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

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
