Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party.

Why do bookshop stories comfort us? Review of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop

You often reach for gentle stories when life feels heavy. This long-form review looks at Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and its sequel as one continuous experience. It reflects on heartbreak, books, and belonging, while questioning the books’ depth, popularity, and emotional staying power. Comfort is guaranteed. Impact is debated. Why do we turn to quiet books when life feels unbearably loud? Have you noticed how, when everything feels too noisy, too demanding, and too sharp, you do not want fireworks from a book ? You want a chair by a window, a cup of tea gone slightly cold, and a story that does not ask much of you. That is usually when novels like Days at the Morisaki Bookshop find you, not the other way around. You reach for these books when your own thoughts feel cluttered. When ambition has tired you out. When grief does not announce itself loudly but sits beside you like an awkward guest who refuses to leave. Satoshi Yagisawa’s Morisaki Bookshop series arrives wrapped in...
