When you are teaching your kids letters and words when they are still discovering the world- you know how brilliant it feels! The word- “smith”- has always amused me! I remember having a blacksmith next to my mother’s house. All daylong he would bang on his pedestal and under his giant hammer the red hot iron would slowly take shape. Sadly the middle man who would buy these finished pieces would earn credits and our hammering neighbor would remain unknown.

About The Book:

I have been reading quite a number of feedbacks on Alka Dimri Saklani’s 45 Days in a Cancer Hospital, as soon as I finished reading it. My eldest daughter is a book bug (she finds “book- worm” a clichéd term). A couple of days ago she suggested- I should read books with the aim to analyze them in different ways. Now most of the reader feedbacks about this book are theme oriented. People have spoken at length about- suspense, mystery and even believed it to be a bordering medical drama. I would like to look at the book from the feminine point of view.

Book Review: Piyush Jha's Mumbaistan




Mumbaistan by Piyush Jha



I had been a mother and a chance reader for all these years. Thanks to the AABG team efforts- I could now take a step towards speaking up about my views on a book. The quote from Ekta Kapoor on the cover page of the Piyush Jha’s Mumbaistan- had captivated me. I am not ashamed to confess- once even I was addicted to her marathon serials, much to the chagrin of my husband. But this book is beyond the realm of complexities knotted together.
