Chanakya's Chant

 Chanakya's Chant

          - by Ashwin Sanghi

Goodreads rating – 3.73/5

Chanakya’s Chant - another novel by Ashwin Sanghi in his Bharat Series is the story of Pandit Gangasagar Mishra, set along with the storyline of Chanakya (340BC). Pandit Gangasagar Mishra is an ambitious person who wishes to see a united better Bharat in modern times.

A very nicely plotted brain wrecking historical (political) fiction. Political tactics used by Pandit Gangasagar and of course Chanakya leaves one speechless. Reality of today's world - corruption, greed, class hatred (nothing better than ancient time), etc is very well portrayed.

Its a page turner and left me stunned almost the whole time. Both the timelines are very nicely narrated and related. Filled with many savage quotes, a must read for political lovers and even if u aren't it won't disappoint you.

Anupamaa ~ Fatema Raja

 We want a character to relate to us, to prosper despite the flaws. The biggest blunder of this oh-so-famous TV serial is the protagonist- the 'perfect' Anupamaa(which to be honest is quite annoying). She's shown to be the best mother, best daughter, best wife, best daughter-in-law and ofc the best "Naari". But what if all of this was just a coax. What if she's overcompensating about something from her past? What if- Anupamaa did have an affair with Anuj during their college time. But owing to the family pressure she could not refuse marrying Vanraj. But as Anuj was her 'one true love' and so could not leave him. Two years passed and now Anuj got pissed and asked her to leave Vanraj and shift to America and continue their life there. But Anupamaa got pregnant and thus was forbidden to pursue her "career". Anuj now fed up with all the toxicity decides to leave without Anupamaa. He texts her, I am leaving now but we'll meet exactly after 26...
