I seize through pure life, to nurture and memorize my dreamy nap time.
Chitra Banerjee never fails to show the mysteries of women, behind every male-dominated story. “The Last Queen” is one such diamond from the historical events of ancient India. Author has gracefully and bravely described all the faces of a common girl, rising from ash like Phoenix. This book is divided into those stories of the last queen of Punja, Rani Jindan, who was a symbol of intelligence, wit, devotion and humor. Through “behind-the-scenes” coverage of evergreen ballads of famous kings, you will get to know the different side of the tale through Jindan’s eyes. This story is a simple life’s journey of Mayi Jindan, from a daughter/sister who was an epitome of innocence and love, to the mother who dedicated her last breath for patriotism. Honestly, I couldn’t put the book down once I started. Everything was surreal, like a real life story in front of my eyes, beyond the grand walls of Sheesh Mahal. I thoroughly enjoyed the intricate details of places, events, costumes, food, le...
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 pr...
Ann Patchett has my heart. I never expected These Precious Days to be so engaging and wholesome. One of my friends had given a detailed and enthusiastic review of the book, and in that moment, I hoped to feel the same way she did—her gleeful response was contagious. I can’t thank her enough for introducing me to this amazing author. These Precious Days feels like a warm hug on a winter afternoon, as if Ann is sitting right in front of me, sharing the beautiful little moments of her life. She invites us into her home, her bookstore, her personal lifestyle, her relationships, her friendships, her writing, her travel therapy, her decisions—so much and more. It felt like we were having nostalgic conversations, sitting on a balcony, sipping tea, and reflecting on the wonders of this life. What captivated me most throughout the book was her approach to storytelling—the way she explains everything with such honest ease. I’ll certainly be picking up more of her work, to continue immersing my...
