Review: Once Upon A DharamYudh

Once Upon A DharamYudh by Vibhor Tikiya
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I got this book for free from the author as goodreads first read.

The books is about how a factory owner handles labour problems in his premises. how he handles the bureaucrats , local goons cum politicians. the book barely touches the problem. but given the size of the books it aptly conveys its core message - "quarrels should be kept within. When outsiders interfere, they take more than what they give to either side".

Though I am not convinced with this solution but given that the story in Indian context where corruption is very high, you can not expect a fair treatment at any level irrespective of whether a factory owner or a worker is right or wrong. whoever bribes more, wins.

I liked the end though I expected a fierce fight/battle between the factory owner and the labour, which never happened . 4/5.

Review: Keeping The Promises

Keeping The Promises by Dhruv Gajjar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received the book through GoodReads first reads for free. thanks to GoodReads and the author Dhruv Gajjar for sending the book to me.

The book is full of one liners. The one liner from the book - "Girls ! They want compliments even on the deathbed..." sums up the book very well. the book is all about keeping the promises made to a dieing girl by her friends, parents and boy friend. She forces all of them to make/keep those promises. The books captures the romance between two college going couples nicely. The main characters are bubbly and one could easily relate to them.

The story is nicely narrated by various characters of the book and is knitted very well. I could feel the characters, specially M and Dhruv, around me while reading the book.
