Cancer Prevention is a quick read and offers a lot of concise information. A great tool to have in your fight to prevent cancer.



Cancer is a disease you would not want to wish even for your worst enemy. I have seen it closely in my family as my aunt suffered from it. There was very little we could do apart from be a mute witness to her pain and pray for her. 

Written primarily for cancer prevention this book comes across as a very well researched book with over 30 recipes to include turmeric, ginger and garlic in your diet. According to the author's research consuming these three items on a daily basis can help you prevent cancer to a very large extent. 

Given the erratic life styles we lead compared to what our parents or grandparents had, one should not be surprised if cancer soon is considered a life style disease like B12 deficiency, blood pressure etc.I like the way the author starts with what causes it and goes on to talk about everything from food to technology that we use to the utensils kept in kitchen for cooking. He shows how each and every thing has a role to play, and a small negligence from our end could lead to disastrous results. 
The writing is very crisp, making it a quick read. This book can be easily called a ready reckoner on a day to day basis for healthy living. Though written with the intention of preventing cancer, I feel the book has a holistic approach towards a healthy lifestyle altogether.  The way we binge on junk food, barely exercise and have a sedentary lifestyle this book serves as an eye opener for us to take precautionary measure before it is too late.

Strongly recommended for each and every person as this book is a guide to living a healthy and long life.

Movie Review: If by Tathagata Ghosh – A Tender Portrait of Love, Loss, and Possibility

If , a 26-minute short film by acclaimed Bengali filmmaker Tathagata Ghosh, is a sensitive, evocative piece of storytelling that lingers long after the credits roll. Set against the everyday rhythm of life in Kolkata, the film delicately unpacks the story of a lesbian couple torn apart by the weight of societal expectations and dares to imagine a different future, one where a mother's love might just change everything.  What struck me first was the film’s raw, grounded realism. The characters feel like people we know, middle-class families navigating a complex world with quiet resilience. The world of If is filled with silences, glances, and stills, rather than heavy dialogue. Ghosh masterfully uses these moments to speak volumes, allowing viewers to sit with discomfort, interpret the unspoken, and feel deeply.

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.

The Urban Gaze : Reimagining the Village in Contemporary Indian Cinema

Indian cinema has long been fascinated with the village. From the earthy, socialist realism of Do Bigha Zamin (1953) to the melodramatic lament of Mother India (1957), the village once stood as both heartland and hinterland — a space of moral clarity, rustic struggle, and often unyielding fate. But as the urban middle class began to dominate cinematic production and consumption, the depiction of the village increasingly came to reflect an urban gaze, that is, a perspective shaped by distance, nostalgia, condescension, or even outright fantasy.  In recent years, this urban gaze has taken on new shades, evident in the way mainstream and indie filmmakers alike have re-engaged with rural India. While some have tried to explore the village as a site of resistance, authenticity, or even horror, others continue to reproduce sanitized or exaggerated versions of village life that serve urban sensibilities more than rural realities.
