Behind the Book




Me thinks

This series is a collection of informative books with the lead character that of a kid called Mighty Raju who takes us through his adventurous world all the while teaching some thing new every time. The chapters written in lucid English with bright and colourful sketches matching the narrative make it a very enjoyable read.

The titles included in the series are as follows:
  1. Mighty Raju Activity Book
  2. Learn Numbers with Mighty Raju
  3. Math Lessons with Mighty Raju
  4. Learn Alphabets with Mighty Raju
  5. Learn colours with Mighty Raju
  6. Mighty Raju spends a day at the sea
  7. Mighty Raju goes to the zoo
  8. Mighty Raju goes to the mountains
  9. My India with Mighty Raju 
  10. Eating healthy with Mighty Raju
  11. Mighty Raju's Desert Adventure
  12. Mighty Raju's adventure on a train
  13. Mighty Raju at amusement park
  14. Mighty Raju goes into space
  15. Mighty Raju and Indian festivals
  16. Mighty Raju and the Karati Scare
The first five books in the series are exercise books wherein a child is encouraged to trace along the dotted line, fill colours, match the correct pairs , count the given figures and other such activities which will keep a child engrossed for hours productively. In a way this book is learning with fun making a child enjoy reading them as it is entertaining and fun. Kudos to the designing team of the book for bringing alive the scenes so well in the outdoor series especially that of beach, space, train, amusement park, desert etc which thrills a child beyond words. My niece squealed with delight every time I asked her to sit with me to read these books. She had the time of her life colouring the various pictures and drawing them matching dots / numbers.
 
In today's times when the attention span of children is very short with most of them being hyperactivity thanks to the multiple things they have around them to keep them active these books are a refreshing change. They will not only grab the attention of a child but also help you encourage them in inculcating the habit of reading gradually with these lovely cartoons sharing their experiences in an easy to connect manner. 
 
What I also admired about this whole series was the superior quality of the pages which was intact throughout. This is one series any child would love to have and any parent would encourage as a gift. Share this with your loved ones and see them smile every time they are told to study!

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
