Love Chemistry (Book Review)

Love Chemistry by Shubham Arora is a short & sweet book.. The  plot is set in a high school atmosphere where the story revolves around the lives of young 17 somethings, Advaita Rahul Manu, Parv and their respective girl friends..In a typical school scene, the young boys are rebellious for studies, and like all boys at their age, love is in their heads too... So the story goes, that these guys meet at school, and turn out to become the best of friends, and what follows is an exiting and enthralling 150 pages of the love chemistry and its associated reactions ofcourse...! It is a pleasant read, takes you back to the time you were 17 and in love... 

However, the negative aspect of the book is, the story is very predictable,  and the English is ordinary.. Accepted that it is the first book of the author, but, somewhere, the words lacked the punch in it.. The Author has a long way to go, and i sure hope, he comes up with something more exiting in the future...   
Overall, My Review.. Love Chemistry- Average... but go for it.. for some nostalgic moments awaits you...  you can order the book from http://www.flipkart.com/books/8183520898


I won this book in the 'Author in Talks initiative of Cupid Speaks- An Online Youth Magazine...  Cupid Speaks is an online youth Magazine, acts as a platform for the youth to showcase their  talent in appreciating and recognizing   their work... The Author in talks initiative of Cupid Speaks is one of its kind way of promoting the work of upcoming authors.. The Author is interviewed by Cupid, and then, there is a contest organised by Cupid for its 'cupiders' and a hand picked few get a chance to win a copy of the book.... I think Cupid Speaks is setting benchmarks in its activities, which is creating waves in the industry..I wish them the best of luck, may they grow to become something phenomenal...

The World we live in

breathe for a moment for all dats left
never know what the future might just bring
in this world full of murder, rape and theft
we try to believe but we are left falling

sons are lost and children are dead
for the good of the country all dats said
but it wont be forgotten and wont be forgiven 
for in the name of war mothers lost their children

lonely nights left cold and weak
hardly enough breath left to speak
not a morsel for days and hes in the streets
life for this kid is indeed very bleak 

we pray to god everytime we desire sumthn we need
what about those kids who cant find enough food to eat
tonight i'll pray for those who know what  has been
tonight i'll pray for a change in the world we live in..

I think, these days, people are too concerned and worried about their inner circle, that more often than not, they get confined to their self set limits. So that is where their thinking also ends, and their inner circle is all they care about and live for. Their life is all about, me and the things that affect me..


Its funny how, 2000 rupees looks inexpensive while buying a new pair of shoes, and 2 rupees is so valuable when it comes to giving to a beggar
Its funny how, people cry at the pain of their friends and family, and barely a look of sympathy to people whom they don't care about
Its funny how, food is wasted in your households, where half the world is dying of starvation
Its funny how, people bargain to save 50rupees to eat n drink junk, to eventually spend 5000 on medicines to bail them out of their health issues.
Its funny how, apparently 'old fashioned' clothes are thrown away in the dustbin or used as cleaning cloths, where children in the street have none to cover their body.


I want to live in a world where people are dancing and playing in the rain in unity, without any class, cultural, racial or social divide. 
I want to live in a world where people take the world as their home, and not just their apartment
I want to live in a world, where, there is equality, brotherhood & friendship
I want to live in a world, where there is no religion, no boundaries, no country
I want to live in a world. where there is love
I want to live in a world, where there is no God
I want to live in a world, where people see the 'God" within each other, and respect and fear that, and not any external source of power
I want to live in a world where people are happy!


I want to live in a world, where people are living as human beings and not some blood hungry hounds chasing money, power, post or whatever. I just want to live in a happy & content world. It maybe a just a dream, but this is what i wish for, and i will do my best to do my bit to change the world i live in at the moment. And i am not the only one, who is taking an oath like this, check out the following video, to see the effort of this insirational man, who wants to create a change in the society. And to him, I salute..! Sir, you are truly an inspiration and a  big motivation. 


So, i urge my readers, please look beyond your lives.. Expand your circle, Think big.. Don't categorize people are friends and 'others'.. Feel for everyone.. Wake up to social issues.. Don't just talk about the change you want to see, rather as Gandhiji said, Be the change you want to see.. And even the smallest of effort can take flight to provide a big impact.. 

We Want Justice!

October 20th:

A day when two guys or should i say two HEROES  Keenan Santos & Reuben Fernandez stood up to protect their friends..They stood up against  something they cant tolerate. They stood up for what is right... and what did they get for it?  DEATH..! They were stabbed to death in cold blood!

Is this what happens to people who stand up for something good? What kind of a democracy are we living in?


Its been more than a week & no action has been taken against them! Police started taking this case seriously only after the youth of the nation has ignited.

Why does it always happen that the police & the government start the work only when they're pushed by the 'aam janta'? Why don't they start investigating as soon as the crime takes place? There are so many questions unanswered. 

Women are still not respected in this male dominated country. Any random guy walks up to a girl & pass lewd comments. These men just think that women are weak & always target them. Keenan and Rueben were the MEN who couldn't tolerate such non sense..

Are you supporting the 'No Tolerance' campaign?  
http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/zero-tolerance-campaign.html  Or Are  you simply staying back only because it didn't happen to you? Life is unpredictable. You never know what's coming your way. Keenan always said, "ladne ke liye jaan ki nahi, Jigarr ki zarrorat hoti hai.."

Let us find that jigarr in us that our friend Keenan always talked about..Let us stand united and  fight for Keenan & Reuben. Let us stand united and fight for justice. Just like all of us showed solidarity in the Jessica Lal Murder case, we need to do something similar to get these ruthless hooligans behind bars for the rest of their lives... Cmon guys, lets show the country, what miracles young blood can achieve..! i for one, solemnly swear, I WILL FIGHT FOR THE JUSTICE TILL THE END.. have you taken the oath yet?? Join the ZERO TOLERANCE campaign, and be a part a voice in this nation's scream for justice! 

Keenan santos, and Reuben Fernandez, u have lit a spark and we will turn this spark into a rage fire, which will burn the legal system down to ensure that you rest in peace..!
