Book Review - Different Shades Of Women

Title - Different Shades Of Women Author - N.S Ravi Genre - Fiction Publishers - Author Paradise ISBN - 8944571548429 Nuranis Ravi is a critically acclaimed author who has been successful in penning different stories of different genre and has been successful in getting them reaching the readers like me in the most efficient way. I pretty much liked his other two novels including the last one Khan Vs Kahn Vs Kanh which has had a different dimension to a novel. Different Shades Of Women is a unique book. I would say all the 8 short stories included in this beautiful book speaks about womanhood. It talks in detail about the emotions faced by women who don various roles in their lives - as a Child, Sister, Mother, Wife, Sister-in-Law, Mother-in-Law. Each story talks about these roles in detail and would make you cry for sure. I would not talk much about the stories because it would become a spoiler otherwise. It talks about the general issues faced by women when ...

Book Review - The Heavens We Chase

Title - The Heavens We Chase Author - Lavanya Shanbhogue - Arvind Genre - Fiction Publisher - Roli Books ISBN - 978-81-86939-80-2 The Heavens We Chase is a novel written by Lavanya Shanbhogue - Arvind. The story was set in the Pre-Independence period. It revolves around two main characters namely Satyajit aka Satya and Saraswathi aka Sarah . Since the story isn't a thriller or a crime genre, it moves slowly but at the same time, you wouldn't feel bored which is what I would say is the speciality of this novel. If you are a lover of classics, I am sure that you would appreciate this novel beyond any doubt but even otherwise, this would take us back to the past which would give you a first hand information on how the days were back then. The story runs in two parts - one that of the protagonist Satya who wanted to become rich despite his background. He was an orphan since his mother dies of a snake bite and was charged with a brutal murder. Why and wh...

Are you breathing safe air inside your home?

Pollution has become a part and parcel of our life. While some are ignorant about it, others do not give proper attention that it deserves. We mostly have a common notion that pollution exists only outside our house. If you had that opinion till date, its time to get it changed. Pollution exists even inside our house. First and foremost, it is the dust which gets accumulated at our house. While we think, it is the spiders and its cobwebs which is the major pollutant, you are incorrect. It is we, who are the major pollutants. Yes. It is human beings. Our body is designed in such a way that hundreds and thousands of our skin cells die everyday and it gets replaced by fresh cells. Where does these go? It falls on the floor inside our house as minute particles which is the major composition of dust. We think that it is because of something else. We can clean it by having to clean the floor everyday with a broomstick. Then comes the cob webs. It is undoubtedly a pollut...

What is being healthy according to you? There are many notions for this. Being healthy to some is being muscular. To some, it having greater stamina. While all these are globally accepted phenomenon, being healthy according to me is stop falling sick often and looking young even when you are ageing.

There are many ways to achieve it. I have few secret ingredients which can hep you achieve them. If you are already aware of these, you may ignore.

Laughter can give you relaxation to both your body and yo...

Title - The Quest of the Sparrow Authors - Kartik Sharma and Ravi Nirmal Sharma Genre - Self Help Story(Fiction) Publishers - RUPA Publishers ISBN - 978-81-291-1865-3 A story which would make you dig deep into yourselves to realise your real potential.

The plot is a very inter...

My granny & some evergreen memories

Some would be lucky to have been raised by grandparents from both the sides - Mother and Father. I wasn't lucky enough from my father's side since his dad passed away many years before my birth and my granny passed away when I was hardly 5 year and hence I do not have much to recollect or remember about her though I remember her face. However I was lucky to have been raised by my grandparents from my mother's side. They were simply the best atleast till I was grown up to some extent. They showered me with their unconditional love since I was the first baby boy born for their kids. I use to sleep between them and I have always been very fond of both of them. I still remember, when I use to get annual holidays, my grandpa use to come to my place travelling all the way from his place, the very same day to pick me up and go. He use to get me the best food and chocolate and whatever I wished. I till remember a huge air plane balloon he bought for me which I kept it f...
