Me thinks

If I were to describe my experience in one word it would be – Refreshing. After a long time I have come across a book which actually leaves you feeling fresh after going through its pages. It is so mesmerizing with some breath taking pictures adding to its beauty that you just don’t want it to end. It is a visual treat as you turn pages after pages and travel with the characters to those exotic locales. Captivating narration teamed with an interesting storyline makes it a thoroughly enjoyable read! It is truly a trend setting concept – mixing fact with fiction along with photographs.

Overall an excellent read for one and all purely because of its innovative concept. More so for people readers who enjoy travelling!

P.S: I am looking forward to its release to read it fully and will add further to the review on completion of it.

Wishing the entire team of The Stopver ~All the best for their book!

His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
