3. Book: The Blue Moon Day; Author: Santhosh Sivaraj; Publisher: Invincible; Price: Rs 220; Pages: 213

Things were never the same for five ordinary individuals who were lost at crossroads and there was no way back. They had no other choice but to take a plunge into their deepest fears and leave the rest to destiny. The individuals were tested away from their comfort zones and it produced abstruse results -- a PhD scholar fights to win a pizza-making contest and a tennis prodigy runs for his life on a war-torn, bloodied island.

Extreme circumstances and their consequences made these ordinary individuals extraordinary. Was the test imposed on them by someone? Or did they invite it on themselves? "The Blue Moon Day" questions an individual's priorities, ridicules worldly routines and finally redefines happiness.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner.
