I received this novel from Nikhil Sir when One day I approached him through my Facebook profile. He appreciated my keenness to read his novel and give my review for the same. When I ask him for review copy, he humbly asks my address and shows his enthusiasm towards talking with him. He is a humble and kind man that gave me a privileged to read his wonderful novel.

The 365 Days is a story of Shijukutty, who is married to Dhanya. He was a fisherman that soon turns out to be a labourer. The story talks about the sufferings of those who have wandered away from their homes to the distant suburbs of Dubai or the gulf countries to work there as backbreaking wage earners for the sake of dreams they have carved out for their families.

Once he reaches Dubai, the initial few days he is lost in the crowd, getting to know fellow Malayalis and other employees in the labour camp. And a day comes when he truly realizes that he is in a land of opportunity, where working hard and earning is the only thing he has to do.

The book is a rude awakening of millions of trapped abroad who have left their hometowns by choice, but now stand entranced.

The subsequent events further shatter him and break his spirit. Finally, the monster of Recession arrives to gulp him down. Then he decides to return back to his motherland and be with his family.

The cover and the title of the page is good.

I love the language and the plot.

In short, it is a MUST read!!!

Package Dimensions: 21.6 x 14 x 5.1 cm

This thriller is filled with question marks on each and every page. The plot, sub plots, characters’, screenplay everything is what we call ADHIRA or LIGHTNING.
Not only thriller, as we know Adhira to be. It has tinges of Romanticism too.
If I quote, “Adhira held Shekhar’s waist tightly and he felt trembling. Shekhar pulled her closer.
That was the first kiss of their love story...Till date.”

I loved the way the plot ended.

If I add a bit more, the book concludes with a glimpse from the second part.
“SEATTLE CANCER CARE ALLIANCE, SEATLLE”
Which definitely leaves a question for the readers -what will happen to Adhira?

TThe title of the novel- Adhira is very cute and I love it. The minute I read the name of the novel,

I can understand that it will be a story of a girl and her life. It is quite apt.

Apple ;)

Nonentity can apprehend that “an apple” can change world at that broaden. Yes the apple. Today I am not talking about any apple salad or beauty tips that make your skin beautiful with the use of an apple. I have something else to share with our readers. It is interesting, funny and very informative. Have a look at it. And do write back to us if you have any such topic of this kind.

And DONT forget to eat an apple today as you already know- eat apple a day and keeps a doctor away (wink)!

In this editorial we are talking about the three apples that change the life of humanity in upside down. This small looking fruits can be so powerful, no man can ever think of. So let us have a look at a story of these innocent looking apples.

These apples are:

Ø  Eve’s apple

Ø  Newton’s apple

Ø  Steve Jobs’ Apple

Ahhh... now you realised what I am talking about!!! Well they are well known and every one of us knows the story behind this. So, let us rewind your mind and see how apple plays a important role in this era!

1.      Eve’s apple

Eve’s apple is my favourite and loves to read articles regarding the forbidden apple every now and then. According to Bible, Adam and Eve was the first human on earth and have eaten the forbidden apple. That was a sin and cause the fall of humanity. It is felt that both Adam and eve fall from the grace of god and till now human suffers due to that sin.

The very interesting thing that I found in bible was the mentioning of “apple”. It says that eve have ate apple from the tree of knowledge of good and bad.

2. Newton:

Let us come to the 2^nd name in the list that is most famous and influential scientist that humanity can ever get. He gives the notion of gravity and three low of motion. Here I am not going to explain the gravitational rule or three lows of motions. But surely tell my reader the role of apple here. It is believed that this man found the notion of gravity when apple falls on his head. Falls on the head can also read as “hit the brain”. It means that when apples fall down, he actually realised that there is some gravitational force that is working under the earth and cause apple to fall down word.

3. Steve job

This name doesn’t require any introduction. Steve job and apple cell phone is in the wish list of every individual. He is the man that founder of apple. Apple’s iPod, iphone, ipad had actually brought s wave among the humanity for sure. I don’t know my readers may focus on eve and Newton or not, but surely an apple brand will raise your ears.

So, you might agree me with these points for sure. Keep in touch for more intresting articles...
