The Goa Gambit | Gambling | Casino | Goa

 The Goa Gambit by Anurag Tripathi Book review: The casinos of Goa are fascinating for those who live in faraway areas. Even I wanted to know about the games and people's lives. I have heard of a lot of drug intake in keeping, trafficking, gambling, and power games. So, to satisfy my quest, I picked up a book that is full of casino life and the power games involved to keep your white-collar status intact. "The Goa Gambit" is an engaging and gripping read. The narrative hooked me from the beginning until the end. I was intrigued by each character's secrets and the adroit manner in which the author penned the narrative.  The story revolves around Anton, Jayesh, Pankaj and Ruby. Their lives have a deep and dark past that shaped their lives and they grew up as strong and heartless persons. The narrative takes the reader on a journey of scandals, deception, fake images,  Tripathi masterfully paints a vivid picture of the bustling casino scene in Goa, filled with power-hung

The Oath: Kalki’s Sivagamiyin Sabatham Retold by Preetha Rajah Kannan Book review: " The Oath" by Preetha Rajah Kannan is an enamouring retelling of " Sivagamiyin Sabatham ", blending history and fiction in a story loaded with adoration, war, and double-crossing.

Inspirational Musician Stories for Young Readers: How Musical Legends Overcame Adversity to Create Melodic Masterpieces for Kids & Teens  Randall Curry Book review: Music is an art that takes away depression. So listening to music is part of my life. But I was eager to know about musicians's life who alter other's lives. So I grabbed this book for myself and my kids to read about their shortcomings and work on it. This book provides a roadmap of their shortcomings and how they overcome them.  This book investigates the existence of performers across all media, from vocalists to makers to film music writers. They continued enduring and chasing after their objectives notwithstanding incomprehensible chances. They gained from their mix-ups and experimented constantly. Their energy for their work, way of dealing with their craft and commitment will fuel your own inventive excursion. I personally liked the story of Taylor Swift, Bach, Adele and Ed Sheeran.

The Mysterious Cave of Rampa: Legacy of Indian Freedom Fighters by Sravani Tammineni

 The Mysterious Cave of Rampa: Legacy of Indian Freedom Fighters by Sravani Tammineni Book review: The only thing that can be better (and I'm sure it'll be in the next book) is that the mysteries I felt were solved too quickly. Like it took the children very less time and effort to figure the clues out. But I guess it was needed to keep the pacing up. Yet I hope the author looks at it closely in the next installment. Looking forward to that one. Purchase  here .  @thecreativecircleofficial @sravanit_writes #tccreviews #tccbookreviews

The Killings in November by Rajesh Talwar

 The Killings in November by Rajesh Talwar Book review: The play examines the regular issues generally raising the development of defilement in Delhi. It is another play where the plot and mystery were completely dull. It really shocked me at many spots. The story begins with a scene at the Delhi Police headquarter where the police chief is holding a significant level gathering with the two renowned criminal investigators, Col. Ranjeet and Herlock Homes. The gathering examined the way that Delhi observes a colossal measure of murders in the long stretch of November. The executioner behind every one of the homicides has an exceptional style and is no conventional executioner. The executioner likewise has an alternate feeling of dressing style. From previous encounters, the executioner's next killing binge is set to start again in the long stretch of November. The executioner is pitiless, and the Delhi Police are compelled to look for outside help as India's driving analyst, Col.
