Pages: 178




                ‘5 Minutes’ by Vrinda Singh is a book which tells us the story of  Pooja. Life for Pooja was never easy first at college when all her life used to revolve around her books and her mom. She was a studious girl who with her determination received a scholarship for her further studies. During this time period only her life changes when Jai and Sakshi come into her life. For her Jai was a very good friend but Jai started having feelings for her but she refuses his proposal finally she meets the love of her life who comes into her life as a savior. After her graduation she joins the corporate world there where Jeeva is her boss and Shahid becomes her best friend and the story takes pace from her. To know what happens next in Pooja’s life read 5 Minutes.

My Thoughts:

I would first like to start with the characters of the book. The author has given so much of detailing to the character of Pooja that it feels as if we know her very well. The way she handles the situations and takes decisions is also commendable. The other characters are also written very well. Overall, for the characters we can say that characters are well-developed.

The plot  is written from the view point of the protagonist Pooja. The author has given us a very important message in this book and is the value of time in one’s life. We mostly don’t value time and also sometimes give more value to people who have just come in our life thus again wasting all the valuable time and also our relationship with people who care for us. The plot is very realistic and will teach the readers a lot.

The narration of the author is also wonderful the author has successfully maintained the POV throughout the book.

The language is simple and lucid and the readers can easily go through the book quickly.

The cover page is very cute and the book title is also very apt to the story and justifies the whole gist of the book.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and would surely recommend it to everyone.

My Rating: 4/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
