Title : Dating, Diapers and Denial
Author : Rachna Singh
Publisher: Alchemy Publishers  (2011)

About The Book:
‘Dating, Diapers and Denial’ is a novel with a comical view of life from a woman’s perspective – of those years that race past from the age of twenty through to forty. It traverses milestones related to meeting, falling in love, marriage, babies, and growing old.  In her debut novel, Rachna Singh is on course to make you smile, chuckle and say,  ‘That’s so true!’  ‘Dating, Diapers, and Denial’ is a novel you’d want to read over and over again, to double up at the funny anecdotal passages and the witty observations. Tongue-in-cheek, with self-aimed pot shots, the innuendoes are clever, and witty. The book moves at a brisk pace, with story-telling that enthrals. As the humour tickles the readers, the sense of ‘relating’ to the instances keeps them riveted to the book.

About The Author:
Rachna Singh writes for the love of capturing those funny blurbs that pop out of her head all day into stories that enthral. A Masters in Psychology, Rachna has worked in the corporate space for over 15 years, and now, works as a consultant, balancing family, and her writing along with her work. With Dating, Diapers and Denial she promises to be among India’s best humour writers. Rachna hails from Allahabad, and has now settled in Bangalore, with her family.

WHY DID I FALL IN LOVE BY VINOD PARDHI



Title : Why Did I Fall in Love
Author : Vinod Pardhi
Publisher: Power Publishers (2011)

About The Book:
Why Did I Fall In Love? by Vinod Pardhi revolves around the enigma that reasons with the necessity for love. The question grows into prominence only when love goes unrequited, unnoticed and misjudged by situations.

Vinod Pardhi - asks a rhetoric question - a fateful query that few can answer perhaps. The question is powerful, drawing you to the deepest corners of a maze, where the walls look alike and where surviving is suffocating, escaping is never an option - perhaps cutting of the link with Divine providence is the last resort. Yet alas, destiny has other plans. Unless Life finds a new meaning, the magic wand continues to play havoc with your stars and provides you with a living angelic apparition - an object of adoration. Living through triumphs and failures, making promises under the mistletoe - all the rosy dreams of togetherness, stumbles over the final word of authority.

Vinod Pardhi's Why Did I Fall In Love narrates a love saga. Epical in its delineation of plot, he begins with the essential meeting, the growing of likeliness, the vows being whispered as the years roll and the bond strengthens. No matter, how the years treat them, love makes them stronger in finding their aspirations. The union of hearts and the connection of mind are possible- but fail to survive the tirades of society. It is the differentiation in the glaring social eyes that creates the issuing troubles in relationship. And therefore Shewta and Vinod could never claim their own realm. Refused under the pressure of social boundaries, survival would and did seem bleak and undesirable. Yet- forgiving is the ultimate way to forget what once had become a natural life line.

Why Did I fall In Love published by Power Publishers, is Dickensian- the expectation less fulfilled is actually the emotion poured out to the very last drop of euphoric elixir. Coming from a young mind, the word sacrifice brings out the truth of the hard way of survival. You don t live life according to your wish; you seem become a part of the herd that is controlled by the desires of others. It is painful yet designated role-play.
