Ashadh Ka Ek Din (Hindi: आषाढ़ का एक दिन , One Day in the season of rain) is a debut Hindi play by Mohan Rakesh in 1958.

The title of the play derives from the opening line of the Sanskrit dramatist Kalidas's play Meghadūta (Sanskrit: मेघदूत literally "cloud (Megh) messenger (Doot)").

Widow Jamuna finds solace and happiness in extramarital r...

The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Vikrant Khanna

The book is provided by Arudha Club in exchang for a genuine review. The Girl Who Knew Too Much: What if the Loved One You Lost Were to Come Back? by   Vikrant Khanna Book Cover: The cover is showing a girl walking on some kind of bridge to a jungle. Time is probably evening either snow is falling or divine light is shining. This is mysterious and religious. It matches the tone of book. Blurb:   Can true love bring someone back from the dead? Akshara is left devastated by her mother’s death and spends most of her time in solitude at the local park. One day, as she is sobbing uncontrollably, a young man named Harry approaches her.
