Book Review #13 - Beyond the horizon with You & Life

Book : Beyond the horizon with You & Life

Author : Chandan Sarkar

 There are unsaid words, feelings and thoughts that linger in heart but reflects through eyes. The book has vivid such feelings, thoughts, sorrows, longing as well as the momentary joys that make living worthwhile. These are well expressed in form of 33 poems.

🌟What is my take on this?

The poems have a sense of longing, a wishful need for a better world; one that is free of selfishness, greed, hatred, dirty politics and barbarous crimes and one that spreads love and hope. The clouds being a metaphor of hopefulness, purity and vivaciousness. The colors of clouds and the imagination weaves various shades and layers of human emotion. It also describes the depth of soulful connections in the world. There is reminiscence of moments that are priceless and pious. Loneliness has creeped in various lives because of the cruelty in the world, a world which needs to be a better place.

"Closed my eyes,
In a deep breath I stretched my hands,
I have kept the earth between my hands,
Sent all my waves throughout the world,
I vanished all sorrows in a moment,
They are far and more far,
They are light years away..."

The ones I loved:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
A Dream
Far from Fear
Beyond the Horizon
I'm untouched
Walking to go beyond
From the dark space
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

🌟What are my thoughts on the title and cover?

The cover is beautiful and the title is simple yet meaningful.

🌟What'd be one thing that’s most captivating?

It is a short but a meaningful and a beautiful read. The narration style is captivating and the poems are heartwarming. 

It is recommended for all poetry-lovers!

Book Review #17 - Lucid Dreams - Let's Redefine Love

  Book:  Lucid Dreams - Let's Redefine Love Author :  G. Mehul Krishna Kumar "The end is always a beginning for a new tale to uncover itself" "Situations may keep lovers apart but love finds its way" What would you do when you fall in love but face dejection? What would happen when your love demands sacrifice for the greater good? The story is a tale of Aman and Reshmi, the schoolmates and the lovers. There is a good portrayal of one-sided love and its perceptions; sometimes which is far from reality.  🌟 What is my take on this? The narration and the plot is good. However, there was more scope in the writing style with a better need for editing. Author has put good efforts in the creation of plot and in designing the characters and incidents which is commendable. The poems and quotes written in every chapter is carrying a gist of the flow. 🌟 What are my thoughts on the title and cover? The cover is lovely and has a special significance of the 'pink', i...

Book Review #19 - The Dharavi Model

-

This book gave a complete outlook during 2020 covid-19 outbreak. The irony is that Dharavi, which has a population of about 1 million and is probably the most densely packed human settlement on Earth, has largely contained the coronavirus. Thanks to an aggressive response by local officials and the active participation of residents, the slum has gone from what looked like an out-of-control outbreak in April and May to a late-September average of 1.3 cases per day for every 100,000 residents, compared with about 7 per 100,000 in Portugal. That success has made Dharavi an unlikely role model. Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
