Review of book:

'Aavaran' written originally in kannad language is a story of ' Lakshami' a rebellious free spirited film maker married to 'Aamir', her love from Muslim religion. 

The story is written on base of true incidences. Fluently written story supports the strong, realistic and captivating plot of the novel.
The book uncovers the religious reality of Indian subcontinent. Bharat was a country where only one religion existed thousand years before.
A mysterious reason for conversion of Bharat is uncovered in the book; the book may be unlike by so called liberals and pseudo-secularist. 

Protagonist 'Laxami' known as ' Razia' in the story looks quite realistic, author has successfully described thoughts of the girl. Author had portrayed beautifully the orthodox thinking of ' Aamir'.

Book is full of twists, tragedy, thrill and drama; pity condition of 'laxami' after being betrayed by ' Aamir' is eye-opening to all girl who gets trapped in Love-jehad. 

The book is recommended to all teenage girls and their parents.

Blurb of the book:

Because my questions made Amir uncomfortable, he pronounced talaq just like that on the wife who had abandoned everything for him because his religion gives him that privilege. Where do I now stand, sir? Do you have any solutions for me?' Lakshmi, a rebellious, free-spirited and intelligent film-maker, breaks ties with her staunchly Gandhi an father to marry Amir, the man she loves. She even agrees reluctantly to Amir's request that she convert to Islam, as a formality and change her name to Razia. However, she is shocked to discover that her husband is not the open-minded, progressive individual he claimed to be. For after marriage, Amir takes his family's side in trying to force her to follow the more rigorous tenets of their faith. This sets her off on a personal journey into India's history to uncover the many layers of religion, caste and creed. Her quest leads her to the many parallels in the narratives between the past and the present and she gradually finds that though much has changed in Indian society over the centuries, much remains the same.

Bhyrappa, translated for the first time into English by Sandeep Balakrishna, Aavarana: The Veil raises pertinent and searching questions about religion, liberalism and identity and highlights the importance of unshackling oneself from the bonds of false knowledge.

an Interesting plot and gripping description

 

Blurb of the book: “Just as an eagle needs a push to soar into the sky, she needs a gentle nudge to achieve her dreams. And if she falls, he will be there to catch her, lift her, and push her again until she flies to stars…” Love…does it mean going around the trees in Switzerland, singing tra-la-la-la in the snow? Is it chanting “I love you” mantra a thousand times a day? Is it about gifting teddies and roses to your partner? Or is it bombarding each other with a thousand and one pings in Messenger from morning till night? Life batters Samaira. Stuck to these clichés, she loses everything…her love, parents, and wealth. Hopeless, she collides against the dynamic boss of Creative Tanks (CT), Vivian, who basically holds great contempt for losers. He aims to be the top entrepreneur in India, whereas Samaira has not even a notion of her dreams. Fate plays its own game when she goes in search of work, where she encounters him again. An air of mystery surrounds her, which tugs at him. Despite being opposites, sparks fly, and they are attracted. Vivian is perfect, but she vows that she will never fall in love again. He reaches a point where he would do just about anything to bring back the smile on her face. The chase begins. She keeps running away…from love, hope, and aspirations, and he keeps trying to bring her back on track. Thus their journey begins from the end, with oodles of inspiration and love… Vivian breaks Samaira’s shell and guides her into pursuing her broken dreams. He promises that he will be there for her if life pulls her down and hold her tight when she needs support. Together, they vow to each other, “We can. We will. We must.” But when Vivian tumbles and it is Samaira’s turn to break his fall, will she catch him? Walking on the arduous path of life, will they climb the ladder of success together or crash and burn? Can love be enough of a catalyst to attain their dreams? And now life threatened not to throw just lemons but huge melons…

About the book:

'A grave smile on her face tried to hide the pain, she had decided to let feel him only beautiful moments she lived. Radha covered Kanaji’s head with her chunari, he closed eyes and submitted his body when she gently guided his head to her heart. He felt losing control over all his senses and could not feel himself when his head was on her heart. She closed eyes and let Kanaji enter herself; he felt soft, delicate and beautiful. He felt her silky hairs on his head; he felt being loved, being pampered by father, being scolded my mother. Girlish play with friends, affection of father and feeling like princess in father’s arm. But Kanaji did not want to feel only beautiful moments of her life, he invaded further; she did not know when he overpowered and reached the painful memory she had been hiding since days. Will Kanaji keep his promise after knowing truth?'

Review

Dip in the ocean of Ramayan finding new gems

Language: simple, fluid

Characters: Enough justice to every character

Narration: Gripping

At once the book was mailed to my home for review i was little bit disappointed thinking that another book manipulating our ancient books. But as i started reading the book, my prediction failed; this book has not modified real story of Ramayan as other authors are doing nowadays to earn bucks. 

Author has described the Ram's meeting with Hanuman, Vali Vadh and God Ram's stay with Sugriva in simple and communicable language. The life lessons added by author along with story are inspiring and add essence in the book. 

Author has not failed developing Character of Hanuman-the loved most God. Story behind his birth and his glory are captivating. 

Reader comes to know many things while reading the book; for an example, why god Ram asks Laxaman to identify Sita's ornaments!

Ram's relation with laxaman, and Sugriva's relation with Vali are depicted in touching manner.

In an era, when many authors are misrepresenting our sacred, glorious and pious past in perverted form this books stands for our culture, custom and reality revealing the truth behind Great stroy of Ramayan.

About the book by author:

The Ramayana is not a story. It’s a way of life. It’s the game of life.

Life is a constant reminder that nothing, however powerful in one season, remains unchanging. The endless cycles of change can truly us if we are unprepared to face its realities. However, we often see these changing times as problems larger than they really are. Many issues in life when perceived with fear, result in pain; but when perceived with CLARITY, result is FREEDOM.

Situations of helplessness are almost always created by our own limited imagination.

Do you have the courage to face your fears?
Stand Strong, the fourth book in Ramayana: The Game of Life series reminds us through its eternal stories -- such as the tale of brothers Vali and Sugriva -- that life is like a high-risk treasure hunt: one often has to walk through a maze of confusing paths while being chased by dangerously complex dilemmas to find the hidden treasure of wisdom.
