'Doctor Stalker Spy' by Usha Narayanan ~ Review

DOCTOR STALKER SPY

Usha Narayanan

BLURB

Kamna is a psychiatrist in Chennai. Her colleague Purush is rich, handsome and madly in love with her. When a dashing stranger, Neel, enters her life, she is drawn to him like a magnet. But then , an intruder crashes into her home and threatens her life. Can Kamna find love amid such danger?

MY REVIEW

Honestly, this book goes on to prove that genre-fixation is hugely overrated.

Having read a couple of mythological books from her, I found it hard to believe that Ms Narayanan would ever write a Y.A. rom-com. Well, she did, and how well at that !?

Doctor, Stalker, Spy is one of the best and seemingly real romances I've read in a long while. The author has studied her subjects to a deep extent, which is evident in all her character portrayals. The dilemmas and challenges a 20-something faces, all seem so real and relatable.

This one is undoubtedly, yet another master stroke by Ms. Narayanan!!

Vengeance- A sting in every tale. (A WRIMO India anthology)

At the onset, I’d like to thank Neelesh Inamdar- a contributing author in the anthology, ‘Vengeance’- for giving me an opportunity to read it and review it on my blog. Confession- Not being a fan of anthologies, this was only the second one I got down to read; and I didn’t much enjoy the first. Having said that, Vengeance came as a surprise and a pleasant one at that. One of the reasons I can think of is that each story is bound around a common theme of revenge and vengeance (but then, you had already guessed that, didn’t you?) I would not be doing justice to the book, if I don’t talk about each story separately. So, here goes: 1) ‘The beautiful ratio’, by Shweta Rao Garg : I liked her choice of words and her use of Syntax. What also stands out is her keen observation of the real life around; right from the weirdly spelled local sign boards (Manchuri rais and Oneon Garlik), to the cinematographic description of a middle class Muslim neighborhood, to the logic b

Name of the Book : PRADYUMNA: SON OF KRISHNA Author: Usha Narayanan The Story : ‘I see a dark future that makes me quake,’ Devarishi Narada said. ‘One of these newborns will ravage the world and erase the name of Krishna from the face of the earth.’ As the world trembles on the threshold of Kali Yuga—4,32,000 years of unprecedented evil—it waits for a saviour to rise.
