Tentang eBook ini

The book is a compilation of two short novels that have humour, adventure and suspense. The first novelette Chandrabhavan Triptibhavan is a romantic tale, which is entangled between the lives of two friends. The events are full of “what-next!” sort of surprises and rollicking humour.

Keshav is perpetually broke, which is preventing him from achieving his future romantic plans with Deepa. If only Madhav could listen to him, they both would be rolling in money. The twist in the tale is that Madhav’s girlfriend Kanta is scheduled to be married to Keshav, and that leaves a heartbroken Madhav roaming the gardens of Chandrabhavan, thinking dark thoughts and composing sad poems.
To unravel this complex knot, the foursome eventually manages to put their heads together to devise a plan in which the main roles are played by a whistle and a very large, yellow cucumber.
Laugh your guts out in this unusual story of love, romance and a very strange plot.
The second novelette Vishkanya is a thriller story of Sarita who grew up as an Armed Forces child.
Sarita is scared. Someone is tracking her, calling her at unusual hours with very personal details, and sending her similar emails. Sarita decides to go to a detective agency, then starts a roller-coaster of dark events, full of thrills and suspense.
