Of Reviews and Musings

I started blogging sometime in 2011 wherein I had no clue about what to write, I only knew I had to write as I loved doing it and so was born my first blog – Memoirs of Me. After spending some 8 months on blogosphere I came across some amazing sites like blog adda, indiblogger and through them realised the world of book reviews. Though since childhood I had been a voracious reader I never knew my love for books could be transformed into something like this. I wrote my first ever poem when I was 11 years old and till few years back I only dreamt of being a poet (Well, about what I dream of being now is a long story!!). I had read somewhere, click more pictures someday you will be grateful you did that. Something in that statement struck a chord with me and since then I carry a camera with me 24 X 7.  A promise to someone very close that had passed away last year gave birth to daily thoughts and thus was born Reviews and Musings.

(C) Privy Trifles

There was a time when I was scared of reviewing a book solely because I feared I would not be able to do justice to it. Every time I hold a book in my hand for me more than anything else it denotes the efforts put in by the author in writing it and getting it published. This is the main reason why I can never write harshly / criticize any book here however it is. I might just skip reviewing it altogether than doing this. Many times it is not taken nicely but my grandfather explained it to me very eloquently. He said there is a reason a writer can never be a critic and a critic can never be a writer for a writer knows the pain that goes behind each word! That explained it all and since then there has been no looking back as I continue reading and reviewing.

Both my blogs are the two shades that I have as a person. One is about all the good and bright things of life while the other is the one I use to share my dark side, my fears and insecurities. Needless to say I love both of them as for me they are an integral part of my identity. In between these two blogs I share my love for everything I do from reading, photography, poems, thoughts, stories, social issues, letters etc etc. I believe each one of us is a two faced person having both the emotions properly defined within us waiting to come out and be expressed. For me, my blogs are a form of that expression. And if I need to give a reason for it, nothing better than these pictures match it:

P.S:Well, the reason why I am saying all this today is, my blog completed a year on the 31st December and this was my dedication to it. (Better late than never!!)

Book Review: Desiccated Land by David Lepeska

  ISBN: 978-9395481205  Genre: Non-fiction Publisher: Vishwakarma Publications  Bringing together his experiences as a journalist and a keen observer, David Lepeska writes a raw and gut-wrenching book on Kashmir. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part reportage, Desiccated Land is a page-turner.  The book starts by tracing the history of the region along with his own history, as a student who was dimly aware of the history of Kashmir and the turmoil it has been causing for centuries between India and Pakistan. Lepenska takes us to Nilamata Purana ( likely written in the 7th century ) which tells us the story leading to the birth of this region. He also shares an alternate possibility of the word being derived from a lake ‘Mira’ named after Vedic Sage Kashyapa.  His first visit to Kashmir closely followed by his second (and much longer) visit as a journalist working for the Kashmir Observer after the 9/11 attacks, make for an interesting read. Lepeska had questions, a lot of them. An

From there to here to where

From this blog in 2011 to Barnes and Noble website, my reviewing journey has been full of surprises.  I am working on an essay tracing it and realized that I started reviewing books in 2001 (Yes! I am old) for a small library next to my house. Needless to add, my payment was in the books. The library owner also happened to be the first person who taught me how to write a book review and what to focus on. And that is where I learned why reviews matter.  Cut to 2016 when my book review was taught in a Literary Criticism class held by British Library. A relative happened to attend that class and the news spread like wildfire in the family. That is the moment when my family knew this much more than just a hobby. 

Book Review: Never Mind Yaar by K Mathur

Introduction ·          ISBN - 978-0-473-17480-4 ·          Genre: Fiction ·          Publishers: Southpac Publishers ·          Price: Rs. 350/- ( I got this book from Blog Adda for a review ) The title is an attitude - our tendency to feel defeated by the scale and nature of certain problems. Rather than meet them head on, we circumvent them with a sigh and a consoling “never mind, yaar”. When long time friends Binaifer Desai and Louella D’Costa meet Shalini Dayal at Gyan Shakti College, a true friendship that transcends cultural and religious backgrounds is born. Louella is a Christian, Binaifer, a Parsi and Shalini, a Hindu. The novel’s main plotline surrounds Shalini who has fallen for an impetuous student activist, Bhagu. Where does his desire to help the less fortunate lead him? The challenges are many - Shalini’s tradition bound family, the couple’s youth and inexperience and the travails of life in Mumbai, a city the girls love but know, is fraug
