The Secret Window to Life : A Year of Wednesdays by Sonia Bahl

Copyright (C) Privy Trifles “ To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. ”― Oscar Wilde In life, we have a lot of in-betweens. Times when you want to say, but are scared to say and still want to be understood. Where you want to belong but want to be free too and can't define this exact complex feeling. This book is that 'in-between' for me. I simply cannot put in words my exact emotions after having read it. It talks about the intricacies of life, dreams, desires, relationships and a lot of other things so beautifully that you want to hug the book just to feel the warmth it manages to emote through its words.

A walk down the memory lane - Summer Holidays by Koral Dasgupta

Image Source: Amazon.in   “Don't you wish you could take a single childhood memory and blow it up into a bubble and live inside it forever?” ― Sarah Addison Allen This was my first thought the moment I finished reading the book. How often do we wish to take a time travelling machine and go back in time, only to bask in the sweet memories of childhood? And how often does a book manage to be that machine for you? Yes! You guessed it right, this book was my ticket to childhood, to the time when we would go to Nani's house and stay there till the schools reopened. A time when all the cousins gathered and did nothing but play the whole day. Everything that was anybody's favourite was cooked in the house and games were just that, games. Life could never have been better.

All about blood - Eternal Bonds by Manoj Singh

Having lost his father at an early age, Amit grows up in great hardship. Amit, his mother, and Supriya, his sister—who struggles with a disabling affliction that confines her to bed—still manage to live a happy life even as they nurture a collective dream: to see Amit become a doctor. Growing up in the comforting familiarity of Jabalpur, Amit fulfills this dream but life continues to place roadblocks to happiness. Amit’s wife, Nikita, suffers from schizophrenia and he is faced with the challenge of bringing up his children in an atmosphere of familial discord and distrust. Amit faces all these challenges, and yet, never turns away from any of the ties that bind him. Eternal Bonds brings to you the poignant story of a family that respects and nurtures the bonds of relationships in the face of severe emotional challenges. It is not everyday that you come across a book that moves you to tears and leaves you grappling with a plethora of emotions for days after having f...

Behind the book : Pragya Bhagat

As a book reviewer I can say, I am blessed to have had the opportunity of not only reading some amazing works but also having the chance to speak to them, know their story and share it with their world. Couple of weeks ago I had received an email from Pragya requesting me to review her poetry collection. What struck me the most about her email was, her story and that is exactly what made me say yes because someone who has been through such an interesting journey so far will definitely have a lot to say. And I wasn't disappointed at all. You can make that out from my review HERE about her work.  To let you know more about her, Pragya Bhagat was born in New Delhi, but spent her childhood in five different countries. At the age of fifteen she immigrated to America, where she studied Biology at the University of Texas at Austin. After graduating, Pragya taught science to sixth and eighth grade students at KIPP Austin College Prep.Volunteering with the survivors of the Bhopa...
