The virtual world we live in has given us the freedom and power to express everything without saying anything. The status messages we write on chat messengers and facebook are the manifestations of our inner voice which was waiting for all this time to be heard. Over the years based on numerous experiences, I have composed some of those messages and penned them down in this book. They are honest, blunt and straight from the heart. It's an attempt to bring them into existence in the physical world too.

Me thinks

I received an email from the author asking if I would be interested in reviewing this book. While I set out to explore the book, the name of the book clicked me somewhere. It stayed with me for long making me wonder what made the author name it like that. And when I saw the cover I knew I had to read it. It held a lot of questions for me to just let it go.

The day I received the book I had had a long hectic day at work and yet I couldn't stop my customary habit of flipping through the pages just to glance through it. Needless to add I ended up not only reading it but also finishing it in less than 2 hours. It is a quick breezy read with some very noteworthy quotes on each page. I liked the observations made by the author on life , relationships and other things which are many times left unnoticed by all of us.

I somehow love books of quotes like Paulo Coelho's Manual of the Warrior of Light. For me they hold a lot of answers, they show me way when I am lost and I can just open one page read that and keep it down without worrying what happened next. The bibliophile in me loves this sometimes for a change. It helps me unwind and that is what this book did too.

I enjoyed reading it and carried back a lot of lessons from it. Would recommend to you all for the sheer beauty of life the author has managed to capture in this. Wishing author all the best for his future endeavours, after such an amazing debut I am surely looking forward to his next excitedly!

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
