Ramachandra Series (Review series) Amish Tripathi The 'Ramachandra' series is a Indian-Mythological fiction tetralogy by Amish Tripathi. This is the author's second book series.The four books in the series are respectively given in order : Ram : Scion of Ikshvaku Sita : Warrior of Mithila Raavan : Enemy of Aryavarta War of Lanka And let me warn you in advance this is not the Ramayana you believe in or are familiar with. Be ready for an ignored Ram, a resilient Sita and a man-who-turned-into-evil-cause-he-lost-the-love-of-his-life Raavan. And hence I welcome you to my first review series... Ram : Scion of Ikshvaku “Swagruhe Pujyate Murkhaha; Swagraame Pujyate Prabhuhu ,Swadeshe Pujyate Raja; Vidvaansarvatra Pujyate. A fool is worshipped in his home. A chief is worshipped in his village.

The Palace Of Illusions CHITRA BANERJEE DIVAKARUNI "Can't you ever be serious?' I said, mortified. 'It's difficult,' he said.'There's so little in life that's worth it." -Draupadi & Krishna Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's "The Palace Of Illusions" is based on the "Mahabharata".

THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS A Stirring Masterpiece of Memory, Love, and Loss Arundhati Roy "D’you know what happens when you hurt people?" Ammu said. "When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. That’s what careless words do. They make people love you a little less." These hauntingly beautiful lines from Arundhati Roy’s 1997 Booker Prize-winning novel The God of Small Things echo the emotional undercurrents that define the story — raw, unflinching, and heartbreakingly human. Set in Ayemenem, a village in Kottayam, Kerala, the novel intricately weaves the fragmented lives of fraternal twins Estha and Rahel.

But beneath the surface of familial affection and cultural pride lies the unyielding grip of societal norms...
