Love affair with the razor!

Ajay Gautam, a two year senior, BioTech, Kharagpur said long back, "Ladka apne baap ko dekh kar dadhi banana seekhta hai." A boy learns shaving, watching his dad. It stuck. Not because it was extraordinarily profound. But somethings just stick. And I had seen my dad...

Another of the granddad's stories. In a small town there lived a rich merchant. He had two employees - one, a highly educated one and the other uneducated, perhaps even illiterate. However, the ding was that the uneducated one drew a much higher salary than the...

This is a story my maternal granddad told me years ago, and it was repeated to me quite a few times by mom as well, once, when as a little boy, I asked her if ghosts are real. The story goes like this. A man was building a thatched roof for his house. Now, thatched...

What the readers say of The Jeera Packer…

…the book is simply a great read.
You start with the politics and go through guns and girls and elections and drugs and political inheritance without a slowing of the narrative. You are not allowed to rest or put away the book until it is over.

I found The Jeera Packer to be a really enjoyable and fun read.
Prashant Yadav hits all of the right notes about the culture and dynamics of UP politics. He is a very engaging writer with a keen eye for plot.

Pankaj Goyal

Reader, Reviewer, Bibulous Biliobibuli

An extra ordinary suspense-crime thriller with a fusion of politics, crime, corruption, mid-life crisis, and conspiracies…
This is a must read book with intense feelings with all the essence of a Bollywood crime thriller movie.

It’s not always that you come across a book by a debutante which makes you sit at one place in your bedroom and go on reading despite IPL running in the other room.
That’s the magic Prashant Yadav’s “The Jeera Packer” does upon you!

Abhilash Ruhela

Reviewer, Writer, WritingBuddha.com

In all honesty I was prejudiced and expected little from an author with a very common name – Prashant Yadav. However he had me with his first chapter titled serendipity (my favorite word) and by the end of the book i was totally sold to his writing and storytelling .

This is a man’s book …correction, an alpha man’s book. A story revolving around politics, loyalty, ambition, deception, power, ego, guns, goons, profanities, bullets and bullet…with hardly any room for love is still, a very exhilarating read! I am a woman and I didn’t miss the mush….at all! I would rate it 5 but I won’t coz I am expecting to read so much more from Mr. Yadav !
