The Sun and Her Flowers By Rupi Kaur It’s the second book on poetry I have read and that also of the same author. I never thought I am going to ever read rather enjoy this genre. But as is always said ‘Never Say Never’, So here I am today writing the book review of this genre. And as it’s my second read of this author so this gives enough hint that that yes I like her writing style. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading more of her books. This book is segregated into five sections: Wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. The book is not generalized on one single topic. In each section, the collection of poems are based on five different scenarios. While Wilting is about grief where someone leaves you with a sickening feeling, Falling is all about self-abandonment. Rooting, on the other hand, is all about respecting and nurturing one’s roots and Rising is about self-love. Lastly, Blooming about empowering oneself. As w...

I Am M-M-Mumbai by Rishi Vohra Rishi contacted me to give a read to his book, initially I was skeptical but after reading the synopsis I decided to give it a read and I must say I didn’t regret my decision even once while reading. It’s a simple story and a quick read having a freshness in the writing style. You won’t keep the book down before completing it, it’s like watching a romcom which you can’t just turn-off in between. Overall, it gave me a feel-good factor after reading. One thing which I liked about the book is it reminded us that Stammering is not to be made fun of. Rather it's a verbal disability like any other physical or mental disability. Stammering needs proper medical treatment like any other medical ailment. And the line which struck me the most: “When life brings you rock bottom, the only direction to move in is up.” Storyline: There is nothing explicit about the story. A simple plot is written in an entertaining style which would hold your inte...

Pyjamas are Forgiving By Twinkle Khanna I liked the metamorphic meaning of title which says be like a pyjama i.e. forgiving in nature, unlike jeans which hold the grudge. Other than the title, the story doesn’t reciprocate this metamorphic meaning as being forgiving in nature doesn’t mean don’t stand up for yourself whereas this story was about was all about how Anshu got persuaded every time by Jay. As I started reading, Anshu, the protagonist character of this book, was coming across as a strong opinion-oriented woman, standing up not only for herself but for others too. However, until I reached the end of the book, Anshu came out as a person who could be easily brainwashed and was without any strong opinion of hers. Storyline goes as: Anshu, a divorced woman in her forties, used to visit ‘Shanthamaaya Sthalam’ (an Ayurveda Therapeutic and Spa Centre) every six months or so. But, this time during her stay at Shanthamaaya, her ex-husband, Jay also came there with his ...

Two by Two By Nicholas Sparks Whenever I don’t want to read a book but want to listen to a story like my father used to tell me in my childhood, then, I pick a book written by none other than, my all-time favorite author Nicholas Sparks. Reading his book is like taking a break from reading; For all that while, I forget that I am reading a book rather it gives me a feel as if someone is telling me a story. Until today, I have read 9-10 of his books and haven’t disliked any so far. But before ‘Two by Two’, all his previous books which I have read were based on the romance genre However, ‘Two by Two’ is a lot more than a love story and thus, will be wrong to categorize it under the romance genre. This story inspires you to keep going on what may happen. It gives the reality check that you are left with no option but to move on with life, even when you least want it, even when you just want to sulk or crib or cry, even when you just want to shut yourself in a room, lif...
