Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai - Season 3 on ZEE5

When it comes to refreshing content on the OTT platform, ZEE5 has always had a special place among the viewers. They reached the pinnacle in a short time. Thanks to the overwhelming support by the viewers. We must note here that it did not happen overnight. The tireless efforts put in by various people collectively coupled with great content has made this possible. Needless to say, that I am one of the patronizers for little over 2 years. I have also talked about various programs from time to time since I could not desist to write about them for letting my friends and followers know about it. As of now the platform is available in 11 display languages namely Hindi, English, Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and Bhojpuri.

Book Review - Office Break: An Attempt on Image Based Poetic Snippets to Provoke Laugh & Thought during Office Break

Title - Office Break : An attempt on image based poetic snippets to provoke laugh & thought during office break Poet - G K Esitha Genre - Poems Publisher - Umayavel ASIN - B088DKZ27L A collection of real thought provoking poems. I would say this is a novel attempt since this is the first time, I am coming across a genre which is filled up with fun coupled with some great imagination. A story can be written on these lines but not the poems since it is real difficult to conceive the wordings and most importantly, the flow. Each and every poem has a picture which would make you think otherwise because our human brains are designed in such a way that we always try to connect the dots. I did the same trying to connect the title with the picture but I realized that I was incorrect, each and every time. Do not miss the foreword for sure. Each of the title were intriguing. I loved all the poems but would like to highlight some of them in particular which includes "...

Dhyan:  God has blessed me with a life where I have been able to travel the world and live among different kinds of people and have gained a lot of life experiences both good and bad.  I wish to enlighten people of a better way based on my life's insight and experiences into our heritage and the state we are in today.  2. How did you feel after publishing your books?

Book Review— The Real Wani—Kashmir’s True Hero: A Definitive Biography of Lance Naik Nazir Ahmad Wani

Title —The Real Wani—Kashmir’s True Hero: A Definitive Biography of Lance Naik Nazir Ahmad Wani Author —Sonal Chaturvedi Genre — Biographies & Autobiographies Publisher — Bloomsbury India ASIN —B084GVXKJQ I have read quite a number of books on Kashmir–based on insurgency, migration of Kashmiri Pandits, Pakistan-India Kargil war, or a simple love story against the verdant backdrop of the earth’s heaven. But never came across a story of a soldier that too hailing from the state itself. Curious enough, I got my copy from a friend. According to this book, the real hero of Kashmir is Lance Naik Nazir Ahmad Wani instead of that slain terrorist Wurhan Wani. The title itself is strong enough to stir inquisitive among the people. I finished reading the paperback version of the book in less than a week’s time. The story took me on a tour where I saw how a young hardworking Kashmiri lad sets his journey till he is conferred with Ashoka Chakra posthumously. His personal jo...

Book Review – The Burning School by Sandesh Raj

Title — The Burning School Author — Sandesh Raj Genre — Crime, Thriller & Mystery Publisher —Notion Press ASIN — B0874XJT7H The Burning School by Sandesh Raj is definitely one of the untold stories from Kashmir. This novel was running a little over 400 pages, but it became one of my favourite in the recent time. Why? Because the novel was written about a concrete them: education empowers the people. You heard it right. The novel features Naved as the lead character, he is passed out from IIM, but still chooses to work for poor students in Kashmir. He is from Lucknow. He hails from an army family. Despite knowing the terrorism in Kashmir, he goes there to teach students preparing for the IIT exams. As he reached there, a new land awaits him. He gets company of one of the close students named Ashraf who also arranges for his home and food. Naved is sad to see that there schools are being burnt by the terrorists so that children can be used as stone pelters to dis...

Book Review - Arya Dharma : The Noble Dharma

A book which is the need of the hour. What is so special about this book? The contents of this book are not the usual one. It is a 600+ page which needs detailed study. Hence I would suggest you to read few pages only, in a day. I was totally amazed because the book is a confluence of most of the religious texts/books/literature since author has mentioned that he has read the religious book more than once. I do not know the possibilities of application of a book to a greater extent but if it was done, it would surely lead to a Utopian Society where there is no religion and all the subjects would be following the highest order of Dharma called Arya Dharma . There were lots to learn from this wonderful book. I am trying to mention few of them which I found it interesting/appealing. Do you know? The left facing Swastika has Buddhist origins but this was not completely true. It is the embodiment of Shakti and also the representation of the essential feminine qu...
