Book Review – Resemblance – The journey of a doppelganger – by Arti Honrao



Introduction

I have known Arti for the past couple of years and have always admired her writing style for its simplicity and emotions. I was one of the few lucky people to have ordered this book when she had kept it on Pothi for few days just for selected audience.  And I must say I am feeling really on top of the world to have read such a wonderful tale of love and relationships.

Behind the book




About the Author

Arti Honrao has a passion for different genres of writing and hence was born Sfth, a platform to showcase her poems, short stories, quotes and sensible articles. Most of her writing depicts human feelings and emotions, which she tries to bring out onto the page and into the minds of the reader. She believes that the essence of writing lies in not only entertaining the reader, but speaking to them through her words. [Taken from http://www.artihonrao.net]

 ‘Me’ Thinks

The very first thought that came to my mind as I finished reading this book was Wow! Wish this was possible! Like always Arti Honrao has managed to touch hearts, move to tears and still leave you with a smile by the time you finish the book.  Human relationships have been depicted very beautifully here with liberal dose of love which has the capacity to overpower the supernatural as well. The beautiful bond between a mother and a daughter has been showcased in all its grandeur making you feel blessed to have witnessed it. I truly like the simple, lucid and touching writing style of Arti where the choices of right words create the desired impact on the reader leaving him on an emotional high. This book is truly a treasure for all book loves purely because of its high emotional quotient and is highly recommended for people who love reading beautiful stories filled with love.

The most wonderful aspect of her writing would be her ability to breathe life into completely lifeless characters as she makes them come alive page after page, emoting feelings and tugging your heart leaving you moved by the entire experience. Thank you so much Arti for giving me the chance to witness something as beautiful as this as love in its pure form is something very rare in today’s world!

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear.

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.
