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.

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...

The Da Vinci Code By Dan Brown It’s a mystery thriller novel. And as it’s very well-known that this book nonetheless became a worldwide bestseller. The major reason behind its popularity was its storyline because of which it was extensively denounced by many Christian denominations, too, as an attack on the Roman Catholic Church. The story revolves around seeking the Holy Grail which as per the book proves the companionship of Jesus Christ to Mary Magdalene and the Merovingian kings of France as the descendants of their bloodline. And this is very much opposed to the belief of Christianity, as per which Jesus is the incarnation of God the Son and the awaited Messiah. Since the storyline of the book is based upon the controversial hypothesis about the life of Jesus Christ so I would strongly recommend readers who are strong followers of Christianity, please don’t give it a read as it may hurt your sentiments. Also, I would like to mention since it was my first Dan ...
