When Hari Met His Saali by Harsh Warrdhan

Hi Y'all

I hope you all are enjoying the winter season .Today to beat this cold I got a very happening book review .

Last Month I got  a book" When Hari Met His Salli"  by Harsh Warrdhan from Harlequin India 's website  as i am  inquisitive by nature so any book written known -unknown author I buy the book to find out what sort of story he /she has written it .


Why I bought this book ? Because of two reasons


  1. The tittle of book is quiet catchy
  2. The Author  being a male I wanted how he has perceived  the term/word 'Romance' as 

I had finished reading the book in one go  and today Iam reviewing the book . Of course I know its too late but never too late .

OK then I will start it write now ....  I bet Y'all that you will enjoy reading  the post as well book if you all buy it



                                 About the book :
    


Tia was in love with her career and her lifestyle in USA .And she was madly in love with Hari but where was romance she craved for?Simi her younger sister was left behind in a small town in India who hadn't seen her sister for years and who didn't know what did she really want out of her life ?and she was a dreamer
And there was Hari who was Straight forward and uncomplicated  as he had very thing in his life  which everyone man desires   (to have good job, successful wife  etc cc...)
Their was love story that was never going to be conventional  but what happened to Hari and Tia  was something that wasn't expected to happen

Mix between the two sisters one clueless man with a bad history  from a wacky triangle and you get cautionary lesson in how you should be careful of what you wish for in name of love

Set in Los Angeles and Nagpur , India 'When Hari Met his Saali ' is a funny fresh and outrageous look at younger people , their dreams, longings  aches and heartbreaks . Its a fascinating take on grand idea of love and reality of romance in an Breezy and Humors way .


                    My Views:

When Hari Met his Salli is an excellent book written by a very brilliant author called 'Harsh Warrdhan 'The author has written the story very well in realistic way  .

The Author has weaved  the characters in  a very artistic way that will make you fall in love with them.The story line is very well thought off .

I like all three characters Tia, Simi and Hari  especially Hari  because he is a confused guy  who doesn't know what to choose and what not to choose

Harsh has described  the emotions of all the characters in a very well in a realistic way especially Tia and Simi fight with each other over Hari , the dialogues are good . The story is quiet entertaining  .

  When I started reading the book I couldn't keep the book down until I finished reading the book .

The book reflects the perception of all  the men flock  in the regard of love and romance .This book all reminds me of my brother asking me a question "Do ideas of comes from Movie and magazines" but before I could even say/ comment    .He just said I don't believe whatever its written in magazine/whatever studies say  I just   believe in 'Be Original(whatever sort of person your are) and not to fake '  theory  .Just like what Hari feels about love and romance

                        A Report by Rukma Naik Sadekar



The Premiere!

Speechless! Spellbound! Touched! Uplifted! Overwhelming! Inexplicable was the experience of watching 'On a Quest', the docu-drama produced by Chinmaya Creations on the life and mission of Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayananda. The two hour docu-drama directed by noted Director R S Prasanna very succinctly brings to life the journey of the young atheist Balakrishna Menon as he transforms from being a fiery revolutionary, sceptical academician, questioning journalist into a seeker with an ardent Quest for the Truth finally becoming a visionary Master carrying the message of the Rishis to the masses across the world. The entire project was led by Swami Mitrananda, Acharya Chinmaya Mission Chennai and director of All India Chinmaya Yuva Kendra who is well known for ably carrying out

The movie premiere was held at Sathyam Cinema (Chennai) on the morning of 15th December 2015 in the presence of Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda, Global Head of Chinmaya Mission, senior acharyas, young and old devotees from across India and from abroad, the main actors and the technical team behind the movie. The program began with a brief introduction by Swami Mitrananda.

After the movie screening the actors, donors and the team behind the making of the movie were felicitated by Pujya Guruji who presented each one with a memento. Choked beyond words Guruji barely managed to mouth that he was speechless. He especially appreciated the work of Swami Mitrananda who led the project from start to finish including the writing of the script.

The movie has been very well received. Not an eye was left dry by the end. Here are a few of the heartwarming comments received -

An eye wetting experience as we journeyed through Gurudev's Quest brought alive by the devotees. - Swami Swaroopananda

It is a brilliant movie, excellently conceived, thoroughly brought out, with actors mostly resembling the original real life characters. It captured the hearts of the viewers and turned them emotional and devotional. Congratulations to one and all. Swami Mitranandaji's efforts are specially very laudable. In the end I would only say - "HE DID IT... AGAIN". Jai Gurudev.
Swami Chidrupananda

Beyond words such was the experience seeing ON A QUEST. Our Pranams and heartiest congrats to our Swami Mitrananda.
Jaya Melwani, Jakarta

Hari Om! Swamiji, thank you for making us delve into such emotional depths! No words would be enough so won't say much... Loved the one liners - will contemplate on them.
Nirmal Bharwani, Singapore

Thank you Swamiji....for making us part of thy gift to Him. Very grateful to thee!

So beautiful and touching! Cried the whole way through. Kudos! To the whole team and our beloved Swami Mitrananda.

The documentary was very well done and quite impressive. I am sure Pujya Gurudev will be happy in heaven. Hearty congrats.

His Runaway Royal Bride by Tanu Jain

Hi Y'All 

Good Evening 

His Runaway Royal  Bride  is second serving  of  Tanu Jain .The story is about Maharaja Veer Singh of Samogpur  and his wife Meethi who vanishes from his life and how he brings back into his life by banishing all her fears  which forced her to runaway.

            



                          The Burb:  

When Maharaja Vidhyamaan Veer Singh of Samogpur beautiful young wife vanished three year ago everyone thought she was dead .When Veer discovers she's actually alive and well he's determined to bring her back home to her duty.....

Meethi loved Veer passionately but felt shacked in the role of his wife .When Veer Demands her return she must obey but being back by his side is heaven and hell .Because ,despite their new -found happiness ,secrets from the past still linger .And Meethi know that they will threaten to destroy everything............


My views :

 Tanu Jain  books are worth reading  over and over as she has described the places  very well especially 'Bavdi Mahal' in such a way that  makes you fall  in love with those places  .The Author has  portrayed the situation  very well  and designed the characters with lot of ease


Tanu  Jain has described the emotion of characters with a lot eloquence . I like Veer and Meethi characters because they are unique in their own way .She is full of life  whereas he is brooding  man .

The Author has described  Veer 's changing emotions towards Meethi   in a wonderful  manner .She has also  described the behaviour of  other supporting character in an authentic  way like Maaji Saheb sneering looks and the harsh condemning words which she uses on Meethi .The bedroom scenes are bit    explicit and some will find it hard to accept it



Tanu Jain uses some Philosophical theories  of life  in between their romances  . I liked it because its very difficult to use these theories  in  an romance novel but she has done this job with ease .The story is quiet simple,the dialogues are very well written  and the pace of story is 'OK ' 

I give four and half star to this book .Highly recommended to all .

This book is total entertainer   as you won't be able to keep the book down until you finish it 

Hope you enjoy reading this Review  

With Warm Hugs 

Take Care of yourselves  be good & be jolly


XoXo
