Storyline: 3/5.

‘Life & Promises’ is a story of a boy named Rachit who aspires to be an IITan but life and circumstances pushes him towards CA. There he meets his love Radhika, a beautiful and sweet Bengali girl. Like all love stories their love story has also ups and downs with its own uniqueness. There is also a character named Khushi, who has her own role to perform in Rachit’s life. 

Writing Style: 3.5/5

Being a blogger and book reviewer, I have read many love stories and contemporary literature (If we call it so…) is flooding with genre of love. But I have noticed a fact that each and every love story has its own unique touch and it makes the love story a special one for writer as well as reader.
‘Life & Promises’ by Pulkit Gupta and Ila Garg is also a love story but it is not flooded with any love scenes, emotional scenes or dramas but sketch of human reality. How a person ignores the one they love the most. It is said that love brings pain and In case of Rachit and Radhika the saying seems true. Both of them are deeply and truly in love but fate has got its own cards to play with. Rachit wished to be an IITan but health issues forced him to pursue CA and there he falls in love with Radhika, who wants him to be a good performer in CA. Rachit tries his best to keep balance between his love life and professional life. One needs to read story to know whether he fails or wins in keeping balance.
The issue I loved in this story was the struggle both the lovers faced. Long distance, professional lives and pressure to keep your loved one happy. It’s not an easy task to handle everything single handed and calmly. Both the lovers must have trust and capacity to face hardships they have in the relationship. Sometimes one ignores loved ones in order to get success but when they reach at the highest summit they realise that in order to gain something they have lost everything.
The storyline is really a good one but somewhat already written. Writing style is the soul of any novel and this novel has its soul and it makes the novel alive. The curiosity to know Rachit’s future will stop you from putting down the book before completing it. Khushi’s character will also raise many questions and hopes in your mind but her character is better if kept secret in this review. The poems and sketch in between the novel are quite amazing and it makes the story lively.

My overall rating for this work is 3.5/5.

Review of Mother Sparsh Baby Body Wash

Image
Hey beautiful ladies out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to my darling Jisha I rarely get time to review products. But I must say with her arrival in my life I have also got an opportunity to review baby products. Being new mommy I was curious about using chemical laden products on my tiny angel. So I searched a bit about Ayurvedic baby products. As I searched a bit , came across many brands but a brand named Mother Sparsh grabbed my attention.  I got whole kit of Mother Sparsh's all products. The kit in which I got all the products is quite spacious and bigger one. Every time I travel, I use same kit to carry my baby's medicines and other toiletries.  Now let's come to the product which I will be reviewing today. It's Mother Sparsh baby body wash.  Key ingredients:  All ayurvedic Ingredients like Aloe vera leaves, Neem bark, Holy basil leaves, Olive oil, Turmeric,   Product claims:  It claims to clean the skin, retains moisture ...

She is Mardaani

मैं हूँ वो तोहफा ईश्वर का, जो जन्मा एक हड्डी के टुकड़े से. मैं हूँ वो ठंडी सी हवा, जो आँधी भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो छोटा सा ज़रना, जो बाढ़ भी बन सकता हे, मैं हूँ वो हलकी सी बौछार, जो अतिवृष्टि भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो बिखरने वाली लहर, जो सुनामी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो अबला नारी, जो जरुरत पड़ने पे मर्दानी भी बन सकती हे. From the moment God decided to create Eve from rib of Adam, He gave a kind of authority to Man , to rule and mistreat Woman. From the primitive age Woman is considered as the  weaker sex and always considered as a “Creature created by God to entertain, to serve, to please Man.” These few words represent the mentality of Man for Woman and throws light on the ‘dark corners of the stage, where woman cries, when away from stage’, applies extra make up to hide the wounds and to be called a fashionable Diva. Everything has got certain limitations in this world and whenever this limitation is crossed the unexpected happens. Same is the case with Wo...

Holi skincare tips with Cocodew Cold pressed Coconut Oil

Image
Ask me which festival is my favourite and I will choose Holi over any festival. Colourful faces beaming with joy is everything to me.  After arrival of Jisha I took break from Holi for 2 years because of my fear of harmful chemicals affecting her delicate skin.  She loves Holi but I made her play with water and she would ask why can't we play with colours. So after bit of research and tricks last year I discovered one trick that would let us play Holi without fear of damaging our skin or hair. To play Holi without getting affected by harmful chemicals You need 2 things.  1. Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil. 2. Good Sunscreen Lotion. Market is flooded with various brands claiming to sell Cold pressed coconut oil but very few actually stand by their claim. Recently I got this Cold pressed coconut oil from brand named Cocodew.  Decided to use this for Jishu's skin and loved the way it made her skin softer and shinier. I have made it our routine to...
