Book Review: Creator’s Image by Shwetha H.S.
Creator’s ImageAuthor: Shwetha H. S.Publisher: Self-publishedRating: 4/5 “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”― John Milton, Paradise Lost Our mind is a labyrinth that controls and dictates all the bodily as well as mental functions. It is the strongest organ that is not only capable of getting things done but also making others do things. Thus, it is often termed as the Creator. We also know that mind gives birth to thoughts and emotions which further give rise to sins and virtues. Based on a similar concept, the Creator’s Image presents us with a collection of short stories…

Book Review: A Himalayan Voyage by Uday Sadhwani
A Himalayan VoyageAuthor: Uday SadhwaniPublisher: Self-publishedRating: 3/5 Books on travel experiences hold a special place in my heart, for I always look forward to the experiences of others. One such book that narrates the experience of venturing into the wild is A Himalayan Voyage. Honest and sanguine, the narrative sets the adrenaline course like a fever. One cannot help but be a part of the beautiful outdoors even if it is virtual. A Himalayan Voyage is a straight-from-the-heart account of how the author traversed the road between Manali to Kaza and from there to other villages in the Spiti Valley. Known for egregious terrain, the road to Spiti Valley is…

Love, Loss, Life, Laughter And MoreAuthor: Ritu KakarPublisher: Self PublishedRating: 2.5/5 In these trying times, it is important to find those little windows of escapism that let us venture into a world that seems or sounds utopian.

Book Review: Who Stole My Time? by Sunil Mishra
Who Stole My Time?Author: Sunil MishraPublisher: Papertowns PublisherRating: 3/5 Gone are the days when words were given more importance than text messages. The new era calls for a renovation of our lifestyle. Thus, mankind is left with no other option than to comply with Darwin’s theory of the survival of the fittest. Consequently, the addiction to gadgets has become a new normal. In these times, when everything has been digitalized, it is quite impractical and difficult to remain old school and follow the conventional methods of communication. Advocating the harmful effects of digitalization, ‘Who Stole My Time?’ is a satire that criticizes the aftereffects of using digital media and its…

Book Review: The Story Begins at the End by Sujay
The Story Begins at the EndAuthor: SujayPublisher: StorymirrorRating: 2.5/5 It is said the love is invisible and omnipresent. It is an emotion that finds a way into your life no matter what. Based on the same belief are the stories in the anthology The Story Begins at the End. This book is a collection of 16 short stories that portray different kinds of love. The author makes an earnest attempt to advocate that one can fall in love with anyone anywhere. Each story depicts a different form of love. The characters are mostly the victim of happenstance and consequently, they are saved by love. What confused me though was the…

Book Review: Crossway Bloom by Arti Rai
Crossway BloomPoet: Arti RaiPublisher: Rainbowdash Publishers LLCRating: 3/5 A crossway is a path that connects to the main road. During the journey of life, we embrace varied emotions like love, happiness, sadness, anxiety and more. Different situations bring us face-to-face with different emotions and that moulds us into a different person. From what I interpreted, Crossway Bloom is a collection of poems that derive their inspiration from various circumstances of life. They linger long after they have been read. These poems are of nature, of villages, of women and of moods. Varied and evocative, the poems are genuine and focus on appreciating the little joys around us. ‘April Rain, Summer…

Book Review: Thoughts Alight Poetry by Kawtar Elmrabti
Thoughts Alight Poetry: A doorway to a Secret GardenPoet: Kawtar ElmrabtiPublisher: EC PublishingRating: 3.5/5 Poetry is a genre that cannot be judged based on what the readers feel; it is a genre that has to be appreciated if the thoughts of the poet resonate with those of the readers. Through this book, the poet deftly composes verses that are sure to touch the right chord. Divided into four different categories- love, hope, self and meditative thoughts- this collection of short as well as long poetry is a cornucopia of reflections the poet must have gathered while appreciating nature and the human body. The first section deals with the power of…

Book Review: Polar Bear and the UFO by Cynthia C Huijgens

Knowing that polar bears cannot be seen very often, it comes as a pleasant surprise that this book tells the story of a polar bear who is hungry and that’s why sleep eludes her.
