The Blurb & Story:  Aditya Gokhale – a cynical, skeptical, reluctant teenager, and Radha Bose – a hard-working, professional, determined private investigator, end up working together. Their first case is to figure out whether the death of a television actor’s son is a suicide or murder. With Aditya’s personal life in disarray, and Radha dealing with her own demons, will they be able to put their differences in personality aside and work together? Will the partnership crash and burn, or will it be the birth of a duo?  My Take:  Starting from the start, I love the Aditya’s character. His personality is uniquely described as a sarcastic, a bit rude, down to earth, blunt, and yet with a great sense of humor. I just couldn’t stop myself from smiling or clucking on his dialogue and comments. Birth of a Duo by Chandrayan Gupta is a unique book, it's not a love story but a Mystery solving Thriller. There are few times when Author talked about depression, loneliness

Love on the Everest By Deepthi Ayyagari

Image
The Blurb:  Snow-capped mountains and peaks that appear precarious to folks who prefer the solid comfort of level-ground, are like home to me! I am Siddharth. My parents would have probably been okay had I turned to the forests seeking nirvana like the Buddha. But I have turned to the mountains to seek solace; or adventure, depending on how you look at it. The mountains are my home. They are my paradise. My parents wanted me to leave my adventures, marry a girl, and ‘settle down'. I'm not sure what that means, but I understand their love. So I obliged them by getting engaged to a girl of their choice, but fate had other plans for me. During my mission to climb Everest, I fell in love–with my Sherpani, the woman who was my guide on the treacherous climb. Fate, however, is not satisfied playing games with me. It wants me to deal with more. Much more! I don't know if I will ever climb Everest. I don't know if I will ever win my Sherpani. But I know that I
