Book - On The Open Road Author - Stuti Changle   Publisher - Invincible Publishers Pages - 179 How long it took me to Read - 2 days Review -  OTOR is a story of 3 people - Myra, Kabir and Sandy who're fade up with their lives in some way or the other and want to pursue their dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Ramy is the person who is inspiring all three of them to do what they want. I liked the narration and dialogue between characters and felt that the story moved pretty smoothly. A few plot twists towards the end of novel took me by surprise which I liked! Also Stuti has dealt with multiple issues like mental health, loneliness, the problems any entrepreneur encounters and that of friendship. So, I think it was a pretty diverse read. But I felt stuck at few places and wished the story wasn't dragged out unnecessarily. Another downside of the book was that I didn't feel attached to any character since they lacked depth in personality.  To fin

Book - Night Of Happiness Author - Tabish Khair   Publisher - Picador (PanMacmillan) India Pages - 154 How long it took me to Read - 2 days Isn't it a gorgeous cover ?! Review -  This was quite a short read and could've been finished in a day if I didn't had other works to do, but as it went, I read it in two days. This was my first read by Tabish Khair and I fairly enjoyed it. The book has elements of suspense, surprise and mystery ,just as it says on the blurb of the book.  It deals with a pragmatic entrepreneur - Mr. Anil Mehrotra and his right-had - Ahmed. A mysterious story is formed around the latter which the former seeks to resolve and know the truth about his old friend. Ahmed is said to have no wife but then is suspected to have kept his wife imprisoned as Mr. Anil gets to know him more.  Is Ahmed innocent? Or is he a culprit? You need to read the story in order to find out the truth!  Now coming to what I liked about this book. First

Book - Agnes Grey Author - Anne Bronte Publisher - Alma Classics Pages - 214 (242-including extra material) How long it took me to read - 4 days Review -  Anne Bronte was the youngest of the 3 Bronte sisters and probably is the most under rated of the three. I decided to pick her debut novel as my starting place with Brontes and I don't regret it. This novel was originally published along with Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (which became famous) in 1846.  It is said to be semi autobiographical in nature since various incidents of Anne's life are written in the book as Agnes' experiences, for e.g., both the writer and protagonist are well-educated daughter of a penniless clergyman; both worked as governesses and had bitter experiences ,etc. But then, I feel, almost all authors leave a part of themselves in their work, either implicitly or explicitly.  The story deals with the development of Agnes as a person. She is treated like a child by h
