        Ayesha finds herself in the "city of dreams", a new location, new college, new people excites her as well as scares her. However, Viren is more than happy to help her out in exploring the new city. however, fighting the college crowd is going to be entirely her own battle, especially with one particular senor Abhi being hellbent on making her life difficult from the first day itself. With Viren finding it difficult to concentrate on his UPSC preparations and Abhi his looking forward to seeing Ayesha outside the college, Ayesha must decide between the two.

    The author has very well described how teenage love feels and beautifully captured all the aspects of college life, from freshers to graduations, from ragging to talent showcase in front of the entire college. The college experience everyone should have and if possible stepping outside the comfort zone. The author has very well maintained the suspense on who would be chosen at the end. she has very well balanced the positive points of both boys, choosing between could even get difficult for the readers. the dialogues between the characters were also very interesting the difference between their thought process and what they actually said was something different and enjoyable. I also really liked thought-provoking poems at the start and end of the book and also how the author has given quotes said by the characters before each chapter to better describe their personality. The author has also provided references for those who belong to a different part of the map.
    
    The very first chapter of the book gives an impression that Ayesha is more brains and is less beautiful, however, the entire book portrays something her beauty than brains and her physique especially the long legs part which I found to be a bit confusing as well as disappointing. even though the whole story builds up to great suspense the end turns out to be disappointing with a few loose ends

    
Conclusion: I would recommend this book to anyone who loves college drama, romance, adventure, and of course Mumbaikars.
Rating: It's 4/5 for me.

Head that wears the crown

  It’s funny how, over the years, I’ve moved through a handful of bosses probably five or six by now and, if I’m being honest, I never really liked any of them. I mean, who does, right? But recently, the disdain I’ve held for them has slowly shifted to something more like pity. Maybe it’s just a natural shift that happens as you gain experience, or maybe it’s the result of certain events. Either way, it’s been on my mind lately. For as long as I can remember, the go-to office pastime has always been “bashing the boss.” You know, that whole ritual of gossiping about their quirks, criticizing their decisions, or poking fun at their management style. And in a way, it’s a bonding activity for colleagues a way to release stress and feel like we’re all in the same boat. But recently, an old Gujarati saying has been sticking with me: “ પીપળ પાન ખરતાં હસતી કુંપળીયાં , મુજ વીતી તુ જ વીતશે , ધીરી બાપુડીયાં …” (Translation: As the old leaves of the peepal tree fall, the younger ...

THE FINAL PAYMENT

  Indra stretched lazily on his bed, watching “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma” on his phone; he had been doing that for a whole day now. His daughter had promised him a set of his favourite books; they should have reached him by now, but the hospital staff had become very strict with the rapid rise in the number of cases. He had been reading stories of how rapidly the virus spread through one’s body; however, he felt just fine except for slight breathing difficulties. He wondered what all the fuss was about. With that thought, the oxygen monitor started to beep; his O2 monitor showed 94. He remembered nurses talking to each other about how O2 should be maintained above 95. He thought to himself, “ I should relax a bit. Good thoughts, Indra. Think good thoughts!” And with that, his mind wandered to the construction of his new farmhouse, a project he'd been planning for years. With his retirement just around the corner, he had envisioned spending his golden years there with his w...
