DELHI, January 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Srishti Publishers Launches Shikha's 2nd Novel 'Logically Stupid, That's Love' at Delhi World Book Fair in January This Year
Shikha Kumar is a classic example of, 'when you don't like something, build one of your own'. This die-hard romantic, mother of one, got irked by the repeated plots and sugar-coated romance. She felt the need to read realistic love stories and, when she didn't find many, she decided to write one herself.

'He Fixed the Match, She Fixed Him,' her first novel, was about love in a schemed arranged marriage. As a debutant author, she not only received loads of love from fans but also bagged a feature film contract. This also made her the only debutant author to have conquered hearts of fans and film production houses as well.
The elite guest list at the book launch included, Sumant Batra, Founder - Kumaon Litfest, Khurafati Nitin RJ - Fever 104 and Arup Bose, Publisher - Srishti Publishers & Distributors. The event was moderated by prominent author, SutapaBasu.
She speaks fondly about'Logically Stupid, That's Love', "It is a story about people who never value what comes handy to them. They invite pain by giving more importance to materialism that should ideally be carved out of hard work and not mere luck. The story is all about love being most persistent feeling; you can avoid it but can't rule out. It may be logical or stupid, but never judgmental."
Her impeccable tongue in cheek and entertaining writing style has won her praise from several fans. "Apart from the fact that the book is entertaining, the depiction of the female protagonist in a new light is a welcome change from the regular love stories one reads. The contemporary steps taken by the girl to make the relationship successful is indeed path-breaking. It's a good reflection of today's changing times when girls are not shy about admitting their feelings and driving the love story," said Nitin. Shikha is ably represented by Sarvashreshtha Solutions & AGENCY09 from Mumbai.
"Shikha is a very enthusiastic author who is always open to ideas and discussion. She possesses the knack to present stories in a different and entertaining manner. 'Logically Stupid, That's Love' is an entertaining story and we believe that it will instantly connect with romance fiction lovers across ages," said Arup.
What should readers look forward to from 'Logically Stupid, That's Love'? "A good read, value for money and no dull moments is my promise to the readers," she promises.

Book Synopsis
Kartik - Yes, I want to be successful, and it's no crime. My ambitious eyes never complained being deprived of sleep. Trust me, I too would have wanted the same as Ms. Stupid but I can't toss my hard work of years for a girl. We would have had a beautiful love story had she not been my boss's daughter.
Sahana - I know he loves his career and doesn't know his heart well as of now. I'm sure one day Mr. Logical will come to my way of thinking, and we'll have a beautiful life together thereafter.
He flirted with her for five days; she waited for him for five years, only to be shattered irrecoverably one day. Logic seems to be winning the battle, until destiny refuses to move on and adamantly brings them face to face again. In life's moments of struggle and comfort, the heart and mind must join hands to combat. A love story dedicated to the generation that never values what comes easy.
