ABOUT THE PUBLISHER : READOMANIA

India has traditionally been the land of storytellers and a lot of us have an inherent skill of creating good plots, stories and narrations. With a little encouragement and support, many more authors can be widely read. This is the essence of Readomania-an initiative that nurtures emerging stars of the literary world.

Readomania is an online content discovery platform that brings to life a whole new literary world, with stories, authors, books and a lot more. We also have a publishing house that takes the best of Readomania from the online format to print editions and launches debut authors. Our focus is to bring to the market, new authors and novel concepts, a composite novel being one of them. Our previous book, Chronicles of Urban Nomads, a collection of short stories, was also an experimental publication. 

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Readomania is the talent hunt in fiction that goes a step beyond, nurtures talent and showcases it to the world, in the process, creating a powerhouse of content.

Our website also has a lot in store for the reader. Since the content is edited and curated, by a strong team of editors, readers get quality reads on a platter. The variety on Readomania is impressively vast; we have romance, emotions, thrills, travel, humour and drama.

Everything was dull and dry. On such a searing day nobody could imagine even a blow of wind for split second  but Shanaya, a strong instinct believer already predicted , there would be rains shortly.  No one cared! She quickly went into her kitchen to prepare a mug of coffee and some cookies for herself. Her younger brother started teasing her for her dippy act. Hot coffee on a hot day!

Here is my heart

  There's a time in your life for you to dream And sometimes things aren't what they seam, The wish you to hold inside you precious heart.. And sometimes things change from the start! Then the magical moment that happens at last, A kiss, a touch, just a word can all happen so fast, On a night like tonight as I wish you were here, Holding me close to your heart so we're near, Each time I look into your eyes I know its true! All my life I have prayed for someone like you, Here is my heart its always been yours to keep, There is a feeling so strong if you dig down deep, I know that you know its a feeling so strong, I'd tell you I love you in a poem or even a song.. You've had my heart from the very first thought, This love was a priceless feeling, wasn't bought,  I'll give you everything that comes along, This life we live is real, nothing could go wrong.. So here is my heart its yours to spoil and always hold,...
