You Are The Only Beautiful Thing – Poem

In the backdrop of metaphors

I write poetries

which ring aloud in my head

but hesitate to rest on my tongue.

verses holding your whiff and thoughts

help me in untying my knots

more than a cure for my mordant dispositions

you are an elixir, a food for thought.

from dawn to dusk

from a fragrance which is vaguely similar to musk

I draw you to the center of my musings

as if there exists, for me, only one focus.

the swelling pride of my writer instincts

the characteristic charm of your elusive being

everything boils down to only one junction

where you become my muse

and I lay my pen on you

to carve the only beautiful thing

my heart ever knew!

QOTD: How many books do you read at a time?
.
.

I started Narasimha this morning and I am loving the story so far. In fact, I am multitasking with reading 4 books simultaneously and trust me, it is so much fine. A better way to rush through your review copies without shoving yourself in a reading slump.
~Book Recommendation~
.
.
.

This is my first book by Devdutt Pattanaik and I couldn't agree more that he stands as a fantastic weaver of Indian mythology. Ganesha's Secret is a brief account of the mythology behind Lord Ganesha who represents abundance mindset. Several theories behind his birth are put forth lucidly. The book deals with the lesser-known facts about Ganesha and the reasons behind him being called Vinayaka and Ganapati. How does Ganesha's presence relate to the knowledge and wealth are also described well. I loved each thing discussed here thoroughly. Right from Lord Shiva's act of beheading Ganesha to Ganesha trying his best to not let the Shiva Lingas be placed in Lanka, everything was mesmerizing. Also, there were illustrations coupled with their explanations which enriched my reading experience. One should definitely read the author's work to get an idea behind the prominent notions regarding our mythology. What would intrigue you as a reader will be the narrative's uniqueness of content as well its sheer simplicity.

Takes a deep breath and starts off the rant!

After looking at the cover, I was highly excited to read The Children of Destructionbut what met me was an utter disappointment and a heavy reading slump. The story is a young adult fantasy fiction which has magic at its core. The protagonist Alice is a child gifted with magical powers and when she realizes it, things around her begin to change.

Let me talk about what I specifically liked in this magical book!

The plot is very strong. The narrative is taut and gripping.

There are too many characters which might excite children for they love reading heroic tales and that of villains.

Alice’s sarcasm which kept me entertained in the book. In fact, the beginning was sound but as more subplots are introduced, I found myself lost.

The language – it is amazing. I personally love books which employ effective literary prowess.

The character development seemed nice to me.

What I didn’t like was the implementation of the plot. The narration is very good but the narrative failed to impress me. Too many characters and their entry in the story was abrupt and annoying. But anyway, the book would turn out to be an ideal companion for the kids given that it has a magical storyline.

~ The more you read, the better you write. ~

I keep on getting queries from people whether how can one become a writer. And this does put me into a little doubt if there's actually any recipe to become a writer. I mean I have never shed thought to a point if I need to go through formal education to write well or to get a certificate course to be able to articulate impeccably. Writers write when a thought strikes them hard. Writers write when an idea compels them to inject words into their thoughts. Writers write when they read and write. .
. ~ How does reading help? ~
.
.

Reading books help in learning the art of writing. You get to know the techniques of sentence structure, the grammar, rhythm of language, way of building up coherence, and not to forget the vocabulary. Reading inspires to write. When you read, ideation takes place in your brain, the seed of a thought germinates and as you nurture it further; the product comes out on paper. Active reading helps you to form opinions, learn different aspects of life and literature, draw perceptions out of you to paint a vivid picture as you let your inner voice come out. In short, reading plays a vital role in shaping you as a writer. So, the next time you find it hard to write, just fall back on your books and devour them. You'll definitely find a reason to scribble!

QOTD: Have you ever felt like DNFing any book? Which one?

The Children of Destruction is giving me a hard time in understanding its plot, characters, narrative, etc. I am almost halfway through the book and still wondering where it is heading to. .

Hello @tbb_box
.
.

I am Khyati Gautam from our very favorite, City of Lakes & Nawabs, Bhopal. An Engineer and a proud book blogger, here's I sending my entry to be your Rep!!
.
.
Taking a dig at who I am, I am a big-time book hoarder who surely buys more books than I could read. Reading could be fun and enticing when I discovered the book reviewing as a profession. It's been more than 2 years doing it and I must say that the love from this community has definitely brought me more books and an ever-growing and ever-supportive network. What's better than loving what you do but what if you choose to do that inherently resides in you! Reading has been instilled in me since my childhood and gradually morphed me into becoming a writer. So yes, I do have a way with words (I ain't bragging but yeah, it is something I am equally committed to). I prefer quality and quantity, I know how to prioritize things and manage n number of things because hey! it is the most essential trait of that of an aspiring business professional. I started bookstagramming 10 months back and I am pretty much adoring this place. I have come to discover amazing people and fantastic books.
.
.
You should be selecting me for I am an introvert for the muggles and an extrovert for pretty passionate bibliophiles. I am still learning to do good photography so if there's any scope for admitting a learner in your lovely group, I would want to be the one 🙈. And in no way, I want to miss this out because say it desperation, but having more books and bookish merch to see, feel, and talk about is a beautiful thing. Also, who would not want to associate with YOU!!

Of late, I have been receiving continuous requests from people as to how should one motivate oneself to read. Though hearing this makes me happy because people are now developing an interest in reading books it is sad that they are directionless about how to do it. Remember, there can really be no external force pushing you to grow that penchant for reading and this truth will stand its ground forever. It is you and your actions which will aid you in reading more.

A habit is said to be formed if you practice it regularly and wholeheartedly. So, if you are keen to become a reader, here are some of the tips that might be of help to you.

Keep aside a chunk of your day exclusively for reading. In this way, reading will become an inextricable part of your routine.

Reading has numerous benefits for the brain and heart. But it all works only if you enjoy the process. If you wish to read more, then you'll have to love reading.

Pay regular visits to a library or a bookstore. The ambiance of books will surely motivate you to pick a book and get going.

Join a book club in your near vicinity or become a member of an online book forum. Interacting with the like-minded peeps will help you a lot in shaping your reading habit and improving your taste.

Don't be in a hurry to read. Be calm and composed in picking up a short and easy read to start with. You don't need to work on hyped books to call yourself a reader.

Experiment with the genres you read. To discover what specifically interests you, you need to mix and match with what you read. A change in the genre can help you in engaging yourself with reading.

Keep a track of what you read. Set a goal on websites such as Goodreads and try to complete it. Challenging yourself is one of the best ways to improve manifolds in any area.

Keep away your distractions when you read. NO mobile phones around. We, humans, are prone to be easily distracted. So, make sure that when you read, you only read!

I hope these tips help you in motivating yourself to read more. Note that these are steps you need to take on your own to accomplish your goal. So, shred your doubts and get set Go!

I have heard so much about Marquez’s books. He is known to weave his stories wrapped in magical realism. His writing style is one of those that enchant you completely. And to get all those heard words right, I picked up this one as my first Garcia’s read. No wonder he is a Noble Prize Winner in literature.

Chronicle Of A Death Foretold is a gripping story that portrays the shame of the society which believes in the virginity of a woman only if she can produce a crimson stain on the white sheet after her first night. This formed the plotline of this book. Angela is returned to her parents’ home after her husband Bayardo discovers that she is not a virgin. Her mother beats her up to get the name out of her mouth who deflowered her. She utters, “Santiago Nasar.” Hearing this, her twin brothers set on a fury mission to kill the young man. They announce their plan of killing Santiago to everyone in the town. Yet he could not be saved from succumbing to the children’s play of stabbing. To know why, read the book.

It is a fine piece of literature that develops its story slowly, taking its own sweet time. I liked how the author manages to keep the reader hooked to the book till the last page without any evident suspense. The book keeps its readers attached to it solely on the grounds of its spellbinding narration. The narrative is smooth and the central plot intriguing. Although there were so many characters to puzzle me, in the end, the book did captivate me. I would recommend this book to people who already have a good command over language and possess a habit of reading a little complex literature. For the newbies, wait for a while before you embark on exploring Marquez’s world.

Reading Update 📖
.
.

I am planning to pick this up today for I have been too late to already read it. Also, I am craving for monsoons now. The sweltering heat has been increasing now. I wish they arrive soon! 
QOTD: What have you been up to these days? .

#bookishfame #bhopalbookstagram #bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookdragon #bibliophile #bookblogger #books #booksbooksbooks
Being a remarkably smart person in the room is inevitable in today’s fiercely competitive environment. Each one of us wants to be better than the rest. And why not? After all, if one wants to survive in the current scenario, he ought to have that extra edge!

If you go around asking people about their views on skimming through a paperback, most of them will give a thumbs down. According to a majority of a population, reading is a mundane activity that demands a lot of patience. 
But the truth remains intact that books have the unique power to bring out a change in you. There is no denying the fact that books have the ability to inculcate wisdom in you and fill your lives with happiness and knowledge galore. It not only acts as the best means to spend your leisure time but also gifts you a wonderful insight. Only a voracious reader can appreciate the art of writing. If you want to satisfy your appetite for a smarter personality, go and grab a book. .
.

Reading helps in fostering analytical skills in people. Reading is proven to develop your emotions in a healthy manner. They make you empathetic towards the people around you. Reading makes one articulate in a better way. It enriches your vocabulary, develops higher order reasoning and promotes critical thinking. Apart from personal growth, books also help in the progress of a society. The reports of different research conclude that readers are more likely to help non-profit organizations due to their flair at handling emotional conundrums. .
.
.

Keeping all these points in mind, trust me on this thing that once you get comfortable in the world, reading will eventually become the best time of your day. If you desire to get ahead, go and seize a book!
‘The umbrella was like a flower, a great blue flower that had sprung up on the dry brown hillside.’
.
.

A pretty little umbrella which is blue in color brings unbound happiness in Binya’s life. She carries it everywhere with so much love and affection. There is this old shopkeeper Ram Bharosa who is eyeing this prized possession of the young girl of Garhwal. He tries to have his way and get the umbrella under his paws. Would he be successful?

A simple and short story of kindness and humanity is The Blue Umbrella. In this classic novella, Ruskin paints a vivid image of Garhwal where the story is set. Binya exchanges her leopard’s claw pendant for the blue silk umbrella. And when she comes across the frenzied and despairing state of Ram Bharosa, she does the unimaginable. As she says that an umbrella is not everything. This displays her sensibility and humility. This act of hers opens the heart of the old shopkeeper and positivity flows in. In short, there is a mix of heroism and redemption in this sweet story which is an ideal read for kids but could be equally enjoyed by the adults.

A selfless and unconditional love between siblings coupled with a grim reality of the Indian society forms the backbone of Give Your Heart A Break. It is a heartwarming tale of an ambitious young woman Aadya who finds herself dying in a tormenting relationship and decides to step out of it only to face more grave issues and challenges which would test her resilience. Would she ever come to terms with her dark memories and eye her aspirations, all over again?
.
. 'It is okay to fall, be a mess, ruin things. What really matters is how strong your comeback is.'
.
.

This is the message delivered in the book through the life of Aadya. Her story represents all those women of our society who live their lives adjusting themselves in a marriage. They lose their voice, their perspective, their will to raise their voices. Their misery is looked down upon as something normal and they are taught to necessarily endure it to sustain their relationships. It is disheartening to read this aspect described in this book.

Through beautiful short messages delivered here and there in the book, the author attempts to instill positivity in his readers. I admire the character of Agastya which is brazen yet so soft. He is all ready to tackle the challenges being posed to his family. He is there to support his sister within no time. This beautiful sibling bond touched me. Along with that, Arjun’s character too attracted me. The character which didn’t appeal me much was that of Dimpy Aunty. Hers seemed to be an ideal one too good to be real.

The seamless flow of emotions in the book definitely hooked me to the book. There was no dearth of raw and true feelings in the narrative which has been presented very well. I really liked the lucid writing style and crisp narration which brought out the central story fabulously. The character development was fair enough. Moreover, the cover was aesthetically pleasing. It just caught my eyeballs instantly.

To put in a nutshell, it is an emotional story with a different plotline that primarily highlights the love of a brother and sister. One could definitely read it once.
