📚 BOOK REVIEW
The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay
by Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi

The Lost Flamingoes of Bombay is written by Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi. It is a contemporary fiction which focuses upon the modern city of Mumbai and the people residing there.

The main protagonist is Karan, who is a new comer in Mumbai starts his career as a photographer. He dreams of capturing the city life in through his lenses. He makes new friends in the city but one day his life suddenly takes a sharp turn when one of his friend is found murdered.

The real beauty of Bombay is captured within this story. We get the real feel of Mumbai through this novel, the bustling streets, the busy roads, golden sands on beach, high rise buildings, glamour world, nightlife etc. We also witness the harsh reality of the glamour city.

The novel is captivating and highlights upon the themes of love, loss, acquaintance, friendship, betrayal, glamour and charm of Mumbai. The author writing style is raw and crisp. It provides a rich reading experience. It is a thought provoking book which resonates with the readers. At times I found the pace of the story slow. A deeply emotional story which explores the complexities of human connections and relationships.

The novel has a strong impact on the readers as it stays on our mind for long after we finish reading it.

  *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.
