Book Review: Mohini by Anuja Chandramouli
MohiniAuthor: Anuja ChandramouliPublisher: Rupa PublishersRating: 3.5/5 Anuja Chandramouli’s Mohini is an interesting tale of an enchantress who lured men into believing that love and beauty can be found in flesh and blood.

Book Review: The Night and the Land by Matt Spencer
The Night and the LandAuthor: Matt SpencerPublisher: Back Roads Carnival BooksRating: 4/5 It seems like the main objective of Matt Spencer’s book ‘The Night and the Land’ is to prove the adage- Actions speak louder than words- right.

House Arrest: A Slow Assassination of a Creative Plot
I read somewhere recently that Netflix has become the dumping ground for all the movies and series that would otherwise be ignored even if their posters are made to shine in the dark. While several movies falter in terms of content and quality, some movies are borne from a brilliant and unique idea but owing to poor execution, they fail miserably at the box office. Such is the story of House Arrest, a movie that fails to arrest the attention of the viewers for long because of its flawed narrative and lazy execution. The story is based on the phenomena of Hikikomori, a Japanese term for ‘pulling inward or confinement’.…
