Rating: 4.5/5.

About this book, well, where do I start? When I got a mail saying I get to review this book, I thought for a while whether to review it or not. Reading the name, I wasn't much into the book. Of course, I had not read the plot. Then I Google-d it up to find out that it was a love story, and it seemed pretty interesting to me. So, I decided I'll review this. And once I sent my confirmation, I was eagerly waiting for this book to be delivered.

As soon as I got the book, I started reading it, and I fell immensely in love with it.

With every page I turned, the book got more and more nice, and thrilling. I could find myself in many of the events. It was as if someone was narrating the incidents of my life to me. I enjoyed it thoroughly and finished the book at one go, because I just couldn't wait to find out what happened next. Page after page the story went, and before I knew it came to an end.

About the story. Its set in a semi-modern state. It goes on continuously, without any stops keeping the readers hooked to it. Many incidents in this book looks as if its been taken out of your life. I don't know what's been left out of it? There is everything - Family, Friends, Love, Drama, Action, Romance, Stupidity, Humor.

I want to highlight one part of this book, that is the female molestation that takes place. Many of the incidents have been put up, like guys touching you when you are in bus station or a railway station. Guys making use of your sweetness just to use you. All of this has been put up clearly. Even the girl's part of Ignoring those touchings and forgetting the guy for using you has been shown plainly as well. This can be seen in many girls life now. Just to save their dignity, they hide whatever happens to them and just ignore it. I think, at least after reading this book, girls should stop doing that and try to stand up to guys.

While reading this book, the part I felt most connected to was where the main character was lost in his dreams. It was so splendid to watch him trying to sort out his dreams and life just to get what he wants. His biggest desire. His one wish to make her proud.

All in all, it is a superb book, filled with everything that makes you want to read more and more. I suggest this book to all those who loves to read book, and all those to who doesn't like to read books as well. Because it is a really awesome book.

I would give it 4.5 out of 5 as I found it totally interesting. Thank you Rishi Vohra, for giving the readers such a wonderful piece of writing. Do keep writing. I am your new fan right here.

"Hey you, Yes you. You look really Handsome today. But you know what would add more to those looks? The vanishing of the Stubble."

If you know me, even a little bit, then you would know that I absolutely love IAN SOMERHALDER, and I'd die to just see him once in real life. But, if he comes in front of me with that Stubble, all I would say is, "Sweetheart, I love you but you don't really need that stubble". Yes, I would say that to the biggest crush of my life, so imagine what I would say to my guy if he comes on with a stubble.



As I seem to have a pretty good imagination, let me take you all to the future, to the time I am with my guy.



We are talking through phone, discussing the plans of our movie date.

Him: So, I've booked the tickets and it starts within an hour. I'll pick you up in half an hour, be ready okay?
Me: Yes Honey, I will be. Don't forget that I like only clean shaved men (my first hint)

He laughs and cut the call as I think in my mind that I'll kill him if he doesn't shave and come.

SHOPPING!!!

A black and cream Salwaar, perfect for the marriage. Comfortable enough for me to be worn doesn’t have much weight, which makes it easier for me to more around during the marriage doing the last minute preparations. It is Beautiful enough to make me look Gorgeous. And what more? It is considerably cheap and a very good quality material. 

I can not only wear this for marriage but also during fests in my college. This classic beauty will surely make me look good.

An Indigo colored Insense frill dress. A perfect dress to get me glowing during the glorious times when I get to dance.

Comfortable, Classy and awesome. What else does a girl need to show off her beauty and elegant poise?

I'm pretty sure I'll be using this dress more often than I intend to, cause I have some super seniors who keep throwing parties where we have to dance. So yay!

Its time to Party!! 

Okay! I'll try not to be too dramatic, but OH MY GOD! Just look at that top. Simple and elegant. How I love it!

I'm a big fan of black dresses, and this top just makes me want to love black more and more.

BLACK BEAUTY! The perfect phrase for this perfect top.

I can wear it anytime and anywhere. Where can you get such a beauty for such a reasonable price.

I'm wondering why I'm still writing this while I could have gone and bought this beauty.

 Its time for ACCESSORIES!!

Look at this watch. I just can't take my eyes off it. Did you see the dresses I selected above? This watch is a perfect match for all of them. I mean, just look at it! It'll go with any dress.

And that color combination! Black and Silver! Wow! Just BEAUTIFUL. 

If I buy it, I'd keep waving my hand as if I'm going to see the time even if I don't have to, because I'd just like to show it off.

Sweet baby Jesus! Whoever designed this bag, please know that I love you from the bottom of my heart. Who wouldn't love this adorable little piece of beauty. The color, the design, and those flowers. Wow! Having Black Rose as my most favorite flower, I'd say this black flower doesn't look so bad as well.

I just really hope that this bad is available for sale when I go out for shopping, cause it'd be the first thing that I would buy.

I think you all have gotten the gist about how much I love black, but still, you can't deny that this is spectacular, right?

I was going through the list of sunglasses, you know looking at them one by one, and I found this. Once I did, all I could think of was, how cool and stylish I'd look wearing this. And also was trying to count the number of guys that would be behind me. I'd look really cool after wearing this, not like my usual nerdy style.

Love is in the Air! Obviously, yeah because I'm going to attend marriages, but those EAR RINGS! For a minute I'd seriously wish to convert myself into this girly type of girl and shriek out for this ear rings. I think my heart just skipped a beat looking at it. Oh! How I wish I a little older and had a special someone for myself who would gift me this, and then I'd start crying because its so beautiful.

Now I think I'm going to cry because I don't have that special someone. Anyway, coming back to point! Is anyone going to gift me these? I'm going to love you forever. Pinky Promise ♥.

asdfghjkl!! Wondering what that is? That is a type of Fangirling. Girls usually do it for their famous celebrities, but there is no such rule that its only meant for guys okay? 

Wait for a few minutes as I fangirl more over this belt, which I think is superawesomehot! Oh! By the way, that's also another fangirl line!

Look at the style! ♥ I'm so going to buy this one! Eeps!!

Umm! So, that's the end of my shopping list. Woah! That's way too big of a list. Guess I went a little overboard with excitement. Now, I seriously hope this excitement stays till I actually finish my real shopping.

Anyway, I'm actually waiting to own every single one of these. Because they are not only beautiful themselves, but I'm pretty sure they'll make me look more beautiful as well.

Last but not the least, Thanks a lot Indiblogger and Shoppers Stop for giving me this wonderful opportunity to go crazy about shopping. You might have actually turned this shopping-hating-girl to a I-can-shop girl. Thank you so much.

They say when you meet the person you are always meant to be with, you would have met your soul-mate. Then why didn't they know it from the beginning?

 Maybe, life had its own plan for them.

This is the story about a Boy & Girl, who met each other at a very young age and were nothing but friends. They grow up, leave their schools, choose different subjects and different colleges. As they didn't live in a cellphone era, they lost touch.

As time moves on, they fall in love, break up, finish their studies, get jobs, and finally learn to be independent. Now the only thing left is marriage! To start a new family and enter into a new life altogether.

As the 2 families begin searching for a suitable bride and groom for their children, A chance meeting of these friends took place in a mutual friend's wedding.

Neither one knew that this meeting would change their life forever.

Meet Nisha & Prem, who tried to find love in every wrong person, while the right one was in front of them from the beginning. They go through a roller coaster life and finally end up where they started, next to each other, just like when they were kids.

Would "one" meeting in a friend's marriage change everything forever? It all rests in their hands!

My Review:
Well, when I first saw this book up for review, the thing that pulled me was the book cover. It looked batman-ish and the dark shaded thing just impressed me. When I read the title, I thought it was something related to banking, and as I'm a commerce student I thought I could review it, but then I read the synopsis and found out that it was something really different. I really wanted to read this book and jumped in joy when I actually received it.
By the time the book reached me, the name and fame of the book was spread far and wide.

The beginning had me hooked, Everything seemed so mysterious. But as I read on and on, the book got a bit boring. It seemed as if the author had just ranted out something really boring, but after those few pages, the story took up a high end again. 



Even though the book is addictive and can get you hooked, the only lack is the the pace at which the story moves. It seems as if everything is rushed. The story moves so fast that if you are not concentrating well enough you might have to go back and read again. It can get a bit confusing as people wouldn't really bother reading those 15-20pages in the middle.

All in all, its a good story. I'm reading his book for the first time, and I am really happy with his work. I am thinking about reading his other books as well now. A very well job done by Mr. Ravi Subramanian.

Once again, thank you so much Blogadda for giving me another opportunity to review an awesome book.
