Excerpts from my diary

DESCRIPTION   How were the rules framed? They were framed based on the parameters. How was Parameter identified and on what authority? Parameters were identified based on the attributes of the Gita. The authority too is derived from God/Gita. Isn’t the identification process obsolete and unscientific? There isn’t anything more scientific than the Gita. Just see the explosion of Artificial intelligence applications, be it Drones, Siri, Echo, or Robots. They are all non-human but endowed with intelligence. MY REVIEW:  Books are  a treat for Book- lovers, however not all love mythologies. But, I recently went through a mythology and it blew my mind.  Picked up from the concept of the Bhagvad Gita, Aksara Bhagvad Gita is much more than the traditional narrative style used to decipher culture, values etc. It actually has the audacity to bind you to it. Not at all restricted to the religious aspects of Hindu mythology, this book sets out to define a completely differe...

 Life is a fruition of uncertainties, sorrow, grief and joy. We have absolutely no idea, what would happen next!  Things are meant to happen as they are destined to be. Purba's, You Came like Autumn is yet another masterpiece that I couldn't keep my eyes down, once I started reading it. An enchanting, sweet and subtle love story that binds you with it and captivates all of you. The chapters are crisp and the flow of the story is like a serene river, gives you peace and joy simultaneously. Infact, I would like to also mention, the way that the author has used to express every single emotion is just phenomenal.  The language and setting of the story is soothing, very precise and keeps your eyes and emotions glued to it. Also I am in utter awe and highly impressed by the protagonists . I really loved the book and would suggest everyone to give it a try, once for sure. I would like to gladly rate it a 5/5. You can get your copy from  Amazon: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B09...

   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 fe...

  DESCRIPTION The human mind has immense potential to transmute hell into a paradise or an Elysium. Humanity has been gifted with such miraculous potential which can be utilized to achieve integrated success or spiritual success that can benefit the entire universe and all of its inhabitants. Swami Vivekananda and Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda have reminded us time and again that human beings cannot know true happiness without knowing God and without knowing one’s Self. This book is a compendium of nuggets of wisdom and author’s recollection of epiphanies which will empower you, motivate you and awaken the giant within you. It will aid you in discovering the true purpose of human life and bequeath you infinite bliss. MY REVIEW After the successful completion of Vitamin H Volumes 1 and 2, Abhishek Deepa Thakkar is here with the third volume. This too a masterpiece and I know nobody would deny to this fact.  This book constitutes the author's life in various phases. It talks abo...

Many of us have special memories of the books that have inspired us, and have learned the profound effect that reading the right book can have at the right moment.  Books have the power to transport us to new worlds and different times, but they can also take us back to the important moments in our own lives. From building your vocabulary to reducing stress, preventing age-related cognitive decline and increasing your ability to empathize, reading books is an easy way to look after your mind and body. Whether you’re an avid reader or wish you read more, I really must emphasise greatly over my suggestion to you, to read Love and other Demons: The untold tales by the very audacious author Paras, a consummate at skilfully playing along with emotions, ofcourse by his pen. A compilation of 13 stories by him envisages human emotions, relationships, life, prostitution, breaking stereotypes etc.  The characters of his stories, though just in silent depiction speak a million words. Tho...

कविताएँ  मानवीय संवेदनाओं  को प्रकट करने का सबसे सरल साधन हैं । डा रश्मि जैन द्वारा रचित काव्य संग्रह अल्फाज़ की एक- एक रचना ने मुझे भीतर तक झकझोर कर रख दिया। उनकी विभिन्न  पंक्तियाँ ऐसी प्रतीत हुई की मानो मुझसे  ही बातें कर रही हों, वो भी अनगिनत। अपनी रचना में कवयित्री  ने रिश्तों, एहसासों, इश्क़, वफ़ा, बचपन, ख्वाहिश, सफ़र और ना जाने ऐसे कितने  ही विभिन्न विषयों का ताना बाना बेहद ही खूबसूरती से सन्जोया है। कहीं स्त्री की परिपक्व्ता पर अपने शब्दों  से हृदय भेदी तीर चलाए  हैं  तो कहीं बदलाव की पहल हो, इस पर भी ज़ोर दिया है। डा रश्मि की कविताएँ बदलाव, संभावना और उम्मीद जैसी भावनाओं से परिपूर्ण  हैं । इस कविता-संग्रह में भावों को बहुत ही बखूबी से शब्दों में पिरोया गया है। प्रत्येक कविता का सौंदर्य अप्रतिम है, किंतु कुछ कविताओं का वर्णन इतना मनमोहक है की वो पाठक को सम्मोहित करती हैं । शब्दों का चयन,भाषा बल्कि इस पुस्तक की हर एक बात, हर कविता भाव- विभोर करती है।  इस काव्य संग्रह ने  मुंशी प्रेमचंद, सुभद्रा कुमारी जैसे हस्तियों की याद ...

Don't let anybody tell you that your dreams are irrational or illogical. This quote from the book Vitamin H by Abhishek Vipul Thakkar, envisages what the book has to offer to its readers. After the volume 1 of this very book,  this one is a complete surprise package. It is a fruition of word treasures and it cuts straight to the heart. It is about life, its journey, love, achieving your goals, social issues and what not. All these pieces of enlightening quotes are like vitamin supplements that would make you mentally and emotionally strong. The author has tried to incorporate all the varying virtues interlinked with the world and our mere existence in it. The vocabulary usage, style of writing, content is pretty tempting and you can read and re read the quotes several times. In times of despair, gloom and dejection, Vitamin H will act as a friend and saviour for the readers. It would surely last an indelible impact on the minds of the readers.    I would like to rate it a...
