The world is changing fast and keeping in pace with
it is challenging. There is a saying, “Nothing is permanent, but change is!!”
“Change is difficult at first, messy in the middle
and gorgeous at the end.”
The way of reading has changed for some time now,
with the advent of eBooks and is popular among readers. And its popularity has
grown from strength to strength with time. The 44th edition of Indispire has brought discussion to the table, of between paperback and eBooks which is better.
Though I personally wanted paperback editions to win
over eBooks because of the physical touch it gives to the readers and its
smell, but there was a dilemma. And I had to fight with my thoughts and my
words, when I started to write about them. I thought it to be easy; giving
paperback editions a clear winning edge over eBooks in my thoughts, but putting
thoughts into words was very difficult. I just couldn't distinguish between
them, and had to let go of the differences.
To differentiate between them, is to wage a war, which
is completely out of the context, for they are two sides of the same coin. Though
#paperbackvsebooks
was created, but eventually it became a win-win condition. For whatever the
writer decided is better, it was always reading that was enhanced and I then realised,
that things change with time. And everyone who has written under the hash tag
paperbackvsebooks must have been torn apart to make a difference between the
two. It is better not to find which is better and which isn't.
Knowledge is power and is above everything and
anything for that matter. And change is the only thing permanent. Long live
Paperback editions along with it successors and may it rise like a Phoenix, in future,
if its kingdom is ever challenged.
Shivering and the body feel cold and things just
seem to get out hands, when you plunge into the unknown. These are the first
hand expressions of something weird that may happen. And most importantly you
just don’t know what is going to happen next. I just question myself is it for
real or is this something that was meant to happen.
Have I just fooled myself into the fact that “When
God is with me who can be against me.” Or maybe I haven’t fooled myself at all.
But when you don’t know anything, suspicion may raise causing bewilderment
leading to doubt.
Krishna can it ever be, that you aren't with me, when
I need you the most or are you in the process of finding off what pain, can
this creation of yours can endure.
I just know something as a matter of fact, that when
everything seems delusional and things may go out of your hands just, “HOLD
ON!!”
Will I be ever rewarded?? As such I just believe that
and the only thing I have ever believed is
“When Krishna is with me, I have got nothing to
fear.”
The rules of
life don’t apply here. Just because a
vagabond comes with the tag “No strings attached.” He doesn’t have a rule;
neither is interested in making one.
Life is more
fun when you don’t have any rules and why should be there any rules for that
matter. For when you are born, you didn’t have a guide book to lead in one way
or the other.
Life never
says what to do. It’s up to you to decide where to go and where not to. Instead
it just gave you, the beautiful planet earth and the power to fulfil your
destiny, in whatever field you choose to follow.
It’s your
life, live it to the very best like a vagabond. NO RULES, NOTHING!!
Just follow
your heart and it will lead you directly to your destiny.
Life is a series of events, happening one after the
other and almost instantly. Even before you process the information and react,
the moment has already passed. It is very cruel to those who waste it and never
ever gives you the opportunity to reprocess the lost time.
Time
is the most important asset and it always will be, no matter what is your
excuse, it never cares and moves on, in its never ending journey. It goes with
the saying, “What has been done, can’t be undone.” Off-course
not, until we have the leverage of a time machine. It is all in a moment and
the next second it vanishes, with a blink of an eye.
It’s like an idea that strikes you for a second and
you dismiss it the other second. It might not have been a perfect fit at that
instance. And when you have read the work you have completed, you find the
puns; irony and all the figures of speech have perfectly matched to their
corresponding words making a perfect sense.
But you know, it wasn’t at first you wanted to write
a pun or something, it was just because you felt that it should be the correct
attribute, for the events that follow in the passage.
Within
moments, a blank page has finally found its meaning and purpose, to be a proof
of your world class or a start-up that is going to be world class.
Who
knows!!
Of what will happen next or after this moment
Time
changes fast and it happens to be the only thing that permanent. Time is the really
an asset!!
Life becomes a large cauldron, when your worst fears
chase you for your life and even more worse when you don’t know from whom you
are running from.
The story starts with a shriek “Code
Brown in room 204”, which gives you an eerie feeling of what has
happened and you have to dig in, to know what caused the panic and what will be
the aftermath of it.
Lives of Jake and Emma change forever when the
un-dead chase them, for their neighbours start eating each other and were next
in queue to be eaten.
The story describes the petrified lives of the
living and the ways they devise to be protected from the un-dead. It all started
with a bite, and it spread like a wild fire in every direction. With the passage
of time the un-dead hunt the living and in the process give rise to a whole new
army of more un-dead, with ever increasing proportions.
Jake and Emma run for their lives in search of any
living and find a group of people who were taking shelter in make shift houses,
until they were again force to leave their houses when attacked by the infected
zombies. And the story describes the ways they invent and devise to stay away from
the zombies and to move far away from them.
I don’t want to be spoiler of what has happened in
the story, but it is a must read book for all the zombie lovers.
My Review:
Well poised novel with a lot of drama and fear. There
is always an eerie feeling with the characters in the novel of being attacked
by some zombie and to get infected. Jake and Emma, the protagonist of the story
were always on their feet since the outbreak of the infection. There was a bit
of reconciliation towards the end and the fear that once grasped Jake and Emma
was now ward-off and peace prevailed. The humming of the birds and the cries of
the children were more of music than noises to our protagonists, after a long battle
for survival.
I just had a feeling the ending is going to be like
the stories that we heard when we were kids “Happily Ever After!”, but as everything
seemed ok, the author, brought the infection again to the survivors and there
was a twist, at the very end of the story.
It gives a bird’s I view, of the events, from the
eyes of a woman (Emma) and it
captures the moments in the story that only a
woman can understand.
I am very thankful to Shana Festa for considering me
to review her novel.

The Professional
Freelance was not written in a traditional format. It was written from the
protagonist’s point-of-view. He is talking directly to you; the reader
My Review
The protagonist of
the story is quite vivid and exemplary, in putting forward his thoughts. And
has his own way to depict and compare a situation.
He learns the
lessons of life in the hard way and is unlucky for most half of the story. He
gets a decent job, after shifting from one job to the other and ending a
depression-era, until he loses his job and his pay checks again and to make
matter worse he is ditched by his girlfriend.
He responds to the
wrong classified ad, and lands himself in a dominatrix’s apartment, where he
has to attend to Rose. And in the course of time, he lands himself in an old
and dilapidated house, while trying to solve a case.
The sequels and
prequels play their part in the story, and you have keep track of the events
happening and have to connect with the past to know the future, else you have
to do the vice-versa, for you may fall into zigzag roads created within the
story.
The story is quite
humorous and you will find yourself smiling, metaphorically to the description
of the facts and figures, related to in the story.
It is an excellent book and very good indeed.
I would like to read more books by the author, Rory Scherer.
I am very grateful to
Rory Scherer for considering me to review his book.
Will
be the first logical statement that you can think of when you are being chased
by weird hunters with the likes of zombies, half dead and the infected and it seems
even more dreadful when they hunt you in packs.
The story starts with Jake and Alicen siblings running for
their lives when they meet Chris, searching for food. They again run for their
lives, when they meet other survivors Jenn, Sarah and others who have survived
the last infection.
The situation gets worse when they have a limited supply of
food, water, and fuel.
The
group gets smaller and smaller with time as the infected attack many of the
survivors and feed on them. All they have is a little hope that they might
survive.
My Review
The storyline is terrific and as you read the novel you
will be immersed in the story and you can feel that you are one of the characters,
looking at the story as it unfolds itself from a distance. You can feel the
horror, the sweat trickling down your face and the adrenalin rush with the
sound of the blood pumping as the infected run after you. It’s just terrifying.
I just loved the little girl “Alicen” and the beauty with which she holds her
curiosity and her sweet words.
I am very thankful to Michael W. Garza for considering me
to review his book. A must read book for the zombie lovers and I am looking
forward for the sequel.

~Sallustius
“Deorum naturae neque factae sunt; quae enim
semper sunt, numquam
fiunt: semper vero sunt.
Life is very uncertain and in the path is always
unknown. And we can always expect the unexpected in our lives. There is but one
thing that is certain, death. It is again Hope that keeps mankind in the hunt
towards a better future and to believe in the impossible which helps in imagining
things and converting them into reality.
We don’t care what happens to the world until unless
we are a part of it and worse if something bad happen to us. And then all of a
sudden we realise how important life is and how much we miss our loved ones.
The world is a beautiful place to live in and also scary
for the future is unpredictable. Things can be delusional and can be no longer the
same, the way it was last night or the last day.
Mary and Dan are a happy couple, but things turn
upside down when they wake up one morning. There is an eerie feeling all around
their house, and it seems as if silence reins the place. Dan finds out the
horror that has happened the previous night as the village they live in has
turned into a cemetery. Everyone is dead except Dan, Mary and their daughter
Annah.
The story describes the horror they undergo and the
way they fit into the new society of the dead and their hunt for survivors. The
novel describes beautifully the scenarios and the circumstances that any living
being would have felt had he been a part of the same situation. The way they
adapt and train themselves for the uncertainty and the how they are enlightened
about their purpose in this world by the creatures created by Massimo Marino is
to watch out for.
The novel is a class in itself and the audacity with
which it describes the human emotions in times of uncertainty is one of its kinds.
A great novel, that sets itself class apart.
I am very thankful to Massimo Marino for considering me to review the
book “Diamones” Vol.1 of the Diamones Triology. A must but book and you can
also read his next book in the triology, “Once Humans”, Vol.2 of The Daimones
Triology and “The Rise of the Phoenix”, Vol.3 of The Daimones Triology.

Life is a series of mysterious events happening every moment or the other and we have no clue of what is going to happen next and how. And in this conjecture of events, there is a zenith where the world conspires with you to give you the power to read and share.
Curiosity has taken man to places never seen or heard about. The act of sharing is a gift which has no limits. The ability to deliver a speech in a few words as opposed to speaking for a longer period of time can only be learnt by the power of reading and sharing.
Reading can be somebody's hobby and for someone it may be his passion. It has been by far my hobby to read more and more. And in the International Authors Day it is very difficult to choose an author and a specific genre.
Currently there are many Indian authors who have written many books on Indian Mythology, so for a quite some time it has been my favourite genre. Learning a lot about Indian mythology and History is very interesting.
Ashwin Sanghi’s novel “The Krishna Key” is the best book that I have read, in this genre, adding to the fact that there are many good authors and books in this category like Amish’s The Shiva Trilogy, Asura, Sita, The Thundergod, Govinda, The Kauravas, but The Krishna Key cathes everyone’s attention from the very first page and the evidences provided in the novel is just incredible and unparallel in its own way.
The serial killer who kills to prove himself as the last avatar of Lord Vishnu, and the intrigue story that follows it is just mesmerising and it keeps the reader in the hunt of what new evidence about Indian Mythology is he going to encounter in the next page.
And the better part of reading the book is that I have referred it to as many friends as possible and we all had a great fun discussing the Indian Mythology and in the process we had shared a lot of information we collected from various sources and the experiences we had from our childhood about “Lord Krishna”.
Moving the next book that I loved and my very first novel that I ever read is “Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, and after that I had gone onto read every book of his and the philosophy he has about life is something that heals your heart and takes you to a world you have never heard of. Its life changing and very inspiring and “20 seconds reading” in his blog is even better and the moral he adds is what no other author ever does.
Again moving to another genre, autobiographies the book by Richard Branson’s “Losing My Virginity” is an exceptional book and it is a great business guide that takes you off your limits and to the horizon that seemed till now very far is now within your grasp. The knowledge Sir Richard Branson shares, his projects in the areas of health and his reflections about life is just incredible. He describes why it should be in the early ages of your life you should start your business, because the curiosity and the ability to look the beyond the ordinary and the wish to be better than the best, can only be found if you are in the age of seventeen or eighteen. A must buy book for all those who want to excel in the world of business.
And for the closing ceremony are the books for all Network Marketers, Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Business School, by Robert T. Kiyosaki, gives you the insight into this new world of business and the innumerable possibilities it has to offer and the ways in which it defied the orthodox ways business is being done and why is it the Business of the 21st century and it talks about dreams and to think big and to believe in the impossibility and most importantly how to achieve those. Robert T.Kiyosaki says “Financial struggle is often the result of people working all their lives for someone else.”
Finally I do love a poem by H. W. Longfellow its “A Psalm of Life”
Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream! For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day.
Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle, In the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act,— act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o’erhead!
Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.
“There is a force that exists in this universe that is uncontrollable and impossible to contain by any man, creature, or entity. It is an overwhelming, all-consuming power that can either build or break whatever it touches. That force . . . is something called love.”

My review
It’s simple, soft and is a wonderful book that you can read it at one go. It is an incredible piece of story on love of two lovebirds that apparently don’t belong from two different states or countries but in fact they belong from two different parts of the universe. Prince William Walker Jeremiah Derry, who is destined to kill the star child from earth, Sydney, falls in love when he meets her. And the love blossoms with the passage of time but IMPI, an artificial intelligence assists William in his endeavours on Earth and helps him find the star child. But the love of Sydney and her grandmother Sarah make him feel more at home and the thought of killing Sydney, fades away and he vows to protect the Star Child with all his might for it is only love that conquers all. The climax of the novel is just thrilling and it keeps you in the hunt of what happens next.
A must read book for all those who want to know what it is to love a guy from another Universe. Braxton, has done a wonderful job in proving that Love alone is the most powerful force in the Universe
Just grab a copy of the Protostar by BRAXTON A. COSBY as soon as possible for you can’t afford of not having the book on your book-shelf.
