Blurb:

Things were never the same for five ordinary individuals who got struck at cross roads and there was no way they can run back. They had no other choice but to take a plunge into their deepest fear and leave the rest to destiny. Their characters was tested out of their comfort zone and it witnessed abstruse results; a PhD scholar fights to win a pizza making contest and a tennis prodigy running for his life in 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 is that Once in a Blue Moon day story which questions an individual's priorities, ridicules the worldly routines and finally redefines happiness.


My verdict: 

The Blue Moon Day is self help, inspirational,  Anthology fiction . It contains five different short stories. Different protagonists having common connection between them. The front cover of the book one of the most eye catching. The title has taken unique in the sense.
The characters mentioned in the book- Abhinav Sharma aka Abi, Rishi, Mr. Pillai, Mr. Joe Fernandez, Mrs. Jayanti Mohan, Ajay aka Aju, Deepak, Priya, Siddharth aka Sid, Anshul, Rao, Usha, Vivian John aka Vivi, Ravi, Jenny, Danny, Rachael, Andy, *Jennifer, Amar, S.Sankaran, Vinod, Khadija, Anustup, Dia, Chitra, Prabhakaran, Shivi, Malar, Kalyani, Dr. Velan, Isai Chelvi, Dr. Ezhil, Dr. Jose, Dr. Raj Purniman.
The whole book revolves religiously around one central theme - the blue moon day, a rare event that takes place in our life due to the sheer serendipity. Language and using of vocabulary is good. Narration is appreciable. 
 I loved the book for the way the stories were portrayed especially the Sankaran story is a beautiful imagination.  Although the characters are simple, I think lot of research has gone through in writing this. 
A wonderful experience with the book. Looking forward to author's next book.
