My Review

Canvas of Dreams is about a story of Riya and Ryan, who were childhood friends and love blossomed thereafter. However, the bond broke loose when they separated for higher studies, and eventually all contacts were deliberately cut when Riya heard a something about her boyfriend, Ryan.

Life continued, and they meet unexpectedly. Old flames rise, which eventually lead to a fire that was getting difficult to extinguish. This lead them to partially open up their pile of their past, but then ego's clashed when temper was raised by each of them, and that resulted in things staying as is, and they departed with a heavy heart.

Life gave them another opportunity, and this time maybe they realized the impact of time and how life was flying by that they both paused to understand each other, and eventually the cat was out of the basket!

This lead to these two individuals to a happily ever after!

The Author, Jaya Siva Murty did an excellent job in telling a story of two lovers that had the urge to unite, but kept themselves away when their self-pride came in the way. They lived their respective lives in bitterness, and agony until destiny threw them together and forced them to unite after breaking all the barriers.
Canvas of Dreams a story that all persons plan to imagine and draw upon a white raw canvas for themselves a tale of happiness. But when different personalities collide, it could become a story of love, misunderstanding, break up, living under regret, egos clash, and finally making up when the flame within refused to extinguish.

The Spotlight





"And we would like to thank......"

Confident Joan was partially up from the seat but plops down in confusion upon hearing a different name.

While in introspection, a disorientated Joan forces a smile to congratulate her associate.

"What! How come?" her mind was asking a zillion questions.

Soon her name was announced, and she got up to answer a few questions about the project.

After replying with confidence, and enjoying the partial limelight, she seated herself while her partner got all the drilling.

“Aha! loved this kind of spotlight. At least it spared me those grueling questions” she chuckled.
