KAVACH OF SURYA

Karna the Mrityunjay

 Before I review the book I would like to admit that I do not frequently read or review fiction books, having said that I want to say I did not regret one bit of my decision to read this book.

 The story of the protagonist who embarks on the journey to retrieve the Kavach and Kundal of his Mahapurush is a great example of how sometimes the journey is in itself more rewarding than the destination. The protagonist rises up to the challenge of finding one of the most potent weapons that humankind has ever seen and stops them from falling into wrong hands.


The author has beautifully woven together the characters from the past and the present that sometimes, it is hard to believe that they do not belong to the same time period. One of the things that reached out to me was the humanity in the heroism of the protagonist, he is pushed down multiple times. Wherein he doubts himself if the hunt is really worth it but every time he picks himself RIGHT up and continues his journey. Also, the role of the scientist is amazing which is really heartwarming, the moment you realise who he is. The book is really good read for anyone who is interested in fiction, mythology and mystery.

The Kaoboys of R&AW: Down Memory Lane

Research & Analysis Wing (India's External Intelligence Agency) A rare and first-hand view into the workings of the most secretive government agency Research & Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency.  The book written by a retired R&AW officer B Raman who spent more than 3 decades working for the agency right from its inception in 1968, provides a detailed insight into the workings of R&AW and its work and relations with the Intelligence Bureau, Ministry of External Affairs and other foreign intelligence agencies. The book derives its name from its first chief R.N. Kao and the officers under him who were the cause of its success and came to be known as "Kao boys of R&AW". The book is in chronological order of the author's service in R&AW and the most outstanding thing about the book is how objectively it is written and by that, I mean the author has rightly praised but has also criticised various people right from the chief ...

An Extraordinary Life: A Biography of Manohar Parrikar

An extraordinary book on the life of an extraordinary Indian This would be perhaps in my humble opinion the best single-line review of the book. Ever since Parrikar Ji became the defense minister of India with his simple living and a man known to get the job done, I have been intrigued by him. So when it came to choosing my next book I actively scouted for books on him and by far this book was the highest recommended. The moment you start reading the book you are struck by two things the objectivity of the authors and how well written the book is. On the objectivity part while reading the book it gives a 360-degree view of Mr. Parrikar and it gives the good and the bad about him in a completely subjective manner, without shying away from the shortcomings of the 4-time chief minister of Goa. On how well the book is written the authors have kept the language simple enough for the public to read while also using the appropriate words while required, which the reader may sometime need to l...

BALIDAN: Stories of India’s greatest para special operations

Men apart every man an emperor. Perhaps this single line by field marshal Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery best describes the special forces, which are the most elite and best soldiers of the Indian Army. These men undergo the harshest training there is in the world for soldiering. Having read the fantastic book “The force behind the forces” I was looking forward to reading this book by the author. I would be losing if I were to say that the book lives upto the expectations.  The book narrates the stories of the brave  Indian special forces operatives. Some of the heroes from these stories are well known in the popular media (YouTube, Instagram ) like Brigadier Saurabh Singh Shekhawat while the others live a quiet life away from all the limelight. The stories in themselves are thrilling and make you go in awe about these men in maroon. However the way the book is written, seems to have been rushed through and is not refined. So my recommendation would be to read t...
