Me thinks

I was 17 when my first poem was published in an international anthology and since then one thing that has always haunted me is the need to have more poetry enthusiasts in Indian literary world as well.
This book seemed more like an answer to my prayers as I turned page after page to read some mind blowing poems. And ofcourse the beauty is more when you see so many of your friends there.

I loved the way each and every author has tried to weave magic through their words. The only disappointment was the different fonts used on each page which made it a not-so-good read.

Over all the quality of poems supersedes everything else giving you a wonderful time as you drown yourself in those poetic musings.

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: Rau -The Great Love Story of Bajirao Mastani by N.S. Inamdar (Translated by Vikrant Pande)

Introduction ISIN:  978-9382616801 Genre: Historical Fiction / Romance / Drama Publishers: Pan McMillan India Price:  Rs. 399/- ( I got this book from the publisher for a review ) ‘My eyes, they rain all the time My eyes, they rain all the time Till I see him in mine’ When Shrimant Bajirao Peshwa, feared by even the mighty Mughals, hears the exquisite Mastani sing, the passion that sparks between them grows quickly into a raging fire. The Peshwa defies his orthodox Brahmin heritage, declaring his love openly for the half-Muslim dancer, in the face of fierce opposition. A man way ahead of his time, Bajirao causes outrage when he marries Mastani, bringing her into his home as his second wife. N.S. Inamdar’s timeless tale, that has inspired both film and television, brings alive the romance, intrigue and valour of the eighteenth-century Maratha empire. This irresistible novel is one of India’s favourite love stories. Behind the book
