Book Review #6: "A Bowl of Soul Curry" by Romila Chitturi

-

 


As the name suggests, this piece is an oriented curry of fictional panorama shots. The book is categorized into two sections-prose and poems.

Prose are the instigator of varied worlds and author has immensely covered outstanding prospects. She curated daily conversations, random thoughts, thriller and suspense, mundane chores, dusted imaginations, observed facts and fictions, timely coincidences, fearful overcomes, friends and families, and many more clips from her research. This marked an urge to read something between what's more and what's next? Also, the title "A bowl of soul curry" is one of the starters from her secret recipes which garnishes the entire journey of her dark realities.

Talking about poems, every piece is strategically placed, with sequence and with highest authorities of judgements and consequences. No one will ever be bored of any piece, that is hanged from the fruitful tree of abundant treasures. I specially liked few poem sections, where the author has accurately utilized skills of either pinning the needles or touching the sentiments with soft feathers.

Writing mechanism is to the point, without any hint of exaggeration and the book is packed with highly renowned appreciations, quotes from famous personalities and forwards.

I highly recommend this magnificent curry for my hungry reader's soul.

P.C. The author herself!

What does FREEDOM mean to me?

Freedom is a very sawn-off word for this world I think. Everyone has their own booklet of terms and conditions, when it comes to feeling free. For a farmer, freedom might be his/her desire to expand his/her land to neighboring regions. For a street dancer, freedom might be a desire to present art freely without any judgment of gossiping eyes. For a high school student, freedom might be a pathway to choose the right future without any family pressure. So, when someone is asking what freedom means to me, I also have my brief dictionary, which carries all my past experiences and visionary approaches that created a whole differently contextual definition of this seven-letter-word! I always adored my grandfather, not because he loved me more than all my siblings(don’t tell them!!), but for his lessons of freedom. He taught me how to be free and independent for taking my own decisions. And his formulation was not textual. Not at all. He just pretended to be a part of the lesson. Back then, I

The importance of mentorship in the next generation’s lives

  There’s a famous book “Tuesday with Morrie” , written by Mitch Albom in which the character Morrie quotes “The most important thing I can say to you is, 'Teach.' You want to know what's wrong with the world? Ask yourself what's right with it. When you get the answer to that, go out and teach somebody.” This line made an outstanding mark on my beliefs, when I first read the book. Giving you a short glimpse, this is a heartwarming story of a dying professor imparting life lessons to his former student, showcasing the transformative power of mentorship and wisdom it can offer.  There are innumerable facts and real life examples where we can clearly see the importance of mentorship in any generation, whether it be the age of Chanakya’s authority or the digital era of Physics Wala, Khan Sir and many more . At every step of doubt, one looks forward to the resolution suggested by their mentor. And it’s not necessary that the guidance should be in academics only. Life is its

  I don’t have any specific opinion on feminism. Neither do I like to differentiate anything that is beyond the reach of gender neutrality. But I know for a fact that women are the most powerful creatures on this planet. They have the power to create a new life, suffer with blood every month and balance the mundane life with utmost pride all the time. They not only bloom but also spread the fragrance around them. I am also surrounded with such a wonderful community of women, who always support me in my lows and cheer for me in my highs.  @Unicorn and @Authoropod have collaborated this time on the special occasion of Navratri, and I am so happy to contribute my flavor of colors in 9 different ways. I want to dedicate the essence of these shades to the strong women pillars of my life. Orange : Warmth and energy There’s no one more deserving than my grandmother and mother for this impregnable title. Both of them have always given me warmth so that I always feel secure. They protected m
