This is a chronicle of love that depicts how love can affect someone’s life and turn your world upside down. It is a story of a small town boy and his predicaments that his life had offered. As the story progresses with a tint of sorrow, despair and desperation through the boy’s life, the other end of the story starts to unfold and the horizon of his life starts to glow apart. The story begins in the small town but did not end there. Life had different plans for him and without any clue; he flew to Paris, France. The least did he know that a retrospection was waiting for him at a strange city far from his lands. Natasha had been an integral part of Armaan’s life when they were in the same college few years ago. Natasha had left him and had flown to Istanbul, Turkey to groom her career. A xing happened once again when these two confronted and decided to spend some time together while on the trip. Natasha then realized, what had she left in India and this feeling of guilt shrunk her to her core and she could not resist herself to fall once again for the guy. But a fear was churning deep within her heart as she was officially in a relationship with his boss-at-work Vikram. She knew she was no more than a puppet for him but she was stuck in his obligations. That was the time when she knew that Vikram has some connection with Anti-national groups and she decided to leave him and come back to Armaan. Vikram got to know about all these and threatened Natasha to kill Armaan but she knew she can’t do this. Furious by Natasha’s callings, Vikram decided to take the action that broke Natasha once again and Armaan ended up at the hospital bed.

"Natalie Natalia"?is Nicholas Mosley's brilliant examination of political life. It revolves around Anthony Greville, a conservative Member of Parliament who is tormented by his ambivalence toward his career, by his religious doubts, and by his adulterous affair with Natalia Jones, the enigmatic wife of a colleague. The course of their affair dramatizes love in its most creative and perilously destructive aspects, the two facets symbolized in the two names he has for his lover: "I sometimes called Natalia Natalie instead of Natalia," Greville says, "when she was the ravenous rather than the angelic angel... What Natalie said was often a code for what Natalia was meaning." Ranging in setting from England to Central Africa, the novel is a remarkable investigation of ethics, with fiction itself as an ethical activity.

In this picture book, a girl’s gift of a Valentine to a boy prompts a tale with an enduring message of friendship. This book is not a valentine. It doesn’t have lacey edges or sugary hearts. But it is full of lucky rocks, secret hiding spots, and gumball machine treasures. This is a book about waiting in line and wishing for cinnamon buns. About recognizing that if you care so much about someone not thinking you care, maybe you really do. But wait—isn’t that exactly what love is about? Maybe this book is sort of a valentine after all. A testament to handmade, wacky, bashful, honest love—sure to win over the hearts of all readers—this offering from debut picture book author Carter Higgins and children’s book veteran Lucy Ruth Cummins is the perfect gift to celebrate every relationship, from parent to child, sibling to sibling, partner to partner, crush to crush. Praise for This Is Not a Valentine “A perfect book for kids who find the whole Valentine's Day holiday icky and overrated.” —Book Riot “A beautiful celebration of love and how different that may look to others celebrating Valentine's Day.” —ReaderTotz “[Cummins’s] cartoon cast is a diverse one, and refreshingly, this is more about deep friendship than romantic love; her kids are definitely just that: kids. . . . A sort of anti-valentine for those who want to show the ones they love they care without being all mushy (or spending any money).” —Kirkus Reviews
