REVIEW: THE LLP MAGAZINE

Literature is a textually transmitted disease, normally contracted in childhood. And I contracted this disease of reading a genre of books since I was in grade 5th.

On the constant look out of new and exqusitive collections of books and after reading and being greatly inspired by Purba Chakraborty's Mythological Monologues, I was intrigued enough to look what more she had in store. In lieu with the same, my eyes fell on The LLP magazine.

To put it into short mostly what made my endorphins rush at the very first place was its cover. Vintage, Ah! I so loved the vintage looking appearance of the beautiful portrait of a women grafted on the front itself. Can't really emphasise over my excitement any more.

The LLP Magazine basically is a half yearly magazine coming up as the summer and winter editions. So this one consists of Literary articles, recommended reads by the author, art works and some short stories. Moreover what I loved most about this magazine is, it has featured Agatha Christie, about her life and best 7 stories by her.

It also talks about the concept of Existentialism in Dan Brown's latest novel. There are other enthralling literary pieces as well in the magazine which add up to its overall impression that it casts on the readers. I must say that the author's attempt at creating such a versatile literary piece is worth appreciating.

To comment on its overall look out, I would say it is really a spectacular work and really a worth it one, for literature enthusiasts. Infact it is great to see that such immense efforts have been put forth to compile all the literature and related creative pursuits at one place.

I would like to give it a rating of 5/5.

Also you can grab the kindle edition of this book from Amazon:

DESCRIPTION How did Ahalya feel when Sage Gautam cursed her to be a stone? How did Eklavya feel when Dronacharya asked for his right thumb as his Guru Dakshina? How did Karna feel when he learned he was the brother of the Pandavas before the Kurukshetra war? How did Draupadi go through the various trials and tribulations of her life? What was her anchor? How did Arjuna feel after being enlightened by Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra? The friendship of Sudama, the love of Radha, the longing of Rukmini, the devotion of Shabari, the compassion of Sita, and the revenge of Shikhandi also find a place in this book of dramatic monologues.

Maybe, you will find yourself in some of them. 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 ac
