Me thinks

I loved the title of the book – pretty innovative, quirky and of course enticing a reader as it piques your interest. Though I feel the cover design could have been a bit more elaborative and detailed in terms of grabbing the reader’s attention.

For a debutant the author has done an exceptional job here. I simply loved the detailing done by the author, the emotions, the narrative, the flow – all deserve thumbs up for a first timer’s attempt.
The author has written the story exceptionally well dealing with human emotions beautifully. Yes the story line is touching and a little bit melodramatic but it never feels suffocating with the same old stuff. You are actually curious to read and know what’s in store ahead.

I would say please don’t go by the cover page or the fact that it is a debut novel. It is a wonderful read and surely a must read just for the beauty it has in terms of story and strong narrative.

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...
