Dil Bechara ~ Riya Gohil (Winner)

 [This scene is inserted between scenes of speech of Kizie at church for Manny and final scene of movie display] “Manny! Manny! Manny utho !” Manny : Kya hua? Tum yaha itni raat ko? Sab thik hai na ? Kizie: Ha, ab utho aur taiyaar ho jao, hume jaana hai. Manny: kya? Abhi? Kaha ? Kizie: shh, CHALO. Raat ke 11 baje hai, Kizie Manny ke ghar jaati hai aur use taiyaar karke us jagah le jaati jaha usne Manny ko pehli baar kareeb se jaana tha. Ha, woh jagah, jaha Manny sirf Kizie ko le jata tha, wreckyard. Lekin aaj woh jagah kuch aur hi dastan bayaan karne wali thi.

Coma

  Coma        -Robin Cook “In Boston’s largest hospital, two patients undergoing routine surgery fall victim to a baffling mishap. They never regain consciousness. Fighting against the scorn of her colleagues and the medical establishment, on brave woman starts to investigate the coma cases: steadily uncovering something unbelievably hideous…” How would you not be excited to read a book with such an intriguing back-cover blurb?? Welcome to the world of Medical Thrillers of Robin Cook, where Medical Science meets Fiction. I am going to review the most coveted gem of his collection, COMA. Set in the 70’s, the story revolves around Susan Wheeler, a 3rd Year Medical student who has just started her first clinical rotation in the Surgery department at Boston Memorial Hospital. Being a female in the then male dominated field, she is extremely competitive; a straight A student, not known to show much emotion. Being shoved in the real hospital world unprepared, she enco...
