Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas to my dear readers.

Its the most perfect day followed by perfect weather to celebrate the day of happiness, kindness, gifts sharing and joy among one another, be it among strangers or your loved ones. And mind it, this is the one such festival that is not celebrated by Christians only but is also celebrated among all the religions around the world.

Review #575: Lost in Terror by Nayeema Mahjoor



My rating: 4 of 5 stars


“Authority without wisdom is like a heavy ax without an edge, fitter to bruise than polish.”

----Anne Bradstreet



Nayeema Mahjoor, an Indian writer, pens a terrific and gripping tale of one woman and an Indian state fighting against injustice of the government and the so-called society's norms that oppressed the freedom of both, in her new book, Lost in Terror. Here the author weaves a sad and heart breaking story of a daughter of the valley disrupted by war and this woman gets caught up between the crossfires from both ends, one fighting for freedom and the other oppressing the rebellions.
