Book Review

Title: Legend of Suheldev by Amish(Writing Centre)

The book revolves around the great warrior of India, Suheldev, the younger brother of Malladev . The latter had sacrificed his life while saving the great Somnath temple of Gujarat from being destroyed by the Turkic hordes of Mahmud of Ghazni.

Avenging his brother's death and saving our motherland-India were the aims of Suheldev's life. With the aid of his confidant, Abdullah, Suheldev carried on his mission of antagonizing the Turks and preserving the temples of India.

The tender love saga between Toshani(the great female warrior) and Suheldev was quite heart-touching. Govardhan of Tomar and Aslan(who had his own mysterious identity) portrayed the supportive characters.

The book is highly recommended to all the Indians since they need to be aware of the great service of this brave warrior, whose service is unfortunately not covered under the history syllabus of the students and had hence gone unnoticed by many.

It therefore seems to be urgent to know about this bandit king and his meticulous ways of fighting the foreigners in a largely fissiparous Indian society.

Title: The Forest Of Enchantments by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Genre: Fiction; Mythology

Through the splendid representation of events in Ayodhya and Lanka, voiced by Lady Sita, emerges the Sitayan.

Seeing Ramayan through the perspective of Sita, the book upholds Sita's sufferings, her happiness & the epic journey of the goddess, who is venerated to this day.

I couldn't get over the last few words addressed by Lady Sita to her husband, Lord Ram: "I forgave you a long time ago. Though I didn't know it until now. Because this is the most important aspect of love, whose other face is compassion: It isn't doled out, drop by drop. It doesn't measure who is worthy and who isn't. It is like the ocean. Unfathomable. Astonishing. Measureless. "

This beautiful book deserves all your time and attention.

Book Review

Paulo Coelho has once again, subtly explained, with utter perfection, whether life is worthy enough to be lived. The story revolves around Veronika, who got exhausted due to the monotony of her life and committed suicide. But as fate would have it, she survived & found herself in a mental hospital at Villette & that was when she realised the true essence of life.

The story has certain vital characters who played a pivotal role & included Dr. Igor of Villette;Mari, a patient suffering from FEAR(panic attack) ; Eduard, a schizophrenic & a person with an affinity towards Visions of Paradise; Zedka, a person undergoing astral journeys.

Dr. Igor devised a stratagem by which he succeeded in realising Veronika the value of life, by telling a lie that her existence on Earth is numbered. The former's faith in the principle that a fear of the death makes a person to live more intensely, worked out & instiled in the fragile heart of Veronika the will to live again, with all its gifts and bounties and aroused a unfathomable, measureless love for living life to the fullest.

Rating: 4.8/5

Khaled Hosseini's writing charm triggers the gushing of emotions in an individual. Beautifully focussed on the unbreakable bonds of love between ten-year old Abdullah and her little sister, Pari, the book makes the reader traverse a journey of heartbreak, love, humanity, friendship and the element of hypocrisy through Idris, one of the characters of the book.
Highly recommended to all the bibliophiles.

Book Review: To kill a mockingbird

The Pulitzer Prize winning book is surely a delight to read!

Harper Lee's richly textured classic novel is a joy to read. Set amidst the beautiful rural scenario of Maycomb County(South United States) , the book throws light on the themes of racism and justice.

Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Lee vividly depicts the hypocrisy prevalent among the people of Maycomb County with exuberant humour. Atticus Finch emerges rather as an unconventional hero, trying hard to fulfil his duties as a single parent to his doting offsprings, Jean Louise Finch(Scout) and Jeremy Finch(Jem), with the aid of the cook Calpurnia.

Atticus Finch is a lawyer at the Maycomb county court-house, who tried all means possible to prove his negro client, Tom Robinson, innocent. The latter was wrongly charged with the rape of a white girl, Maywell. The folks of Maycomb county addressed Atticus as 'nigger-lover' owing to the sole fact that he was fighting for a Negro, a coloured man, which was quite unwelcome to certain folks of the countryside.

Scout & Jem's playful banter with Dill during the summer holidays & their fascination for Boo Radley(who used to remain secluded in his own quarters) made them curious to know why Radley remained a recluse. However, he later appears to be a very positive character as he helped the siblings at their most critical hour.

In a place where white people bear a loathsome attitude towards the colored people, it is hardly that justice will be delivered to Tom Robinson. Despite Atticus' efforts to prove his client innocent, Judge Taylor acquitted Tom guilty, who later met his end after a tragic incident.

Intriguing. Unputdownable.

A must-read for all the bibliophiles & thriller fanatics!

The book revolves around the protagonist Prisha Srivastav and her emotional tumultuous journey with her soulmate, Saveer Rathod. The story is packed with thrilling events which can suffice to keep the reader hooked to the book.

Saveer Rathod's life has turned too miserable to be able to bear. The persons who are endearing to him, unfortunately dies! Prisha too had to share the same fate, fortunately she lives & this marked the end of the first part of the book-'Forever is a lie'.

Novoneel Chakraborty dedicated the second part of the series to all those children who were not allowed to have a childhood. This gives a slight hunch to the readers that the tragic life of Saveer could have been caused by a person of his past, who was too close to him, probably his sibling who did not get the proper affection at such a tender age, and about whom Saveer was utterly oblivious of.

The Forever Series is recommended for all those avid readers, who are fans of a tale packed with dark romance & thrilling phenomena.

Tales of Holmes 🕵

Delve deep into the happenings at Baker Street with The Complete Collection Of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

The legendary character of Sherlock Holmes is well-known to all of us. His mind blowing methods of drawing inference and methodology at nabbing the culprit, leaves one gobsmacked.

I quite had superb time reading this awesome collection(more so because the entire set is enriched with illustrations 🤩).

The book also throws light on the shades of true friendship(depicted through the characters of Watson and Holmes) which makes it pretty commendable.

Lestrade of Scotland Yard, Gregson and other police officials were quite found to be helpful in some of Holmes' vital cases.

The Hound Of Baskervilles was my favourite, though all the novels were equally packed with thrilling happenings.
