By Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Published by Pan Macmillan The cover is extremely eye-pleasing. Mythology has always been a subject of doubt and belief since ages. Some doubt it to be mere stories, others believe it to be the proof of our birth and existence. This controversy has given birth to fiction mythology - a genre that always keeps us wondering about what must have happened.Mahabharat as a story is well known but still there are books written even today with newer perspectives and interpretations. What makes this particular book stand out is the voice and the person who narrates it, Draupadi. While the story has been told from multiple angles before, this book attempts to explore the story from Draupadi’s perspective, who is believed to be one of the strongest woman in Indian mythology.Author has taken one of the fundamental pieces of Indian literature and focused on the story of Panchaali. Narrating the events from Panchaali's perspective, author explores Panchaali's role in the conflict between the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Panchaali enters this world through a holy fire, an unwanted boon granted by the gods in addition to her brother, Dhristadhyumna, the child destined to kill their father's greatest enemy, Drauna. She marries the five Pandava brothers, the eldest of whom, Yudhisthir, bets and loses his kingdom to their cousins, Kauravas. After twelve years of exile in the forest, the cousin refuses to return the kingdom, and the Pandavas go to war against the Kauravas. The title does go with the storyline as the center of Panchaali’s life was her beloved Palace Of Illusions and it was also the reason for her emotion of vengeance towards the Kauravas. Highly recommended!

By Subrat Saurabh Published by Notion Press The story is a good blend of friendship, love, relationship, care, jealousy, etc. This is debut book of the author. Author has good writing style. Though the story feels predictable at times, then end is unique & unexpected and the book has good pace. Language is easy understandable. I liked the way the story has been framed. The story is about protagonists Abhimanyu and Naina. The story starts at the present day when Abhimanyu (30), who, is now a successful, well known, popular bestselling author (and an engineer as well), returns to his Engineering college to attend an Induction Program, that too after a decade. Coming back to this place brings back his old memories, his friends & his love: Naina. For Abhimanyu it was love at first sight. He confesses his love twice but gets rejected both the times. His friends try to help him, but will Naina realise how much Abhimanyu loves her? The setting of the story is very important,it brings out old school love and longing for love very well. But as its said, you cannot choose whom to love, you cannot just start loving or stop loving someone. This book very well portrays this aspect of love. Recommended read! #Bookreview #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #book #indianbookstagram #indianbookstagrammer #punebookstagramer #unitedbookstagram #bookobessed #bookishmind #bookish #booklover #bookaddicted #bookaddict #booknerd #Instagram #stutichangle #punekars #ontheopenroad #bookishpicture #indianbookblogger #indianblogger #bookpile #epicreads #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #mustread #greatread #readerofinstagramOn the open road
