MY REVIEW

Being an avid reader, I am a person who is ever keen at searching out good books and reading them. So recently, I came across Purba Chakraborty's, Mythological Monologues. This is a book that comprises of 26 dramatic monlogues of some very epic characters from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. 

I was in utter awe while I was going through the book. The various characters of Ahalya, Bharat, Kaikeyi, Urmila and other characters, their inner feelings are so beautifully presented by the author that it sets an indelible impact on the minds of the readers.

The book is tremendously gripping, usage of vocabulary, the content and placing of the ideas everything is just on point. It was quite intriguing to find out all that is there in the book. The book provides unique and fabulous content at your platter and you will for sure get enriching insights about our mythological characters.

I recommend everyone to read it once and I would gladly rate it 5/5.

तो इश्क़ करना जिस्म ही नहीं, रूह छू सको तो इश्क़ करना हुक्म नहीं, साथ बैठ सलाह ले सको तो इश्क़ करना फब्तियाँ कसना नहीं, कभी तारीफों में दो शब्द कह सको, तो इश्क़ करना मालिक नहीं, कभी हमराज़ बन सको तो इश्क़ करना परदे पर ही नहीं, असलियत में इज्जत दे सको तो इश्क़ करना महज दिखावे के लिए नहीं भरी महफिल में बेखौफ हाथ पकड़ चल सको तो इश्क़ करना अपनी शर्तों को मनवाना ठीक है, उसकी शर्तों पर भी कभी बेझिझक उतर सको, तो इश्क़ करना वो मेरी है इस बात की रट नहीं, कभी तुम भी उसके बन सको तो इश्क़ करना सात फेरों को मात्र साक्षी मान कर नहीं दिल से उसे जीवन में संगिनी बना हमराही बन सको तो इश्क़ करना।
