Not Worth Living For


Book Review 
Blurb:
Ishita Singh, a student of St. Pierce’s College, Mumbai was living a pretty normal life with her group of friends, a caring senior and scarily enough, a creep who followed her. Shweta wakes up in the unknown planet of Isthenope and sets out with Alexander Ishutin, a former spy of the RSV, to discover more about the unknown planet which was built for a future civilization. Underlying the lives of the two in completely different worlds, there lies a dark secret which was partially blacked out in some corner of Shweta’s memory and unknown to Ishita. Will they ever come to know about the secret or will it be so chilling that it won’t be worth living for?

Review:
Not Worth Living For by Shreyan Laha is a brilliant work of imagination. The story sets on two varied locations i.e, the earth and an advanced planet called Isthenope. Both the stories on the earth and the planet runs independently, carrying out different situations. While Shweta struggles to survive on an unknown lands of Isthenope, on the other end, brutal attack on Ishita becomes a widespread media news. The most interesting part in the book is when the police starts its inspection to solve the Ishita’s case and come up with surprising facts.

The magnificent description of Isthenope is appreciable. Also, the author has very well used his knowledge of science and history in the making of this well-plotted story. The chemistry between Alexander and Shweta is certainly heart-warming.

Book Review About the Book Making A Poem is a powerful affecting collection of poetry that sheds a fascinating light upon the writing process and poet’s personal aesthetics. These are eloquent pieces where the poet displays a confident command of the poetic form to bring his ideas and observations to life. The pieces that ponder the reality of poetic expression are perhaps most fascinating. Their reflexivity results in a most engaging collection of poems. Making A Poem is an intuitive, thoughtful and creative pieces that work together as a cohesive collection. Review: What first caught my attention is the cover of the book having poet’s poise image with intense black background.

The beauty of these poems are, most of them are open ended for readers to draw the conclusion further. Categorized into different stage
