To know more read The Worlds That Met in Bollywood.

My Thoughts:

The plot of the book is well developed. There are two stories going alongside one is of Anirudh and the other of Yasir. Author has done excellently brought the two stories together and finally we get to see how Anirudh gets to make an entry into Yasir’s life.

The characters are well developed and totally relatable. The journey of Anirudh and Yasir from childhood to adulthood is worth seeing and there’s a lot to learn from the mistakes they made. I loved the fact that the author has showed how these characters are totally opposite to each other but the only common thing they have is their love for bollywood.

The language is simple and lucid.

The book cover is nicely done and somewhat reflects the story plot. The title of the book is nice but can be misleading. After reading the title I thought the plot to something else but it turned out to be something very different.

Overall, I can say that it was a good book and I enjoyed it a lot and would surely recommend it to all.

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...
