THE JEERA PACKER

Hello BookLovers!
Let's review THE JEERA PACKER by 
PRASHANT YADAV.



BLURB
I once changed the history of this Uttar Pradesh with a gun and a finger. One-shot, one man. Right man, wrong man. But that was thirty years ago. I shot people through their heads then. I pack jeera in a basement now.
This is me and here is my story.
He was the best sharpshooter in the state. A true bullet artist. But he gave it all up to lead a happy, normal, stable life . . . with his loving wife and dear son. 
And that proved to be his undoing. 
Resonant and deeply affecting, The Jeera Packer is the gripping tale of a man who after three decades of playing the happy family man returns to his profession of old for one final work—to shoot the chief minister. Convinced that this is his raison d'etre, will he manage to pull off this one last act, as his concluding hat tip to the man he could have been? Will he be able to brush away the jeera dust and rediscover himself? Or has the middle-aged family man already throttled the sharpshooter in him?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
A little boy who never grew up. A wise man who didn’t need to. A smartass who didn’t bother. 
Revolution on my secret agenda. World domination plan B. Need ten hands. Or a cult. Conscription on. Apply. 
Love breathing road dust on two wheels. Love playing with a three-year-old. And love Bachchan. 
Went to IIT Kharagpur, IIM Ahmedabad and Stockholm School of Economics. Run own company. Advise start-ups. Practice karate.

MY REVIEW
The Jeera Packer is a political story which is very well- written.
The language used is simple and easy to understand.
It is a book which when one starts reading cannot put it down without reading it fully.
The cover of the book is appropriate because the place about which is written in the book is famous for the guns and arrogance of people.
The story is filled with dark humor and politics.

RECOMMENDED TO:

  • Beginners
  • Avid Readers
  • Political thrill lovers


MY RATINGS
4 out of 5 stars

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

"The part I left you with" by Rahul Saini

The book goes around two pivots over a significant period of time. This story spins around three characters and manages their view of life and of adoration. This story's method of managing love is very unique to that of the majority of the other Indian love stories. The arrangements with affection as an inclination, love as an overall experience, and dropping out of adoration by and large. Every one of the three characters here goes through an excursion to find their own self and personality over the span of the novel. School life is also explored and I can undoubtedly associate with it. What I noted and loved were those interesting email addresses. The part where Ratna's father and Ratna had a significant conversation about young ladies and what are they fit for filled my heart with joy. I enjoyed the part that Ratna's father played in this entire story and how much love he gives to her. The pieces of Ronit's journal made the book more fascinating to peruse. I understo...
