BLURB


A diamond like no other, a curse like no other…


This is the story of the world’s largest diamond—Aasma-i-Noor (sky of light). This rare red jewel of incomparable beauty surpassed its sister stones—Koh-i-Noor (mountain of light) and Darya-i-Noor (sea of light)—all mined from the same womb of the Kollur mine in Golconda. This was a diamond with a far more violent history than her sisters. Her existence was zealously guarded down the ages by a select circle. Over time, even her name disappeared from all historical texts, bards’ tales and living memory itself. The modern-day search for the lost jewel begins in two different corners of the world, involving a British research scholar in London and an Indian historian in Calcutta. The British scholar finds mention of the Aasma-i-Noor in the documents left behind by Sir Robert Clive. The historian from India is the descendant of a Raja, who was Clive’s friend and confidante. The Battle of Plassey in 1757, the downfall of Nawab Siraj-ud Daulah, the death of Clive and the treachery of Mir Jafar, all combine to create a maze of cryptic clues and devilish dead ends for the unlikely partners. They plough forward, and just when the end is in sight, an implacable adversary threatens everything.

  📚 BOOK REVIEW  There are basically two types of people in the world. One who is self-satisfied with the achievements they have and another who is in the conquest to win the whole world, for them the sky is the limit.  The author of the book Unemployable has set an example for the entire world.

  🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 📚 Book Review Title : Echoes of Gasping Souls Author : Gurucharan Singh Gandhi Language : English Edition : Kindle Pages : 211 💫 The onset of 2020 brought us more pain than pleasure. It was the year when the countries around the globe witnessed nationwide lockdown. Humanity was at war with the unseen virus. Everyone person had a different experience during the lockdown. Mostly people were locked down with their family and loved ones. But not everyone had that much luck. Some people were locked at awkward places with strange peoples. 💫 The author weaves a gripping tale which revolves around four or rather we can say five strangers who are unknown to each other. Sitam - a Nepali who was an indian bureaucrat, Manoj - an engineer, Razia - muslim married to a hindu, Kulwant Kaur - an old lady on solo trip and Sunil - the hotel manager were all struck in the Hotel Landmark due to the pandemic. They were forced to live together against their will which they hated the most....

Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda

  *Title: Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda* In Whispers of the Blue Ghost, Pratikshya Panda invites readers to step quietly into a landscape shaped by memory, longing, and the ever-shifting contours of loss. This evocative poetry collection is not a loud lamentation of grief, but rather a soft, persistent whisper—an intimate exploration of what it means to hold on to the past while learning to let go. At the heart of each poem in this book lies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Pratikshya’s poems do not overwhelm with complex language or abstract metaphors. Instead, they whisper truths with a gentleness that lingers long after the final poem has been read. There’s an amount of restraint that allows each image—whether it be water, bone, star, or shadow—to resonate deeply, creating an atmosphere where the reader can feel both grounded and suspended, real and dreamlike. The recurring imagery ...
