The lack of good fantasy fiction popping from the Indian land urged Mr. Anurag Bhatt to foray into the challenging domain of fantasy story-telling. Krishna and the Lake of Souls is a debut novel of Anurag Bhatt, belonging to the world of fantasy fiction. Though the attempt should be appreciated but those words of appreciation are enervated as the writing misses the mark by quite a margin.

Just as I was finishing the lost symbol, a friend of mine asked me – “Is that the book where something is written on the obelisk?” My tongue in cheek reply was, “It’s Dan Brown, isn’t there always something written on the obelisk?”

Bridget Jones’ Diary brought in a whole new “type” of chick-lit. A type where the heroine (who is also most often the narrator) is an oval in a round peg or a rectangle in a square peg – just a wee bit off size and very slightly off shape, but essentially a very definite part of the 68.5% that are supposed to be average.

“The test of my life is a story in my own words. It is about my toughest days and how I managed to come out of it. It is about hope, determination and courage to face challenges despite all odds. And believe me, we all have the strength to do it. So keep it up and keep your dreams alive and never give up. God Bless.” – Yuvraj Singh.
Right from the famous ad around the nineties "My Daddy Strongest" to till date "Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye", we have seen this father figure to stand by their kids like one good-n-strong wooden stick to make them sail though the woods and the storms.
Therefore, this time we have gone a bit out of the way to explore the love & gratitude of few of our authors towards their fathers and in doing so how do they visualize a fictitious cartoon character as their Big Daddy. Lets's hear them out and ya a very Happy Father's Day.

The first of Shiva Trilogy, Immortals of Meluha is based on the belief that perhaps the actions, deeds and karma are the only determining factors to metamorphose an ordinary man to a god like figure or god. Amish Tripathi in his book attempts to humanize the Hindu infinite 'Mahadev'-The God of Gods and the destroyer of evil with philosophy as its underlying thesis and with a refreshing take on mythology but fails miserably in the characterization of the protagonist itself and digresses from the related theories.
