Aswathi Chandran

The story starts from the creation of the first human begins to the era where we are trying to create AI with consciousness. The first part of the book contains stories of Adam and Eve in the name of Shivaji and Devi and their son - Dath, Vish, and Linga. How Dath and Ling had created an empire that was friendly after their demise but because of women they two kingdoms waged war on each other. They were a prophecy that a hero will be born to save them. I loved the Philosophers Matsya, Rudra, and the kid Adi who was questioning them in the era of monarchy rule.

The story becomes true when Shivaji is reborn as Krish to a family in Vellore and becomes an engineer and joins Citta, a company that is developing AI where they are trying to bring consciousness by inducing fear but they are missing something.

Overall you will enjoy reading and moving into different eras and questions, answers and thinking make the book an interesting one. I loved the way the story was narrated and the writing style of the author.

The decoding of Painting was something I loved.

Death Served Cols is about murders that are committed by the woman and their motive. The book contains 7 stories that will really make you think about how people commit murders and killing their own kith and kin for such motives. All stories are real with changing the name of characters. The last story is from recent times so we may have heard it a lot in news. The other stories are something I have not heard before and made me think about how people can change when they have some desire to achieve what they want by any means.

The book is well researched and the narration was so good. Each case is explained with the back story, how the people committed the crime and how it was found out, and the judgment for the case.

I loved the story of Nafis, a 13-year-old boy who is different from others of his age. The story was narrated so well and I like the writing style.

The journey of Nafis and his understanding make you read with a lot of interest. We can see how development affects the environment. When there is a new industrial and technological development that will deplete the resource in the surroundings and make the place a dry land where nothing can exist. The story has a good message to convey. This is a book for all age groups.

Poems make you feel different emotions. This contains 30 poems. I loved the Poem on Time which describes how time goes when we are happy and sad, how some try to pass time and some try to save it. Time is the only thing that is constant and moves continuously and won't wait for anyone. Another poem which I liked was My rare day off. The line I loved was “By taking off the shirt of ego, I am completely free. The way the author described enlightenment through this poem was so good. There are poems on Pain, love, life...
The book is short with 78 pages with varied emotions and worth reading for poetry lovers.

The book is a good read with a good story that explains how our mental health is important. The protagonist of the story is Dr. Manoj who shifts from Delhi to Nainital for some change. There are a lot of characters who were difficult to remember at the beginning and as the story was going it was ok.

The story is simple and gives you a good message and it is about doctors, other staff, patients, and their lives.

Health is wealth. We should take care of our health whether it is a physical or mental illness we should get medication on time or it will become a serious issue. The book has a lot of information that is to be understood. You will surely like the book and its ending and I recommend it to all people around me.

Hybrids, a fantasy fiction where the hybrid twins Addison and Aiden who have the power of wolf and witch and can control elements are nearing their age 16 when they will know their powers and use them to win a big war.

Addison and Aiden were living in an orphanage and their life changed after meeting Brooke. They came to know about their powers and are in danger as one of the members of the pack kidnaps Addison and marks her to be his mate.

The rider is the alpha of the pack who with Aiden helps to save Addison. Rider dies by trying to save Addison and the upcoming journey where they join the new pack and finding the real mate of Addison and unmarking herself and giving a new life to two pups was really so super. To know what happened in the war, how they find traitors in their group and reach their goal you should read it. I loved the characters Addison, Aiden, Raven, Marie, Kassie, Noah, Brooke, Tristan, Claire.

The story narration was so good and the writing style was simple and I liked it. Travel to a different world of wolves and witches through this wonderful book.

I really love to read newsletters and magazines for literary lovers and The LLP magazine was crafted well and I loved reading it. It has a wide variety of contents. This is a half-yearly magazine published in June and December. The first inaugural story was of Agatha Christie and her journey some top 10 best reads loved by Agatha Christie fans.

There were poems, short stories, and paintings by different peoples and different parts of the world.

I loved the story of Shiv a lot as it was science fiction. The Origin by Dan Brown and its review was so well crafted.

The main thing I will do soon will be reading the recommended Agatha Christie books. I read many things about Agatha Christie that I was unaware of.

I really appreciate the works of other creators who contributed to the Magazine and wish to read the Winter issue.

This is a great Story. I loved the character Cindra, the protagonist of our story. I am still in a hangover from reading this novel as the plot was intense. The story is so engaging and I loved it. The character Cindra is a 14-year-old girl whose father fixed marriage for her and she wants to explore the places outside the palace and she goes before marriage to the adventurous journey in disguise of maid, will she reach back the castle? Read to know the complete story. This is such an enjoyable read with fantasy.

The writing was so simple and straightforward. I do recommend it to fantasy lovers and who wish to see a female protagonist in the story.

The book really explains anything from mythology, history and how different species are and how they make treat females and how this patriarchal society wrote all rules that give more independence and freedom to men and a lot of restrictions to women.

I liked the way the author explained how our Indian mythology is framed with a patriarchal mindset. The author has spoken of Hinduism and Islam and how the rules are, the author has interviewed a lot of victims and offenders and say explain some stories and try to find a reason why does a man rape.

The offenders had some childhood traumas or their parenting was not so good. Most of the offender's mother was not treated well by her husband, beating and abusing make them feel women as just an object to fulfill their pleasure and do whatever they can.

The author has spoken on child abuse, incest rape, marital rape, and stories of some victims. He also said about why Prostitution should be legal in India and how it can help in reducing the abuse against women.

The rate of sexual abuse is increasing and there are more opportunities to find the victim as in most cases the offender selects a random person. Now online dating apps are also creating more problems as there are many fake ids and there are many users who share a lot of information which makes the people vulnerable and there are some stories about date rape where the victim went for a date and was raped and abused.

I really want to say it is always victim-blaming and there are many leaders who blamed the victim and said about proximity between men and women in society is less as the reason for rape. How they can say boys are boys and all. Really you can see the mindset of many people who supports the offender and blaming the victim for everything that happened when the victim needs support and care.

The book is written so well and dared to speak on many things. Kudos to the author. I do recommend this book to people around me.

The story is so intriguing and I loved it as am a thriller fan and was anchored with the story till the end. The story from the beginning introducing the characters and the way it was leading to each victim and finding the culprit was so interesting. I think this will be a movie soon. There was a killer in Tampa who selects Petite ladies and mutilates their bodies, carves them and dresses up in 50's style, and places them in public places. The first murder site visited by FBI of couples in-home and Dr. Hutton saying there were more bodies found in this way. There are more and more victims from different timelines, years ago. I liked the character Emily who had some special powers which helped the FBI agents to solve the case. I wish Tammy and James will fall for each other. I liked the character Samantha who was so understanding and loved John.

I thought Sara will be killed and the next victim the serial killer will select Samantha, anyway, the ending was so good, and the last chapter's elaboration of Samantha and John's outing was way more than expected. But I liked it as in many stories they won't explain what happened in the life of other characters after the end of the main plot.

I will soon read the Dare to Dream. As I wish to know more about the characters and the previous case that was solved by Tammy, James, John, and Emily.

The narration and the way the characters were taken away were so good. I wish to read the next part of the book in the series.

I loved reading a book with a lot of Illustrations. The Urban Chronicles II has 3 stories on a different styles of parenting and their consequences. The first story where Adrit was kidnapped and the kidnapper was friendly with him and he wants to stay with her shows how his parents were not spending much time and restricting him from doing many things and do what he loves.

The second story will really make you cry and feel a lot and the third was so enjoyable, a three-generation of women in the family traveling on the cruise.

I loved the way the story was going and what it was trying to say. I am waiting for the next book in Urban Chronicles.

The story is a superb thriller and a sure read for thriller fans as the case has a lot of mysteries to be solved. Each thing in the story will make you too think like a detective and find answers. Some parts were predictable and some were not predictable.

Vijay, who was in a restaurant with his friend while the 1st murder of Anirudh happened and he was changed to a different wing because he couldn't save the person. Vijay has a lot of enemies in his field because of his sincerity and passion towards his work which gave him many opportunities.

Godbole and Rathore were appointed to solve the murder case but they couldn't and the next murder happened which became a sensation and CM, HM spoke with commissioner Patel and the case was moved to the right hands to find the murderer and Vijay got the opportunity to ask whatever he wants for solving the case and unlimited funding.

With a lot of obstacles in his path, he needs to close the case in a week and find the murderer. Dalvi and Padmini were part of his team. Each one has each characteristic that helped them move further without any distraction. Especially Dalvi was such a loyal and dedicated person.

To know who was the killer and how murders were planned and executed and how the murderer was captured you need to read this novel.

I loved the characters Vijay, Padmini, Dalvi, and Vasudha.

The book is really helpful for those who wish to choose their career or change career and find what is best for them and through which they can earn. We should love what we do to earn but most people don't like the job they are doing and need to switch but if they switch they don't get as much as they earn now and sacrifice their happiness for money and thinking of their family and its survival.

This also helps people who want to achieve their heights in the career. The book has some tasks along the chapters to find our ikigai.

The way the author explained each concept was so simple and I really loved the tasks to find what is the strength and what we are good at. There are some stories to make us understand what he trying to convey in the particular chapter.

The story is a superb one with a lot of information and how other people treat you like a fool for following the rules. We all know there are road accidents daily that affect the family of the person mentally, physically, and financially.

If people abide by rules, we can reduce such incidents happening. If we follow the rules and are right the one coming in opposite or behind doesn't follow the rules, there will be an accident for sure which make me fear driving my vehicle in the road and using the public transport.

The story was narrated well and the only negative is, translation for the author's native language conversation is missing in many places in the novel.

Other than that I loved this book. I really felt Pari was so rude on the train when she met Anjali and Twinkle and later because of Anjali and Twinkle, she found a goal to be achieved.

Think Epic is a self-help book that makes you understand why we can't do what we wish and how we should change ourselves and our thoughts and being a human being that is not affected by other's actions. We all are part of the world and the people and the things around us have an effect on us and the way we live but it is purely based on our actions and inaction.

Each chapter is well explained with examples to make us understand the concept. The story of a Hungarian player and the Elephant leg tied with a rope is something I have heard many times in my life.

There will be problems in our life but we should try to find the positive side and the opportunities and solutions available rather than thinking of the problem.

This is quite a different self-help book that explains why these things happen in our life, why we are addicted to our smartphones and not living with the people around and how we give answers to some questions and how our mind works and how to overcome this.

The book has 5 short stories. The title is based on the first story.

The first story is where two sisters are running for their lives, meanwhile, Tiger is running too and both of them end up in the attic. What happens next surprises the readers. This story is so different and I loved the ending.

This gave me the impression to read the upcoming stories in the book as I expected the stories will be more interesting and have unexpected endings and that became true as the stories moved from one to the next.

I loved the character Lili as she was very passionate about her work and loved the journalist Paddy and Mala's silence which made me crave for her words. Read this book to know the fictional stories these characters hold through Author's imagination

Each story gives you different emotions fear, love, sadness, nostalgia as each story is so different and I really enjoyed reading them all. It made me travel with the characters in the story. The narration is so lucid and makes the reader read with the flow as it is written in a simple and interesting way.

My personal favorite story among these 5 is ‘ The tiger in the Portico', because of the two sisters and the character Abdul, his mom, Forest ranger Mukul and especially the tiger which made me fear for the life of girls and made everyone wonder what it will do next.

The book is a collection of poems filled with a lot of emotions and each poem is so different with a different perspective. The poems are on self-love, healing, desire, divinity. If you want to get inspired and have some motivation and love poems this book is the right one for you.

Each poem has some impact on us. All are penned so well. It is 200+ pages read but it is so short and makes you feel the emotions on reading each one.

The book is on spirituality and how a person gets free from emotions and forgiving our mistakes and guilt. The protagonist of the story is Mohini who lost her mom and was in deep pain got some valuable lessons from a sadhu and learned many things and she becomes a person who loved to be powerful and learned witchcraft. Later she accepts her mistake and leads a life teaching lessons in the ashram to find inner peace. Everyone should read it because we all make mistakes but we should make peace with our past and accept what we have done and lead a peaceful life.

The narration was so good and we can find Mrinal who was such a great personality and Ashok who committed mistakes thinking he is God and should punish others. All the characters in the story teach us something.

The story is super interesting to read. It is perfect for teenagers as it is about the adventures of few teenagers and some mystery behind the viceroy villa. Avantika is a writer and Akash is a police officer, Sneha and Shruti are their kids. There are some stories on Viceroy Villa they are staying which Avantika uses as a plot for her story, whatever she writes happens in real. Shruti and Sneha read the story without knowing to mom as they want to be cautious and find solutions in their life based on the story.

There are a lot of things that happen on the day of Sneha's birthday and she and her friends take an adventurous journey and went missing for many days. They pass through a tunnel and reached an island.
The island people teach them to be part of nature and love it and lead a peaceful than playing games on the internet sitting in the same place.

Read the book to know the adventures of Sneha and her friends and mysteries on Viceroy Villa.

The story is written so well and the narration was so good. If you think of it as just a love story it is different from each story and I really felt the emotions at some time and sometimes laugh, smile, and felt even to cry.

I recommend it to all my friends. You will surely feel and love the characters in the story how Ryan changed and how life has taken a different direction.

I wanted a different ending. But all we expect won't happen. Don't want o give spoilers. Read to know about Ryan and Neha and what happened to them.

This is such a superb read. How cotton was introduced in the world to different materials used in the textile industry and how the development and creating hybrids and different techniques used from history to geography and scientific aspects are covered about the humankind and how they evolved with this industry. I really loved the concept of math used for patterns explained and how the banking system was introduced, the innovations in textile, how a project that gave other results helped in the dying industry and how colonization and everything are interlinked.

This is a book on how human civilization and the clothing industry developed together and how the innovation made changes and improved the way of understanding and quality of the clothing.

The narration was so good. The author has researched a lot and made a great effort to make this book on fabrics and civilizations. Each chapter was on each thing related to the clothing industry from fabrics, dying, innovation, ...

I got a lot of information about the clothing industry and many more things.

This is a super thriller read with a lot of twists and turns. I really liked the private detective Kevin. I thought of Rimi and Nivas how they are interconnected and I found out before it is narrated. Nisha and Dhruv have a secret crush on each other and things start turning down when they have some feelings for each other. I have really fallen for the character Dhruv who is a philanthropist with all charm and everyone has the only good thing to say of him such a down-to-earth person.

Nisha is a strong, bold girl and I liked the way the character of Nisha was narrated. Sugunya is such a good friend of Nisha who cares for her like a mother. The story of each and every person was connected so well. Michelle, Guruji, Kevin, and Arun were connected so well. I really hated the demise of the characters I liked. I liked the current ending of the story than the alternate ending.

The murders were done in such an impossible way and the explanation was so good. The Jallikattu protest made me remember my college days. The story was so intriguing and you will love it for sure.

The book is a collection of 36 poems on zodiac signs.

On each zodiac sign, there are three poems especially about the zodiac sign and about the women and men with the zodiac sign and their traits.

You will enjoy reading it and laugh thinking of your friends their birthdates and how the things mentioned in the poem match.

The book is a must-read for people in educational institutions. We should not be a teacher following the age-old syllabus and the old method of teaching. We should evolve and teach based on the current scenario and should talk and make an interactive classroom and remove misconceptions on many topics. The author has shared her personal experience of how she reacts, how she answers, and how she makes the students understand and speak about race, color, stereotypes, consent in a way a student should understand and asking questions before explaining to know what they meant by it.

The author has given the resources that can be used to improve your way of teaching and be an ABAR educator. There are some problems faced by ABAR teachers because it may not be part of the curriculum and how to add as a part of it and how the administration supports or deny it and how to caretakers and parents think of it. There are a lot of things and that is explained and it is worth reading(hearing) guys.

This is a superb historical fiction. The story is about the resurface of the plague that hit the population in 14th century. The government authorities trying to find a solution as there is lot of casualties. They find some work done in 90's by Dr. Srikanth.

The way the book was divided and the narration from the 14th-century plague to 96 findings to cure the disease using ancient and modern medicine and the current scenario waa really thrilling and intriguing.

A sure read for historical fiction lovers.
