Start Here, Start Now

    The book is a must-read for people in educational institutions. We should not be a teacher following the age-old syllabus and the old method of teaching. We should evolve and teach based on the current scenario and should talk and make an interactive classroom and remove misconceptions on many topics. The author has shared her personal experience of how she reacts, how she answers, and how she makes the students understand and speak about race, color, stereotypes, consent in a way a student should understand and asking questions before explaining to know what they meant by it.

There are some problems faced by ABAR teachers because it may not be part of the curriculum and how to add as a part of it and how the administration supports or deny it and how to caretakers and parents think of it. There are a lot of things and that is explained and it is worth reading(hearing) guys

Love Bytes

    The book is such an enjoyable read felt like a real conversation with the author. The way she narrated was so good. The journey has a lot of struggles and got a lot of experience and learned many things and she was courageous to overcome and be the way she is. There are some chapters the way the author speaks make you laugh thinking of yourselves. Her journey to various places made me think to visit them at least once.

Overall a short and sweet read.

 

The Long Night

     First of all the narration is so good explaining from the day of Zark how nations are divided and how they are interdependent and about the people in the different nations their culture and their way of living to the competition where everything changes as Anika, Dred, Mitali, Jarret, Scario reach the barren land and the way their life changes and become the saviors of the nations. I really felt bad for Jarret. Anika became a super magician. Scario got the evil energy and learned the spells of them to be on the good side. The story was interesting till the end and I wish there will be a second part as the Evil Queen said she will return.

The story takes you to a different world full of magic, courage, strength, and belief.

Makeda: The Queen of Sheba

 

    This is such a good read with illustrations. The way the story of Makeda was narrated was so good. From her childhood till she became queen to rule. My dream of taming wild animals as pets was shown in this book, Shaba and Samson was the lion and lioness who was with her and her support while she was killing the monstrous serpent. 

We can learn many things from Makeda, the way she cares for her family and the people of Sheba, her boldness, and the innovative ideas to solve problems when things fail to take responsibility and accepting the truth, and a confident girl.

Sticky Icky Vicky

    The book is very short and full of energy. This is a perfect book for children to read and understand about their fears and come out of them. Vicky was feared of water and she bathed once a week after the incident on the beach but she overcomes fear with help of her friends and her courage to come out of the fear of water.

Whether we are an adult or child, we all have some fears that make to be stagnant, we should be fearless. We may fail but we should have the courage to do what we love and wish.

The illustrations are so good and I loved them. The way of writing and engaging the reader with the story was done well. I do recommend this for kids and people around me.

Tikli and Laxmi Bomb review

 

    The story is of Tikli and Laxmi Bomb who are sex workers in the city of Mumbai, who are under the pimp Mahtre. They are getting paid very little after giving to all middlemen and still, there is no protection or safety for any of the girls. The newcomer Putul(Tkli) is so rebellious as everyone who is a middleman is getting money and still, they are trying to abuse them. So Tikli and Laxmi started a gang and started their own group to work and ensure their safety and they faced a lot and a lot of troubles. 

Everyone has self-respect values, don't disrespect and abuse them based on their profession. I really felt sad for Sharanya, Tikli, and Laxmi and all their girls for their fate. Everything went after their cooperation but things change when the situation and words used to abuse and provoke a person.

The struggles of the people who are never considered as part of the society who somehow are sacrificing their body and soul and living a life of guiltiness that saves many other women's lives and many relationships indirectly. You can feel their struggles by reading the story.

Love is Forever, if it's true

 

The book is really interesting and the way it was narrated from the side of different characters was so good. Some situation and their past experience make the people rude and don't allow to trust anyone. Everyone is not the same, we should follow our instincts and believe and try to live in present. If there is a problem we should not keep it with ourselves and interpret it, communicate to know what is the reality than assuming it unless it is too late. These are the things we will understand from reading this book. This is about the relationship between Trisha and Raghav. Naisha and Rohan were also so good characters and the change of Rohan was a bit sad, there was nor more about Rohan and Naisha after she being herself and I wish she to had a happy life thereafter.

In this story, we can know how love, care, and each relationship are important what happens if the family is not a family just living as a family for namesake.

Love is forever if it's true is true when it comes to the story of Raghav and Trisha, they are separated by physical distance but mentally they were always thinking of each other and that made them ending together having a happy life.

Love & Grace of Maa Durga

If you have faith in God and are a true follower of Sanathanadharma, the book is for you guys.

I feel the books as a blessing in disguise as always wish to visit Vaishnava Devi temple at least once. I got the picture of it through this book. 

The author expresses how she experienced the presence of Devi Maa in all parts of her life when atmost needed. We may lose faith when we are in trouble and facing big problems but she will be always with us to know the extent till we battle and shield us.

Devi Maa itself was saying to the author we don't need to visit her daily and give offerings to her. Our heart is the temple and offerings to the needy are offering to her.

The miraculous experience of the author and other devotees made goosebumps for me and I remembered few things that happened in life. 

The books give you a lot of positive vibes and energy to live life without any materialistic wants.  We all are running towards something without knowing our true selves. Try to know yourself and get enlightened to attain salvation.

The picture of Om in the chapatti and Om in havan with snake hood all were really like a prasad.

True faith in Adi ParaSakthi can always do wonders in our life.

I'LL WAIT

 I just thought to read a book and pick it and when I read few chapters it was so engaging that I read in a full stretch. This is the story of Naina, the girl who went to the US for her higher studies, and the guy she loved said he'll wait. Then we are moved to the story after 10 years where Naina comes from New York to Surat for her best friend's wedding with her husband Vinay.  Things start to change guys. There are a lot of events waiting to be read.

I liked the friendship of Naina and Sarah, Sarah is a single mother because of her one-night stand and later found her love Avinash but Sarah's parents never accepted her back after knowing about her pregnancy. Now Sana is 3 years and She got a loving dad Avinash.

The way Naina was arranging everything from engagement, Mehendi, Sangeet, Haldi, and  Marriage events was really narrated well and I loved it. Naina is not a happy woman as she tries to love her husband for the past 5 years but failed and Vinay is not taking any initiative too.

From this read, I understood we should live for ourselves and we should make ourselves happy and don't think of Society. Many show they are best and happy just to please society but inside they are broken. They want to lead a different life and wish to do what makes them happy but they think what others think and speak of us make them not take a single step towards their happiness.

We have this life once and we should not regret at the end of our life not doing what we wish. Live the life to fullest and make yourself happy first before trying to make others happy.

What The Pandemic Learned From Me

 

The book title was different and that made me choose the book. It is an enjoyable book like a journal entry. The way each thing was narrated was so good which make us laugh as like the remix of Punjabi songs using the words we came to know after a corona.  I was laughing and reading about the finance stuff and how their abbreviation was changed by the author of SIP, MF. 

We all learned something during the lockdown and started living a life where we only concentrating on needs than our wants and so much DIY. We started cooking for ourselves and try some new dishes and started to enjoy and listen to the things around us.

We know never thought of an era in India where schools and college conduct online classes and this happened so soon. Work from home became a common thing and it is quite time consuming than office work as we are always at home and available. The way the author described WFH made me think of myself.

S.I.M.P.L.E Goals

 This is self-help with some stories to make us understand how we each have different goals and different definitions for happiness. The author gives practical ideas to achieve success and how to select one goal at a time and take step by step to reach it. We all plan but unless we take steps it is not possible. Taking baby steps is important more than planning and he explains about finding one's Satya and trying the way to achieve it.

Unlike other self-help books, this gives step-by-step direction to reach our success and explains how to overcome obstacles with examples. He has said about his goal for weight loss which he did for himself not of thinking what others speak and how he started writing a book, how we all become lazy with no timely routine to eat food, sleep during this lockdown. He also said about planning and how it may fail at some time and having a plan B and reviewing the pros and cons and how well we have carried out with a plan.

We should practice mindfulness and stay focused and try to do one work at a time.  Meditation and Exercise need to keep our mind and body healthy. 

It was much like a conversation between the reader and the writer about how he achieved his goal using the technique, explaining the techniques and what was his goal, and how he started working. I recommend this to all there who are interested and wish to read a self hep book.

Break Free Break Through

 In this book, we learn how we can overcome our childhood traumas and how it will affect us both physically and mentally leading to one thing after another and changing us adding some good things and bad. The story of Kabir is really so emotional to hear as I remembered few events of my life where my mom beats me up a lot for no reason and later pampers me. They show their frustration stress and anger on their kids. Kabir's parents gave him a lot of freedom and trusted people around and never spend much time with their kids which was one of the reasons he became a victim of child abuse from the age of 4.

When the kid says all that happened, the child is blamed. Parents should be there for their kids and should be a strong pillar of support when they even least deserve it.

We can overcome any problem or guilt for what we have not done if we open with the right person. We can free our minds and take the right decisions rather than getting frustrated and depressed. I think everyone should read this to know how children are abused and how it affects their life.

Almost Damned

 

This is a sequel to Almost Mortal. I read Almost Damned the same day after reading Almost Mortal so the flow was so good and I was enjoying the read. In this book, all the upcoming characters and their role were mentioned prior. Sam has always used his powers to help his clients but now things are different and he wants to defend the fallen Angels and the hybrids before the panel of God - Gabriel, Raguel, Saraikel.... Samuel was represented as her and she was the prosecutor and the way the story was moving was so good. 

Here too Sam was reading back the Journal and the appearance of more hybrids and return of Camille at right time to help Sam was interesting. The characters Tawana, Igor, Riker all were given detailed narration and they are all played their part well in the story. 

I will surely say you should read Almost Mortal which makes you understand more about fallen Angels and their capabilities and the hybrids who are immortal. Almost Damned get more interesting when they all reach Mount Hermon. The way Amelia asked questions to the person who did the background check on Sam will make u laugh.

It is a mixture of religious and legal stuff, supernatural elements, and for sure it is a different story and I enjoyed reading.

Almost Mortal

 

I am a thriller read lover. I found it a different read with a lot of details and a lot of characters and I even forgot some characters introduced who appear later at some part of the story like. It is a long read and took time but it is interesting too.

I loved the character Sam, the way he was handling cases. To find a serial killer who confessed in the church was really made me read it. Some journal entries are given by sister Camille to Sam. The journal was also narrated it make us think who it was, who it was what was the connection with the murder and this story.

Then one more thing is about finding using DNA samples and the detailed explanation by Juliana. You should read it at a slow pace to understand each and everything in the plot arranged. I think this will become a movie soon. The court scenes and the way Sam speaks and helps the clients and speaking about his side cases all were needed to make the characters appear later in some part. There are a lot more hidden facts about the serial killer case and he wants to his mother's relation with Camille and Raj.

Overall the story and narration are so good and I recommend this to thriller genre lovers.

This is a dystopian novel where there is some natural disaster and spreading of this which is causing heavy damage to people and the surrounding.  The story is weaved in a nice way. The writing so good and lucid that makes the reader engaged with the story. There is some romance too which acts as a balm when there are a lot of things going around. There are a lot of heartbreaking painful moments in the story.

This is a thriller genre and I recommend it to all of you as the author's style of writing was so good and captivating, the characters are narrated so well.

There is a lot of suspense waiting for you. I don't want to give any spoilers. I really thought of the current scenario we are facing. In many states, there are monsoon floods caused by cyclones and on another side, COVID is mutating and oxygen demand, vaccine demand.
