Welcome Books, Welcome Light, Welcome Fun

The biggest problem of the world is NOT pollution or over-population,but the fact that the masses have an inexplicable aversion to READING, without any worthy reasons at all...

READERS:

No use going over the uses of reading…perhaps “uses” is actually a very tiny word…

But undoubtedly, there are times when we need a particular book…as the commonest metaphor puts it, a book is food for da soul…as cuisines are for our tummies…

But don’t we have preferences in our foods? Acc to our moods, our appetites, our surroundings.

Well, I can say without too many fingers pointing at me (lol) that its easier to find out what our tummies need dan wat our souls do.

How many times we find ourselves helpless…cz there are more number of opinions than there are books(I suspect so:P) or actually at times none at all.

An attempt…to be of some use to the “normal” ones in da world of reading…those who have the urge to enlighten their world…but can’t quite find the candles and matchsticks…

The pros, you can surely flaunt your knowledge (!!!) n expand it tooJ

NON-READERS:

Yeah yeah you have more important things to do than rubbing your noses in books…But why not give it a try once…if for nothing else then for experimental causes?!?!?!

Especially when we are telling you how to!

N who knows the results might shock you also

Summarizing in the words of Oscar Wilde:


It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

The impact that a book has goes far beyond passing your time constructively.

Something you realize not maybe after you close it and keep it down, but maybe years later, some sentence, some paragraph will come in your mind when you expected it the least, and NEEDED the most.

From book reviews to author biographies, quantum physics to age-old wars, Harry Potters to Stephen Hawkings from Venus to Mars, a wonderful world awaits you.

Let the fun begin

Happy Reading

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...
