0 Humpty Dumpty was pushed
I've never been a great fan of Hip Hop music but so when I read about this novel "Humpty Dumpty was pushed" calling itself a hip-hop noir mystery, I was like... This gotta be interesting!!!The book with a music industry setting is the debut novel of Marc Blatte. Humpty Dumpty is said to be the first of a series that will feature Blatte’s new character, NYPD Detective “Black Sallie Blue Eyes,” named such due to his “ice-blue” eyes and the color of his hair--and his personality. In fact every character in this novel has a nickname.

3 Palace of Illusion - A Review
After having read the review of Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni at Smitha’s blog, I ordered the book from the local library. The thickness of the volume, however, put me off. Until this morning.
I picked up the book, and only a few pages into the story, I could not… absolutely could not.. put it down. I took a couple of ‘essential’ breaks 
but was otherwise hooked onto it completely.

3 A cuppa at Tea Centre
When you happen to visit South Mumbai area, then there are a few “must visit” places – one of them being The Tea Centre. A nice and cozy restaurant located at the ground floor of Resham Bhavan, Churchgate; one minute walking distance from Churchgate station. If you are looking for some quiet moments and peace, then this is the place for you.

1 Ahh, the Smell, Mmm, the Taste: Foods of Calcutta (Kolkata)
On a wet, lonely and hungry evening, I find nothing more fascinating than dreaming about the wonderful food of my city, Calcutta (or Kolkata). The city only always thought to be a haven for sweets is, of course a perfect destination for that, but the spices rule too, along with the city's personal rendition of different food and cuisines.
Take Chinese cuisine, for instance. The biggie restaurants not withstanding, every road-side make-shift food-stalls or the small food joints are more likely to have Fried Rice with Chili Chicken/Paneer in their menus more often than the Pulao, made Bengali style.
11 Oh Shit! Not again!
We prefer not to use profanities in our N-zine posts, but this is the title of the book written by Mandar Kokate. It is his first novel, and it indeed leaves an impact on you; to an extent that when you read the last page of the book where the author promises to write a second book, you will say, "Oh Shit! Not again!".
3 Sister of My Heart
Author: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
ISBN: 978-0-552-99767-6
Ha! Where do I start from? I’m overwhelmed by reading this tale. A story of two cousin sisters, a family secret and an entire story of these girls’ lifetime-right from their birth to their motherhood.
1 Understanding Greatness
Great authors have a knack of explaining a concept in such a beautiful manner that you read his exposition again and again. Steven Covey explains in his book “The Leader in Me" '[How Schools and Parents Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time]’.... I quote...
