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!

'Sannaz' literally means grace, love, emotions. It is a beautiful word that is an apt title for this book. .
. 'Sannaz' by Sagar Datta is a collection of soulful 'shayaris'. In his attempt to introduce the young generation to the art of poetry and shayari, the author has touched several subjects namely love, longing, life, relationships, and friendship. His melodious verses also bring out the beauty of dreams, reality, and god's pure and unconditional love.
The author has deftly carved his brimmimg emotions and expressions to fill the good living within us. The urdu shayaris are written in english and the best part is that the meaning to typical urdu words are provided in the book. 
Moreover, the illustrations are pretty and shayaris are simple and a few of them strike a chord with your heart. One of them goes like - "kyuki qismat ki har baazi, teri baazi nahi hoti." Such is the variety served in the book. Although the presentation and the ambit of subjects covered are notable, not all shayaris would intrigue you. .
.

So, if one wants to go through a wonderful presentation and like to read more of romance, can go for this book.
.
.

And yes! The cover piqued my interest. It is amazing!
.
.

My Rating: 3.5/ 5

What seemed to be a typical glitzy tale of Bollywood turned out to be a gripping thriller clutched in the tentacles of a giant conspiracy to stop the end of ….. World!
.
.

Our protagonist Natasha hates her name but would have never imagined it being her nemesis. It is this Natasha Mehra, the name, that is responsible for so many corpses stacking one against the other all over the world. And why so? The answer lies here in Natasha Mehra Must Die. The action-packed story starts off with full force. Actually, the story didn’t captivate me initially, but a very energetic narration which swept me off my feet. I find it in books rarely and I am glad that this book lifted my spirits. The story proceeds with another character Appu coming into the picture who is a serial killer. It was bewildering to read through her demonic ways of laying people to rest for eternity. Through the tumultuous ways of life and terrifying revelations, the pace of the book skyrockets and we feel the adrenaline rush within us. The two women meet, the assassin and the prey, and together they embark on a journey to defend all the Natashas. What took me off-guard was the climax which unveiled the mystery behind the highest power interested in wiping out all the Natasha Mehras from the world.
.
.

It was absolutely a fantastic ride with this book which had a perfect blend of language and narration. No wonder it was a page-turner for me. A short book of around 200 pages had all the dark shades mixed with blood, flesh, and gore and my heart was pumping at the scene of monstrosity spread in the pages. There is the character of Natasha which won my adulation and there was Appu’s which stunned me. Together, their camaraderie brought failure to Kul’s master plan. And the most striking feature is the suspense which uncovers on the last page – the real face of the wanted Natasha Mehra! What an amazing development of the book along with jaw-dropping thriller… Wow!

भीड़ नहीं बनना है मुझको,
भीड़ में अलग सा दिखने है मुझको।
खो नही जाना कोई भी बनकर
पाना है आसमान 'कुछ' बनकर।
वक़्त बेवक़्त आती आंधियों में
तूफानों में
साहिल तक जाने को सहारा नहीं लेना है
न बनना है, भीड़ मुझको।
अपने दम पर, जुनून बेहद सर पर सवार रख
बढ़ना है, चलना है, लड़ना है।
भीड़ नहीं बनना है,
भीड़ में होकर भी,
भीड़ से अलग सा दिखना है।

Metamorphosis is a quick and breezy read revolving around a salesman, Gregor Samsa, who wakes up one morning to find that he has turned into a gigantic ugly insect. This transformation in his being drifts him apart from society and his family who refuse to acknowledge their once healthy brother and son.
.
.

Initially, the book didn't get me. It appeared weird and dragged unnecessarily. I found the story unrelatable and queer to an extent that I vowed not to pick it up again. But as I closed it and left my mind to ponder over its content, I understood what Kafka wanted to convey all throughout. Little do we realize in our lives that we change exceedingly well with time. Little do we realize our own fallacies and imperfections and yet we expect others to accept us with all the magnanimity. We have this innate character of altering our attitudes toward people according to our needs. We are borne out of our natural but absurd behaviors toward the changing landscapes around us. And howsoever hard we may try to admit that we remain same, we don't. We are selfish, impregnably wicked, unchangeably cruel and we won't ever accede to the truth. This is where our ugliness resides and thrives. And this is what this book, The Metamorphosis, beautifully brings out. It brings to the fore our crooked faces hidden behind masks, it lifts the veil on our reality. And perhaps, this is the reason why most of my contemporaries could never swallow the bitter pill it is.

BOOK REVIEW:
.
.

It all began in the jolly ambiance with food and chatter, it proceeded with chance meetings and certain rendezvous, it held on to its own pace with a few unbelievable revelations, scattered characters, and their stories, and it ended with one thing - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
.
.
The Great Gatsby is a slow but penetrating tale of a man who meets a tragic end. A life he lived amidst glam and glitz drowns altogether in the cacophony of his death. His fortune, the one he built with utmost pain and struggle, grapples to keep him alive in the end. So much to read in this book, so much to absorb, and so much attention it would demand from you.
.
.
Not all characters intrigue you. In fact, their idiosyncrasies might beat the hell out of you but still, love and ambition will reach you. Despite a laggard narrative that seems to be dragging or boring at places, a certain flame of human behavior will engulf you. The ugly truth would stare you coldly when after immense socializing too, Gatsby's funeral sees none who were actually supposed to be there. How the world changes in a flash of a moment, read this The Great American Novel to know. And finally, you learn -
. “Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead.”
.

‘The Anonymous‘ is a tale of a girl who is tortured to the point she almost dies but still, doesn’t lose her will to live. It is about a girl Natasha, our protagonist, who bears the brunt of the past and decides to force past her life through her nightmares. She wants to move on and so she did, with the help of a love which embraced her in the darkness and stayed to re-introduce her to the light.
.

The book is written well with a story which is strong, with a narration that is very effective at certain points. The author has managed to carve the pain of a tortured girl nicely. This effort of hers to paint the picture of the horrendous incident vividly and bring out the trauma associated with it is commendable. This thing has sent shivers down my spine, literally. The powerful storyline with an equally compatible narration made this book worth reading. I finished it in a sitting.
.

The book vacillates between Natasha’s past and her present. And the best part is, the link doesn’t appear amiss anywhere. It is well connected and presented. The beginning itself too me by surprise and with the flow, it interested me. Such stories of a female protagonist who struggles to avenge her grief must be floated more.
.

The character of the villain, Umang, is the worst. He seemed to be overly outrageous about a NO. This aspect of his character could have been sketched in a more appropriate manner. Sid’s character was fine but should have been developed more finely. He needed space, a better transformation which remains overdue in the book. The whole presentation should have been worked upon to take the voice of the characters to a greater segment of readers. The writing style is something that can be very good in a story like this.
.

In all, the book is definitely good for a one-time read but it is not able enough to leave a lasting imprint on the minds.

The book kickstarts with the story of a King who is worried about his three dumb and less efficient sons. He calls the illustrious Shiva Varma to educate his offsprings and that’s where the whole book revolves around. The further story is told through the conversations between jackals – Damanaka and Kartaka.
.
.

The book though is pretty lengthy succeeds in luring us to stay with it till the end. The character development and execution of their actions has been done really well. The stories are well scripted and the exchanges between different characters are amazing. What I loved the most about this book is the author’s command over the language. It is worth praising and delightful to walk through a narrative meticulously crafted by the author. A lot of research and brainstorming has been put into bringing out the characters and the stories lingering around them. Also, the vivid description of each story has a different lesson and different reason for the reader to hold onto the book. The vital life lessons presented in the book serve as a refreshing experience.
.
.

It was hard for me to get to a point but I feel that the crux of the book lies in the fact that through animals as characters and relating them to the classic Panchatantra, the author wants to penetrate in the psychology of humans.  Why do they commit certain actions, their peculiar habits, their lifestyle, points towards ‘us’. It’s like through Panchatantra, he desires to highlight the flaws in modern humans and direct them towards the path of righteousness. So, I would say that the book has gripped its readers with its novel approach and engaging content. Overall, the wonderful narrative coupled with equally impeccable language has made up for a joyful reading experience.

'Be more than what you are taught to be.'
.
.

The book kickstarts with a few anecdotes to highlight our discipline-centric approach to education. It begins with explaining anti-fluidity and slowly moves towards the coveted subject of Fluidity. Now you would be wondering whether what the heck is all about fluid & anti-fluid. I leave that for you to find out!
.
.
I never thought that a non-fiction book could be interesting but this one has broken my mental barriers. I was bound to love it for its unique content and fantastic narrative. It primarily deals with the education system and the reservations we have for subjects. A normal person is of the opinion that once you are into business, you should be doing only that. Once you have taken up arts, science is of no use to you. Once physics becomes your forte, why to even shed a thought to pursuing other disciplines? And this is where exactly the author hits.
.
.

I loved the book to the core. It has been made interesting by providing some stupefying insights into the minds of great people. This book is easy to read with unique concepts and lucid language. It busts our myths intelligently. It makes us curious to pursue the exploration. It gives us a fresh perspective which is crucial for us to sustain and thrive with abundance.
.
.

So, for any type of reader, regardless of the fact that you read or not, pick up this book for it has some valuable thoughts to stimulate and nourish your brains!

I’ve been meaning to read Rootless for a long time after listening to all the rave reviews it received. So, when I got to know that the book is running free, I thought it best to grab the opportunity and dive into it. I am elated that I made a right pick there!
.
.
Rootless is an evocative tale bringing out the story that lingers in the past and is waiting eagerly to catch us. A story which has love, patriotism, sacrifice, humanity, and friendship! A story which speaks of the many lost lives, of the many bruises people have on their hearts, of the many bitter memories, of the many entanglements of religion and nation, of the many atrocities the people were subjected, of the many dreams that were put to test and rest!
.
.
I am in no mood of giving the spoilers so go and check out the book for yourself. And why do I loved it? Here’s why:
.
.
• It dwells on a topic which hasn’t been read by me before. It revolves around the events leading to the Liberation War of 1971and brings out the substance very well. By the way, have you heard of the ‘war child?’
.
.
• The narrative is compelling. It points toward one thing – Humanity is above Blood! The message is clear and piques our interest with full strength and then the book finishes off in style.
.
.
• It brought me to the old charm of hand-written letters. Aah! It is so amazing to behold the writing that goes to and fro with the exchange of letters. .
.
• The narration is fine and detailed. Yet, there were points where I felt that the story could have been tightened. Perhaps, a round of editing would do it well.
.
.
• Lastly, it is pretty much unconventional and emotional and a thing like this, should not be left behind. So, go and pick this book up!
