Reveal:
SANGITA'S
DILEMMA
by
Sundari
Venkatraman
Sneak
Peek
Sangita Sinclair was not always
this successful & passionate lady heading the NGO “Penn Urimai” for downtrodden, abused and
homeless women….
When Sangita catches the eye of
Gautam Sinclair she is a simple, homely girl; utterly unaware of her charms & capabilities. She has
the devil’s own time in overcoming her inhibitions, hesitation, and her family’s orthodox and outdated
rules before recognising her love for Gautam.
Will Gautam be able to solve
Sangita’s Dilemma or will she be forever trapped in her past?
About the author
Sundari Venkatraman has four
novels and a short story collection to her name. Sangita’s Dilemma is her sixth book. Her
books are self-published under the banner Flaming Sun and are often found on Amazon’s Top 100
Bestsellers’ Contemporary Romances list.
A great fan of Mills & Boon
romances over the past four decades, Sundari has always believed in ‘Happily Ever Afters’ and all her
books promise joyous endings.
Sangita’s Dilemma tells the story
of Sangita, a young widow from a conservative family in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Her parents wouldn’t hear
of widow remarriage and all hell breaks loose when a half-American falls in love with her and proposes
marriage. Sundari deals with different issues in society in her books without preaching anyone. The
characters speak for themselves.
The author says, “I wrote this
book with a lot of love and passion; I hope you enjoy reading it.”

Spotlight :Matches made in Heaven by Sundari Venkatraman
Matches
Made In Heaven
by
Sundari
Venkatraman
Sneak Peek
A collection of 13 romantic short
stories based in India; a culture rich country steeped in tradition. Inspiration struck me from newspaper
articles, TV shows and hearing people talk. The short stories are based on that fact that arranged
marriages thrive right alongside love matches in India.
1. Groomnapped is Ameya-Surekha’s story as a light romantic take on the serious issue of groom kidnappings.
2. Dark skin on a woman puts off men in general or so says the society. Beauty Is But Skin Deep is Nitin-Simran’s story that proves it wrong!
3. Ritu is twenty-five and wants to wait for her Prince Charming but her parents are desperate to arrange her wedding. Does she find her prince in An Arranged Match?
4. Dating Agencies are doing their best to get young people together to tie the knot. My friend Diti runs an informal one; inspiring the Red Rose Dating Agency.
5. A guy’s complaint about his fiancée of a few years dumping him after becoming successful in her film career felt like a rant to me. Chahti Hoon Tumhe is an ode to the successful actress.
6. Soumya actually lives life like Soul Mates but how many have the guts to? This, incidentally, is the first short story that I ever wrote.
7. Does Madeinheaven.com help bring Menka & Jeetu together with technology driven Matchmaking website?
8. I originally wrote Rahat Mili for an anthology; Rahat means ‘relief’ and is a name too. Read the story with the word in mind and it will fall in place.
9. Reema’s Matchmakers brings Arjun and Prisha together at a get-together through a matchmaking network. But will they get married?
10. Nikita wants Krish for a friend and not her husband. As The Reluctant Bride she manages to have her cake and eat it too.
11. Shweta Ka Swayamvar is inspired by the practice of Swayamwar in ancient India of choosing a husband, from among a list of suitors, by a girl of marriageable age.
12. Pappa’s Girl is about daughters of Industrialists taking over fathers’ businesses.
13. Mythology romances intrigue me; Love Match For Velan is my take on Lord Murugan falling in love with his consort Valli.

Ramayana :The Game of Life - Shattered Dreams.
This review is a part of the biggest Book Review Program for Indian Bloggers. Participate now to get free books!
This is the second book in the series of books titled "Ramayana :The Game of Life " .The cover illustration is by Kunal Kundu.It shows a person of noble lineage having disturbed sleep.There is an elderly noble with white hair in a chariot driven by two jackasses.A woman with disheveled hair & a scary face seems to be the charioteer.This vision of the elderly noble who is afraid of being in the chariot driven by the female saarathi seems to have disturbed the sleep of the young noble.
This book 2 of "Ramayana :The Game of Life " starts with the coronation preparations of Rama as the king of Ayodhya.And before it can take place,hell has broken loose .Kaikeyi ,the favourite queen of Dasaratha has demanded that her boons be granted.After all ,she has the kings word for her boons.Does the king give in ? Rama has to go on exile into the forest.He is not alone.Who goes with him & why ? The people of Ayodhya are heartbroken . They follow their prince & the prince gives them the slip too soon.Why does Rama slip away from his own people ?
Back in Ayodhya,nothing is the same.Dasaratha is lamenting his misfortune.Finally,he passes away.Bharata,Kaikeyi's son is summoned to perform his father's last rites.Bharata is shocked that his mother could stoop so low.He & Shatrughna along with an entourage proceed to the forest to request Rama to come back.Does Rama return to Ayodhya ?.Bharata brings padukas of Rama to Ayodhya . What is the purpose behind this action of Bharata ? The book ends when Rama ,Sita & Lakshman are shifting base from Chitrakoot to Dandakaranya.Why do they leave the picturesque Chitrakoot ?
We all know Ramayana.Yet ,this book makes it very interesting.I always thought that Rama went into exile soon after he got married.This book tells that it was not so.Dasaratha was the name given to King Nemi by the demi gods.Why & how did Nemi earn the name Dasaratha is quite a story in itself.The book also lists management mantras of Rama which he imparts to Bharata to rule Ayodhya.This is in line with modern management practice.This book makes the reader aware of many related & other small relevant tales like that of chaste Anasuya .This makes it very readable.
The publisher is Jaico Publishing house.The book is of 387 pages with 9 chapters.There is an author's note wherein the author opines that Ramayana can answer many of our day to day problems with simple yet effective solutions.The author is Shubha Vilas is with ISKCON .He is a motivational speaker .He is well read with a degree in Engineering as also law .
This book is a good read for a fresh understanding of the epic, in the light of modern times.

The
Blurb
Shyamoli Verma’s timing is wrong.
In her late twenties, she finds that her marriage is irrevocably broken. She comes back to her parents
with her pre-teen son and an infant daughter, only to find that she is unwelcome.
Independent and brash, she decides to bring up her children and also get a divorce without any support from friends and family.
Written with wry self deprecating humour, this is the story of a divorced woman's quest for love and security.
