Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?

This depends on many factors but the main things to be considered while choosing to subscribe Kindle Unlimited are as follows:

The number of kindle books a reader can read in a month
The maximum amount a reader is willing to spend on the kindle books in a month

Let’s take an example.

Suppose a person reads around 10 kindle books in a month and he is willing to spend a maximum amount of US $ 20 per month. If he subscribes to Kindle Unlimited, he will have to spend only half the amount i.e. the US $9.99 and will have the access to over one million kindle books enrolled in Kindle Unlimited. And he wouldn’t have to spend a single penny for the first one month thanks to Kindle Unlimited free trial.

First Chapter of Romantic Novel 'NARMADA'

In those days, I was pursuing my Engineering from I.I.T., Delhi. I only had few more exams left for third year. 30th April was the last day for exams. It was convenient as well as difficult to study in a hostel.

My parents lived in Bhopal. Our bungalow was on the Bairagarh Road. My father was the contractor for the construction of bridges and roads for past two decades and was mostly busy in contracts given by Madhya Pradesh Government.

He got a big tender in Baitul valley last year. Around four hundred labourers were working together on a daily basis and our company was growing persistently.

I was 22 years old and my parents were constantly discussing about my marriage. When they wanted to know my decision for the same, I gave my consent. First they proposed Varsha’s name (our ex-neighbour Vermaji’s daughter) before me. She was pursuing M.A. in English Literature from Bhopal itself. We had good relations with Vermaji’s family for the past ten years.

I and Varsha often used to play, hang around and eat together. For the past two years, she started avoiding confronting me. Whenever I asked the reason, she would smile and walk away.

Nearly six months ago, I met Varsha in a social programme in Bhopal. While talking to me, she asked my hostel’s address. After that, she even wrote some letters to me, but I did not reply for even a single time.

Once the exams got over, I started preparing to return to my home in Bhopal and wrote a letter to my mother and informed her. On the day of journey, I boarded an Express Train from New Delhi Railway Station at 7 in the morning and reached Bhopal Railway Station at 4 pm on the same day. Our car driver had come to receive me. At 5 pm, I was at home.

It was summer and was very hot. As soon as I reached patio our maid 'Jaanki' opened the door and greeted me. Drawing room cooler soothed my mind. I felt silence at home. Till now, Mom would have welcomed me with words - “Oh! Son, u came”.

Housemaid Jaanki came and said - “Have bath. Tea is ready”. I ordered her to bring tea and said - “I’ll have tea before shower”.

I thought Mom would be sleeping in her room. I went to have bath and got dressed. Then Jaanki asked if she can serve the breakfast but I asked her to awake Mom first.

She told me that Mom has gone to Baitul Valley. It was being ten days since she was not at home. Jaanki said - “Ma’am has wrote a letter for you.”

I asked - “Where is that letter? Show me.”

She went to Mom’s room and I followed her. She picked up the letter lying on the table and handed it to me. I started reading the letter:

“Dear Babu (My Name),

I got to know that you are coming home from Delhi. I am leaving for Baitul Valley due to some reason and have to stay there for some days. After reaching home, you too come here.

Rest is fine.

Your Mom”
