Me thinks

I for one enjoy reading non fiction a lot. Be it self help or business and economics there is so much for learn from each one of them. This book is one such lesson which is very important for all of us. In today's times we all begin to exist rather than live. This is a reminder about how we need to learn how to live, and most importantly we need to aspire. We need to dream, strive to make them come true, believe in those dreams and also witness them come alive.

The book has been neatly divided into chapters which make it easy to understand and follow it. Like the blurb says it can easily be called a manual on how to achieve your dreams and it surely is powerful. From the language to the anecdotes to the methods suggested by the author all of them seem magical and act like a guide whenever you feel low or lost.

I really enjoyed reading the parts where the author talks about the major reasons on why we give up and couldn't help laughing at it. Yes it is true we have million reasons why we quit and when we listen to others reasons they all seem futile. Written with an intention of serving as a guide this book promises to be your companion as you embark on a journey of aspiring before expiring.

Recommended for all those people who are feeling lost and are looking for deeper meaning in life at this moment.

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
