Review: Road To Abana by Lata GwalaniSometimes

Review: Road To Abana by Lata GwalaniSometimes some pieces of writing tend to say much more than just conveying a story. They speak beyond one’s words, one’s feelings and even one’s borders. The sense of déjà vu, comfort, and warmth one associates with his/her own home is an emotion that is so deep and embedded that we sometimes tend to forget that it even exists.Such a story portraying homelessness, reclaiming that home and many other powerful concepts are what made up my last read “A Road To Abana. By Lata Gwalani. The story revolves around Paari who is from the town of Sukkur, Pakistan, a home she was forced to abandon during the 1947 partition. The story encapsulates her journey from the refugee camps of Ulhasnagar to Karachi and Afghanistan. It highlights the hardships Paari has to face to reach her home which not only test her spirit but also her nerve and chutzpah.This also highlights the anguish and agony of those who suffer in the before and aftermaths of war, partition and such scenarios where they are forced to give up their normal course of life and family, their house.So, what is it that one loses in a war, in a partition, in a situation when the circumstances are compromised to the extreme level? Peace of heart and mind. The feeling of being truly yourself. Your roots, your nest, your home. Lata has managed to portray this anguish and having done that she has also taken care to ensure that one mulls over this after finishing the book and is compelled to go back and reason out how does homelessness really feel like and what it actually means for those who go through it. The plight of the Sindhi community and their struggles to battle for their identity and existence amidst hostile environments have been captured aesthetically by her.

महफ़ूज़ बहुत है पिंजरा मगर उड़ान चली जाएगी
जो आसमाँ न मिला परिंदे की पहचान चली जाएगी!!!Well, I happened to recently indulge in and finish this amazing new poet’s work of Urdu Hindi poetry, Furqat Ke Raat Din by Amit Srivastava “Ameeq”, an ensemble of Nazms, ghazals as well as Kataats and Ashaars, where the former is poetry comprising of 4 lines and Ashaar is a couplet of 2.Ok, in case you guys are wondering how come I am so well versed with Urdu let me confess I have been a huge fan of Urdu poetry as I have always felt that it is one genre which very beautifully portrays not only human emotions but also those delicate fine feelings which can be only felt but not always encapsulated. Having read countless Urdu poetry over the years, I somehow was missing the warmth, which touches my heart, every time I read Urdu. I always was on the lookout for something deep, intense, and classic like what Gulzar Sahab or the revered Manzar Bhopali write. Actually, the flair and flavour that forms the part of a proper Mushaaira aka an Urdu poetry rendition is the true adrenaline that used to keep me high and what I was missing for quite some time.What for me instantly connected is the warmth, simplicity and sheer innocence his poems have managed to splay across, scattering colourful hues of sorts, dousing its readers in a myriad of colours and emotions where there is not only love, sacrifice, heartbreak but also daily nuances of life which are always there but somewhat inconspicuous and hence ignored. Through a wide array and multiple forms of poetry used, Ameeq successfully manages to keep the readers hooked on, mesmerized to his work, dispersing his vantage of thoughts, taking them to unsought and unventured lands of imagination.The biggest differentiator of this book is the fact that on almost every page I found a line, couplet or poem which enticed me, healing me in a cathartic, therapeutic manner, staying with me for ages after I finished reading the piece.

Headless Torso? Spooky huh! 💀Review: Murdrum

Headless Torso? Spooky huh! 💀Review: Murdrum by Dr Sohil MakwanaI always enjoy reading thrillers which have research as well as logical chains of reasoning and fact. This genre which is my favourite is the one I strongly feel requires a lot of skill to pull off, given the magnitude of creative checkboxes it needs to be ticking on.Murdrum: The Probe begins by Dr Sohil Makwana is a riveting thriller that promises to keep you on the labyrinthine roller coaster of intellect, mystery and crime poised precariously, waiting to take the plunge into its awesome depths.A story full of twists and turns, Komal Rathod an intern at CBI, has been assigned the dreary job of collecting the data and solving the murder of a lady whose decapitated head makes its way on the streets of Ulhasnagar only to be discovered by a child and set the pace rolling for an intense investigation. Will Komal, whose only childhood has probably been marked by insensitivity to pain, be able to solve this high-tech forensic crime? Read the book to find out more.With a well-crafted plot, an engaging narrative and storyline, and intensely crafted characterizations, Dr Sohil’s Murdrum is one of those books which I have seen very rarely come by. Being a thriller, that drabbles in criminal psychology, here is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat right until the end, compelling you to take the plunge into it, losing yourself in its depths. Not to forget the fact that the details of medical knowledge and their association with regard to the crime have been very diligently laid down by the writer making it an indulgent, intellectual read. Also, surely, the way this one ends with, a cliffhanger sort of tone, I am positive there must be a next in the works.To sum it up, a superb thriller is best suited to those who love to read and delve into psychological crime fiction and its tenacious grasp.

Never ever did I think that a story of self-identi

Never ever did I think that a story of self-identity, self-recognition and the echelons of power in life could be so dynamic enough in spite of revolving around a sensitive topic such as LGBTQ.Today, we at Booxoul are doing the Blog tour for such a compelling title 'The Manager' by A.K.Wilson which is fiction and surely promises to be an exciting read.Touted to be a story covering multiple spectrums, I am especially looking forward to this read as it also pertains to dealing with the concepts of transphobia as well as homophobia.The cover looks visually stunning, conveying the core idea metaphorically, surreptitiously putting across the writer's vision in a clear yet minimalistic manner.Looking forward to this super intriguing read...Thank you @wbecreative @clairemaxwell for the Blog Tour of ‘The Manager’

“Are you looking for strange flavours, ethnic ex

“Are you looking for strange flavours, ethnic exoticism, family hostility, immigrant anxiety served with a heady dash of hatred?”This line is from a book I recently finished, which seems like the perfect recipe for a narrative so intriguing that it will keep you pining to know its eventuality and its resultant fate.That is exactly the whole point and summary of the style of writing Lan Samantha Chang has encapsulated through this book titled “The Family Chao.” Not to forget the fact that this is a classic retelling of the book “The Brothers Karamazov” by Fyodor Dostoevsky. This one which is an obvious retelling does more than ferrying the story across cultures from a Russian to a Chinese base, not to forget the century modernization, moving from the 19th back then to the 21st in the latter.The story that grapples around the lines of drama, conflict, inheritance, desires, deceits, and the dirty secrets of a family at large is undoubtedly one ambitious spin-off from the original it tries to retell. Revolving around Leo, his wife Winnie and their sons Dagou, Ming and James it is written in a third-person perspective to give a more universal and unbiased spectrum to the whole scenario. Leo, whose character is as ugly and lewd as it gets is only dwarfed by the fact that his sons have been sketched to be more bumbling and gawkish as compared to their father and not so low morally.The courtroom scenes definitely made up for some of the best reading in the book. Each character has been designed and proceeded along with a purpose, to infuse that same seamless gait into the plot and the narrative that makes up for the flamboyance the concept has been envisioned upon.A good spin-off, getting its own strengths to the table whilst re-narrating the old classic. A fresh read on a classic family drama.---

#Review : Free Thinker On God and Religion by Brig

#Review : Free Thinker On God and Religion by Brig Darshan KhullarEver thought about how it would feel to defend what has been lying undefended for aeons, or about contraindicating a pre-established thought set or about seeing the very basis of the genesis of our existential-religious, spiritual, holistic and otherwise from a completely different spectrum?It felt the newest possible approach towards not only describing and shedding light upon the five primary religions of the world but also pondering over the underlying contra indicatory facts that are the basis of them, yet eventually making us embrace what is the good and sublime from the lot.Brigadier Darshan begins this one by giving us a foray into his idea of who or what is actually God. As he has rightly pointed out, Baruch Spinoza the Dutch philosopher has regarded God as the Principal law of nature, the sum of all eternal laws.Breaking this down further, he has minutely explored this at the community/societal level stating how it is an aggressive minority that generally drives any society. Linking this to questioning another important argument, aka the existence of heaven and hell, Khullar subtly has put across the ideology that whatever may be the case scenario, we as humans cannot deny that we exist in the middle of all these occurrences which we can attribute to being divine or hellish, further re-establishing our ideology that yes all exists in between the space-time continuum we are also a minuscule part of.As per Buddhism the ideology, that there exists non-existence aka avasya (a non-self that cannot be defined) is what really had me mulling over how beautifully he has penned down these absolutely precious thoughts, scattering these pearls of self-wisdom in a manner so effortless, easy to take away from yet a sort of a boundless entity you can choose to know if you are a free thinker aka a radical, logically inclined person.Yes, that is exactly what is the concept and purpose of this book. A Free thought cycle.

Spine of a book - What does it symbolize??Ever g

Spine of a book - What does it symbolize??Ever given it a thought??As we proceed from left to right in this picture we realize the books, their spines get sharper and clearer, making our perspective and vantage much more focused and refined. Well, isn't that exactly what writing is all about?Take a poetry book for instance. The poet splays his feelings, his emotions,spreading them like colorful hues over canvas.Likewise, a thriller courses adrenaline through the neurons of your mind,making you excited for more. Similarly, a self help incites the best takeaways one can extricate in their course of lives.Each genre holds it own specific pros, shining and dazzling like a jewel in its own tiara. One just has to dive into their beauty.Hence, the symbology, dull to sharp. Making finesse and picking it through a vortex of oblivion.Currently reading All the lovers in the night by Mieko Kawakami.A book that is a mirror reflection of these thoughts I feel identically for a book.Perusing my ideal favorite.What is your current read??

"Ingenuity especially in times of distress is an a

"Ingenuity especially in times of distress is an asset that can take one place." -AnonTrue. To each word, this one is. A book I recently finished completely seconds the above. The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan is one such book that teaches you the spirit of the relentless pursuit of resourcefulness and perseverance even in the toughest of times.The story of 4 women, their lives, and their challenging situations, set in the Fenley village of England during the World war II period is not only an entertaining but an inspirational read too.Audrey, Gwendoline, Nell and Zeida are four women striving to reach another podium of their lives when during the times of the war they are encountered with a unique proposition to enter the run for a co-host for a popular cookery contest.
Painting the hues of what happens when one resolutely ploughs through the curveballs in life, coming up stronger, more vibrant and successful is the underlying message in this one.I loved the way the writers have built upon each and every character, making one feel themselves to be completely in their skin at times.
Not only is this historical fiction a heartwarming read, but it also gives us a slice of real-life portraying the bottlenecks faced by people during war times."Winning the war isn't only about young men fighting on the front line. It's about the homefront too and how we can stay strong for them through all the shortages and the rationing." This is a quote that shall stick with you throughout as you embark and proceed through this amazing read.

Do you know what strikes one first whenever they p

Do you know what strikes one first whenever they pick a Lucy Foley book?The erratic, eccentric, multiple POVs that are put forth. A riveting mystery about a missing half brother who has vanished and the other occupants who stay around the apartment he was last visible at.Jess, the pivotal character, is one of the primary ones focused on in the book. I liked the way her character has been built and portrayed to incorporate and showcase not only recklessness but also resilience.Amidst slowly building tension, a creepy kind of a build-up and diverse POVs this one is an intriguing read, I agree.However, I simply could not register with the way the characters were cynical, even antsy, jumpy and fidgety to the point of crazy sometimes. Not to forget the deja-vu feeling I kept encountering throughout as along the way into the read, many a time I strongly felt that I had “been there, done that..”I mean agree there is turbulence in this psychological crime, there is drama. Still, that captivating factor, was somewhat missing, for me at least. The mystery is centred around a dysfunctional family, the different POVs though give the story a good multi-vintage and spectrum, yet somewhere for me, this one fell a bit flat, in spite of the build-up and climax towards the end. Maybe, others might find this spin at the end more interesting than I, hopefully.On the plus side though, there was a hook-like quality in this one as you surely cannot put it down till the end, I’d say.Good suspense, with short engaging chapters, a flowy sort of content this one surely boasts of a good narrative as well as a brilliant execution, albeit not exactly what I had in mind. My expectations were somewhat higher, with works like The Hunting Party by her.—#thriller #bookreview #bookreviews #bookreviewer #thrillerbooks #bookreviewersofinstagram #psychologicalthriller #booksreview #reviewbook #bookigreview #thrillerreads #suspensebooks #suspensethriller #bookreview #bookreviewblog #bookreader #lucyfoley #theparisapartment #paris

Do you know a writer who has the power to transiti

Do you know a writer who has the power to transition us from an acutely intense, poetically pulsating contemporary romance to an unrelenting horror elucidating the painful journey of a boy’s struggles in his youth?Sounds like a vast spectrum, doesn’t it? Well for us, yes, but maybe gliding us through, literally like kites along the path of her fabulous writing, Mieko Kawakami is a writer who writes memorable, rare and unforgettable stories.Take her previous work for instance-Heaven. Giving just an insight into the true ways of life, without a bias of any sort, splaying it across for us without any judgements is beauty in itself. The frankness that comes with her writing in this one is astonishing and will breach through all your inner boundaries of self-protection as well as any kind of hope you might be nurturing, whilst giving you a true insight into the ways of the world. A truly painful portrait of misery this one addresses the struggles of adolescence, carelessly yet cruelly making you aware of the true obnoxious nature of life. Somehow, building upon discomfort and yet achieving it in a manner which is elegant seems to be Kawakami’s true knack, I feel.Powerful unassuming, Kawakami gives forth not only the pain but also the harshness and brutality of it, unfiltered. And yet, towards the end, you would be completely drenched in the philosophical complexities of it, which will leave you absolutely zapped with absolute unexpectedness.And after that perfectly poignant, unflinchingly honest odyssey you cannot help but be absolutely waiting with bated breath for her next piece of work. Yes, you guessed it right!My current read is “All the Lovers in the Night” by her which is an ARC and boy am I glad of it! Fuyuko, the main protagonist already has me entranced people!! Won’t say any more as don’t want to give spoilers, neither do I want to break the eggs before setting the basket away. Yass! More on this one coming shortly.

Hacker Alert!!Does cyber security ever bother y

Hacker Alert!!Does cyber security ever bother you? Worried about hacking, huh?Well, that's the reality. Too much of anything is always bad. Similarly, technology if left unrestricted and unchecked , certainly poses a threat big enough to destroy anything.Well, my recent read seems to be promising enough to lead me onto the path of these gizmo related alleys. Hussain Zaidi's Zero Day which promises to be a racy, fast paced read is a plot related to cyber terrorism. Having started upon this one recently, I could decipher a very strong and unique kind of narration and detail in Hussain's writing. A book which is full of a whirlwind kind of speed, this one seems to be moving ahead with full throttle right from the word 'go'.Indulging in this thriller cyber crime fiction currently, I was strongly reminded of 'Dhoom' , the initial tech freak scene where the signal was hacked.Not only has he explained concepts throughout, the premise has been very well built upon, creating an absolutely spell binding and engaging tale of cyber crime and terrorism.With a pulsating speed, engaging, simple narrative,this one definitelyhas to be on your next TBR for a true tech thriller read.

So for all those who are wondering where I have disappeared, well let's just confess I am TAKEN!! Soaking in the gentle touch of tiny toes and fingers, kissing that cute little bobby head. Didn't get it, did you?Well, for the unrequited I have become a Maasiii!!! My sister delivered a cute little doll who has become the centre of our attention and time off lately. I tell you it is absolutely an otherworldly feeling- looking at this tiny little sweety pie sleeping and cooing away to sleep, making simple and innocent faces...Sometimes, I feel tiny tots hold the true power to absolutely turn the world around literally in their little fingers. I mean look at how she keeps us all hooked on her!! Absolutely smitten with her tiny little eyes and that smile, ufff!!
Hmmph!! So am also going on with my current reads albeit very slow. Am almost through with Sons Of Darkness by Gourav Mohanty. At the same time have also started Road To Abana by Lata Gwalani and The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley.A wide array of an absolutely mystical variety of genres I am into.Splendid writings that make my day and a splendid tiny new person in my life who has got all possible hues of happiness and bright smiles every day!!Cheers to my little sunshine...

Hi there my Zen buddies, howz you all?I have bef

Hi there my Zen buddies, howz you all?I have before NOW never come ONLINE to share my thoughts with you all, telling you all about my self, being CANDID and OPEN about myself on social media before this.So I thought,today lets do a little window to my world-the real me. So here goes..1. I love Literature, Fairytales and am a spinner of word yarns.
2. I can chat for hours. Despite the fact that I am an extrovert, there are a few secrets, a few sealed passageways of my world, my life, that I do not share with anyone.
3. I am passionate about whatever I do. I'm a curious cat who enjoys learning about new things.
4. I love my work and especially also love to keep things organised.
My tribe calls me as Monica of Friends. Mise-en -place guys!!!
5. I am a very strong willed person. The word Impossible does not exist in my Dictionary which is time and again thrown at me.
I believe anything can be accomplished in life.
6. People's simplest actions have a great impact on me—small gestures that may appear insignificant to others but are extremely important to me.
7. I'm not one to carry grudges. I rarely use the term 'hate,' and it has only been used once since I don't believe in lugging around baggage.
8. Bhel Puri and Sandwiches and Dal Chawal are epic for me though I am not much of a foodie.
9. I despise city life, particularly Mumbai's cramped living conditions. For me, old world living is when the ceilings are open and the house is filled with open spaces.
10. My Nani's House is my most favourite place in the world.
11. I love when people smile. People who enter any place with a smile are the worlds most beautiful people according to me.
12. I am passionate about politics and like to keep up with it every now and then.
13. A die hard romantic, I resonate and mush out alongside the characters reveling and sharing their space amidst their stories.
My cousins poke fun of me for this too.
14. Tea is my absolute in the world as I feel it gives me absolute adrenaline rush I desire.P.S This concept is something I saw on @storypals and though why not? Lets give a slice of my persona and my life to my community, my world...

Dystopian is a genre that I read occasionally as I

Dystopian is a genre that I read occasionally as I am sceptical about its movement, progression and outcome. This one came across as a unique one. A racing thriller, this is the story of ‘They’, those horrifying, intimidating elements of the society that act as a watchdog, stripping it of peace and tranquillity, targeting artists for their crime of vision and aesthetics.Every story is connected in a manner more than one I feel. It is a conjoining plethora of facets that seamlessly seems to weave itself throughout all stories via resilience, barbarity, death, evil, fear, helplessness and strength. The stories revolve around these They’ and they resonated with me realistically. I mean yes, don’t these ‘They’ exist today in real-time? Indeed, they do. They exist in the form of shallow mindsets of those people who simply want to put down another, ousting them from everywhere, the usual ‘Cancel Culture’ which seems to have become the new vogue somehow, nowadays. Yes, ‘They’ do exist in every time-space continuum, now or later, waiting with bated breath, silently, to pounce upon at the opportune moment, ready to unleash their terror, brandishing their ‘fangs’ to bite into the peace of all at large.Coming back to this collection, these 9 stories left me reeling with multiple feelings, a lot conveyed through little, giving me goosebumps. In fact, I was absolutely gobsmacked towards the end as it seemed so strange, so surprising, uncanny yet highly amazing.As eerily familiar and unsettling, 'They’ is a true coming of age foray into the brutality of how creativity stands belittled, humbled in the harsh real world. A metaphor as sublime as it is precarious, Kay Dick has done a fantastic job of portraying the pervasive human dread that threatens to overpower even the cosmic fear, giving life and form to those fantastic characters which exist in spite of being supremely fictitious.A true rediscovered dystopian masterpiece, for the unversed, this one is a crypt giving you much more than that what appears on its surface.____#influencer #bookreview #bookblogger #microinfluencer #dystopian #bookreviewer #indianinfluencer #bookbloggers #bookreviewblog #blogbook

Review: Leading With Empathy by Gautham PallapaE

Review: Leading With Empathy by Gautham PallapaEver thought about what actually can work as a huge weapon to destroy the wrongdoing of evildoers?Empathy. A word that is small yet has the power to move mountains, especially in today’s world where thanks to the Covid 19 pandemic we have realized the true significance of empathy and also its true viability as far as leading the workforce and scaling and making a business mega-successful is concerned.“Leading with empathy” by renowned business strategist and leader Gautham Pallapa is an initiative, a shout out to not only transforming the work culture but also catering to the psychological needs of the workforce, especially in these unprecedented times.With a combination of stories, anecdotes, as well as musings Gautham here, has tried to point out the suffering one faces and also suggested actions for leaders to empower people through empathy, collaboration and communication thereby improving the overall happiness and positivity.
We seem to have turned pretty materialistic in recent times. We are successfully teaching our children the importance of education, career and other concepts. But how about those necessary qualities of giving, empathizing with another?Foraying into different aspects such as the racial, and gender inequality along with the financial impact on industries at large, the repercussions of these and their overall impact on the society have been minutely perused in detail so as to suggest the perfect, plausible solution for the same.Gautham has discussed stress, shedding light on the three major stress hormones and also understanding their causes and effects. He tops this one by delving into understanding empathy, the difference between it and sympathy and also its true value and significance in a work culture environment.Thus, establishing empathy as a core tenet of any organization’s work culture is the main message of this brilliant piece of writing by a business leader who has also been highly acclaimed for his acumen and contribution in this field.
