        Vivaan, an engineer, working on his dream project had to unexpectedly return to India when his father suffers from a cardiac arrest, when life takes a turn for him. Vivaan has a secret which he has kept since childhood... What is Vivaan Secret how will this secret affect his near future?
      
Shaan in the city is a short read with well developed characters and intriguing story. The language of the book is quite easy, it would be a good choice for new readers who are looking for free flowing and basic language with all the while enjoying a fascinating story.
    Even tough, the book story is quite interesting, I wish the authors worked on other aspects of book like proofreading and editing, I felt the spacing of the paragraphs a bit odd. Also I wish authors would have tied up few loose ends. Also the cover of the image gives an impression that it might be horror story.

Conclusion: I would recommended this book to new readers and anyone who enjoys thriller and suspense.
Rating: It's 3.5/5 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 ...

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...
