This book is filled with short stories which will Make you feel love, cry, laugh all at once. At one time, you will feel love that you wanted and on the next moment it will make you cry, when you find the person is blind and cannot see, and still she enjoys her life.

Each story is unique in its own way and i enjoyed reading them.

I loved the writing style of author but it was difficult to understand for me that who Actually spoke the dialogue. The characters are well developed.

The book is all about love And loss.

Book Review : The Midas Touch

Title : The Midas Touch

Author : Dr. Sheetal Nair

This is a self help book and a thoroughly researched work by the author ranging from communication skills to perceptional and analysing skills with listicle guidelines on how to harness and apply them in our daily lives. The book stands out for itself for distinguished topics described. The quotes related to each topic mentioned are inspiring and helpful.

I personally liked the chapter “chef’s note on the recipe for performance”.

It’s a short read with really helpful topics.

I recommend to those who seek self help books.

I would give it 🌟🌟🌟/5

Book Review : Ram- Scion of Ikshvaku

Title : Ram – Scion of Ikshvaku

Author : Amish

Qotd : being a mythology fan, I would love to get more book suggestions of this genre

Reading amish’s books is a different experience by itself. I have previously read two of his books from the shiva trilogy and i was really impressed by the authors writing skills and well developed narrative. I’m yet to read the third book from the trilogy.

Ram Chandra series is a series of three amazing books Ram, Sita and Raavan. Firstly, I would tell you this is not a typical story about Ramayan. This book is a journey of Ram from his childhood showing how Ram was strict about his Rules and for him, everyone was equal. There are many stories where Ram is protrayed as a person who makes justice at the same time following his rules. The bond between all 4 brothers is shown skillfully. The plot is diffrent from what we read in actual Ramayan.

There are many twists in the story but i dont find it much interacting.

Although i didn’t enjoy reading this book as much as i loved The Immortals of Meluha. I felt somewhere the stories were similar and there was nothing new. I was expecting something more thriller. The book is lengthy and sometimes boring, and one time read. The people who haven’t read the shiva trilogy may enjoy it. I’ll be reading next the second book from this series and come up with the review on it.

I would recommend you, if you love reading mythology and thriller, go for The Shiva Trilogy.

I would give it 🌟🌟🌟/5

Book Review : My Gita

Title : My Gita
Author : Devdutt Pattnaik
.
.
Qotd: What are your thoughts about this book?
.
Just read My Gita written by the most popular author Devdutt Pattanaik.
Although i have read a lot of reviews before buying it. The reviews were positive but i didn’t find the book that interesting.
At the begining, the author has described well as to why it’s called My Gita. He explained the meaning of the word “Gita”. My Gita is thematic, subjective and not obsessed with the self. And I must say these three things are explained to the point by the author using various illustrations which makes the reader understand authors thoughts clearly.
The book is full of illustrations explaining each themes in My Gita.
There are 18 chapters same as the Bhagwad Gita but there is a slight difference in the chapters which is mentioned in the beginning. Each chapter is filled with mythological stories from the time of Ramayana and Mahabharata.
When i first picked up this book i was damn excited to know what and how the author has explained the Gita in his own words. Previously, i have read The Bhagwad Gita in hindi version and after reading this book(My Gita), i felt really disappointed.
The shloks were not at all organised. And My Gita is just explaination of the Bhagwad Gita which the author understood and wrote in his own words.
Altogether, it was an average read. Yesterday, my aunt suggested me to read marathi version of The Bhagwad Gita. I’m slow at reading marathi but i will definitely give it a try.
I would recommend to those who love reading mythological books. Before reading this, you must read The Bhagwad Gita in whichever version you want.
I would give it 🌟🌟/5

Book Review : Winter poems

Title : Winter Poems
Author : Sabarna Roy

Qotd : Do you love reading poems?

Winter poems written by Sabarna Roy is a series of 12 poems that mostly deal with the imagination of death and home. I think these are the two fundamental imaginations that separate humankind from other animals. What would the pleasure of living be without the imagination of death? What would the pleasure of running through wilderness be without the imagination of home.

This book is divided in two sections. The first section is a collection of poems written by the author in 2010 and the second is collection of small poems written in 2012.

The Winter Poems-2012 is a series of 26 poems generally dealing with the idea of loss and coming to terms with gradual wasting of life.

The title of the book resembles that these poems are written during the winter season.
I don’t know any particular reason but winters are wild and pleasant and begins after the festive seasons of Durga Puja and Kali Puja. May be this made the author generate new ideas and write these beautiful poems.

Winter Poems employs the narrative style. The poems appeal to the mind and arose feelings not only owing to the themes and ideas that I focus on, but more importantly due to the association created by the imagistic records and kaleidoscope of nature that enrapture the mind that are likely to stay rooted in memory.

It is a short read. The cover is really attractive.
The poems are structured in a story-telling pattern. This was my first read from this author and i would love to read of his books filled with poems.
Recommend me some more poem collections you have read.
Altogether, I will summarise it as a really amazing book to grab on during this lockdown period.

I would recommend it to those who love reading short books and poems.
I will give it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5

Book review : A Myna Flies

Title : A Myna Flies
Author : Sidharth Kanattil

Qotd : How are you spending the lockdown period?

I’m spending it by reading books and wishing this all ends soon although I’m happy now that I’ve got time to read all the unfinished books.
.

A Myna Flies is an adventurous story about politics, love, power and royalty.
Firstly, I didn’t understand anything from the book cover, but when I started reading it, I felt it’s fascinating. .

The story starts with Chaudhary and his men going to speak to one of the most dangerous tribe, asking them to clear their land and from there the story begins.
.

The characters are well portrayed and well written making it an interesting read. I loved the character introduction at the begining, making it a rather simplified read overall.
.

I would recommend it to those who are into thriller and adventure genre.
.

I would give it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
