The Secrets of My Universe: A Platform for Authors and Readers alike to kindle and sustain the fire of literature.
This is what our authors have to say about my book reviews:
"I
loved the detailed study of the text. It was really heartening to see that he
understood my book for what I was trying to say with it."
-
Rahul Saini, traveler, teacher, and the bestselling author of four hugely
popular novels-Those Small Lil Things, Just Like in the Movies, The Orange
Hangover, and Paperback Dreams'.
For
my review of his recently published novel, 'The Part I Left with You'.
"This
is one of my favorite reviews of Chinese Whiskers. Dhiraj really
"got" the book, and was able to unpeel its many layers, despite the fact
that it was set in far-away China. His analysis reveals his talents as both a
reader and a critic."

Pallavi Aiyar, an award-winning journalist who has spent several years
reporting from across China, Europe, Indonesia and is currently based in Japan;
the author of the Vodafone-Crossword Readers Choice Award winner
China-memoir—Smoke and Mirrors, a parenting memoir—Babies and Bylines, Choked!,
Punjabi Parmesan, and more.
For
my review of her recently rejacketed and republished modern fable 'Chinese Whiskers'.
"Dhiraj is an
expressive, sincere and knowledgeable reader, blogger, and book reviewer and I
am glad that my first book found place on his desk. He is one of the few
reviewers in the Bookstagram community who's never shy to draft a detailed,
comprehensive review, which is well structured. He is also pretty consistent
with his efforts to spend hours reading books, construct reviews by making
endless notes (something I got to know first hand) and write those reviews. I
recommend every author, debutante or established, veteran or fledgling, fiction
or non-fiction, and Indian or otherwise to submit his/her book to Dhiraj.
Regardless of the rating, you would find contentment in the review :)"
- Ameya Bondre, an
author, public health researcher, clinician, and TEDx Speaker.
For my review of his
debut collection of short stories 'Afsaane'.
"Dhiraj
is one of the most dynamic and talented book bloggers that I've come across in
my short stint as an author of poetry. He reads not just with an intent to
comprehend the matter but to identify the positive messages and the strength of
every write-up. His love for the paperback is keenly evident in the manner he
worships every book that lands in his hands, gloriously decorating and
presenting even the most mundane-looking ones. Regardless of his great taste in
good literature, I rarely notice him being critical of any work. He will make
you fall in love with the books that he loves. As a reviewer, and a human
being, Dhiraj is unmatched in his approach. With an amazing eye for details,
brilliant language, and engaging communication, his blog is one that should not
be missed if you are a bibliophile like him."

Dr. Priya Dolma Tamang, born in Sikkim, is a medical graduate and one of the
most popular InstaPoets from India.
For my review of her debut compilation of poetry and prose 'Ivory Gleam' & her interview with me.
"Dhiraj
(Binge Bawse) has an immaculate reviewing format, having taken into account the
details of the book and the author, and blogs it in a reader-friendly format.
His writing style and aesthetic posts come in handy on social media. Highly
recommended."
-
Rajesh Konsam, who hails from Manipur, is a novelist, mental health advocate,
software engineer, and poet.
For
my review of his debut novel 'Bittersweet' & his interview with me.
"This
is certainly one of the best reviews and the most unique review I have ever
received. I had been waiting for Dhiraj's opinion of my book for a long, long
time, and it's totally worth it. He comes up with such acute observations about
a book that certainly makes his reviews stand out from the rest. Loved it, bro.
I'm delighted that one of the best young reviewers in India liked my book. 😊🙏"

Pankaj Giri, born and brought up in Gangtok, is a finalist of Amazon Pen to
Publish Contest 2017, which led to him being felicitated by Sikkim Manipal
University for his contribution to the literature of Sikkim and being invited
by popular website YourStory.com and ABN TV, India’s first Nepali satellite
channel, for exclusive interviews. He is currently working in the government
sector in Sikkim.
For
my review of his debut inspirational fiction novel 'The Fragile Thread ofHope'.
"It
was the initial days of the release of my debut novel, Sunset by the River, and
I was so anxious to receive responses from the readers. Every author has this
urge to read the responses and reviews from the readers. That's when Dhiraj
(Binge Bawse) put out the review of my work on his blog that summarised the
book so well that any reader looking for a book to read based on reviews will
have their answers. Dhiraj is an ardent reader and honest about his reviews.
His way of presenting the Book theme, author's bio, and other details, along
with his own designed pictures of the book cover mesmerize authors and readers
altogether. I wish him a lot more success in his reading reviewing journey, and
looking forward to reading books based on his recommendations."
