Book Title:  The Guardians of the Halahala Book 1 of The Vikramaditya Trilogy Author:  Shatrujeet Nath Publisher:  Jaico Books My Rating:  ***** About the Author: Besides exploring various business opportunities Shatrujeet Nath has written ad copy, and reported on business as a journalist and assistant editor at The Economic Times.  His first book, The Karachi Deception, was published in 2013. The Guardians of the Halahala, his second book, and the first in The Vikramaditya Trilogy series, was published in 2014. At present, he is writing The Conspiracy at Meru, the second volume of the trilogy.  Like a true blue Indian Mythology fan, one of the first few stories I grew up listening to and demanding of my mother to repeat every other day at bedtime, was that of the 'Sagar Manthan' or 'the Churning of the White Lake' as Shatrujeet Nath calls  it.

Book Title:  Pradyumna- Son of Krishna Author: Usha Narayanan Publisher: Penguin metro reads My Rating:  ***** About the Author: Usha Narayanan is a gold-medallist with a Master’s degree in English Literature.

What a coincidence! I just befriended Usha Narayanan at Facebook and found out that she's an extremely warm and positive person. So easy to talk to! It is interacting with such humble achievers that teaches you a thing or two about success..I quote- " we dont sprout horns cos we do something, do we? There are such luminous souls in the world and we can only aspire!" .- Usha Narayanan And then Penguin India sent me her latest book 'Pradyumna' for an early review. You can imagine how thrilled I must have been. And to top it all, this fantastic Tornado Giveaway also starts with her book. There must be some karmic connection between us. I believe so!
