Me thinks

In life we all need inspiration in some form or the other. It could be a person, a dream, an idea, a song, an incident or a book. Amongst all the books that I keep reading Inspirational is one category which is the highest as I feel there is so much to learn from all those wonderful authors’ experiences. So I have Robin Sharma, Ruskin Bond, Paulo Coelho – all giving me daily inspirations in the form of quotes in their books or through mails. It makes me begin my day with lot of positivity giving me the strength to face all that comes my way during the day.

Words to inspire winners like you by Dr. Roopleen is a book of quotes written by the author. It has been neatly segregated topic wise alphabetically making it easy for t he reader to read.  It acts like ready reckoner to readers especially at times when they are looking for some serious answers in life.
Sharing some of my favourite quotes:
  • Life is like a search engine – to get the right answer you must type the right key word.
  • Positive thinking is like sponge –which soaks up all the negativity.
  • You only live once. Don’t deny yourself the luxury of living your best life.
  • If your life does not challenge you, you are not living it right.
  • You dilute your greatness when you begin to brag about your accomplishments.
  • Life is a continuum of success and failure.
  • Success is no guarantor of happiness. You are the creator of your own happiness.
  • Become empowered. Reclaim control. Take charge of your life.
  • Active people make effective people.
  • Don’t be a part of the crowd, be a face of the crowd.
  • Nothing can put you down if you are determined to rise up.
  • You ruin your chances of making it big when you think small.
  • Determination is not enough, you must persevere.
  • Staying motivated is the corner stone of success.
The book is full of such wonderful one liners which manage to raise your spirits especially during difficult times. Many times situations around us go out of hands and we are unable to decipher the next course of action. At such times books like these come to our rescue. Equipped with positive inspiration any storm seems small. This book has one message to give – Dawn comes after the darkest hour of the night. All the bad things eventually lead to good things till such time all you need to do is keep your motivation high. The author through this book manages to do this with the help of right words used in her quotes. The author’s language is very simple and lucid which makes it an easy to read book for one and all.

Rather than recommending this book to readers I would say one should read this book when one is looking for some answers from life is thoroughly confused about the next course of action and badly wants some guidance. This book will definitely act as the medium through with you will receive all that the Universe wants you to know.

 This book is sugarcane juice. If asked to describe its taste there is no one word which fits it perfectly. It is a mix of sweet with tangy and sour. This book is also like that. There is no single word befitting it, it is a little bit inspirational, touching and motivational

Movie Review: If by Tathagata Ghosh – A Tender Portrait of Love, Loss, and Possibility

If , a 26-minute short film by acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Tathagata Ghosh, is a sensitive, evocative piece of storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. Set against the everyday rhythm of life in Kolkata, the film delicately unpacks the story of a lesbian couple torn apart by the weight of societal expectations and dares to imagine a different future, one where a mother's love might just change everything.  What struck me first was the film’s raw, grounded realism. The characters feel like people we know, middle-class families navigating a complex world with quiet resilience. The world of If is filled with silences, glances, and stills, rather than heavy dialogue. Ghosh masterfully uses these moments to speak volumes, allowing viewers to sit with discomfort, interpret the unspoken, and feel deeply.

Book Review: The Story of Eve: Selected Poems by Zehra Nigah

Few voices in Urdu poetry have carried the weight of history, resistance, and deep personal introspection quite like Zehra Nigah. One of the first women to break into the traditionally male-dominated world of Urdu poetry, Nigah’s work stands as a testament to the power of words to illuminate, question, and challenge. The Story of Eve: Selected Poems, translated by Rakshanda Jalil, brings together some of her most powerful nazms and ghazals, showcasing both her literary elegance and her unflinching gaze at the human condition, particularly through the lens of gender, social injustice, and political turmoil.

The Urban Gaze : Reimagining the Village in Contemporary Indian Cinema

Indian cinema has long been fascinated with the village. From the earthy, socialist realism of Do Bigha Zamin (1953) to the melodramatic lament of Mother India (1957), the village once stood as both heartland and hinterland — a space of moral clarity, rustic struggle, and often unyielding fate. But as the urban middle class began to dominate cinematic production and consumption, the depiction of the village increasingly came to reflect an urban gaze, that is, a perspective shaped by distance, nostalgia, condescension, or even outright fantasy.  In recent years, this urban gaze has taken on new shades, evident in the way mainstream and indie filmmakers alike have re-engaged with rural India. While some have tried to explore the village as a site of resistance, authenticity, or even horror, others continue to reproduce sanitized or exaggerated versions of village life that serve urban sensibilities more than rural realities.
