Me thinks

Many moons ago I remember reading a book called How to cope with loss of love. Having read it at a time when life was testing me in various ways that book helped me a lot. At that time it was difficult to find a relevant book by any Indian author and though that book talked about things not prominent in our society I had to skip them and work around the other pluses of the book. Cut to 2016 when I found this book and the biggest thing that impressed me about the book is that after a long time I am reading a book by an Indian author where he talks about topics which till few years ago were unheard of in our country.

Neatly sorted into various categories and written in a language that is not only simple but also is communicative in the sense that it speaks directly to the reader this book is very powerful. It has many small exercises given after every chapter which when answered help a distressed mind largely. I liked the tell-tale way in which the book has been written in terms of sharing experiences, stories and also incidents which make us feel that we are not alone in this battle. Somewhere after reading the book you do gather courage to face life a bit more strongly even if you are not suffering from a broken heart this one is surely worth a read for the strength, positivity and hope it holds in its pages.

In my personal belief hearts don't break only because of love. They break even when your career isn't going the way you thought it would, on death of a loved one, or a pet or when you have to let go of a dream. There can be various reasons for a heartbreak and this book deals with all of those and helps you overcome your insecurities. 

Strongly recommended for one and all!

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

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.
