 Blurb: I get frustrated when I hear my own people criticizing India. I feel sad when I realize that more than half of the Indian population is unaware of what we have achieved in the recent past. It is unfortunate that we seniors along with the government have jointly failed to make our younger generation know how great this country is. We teach them about Ramayana, Mahabharata and few selected leaders during the independence movement. We name all our new schemes after one or two leaders as if they were the only ones who did everything. India is more than just few leaders. India has been a movement which assimilates everything which comes into contact with it and it is people who live here who make it happen. The last fifty years have seen tumultuous changes world over. These have had vibrations in India as well. Let us re-live these years.


 Review-
Here the author has made the plot in a unique way and the story is uncommon. Rarely authors write such books and he is one of them. The story speaks for itself and wants to prove that India is not just a developing nation but even more than that which many people fail to understand and continue to criticize their very own motherland, their very own country.
The story is one of a kind and totally different. While reading the book one would get the patriotic feeling within them and enjoy it, even if you were the one criticizing your country some moment or the other. Here he has shown his love for his country which is never ending. He tries hard to make people realize that India is more than what we think, there are her own achievements which we need to see and stop pointing out the drawbacks and continue criticizing. 
The main aim of the author here is to make the present generation realize about the progress India made in different areas over the last few years. Through this book, he leaves out a message for the youth about the steady growth of our nation.
The narration is done in a good way and the book is in easy English which stands out to be a plus point.
The title is catchy and leaves you to think what the story would be.
The cover depicts the plot of the story and is very appealing.
The blurb does its job and takes you on the short journey of the content of the book.
The book is unique in its own way.

 Rating- 4/5 :)

..AND HE MADE ME STRONGER THAN EVER.

“Stop crying Ashna, he was not the one for you.” Said Tanaya. “No Tanu, it’s not about that. He cheated me for no reason and I trusted him blindly. He had broken my trust earlier too, but I trusted him like a fool for the fourth time.” I said and started crying again. It was my mistake to trust Abhishek blindly, had I not done that, today I would not have been crying. My friends did warn me for loving him, they told me that this guy is not good but I was madly in love with him. This time he left me just because of a misunderstanding caused by an online brother, the one now I regret calling a brother. Had he not been a part of my life, I would have been happy with Abhishek. But as said, things happen for good. I wish Abhishek had some sense and solved the matter with me, we would have been together. I was into depression just because of him. Blades became my best friend which helped me hurt myself by cutting my hands. I knew this was not right but I was not the old Ashna, I was the ...

I MISS YOU MY SUPERHERO.

“Papa, Papa, Papa. We’ll go to Aquatica (water park) this Sunday, please?” I said. “Ok beta, we’ll surely go.” Replied papa and I hugged him. It was Saturday afternoon when papa came upstairs from the shop for the lunch. He took his lunch and a small nap and went back to the shop downstairs. After he went down, he had a sudden pain in his chest. The employees took him to his cabin and made him lie down. The condition worsened and then the employee decided to call and inform the family members. He called and said, “Ma’am, sir is sick. He is having a serious pain in his chest.” After hearing this, Deepa, my mother ran downstairs with the hot water bag. Things were normal for a while but again he felt the pain and he was unable to bear it. Seeing this, the employees suggested my mother to call the ambulance and take him to the hospital. The ambulance came and papa was taken DSP (Durgapur Steel Plant) main hospital. The weather then turned out to be rainy and the storm started. It w...
