Book Review: Swimming through the Clouds by Rajdeep Paulus

I would firstly like to thank the author Rajdeep Paulus for sending across her book Swimming through the clouds for a review. 

It’s been a while I read a YA fiction and it was thoroughly refreshing reading her book. I had began to avoid YA fiction off late as they seemed to be having the same track and were beginning to drain me as I read them. But this book was different from the usual YA books that are floating around. The characters seem to be so real that at some points I cringed with them, shed copious tears and smiled seeing them happy. 


Swimming through clouds is a beautiful narration of heart touching tale between two people who are lost in life and are trying to find its meaning. They help each other evolve as they struggle through various stages of teenage and I truly admire the author for dealing with such delicate issues so beautifully.

The narration is so beautiful and lucid that it immediately connects you to the story making you want to keep reading it page after page so much so that when it ends you feel emptiness suddenly. As if you wanted the tale to just continue like that. I experienced the excitement of teenage crush, felt the pain of physical violence, pain of having lost a parent, the beauty of siblinghood and a whole lot of mixed emotions amidst these wonderfully written pages.

I would recommend this book for people who enjoy YA fiction as this one is surely not like other YA stories. The author has done an excellent job is writing a gripping story which moves you and leaves you feeling blessed!

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear. 

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre:  Non-fiction / Self help Publishers:  Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price:  Rs. 199/- (  I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
