Only Wheat Not White 

by 

Varsha Dixit 

The Blurb

What if the one you completely love is the one you simply can't! Twenty-six-year-old Eila Sood moves to America to mend fences with her estranged older sister, Sheela. Eila and the rest of the family in India had cut off ties with Sheela after she married Steve Jacobs, 'out of caste, and out of color'. Elia soon realizes that Sheela's marriage is on the rocks. To help pay Sheela's household bills, Eila takes a second job at an afternoon strip club. When she crosses paths with the owner, the handsome Brett Wright or 'blue-eyed ogre' as Elia calls him, he both infuriates and fascinates her. Brett turns out to be her reluctant and unquestionably sarcastic knight in shining armor. As Eila and Brett spend more time together their desire for each other builds. However, when Brett discovers the true reason for Eila's refusal he storms out of her life, accusing her of being a prejudiced coward. Will Eila find the courage to break stereotypes and embrace her love? Will Brett find solace in the arms of his ex-girlfriend Cate? Will Sheela and Steve divorce? All of these questions and more are answered in Varsha Dixit's latest and humorous and steamy love story.


                                                                      Book Review : 
Only Wheat Not White  by Varsha Dixit is American -Indian romance .Which is  written in a very wonderful manner by Author Varsha  .I  have read many romantic  novels  , but there is something different about this book  .
The Title of the book is quiet catchy .Brett character  is quiet interesting. 
The emotions and prejudiced behavior of the lead  protagonists are well portrayed .

Me thinks : Only Wheat Not White is a recommended read to all.

My Analysis : The story could have been stretched little more .

My Ratings :5 <3 <3<3<3<3

Meet the Author

I'm the author of four books and the genre that I write is contemporary romance. Penning stories defines and completes me.I thinks of myself as a borderline obsessive-compulsive dreamer who thinks deep but writes light. A true ‘feel good’ junkie seeking quick fixes, I love a good laugh and a good book. A voracious reader of who dunit mysteries and legal dramas, I did sit down to pen a book on serial killers but finding it impossible to maim or kill anyone, even on paper, I penned a romantic story instead. Thus, I found my true calling – at least for the time being.Even though creativity is gender free, I feel blessed and enriched to be a woman.
Currently, with my family, I'm settled in the US.

Interview with a Dreamer

Please welcome Namarata aka Privy Trifles the writer of  a classical  yet a sweet and soulful romantic novel called 'Metro Diaries to our blog today .

There were few questions that had been  bothering me for  sometime  , but Author Namarata has effective cleared my doubts in this regards .So shall we start with interview ? hmmm :-)

1. Describe yourself in three words?.

Obnoxious. Dependable. Hyper sensitive.
2. Please share your love recipe with us ?.

A pinch of dreams, a dash of hope mixed into a huge bowl of magic. Garnished with hugs and a topping of kisses.

Sounds mushy right? ;)

3. What defines you as a person ?

All that has happened in life. Good. Bad. Ugly. Worst. Beautiful. Everything defines me as a person.  The people I met, the places I have travelled, the books I have read... they all me me what I am today. and yes I need to add, absolutely no regrets. I am glad I did all that for I wouldn't want to change anything from my life the way it is right now. 

4. Namrata , Could you share with us a special moment that inspired you to write 'Metro Dairies '?
Metro Diaries was born in my dreams. One night after a long hectic week I was mentally trying to remember all that happened during the week.  I noticed so any budding love stories in them. And as I thought about them they made me smile. That is when I decided this smile needs to be shared. I anyways wanted my writing to touch a heart, leave a smile and make a difference.

5. According to you what is true love and how to recognize it ?

True love is where you are you more than anywhere else and yet you are loved, cared for and respected.

Nope. you cannot recognise love.  Love recognizes you . All you need to do is keep your heart open, allowing it to enter and that happens when you believe in dreams, hope and magic. 

Thank you Namarata for taking  time out from your busy schedule and to speak about 'Love' which is  one of my favorite topic .

This interview is hosted by me via TBC

                                                   Book Review :

Metro Diaries by Namarata is a book of classical romances .Each story is meaningful and from there we can learn  many lessons for our lives and growth  that can be put into practice. This book consists of 20 blissful romantic story .Ranging from childhood romances - compatible romances .
Why I  termed blissful romances "Because it is indeed that ". While I was reading,  I went  through a  romantic journey where I   saw myself among those led characters .

My Analysis : The cover of book  could have been colorful like TBC BLOG TOUR POSTER .The black and white combination did not attract  me , but the heart shaped bookmark with a blue stone on it's top   attracted  my attention a lot  

Me Thinks : Metro Dairies by Namarata is wonderful book to read because  

• The forward is awesomely written  
• Each story reflects the different aspects of romance .
• And the quotes or poems  written by Namarata before the start of each and  every story is  really mind blowing  to read .

Highly recommended to all especially  the day -dreamers  who dream of having a perfect life .

Tales of N and V Part Fifteen @Monday Musing

Pushkari stop it yaar ! Vishal shouts and mutters a curse through his gritted tooth  .Hearing his words Pushkari is stunned and turns her head fast .Rubbing the  tears off her cheeks quickly  , she asks him "What did you say ?.You and Preeti..... what ?, from when you and Preeti   started talking to each other  .

Hmm  since a  very long time  and....Your family is  reconsidering Preeti and my relationship and is planning  for  our marriage too  .It can't be possible and even if it happen , I  won't allow you and Preeti to be happy forever  ."Who are you to say this ?and what will you do dear ..Pushkari "Vishal queered .

Nothing ....she said feeling little bit hurt .
Suddenly Vishal started to laugh at her .Winking at his daughter , he summons her  to bring her grand parents and her aunt .His daughter obliges him by bringing Vikram , Namrata and Preeti to-gather so that they can see "What their daughter Pushkari was attempting to do ?" .

Preeti gets little perturbed and leaves the place by saying 'For no rhyme or reason Vishal calls us here grhh...' Words of Preeti hit them hard .

V as a good father understands Preeti's emotions. Tapping N's hands, he calls out Preeti ."Chalo N  let's go and find out Preeti  now" he says .

Vishal who knows  why Preeti left the place abruptly feels ashamed of his actions and forces himself to withdraw from Pushkari hold and leaves to the place where Preeti normally sits when she is uspet .

Preeti who sitting on the Marve beach ,  cries a lot  over a photo.She  is spotted by her parents .V and N  taking her face in their palms they   chorused "Our daughter Preeti knows the art of  loving and forgiving others for their mistakes like us"
'Ma.... Pa ... you are great in making people feel good about themselves  '  Preeti said this  by hugging them one by one  with Vishal looking at them with  his delightful eyes

NEW RELEASE:  A DOG EAT DOGFOOD WORLD 
BY  
SURESH CHANDRASEKARAN

Blurb 

A hilarious pseudo-history of marketing management, which explicitly denies resemblance to any actual history, and which will be horrified if some semblance be found. The story of a man who discovered that the path of life is strewn with treadmills and, if you get on one by mistake, you could keep running all your life to stay in the same place. The story of how a businessman may just be minding his…err…business and the ‘Invisible Hand’ can cause unexpected consequences to arise out of his innocent actions. There is no point blaming the tale for being exaggerated because that is precisely what it seeks to be – an ‘exaggeratio ad absurdum’ of some facets of the world. Anything you learn from the book – be it the basics of marketing management or a satirical view of Society – you do at your own risk.

The tale only dogs the doings of:

Spike Fortune who only sought to feed dogs and, later, sought more dogs to feed.

Jerry Fortune who, being fortuneless, gets dragged helter-skelter behind his uncle Spike in the latter’s careening pursuit of commercial success and gets sandwiched between Spike and..

Tyke who was Spike’s resident genius on enticing dogs with their wares. He also has to help Spike in his rivalry with..

Tom Rich, who is unwillingly dragged into upstaging Spike and tries to do it by teasing the palates of cats, helped by the bumbling efforts of..

Jasper Rich who would rather be partying than chasing cats with cat-foods.

Meet The Characters

Spike Fortune, who, being unable to justify his existence by making money, is obsessed with justifying his existence by spending all his inherited wealth. Lead into the paths of commerce, he discovers that, while it may seem attractive to set out to lose money, the natural consequence of having people consider him a loser was indigestible. Having set out to feed dogs, Spike becomes obsessed with feeding more dogs and, later, having more dogs to feed.

Jerry Fortune, who discovers that there are perils to having your livelihood depend on a benevolent uncle. Tied to his uncle’s coat-tails by a need for sustenance, he is dragged helter-skelter behind Spike in the latter’s careening progress in pursuit of commercial success. Having first been a mere interpreter between his uncle, Spike, and the resident marketing guru, Tyke, he later finds that being in the middle can get very uncomfortable, indeed.

Tom Rich, who had never realized that the easy contempt he had for his schoolboy acquaintance could prove so dangerous. Spike’s meteoric rise in the world of Commerce puts him in a position of either having to prove himself better or have all that contempt come back with usurious interest. He drags his nephew, Jasper, along in pursuit of teasing the palates of cats.

AND MORE....

All that Spike and Tom had wanted was to be a winner in their respective businesses and, more importantly, in their own private game of one-upmanship. They had no idea that their humble quest would redraw the contours of Society and set in place principles that both businessmen and Society would live by.

Meet the Author

Fiction has been an addiction but the need to make a living took Suresh through Chemical Engineering and a PGDM at IIM-Bangalore and, from thence, to a long 16 year stint in the area of finance with specific expertise in fertilizer subsidies and a further two years as consulting expert in the same area. That, in his words, about sums up the boring part of his life, except for the people he was privileged to meet.

Otherwise, he can be described as a mess of contradictions – a bookworm but avid trekker; alone but never lonely; enjoys solitude but loves company; lazy but a perfectionist, the litany is endless. Trekking, which side-tracked him from the writing for which he quit his job, is a major passion and he does, at least, one trek in the Himalayas every year in addition to numerous local treks.

He reignited his passion for writing with a fairly popular blog www.jambudweepam.blogspot.in. The blog has been rated among the Top 5 humour blogs in India, twice in succession - in 2014 and 2015 - by BlogAdda, and has also been listed third among the Top Humour Blogs by Baggout.

He also has a short story published in a collection “Uff Ye Emotions” and has edited and written a novelette in an ebook anthology “Sirens spell danger”
