Book Review : Duorb ~ Kavya Saroja and Shanmuga Boopathy

After years I have read a Sci-fi book and I must say, this is the best beginning of 2020 with this kind of book. The blurb of this book enticed me and coaxed me to read the entire book!

Title - Duorb
Author - Kavya Saroja and Shanmuga Boopathy
Pages - 256 pages
Genre - Scientific Fiction, Suspense, Thriller
Format - Kindle
Ratings - ✰✰✰✰

Before telling about the review I would like to throw light on what 'Duorb' really is. It means two worlds and DuOrbian would be a person who can travel between two worlds, more like a parallel universe while sleeping.This all is created and the thought behind is of Kate's father John who is major part of the book.

Talking about the blurb, the protagonist loves his job and lives life on his own terms. One day he finds himself in middle of nowhere. Not having a clue about his whereabouts, he is in constant fear of imminent death. Slowly he adapts to the environment and start enjoying it, meet new people and surprisingly find love. The major thing that happenes after this threatens his world and keeps his life at stake. Will he survive?

🌿🍃 Review -
The book takes up a slow start at first but it is normal for this book. Story needs some base to get on the right plot. The book has been authored in such a way it blends technology, romance and fiction beautifully. The way characters appear and the events occur in two parallel universe will surely ignites the curiosity in readers to know more about it. Honestly, it is really confusing in the starting, you will be clueless that what's happening but eventually it all sets in right place.

The writing style was okayish, as I told earlier a bit confusing. Few typos and some grammatical mistakes. At the end, the narration was alright.
Characters were good specially of John's. How he blames himself, the creation of duorb and the thought of reuniting with Amy, Kate's mother. So vivid imagination and good amount of research has happened here.

Overall it was a good read, would recommend to all sci fi lovers to read this book. 🍃🌿

Monsoon Cravings ~ Rain Special Blog #BirthdayBlogTrain

Monsoon is one such season which is loved by everyone. Fresh air, breezy days, cloudy skies and muddy aroma. And as the dark clouds roll in, we got some enormous cravings as well. So, lets relish some delicious delicacies from kitchens across the country which are loved by everyone... Kachori-Jalebi Deep-fried, carbs...the kachori and jalebi are guilty on all counts. The kachori filling varies - onion, green peas, a spicy lentil or potato mix are some favourites in North India. And the jalebi - a fried syrupy snack - hot and crispy from kadhai, is a perfect ending to kachori indulgence. Bhutta Monsoons are incomplete without getting caught in the rain and relishing some charcoal roasted bhutta with a drizzle of salt and lime.

Review of the Last Book I have read - "Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar" #TheBookBlogTrain

There are some books that you instantly want to read as soon as you come across them. The reason might be the cover of the book, the title or something else. The same happened to me when I came across this book and I do not know the reason behind it. These sudden urge of reading a book are often risky because you can pick up a wrong book in this and regret it later. However, the adventure and risk are worth trying because you will learn how to choose books for reading. About the book, it's a story of 3 different people who accidentally meet each other in Dhauladhar. It all starts with the commencement of a hydro-electric project in the remote Himalayas. Nanda, Khusru and Rekha are the main characters. They all have a secret past which discreetly, they hide it from everyone.
