Book Review - Growing Up : A book of poems

Title - Growing Up : A book of poems

Author - Ruhee Advani

Genre - Poetry

Publisher - BecomeShakespeare

ISBN - 978-93-88081-02-3

Growing Up is a collection of poems written by Ruhee Advani. The book is divided into two parts:

1. Thirteen to Fifteen Years

2. Sixteen to Eighteen Years

There are 74 poems in total with the first part having 27 poems and the second part having 47 poems. I must say that each and every poem was unique. Some caught my attention for the meaning, it conveyed. Though these poems were short, the meaning was universal and powerful.

In the poem called "Chameleons", I loved the 4th and the 5th line which goes like this

"Time's the painter

And change is the game"

How true those lines were...

The very next poem to the one mentioned above was "Ups and Downs" in which I liked the last 4 lines, in particular.

"Like waves in an ocean

Up and down

Down and up

Nothing will last forever"

While some poems were real long, Ruhee showed a contrasting difference by penning a 2 line poem(similar to an haiku though Haiku has 17 syllables with three lines of 5, 7 and 5).

The poem I am referring to is "Maybe"

"In this world of infinite possibility

Maybe there is a you and me"

They say words are powerful and the pen is mightier than a sword. You could feel and vouch it,when you finish reading these collection of poems. I think, it is enough said...

This book is available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook format.

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
