"Don't use the phone. People are never ready to answer it. Use poetry." _ Jack Kerouac 'Thousand Unspoken Thoughts' brings together the collection of poetry of an amateur poet who uses words to see through the world. Prerna, though being an Advocate by profession believes that writing is where her heart lies. The collection is a passage through her mind, where innumerable dreams and aspirations, are brought down to ink. Her writing is not confined to any age group; hence, no censor certificate is required. Keeping that thought aside, she believes in the power of ink, and her poems stand as witness. "

Me thinks

After a long while I read a debut poet's collection and was mighty impressed with it!

When I read the name I was skeptical as I usually am of debut authors and poets. But this lovely lady knows how to charm her readers with beautiful words strung together to create magical poetry. This book is a collection of 50 poems and each one is a masterpiece. The most beautiful part about her book is that each of the poems are befitting examples of "slice of life" and hence make it thoroughly enjoyable. There is no love and longing in it, but there is depth and chaos of daily life in them.

A perfectly bite sized book that can brighten your weekend and at the most apt prize too! Grab it, to relive the beauty of poetry in those words.

Foodie Verdict

This book is like corn patties - perfectly spiced and fried to brighten up a rainy weekend afternoon!

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...
