy and beginners' friendly would recommend it to everyone who wants to read a contemporary fiction that beholds sweet yet thoughtful story
