Life

Life is always been a mixture for all of us. A mixture of good things and bad ones . you expect a chocolates... And it gives you thorns... You expect a rough path...and It gives you a bed full of roses.
You pay for deeds in this one life only..
Karma is always watching over your action.
Different People play a part in your life.
Life is unpredictable and happiness and sadness are the cards in deck called life.
The more sadness you get, the more you know you are closer to happiness.
It's like finding your aces. There are always 4 aces in deck of 52 cards. You just have to keep trying in your life to get them. You have to constantly keep on trying . you never know when you will get your ace.. But you will get it for sure.
Few things that life taught me in last few months is... Your Life is a movie and you are the lead character.. The difference between movies and life is that it's not scripted... You don't have fixed dialogue to say to people.. You never know what will hurt whom... You don't have fixed actions.. It totally depends on circumstances. Everything is temporary expect the movie (life)..
It goes on .
Everyone has their story, their own struggles. The words we speak become our story.
Words are the bricks upon all stories are told. They have the power to build us up or break us down, and surprisingly the most small and powerless words can become powerful together.

The most powerful four words are this;

You are not alone.

This is the best motivation one can have in their life.

Being a writer, i just love the words i scribbled about my life-

"A day in hell, a night in Paradise that's how a writer live  !

GOODBYES!

I might be little futuristic here but some goodbyes are inevitable.

It feels like an era ended, and now we have to start our life again from point zero.

We all are done with graduation now and soon everyone has to settle in his/her life. Soon they have to leave their old life, their old friends, the places where they use to hang out.

It seemed like yesterday that I made new friends when I entered my school and then college.

After school, I thought that I will lose some friends and I did too, but in that way I found some true one.

I am so blessed to have them now.

Recently I have been receiving news from my friends that they shifting or departing from me that too forever.

I was kind of numb listening to them.

We never know when we will be listening to some people for the last time in our lives. Though thanks to whatsapp,Facebook,viber,skype and all the social networking sites for connecting us no matter where we stay.

They will enter their new life and will make new friends and same will be applying to me.but still we will be missing our old friends perhaps true friends.

According to a study if a friendship lasts seven years long that it will last forever.

I just so much wish that this quote proves itself right.

At last I quote -

Death might never be the good byes that hurt.

Goodbyes from out loved ones do hurt more.

Engineering bhava!

Yes, I would call it the end of an era. My life was like that. I have seen the best and the worst of me in this four years of glorious journey. Yes, you heard it right four years, around 1460 days and approximately 35000 hours!

 Yes I have calculated every hour, because I have lived them or should I say, I survived them as constantly reminded by the society that I am doing it

.

The journey called "Engineering".

 It feels so nostalgic now. The place where I feel caged off would soon be closed for me, freeing me forever, letting me go where I want to. A room bigger than or equal to an auditorium will soon be replaced by our juniors and we all be leaving that forever.

 Those thousand numbers of pages I wrote for the so called assignments to complete. Yeah I will miss them. I won't miss the assignment... Nah! I would miss the fun behind writing them. Making the assignment a précis writing, always writing the one-third :P 

There were 120 students in my batch and I came to know them well in my final year of engineering.

Well that’s how my engineering completed, bunking as much classes as possible did.

Ahh! Yeah, how can I forget the bunk part, the part for which colleges are made for. That canteen snacks, that looting of the lunch boxes.

 Hell I will miss them. 

That 8 war type semester exams from which 7 ended and I can proudly say that I survived all of them. That 3 hours paper and the constant battle for those 23 marks starts, to cross the line of the back loggers. Though for the ranker it never mattered because they always go for the bulls’ eye.

It seems funny now, how I used to mug up each every formula, even though I had no idea what's in it.

 At last the” GTU” (Gujarat technological university) I should change this name to bluff master. When these people bring out the results, you never know whether to cry for not scoring well or laugh because you passed an impossible subject. And I bet that it happened to every one of us.

 Everything feels so steady now. 

“To the optimist, the glass is half full. To the pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be”.

CHEERS TO OUR NEW FUTURE!

PS-I got emotional writing this.

Review of Via Delhi - A twisted tale of Love

A twisted Love story which revolves around a Muslim boy, a Hindu girl and the Orthodox Indian Society.
Author: Sabi Shaikh.

A heart touching story for sure.The language used is very lucid and that really helps in the smooth flow of the story.
Well via delhi is just a complete story ,a story that you see in bollywood movies.
The cover of the book is up to the mark.
All the events of the story are well synchronised.
Saifuddin khan,A Mba student and not to forget a Muslim by religion falls in love with a bengali girl name Mridu bhattacharya.
It all started via social media.
Two people ,never met in their life suddenly become soul pacifier to each other.
The story is full of twists and turns and I mean "Sharp Turns".
CB wrote about "Two states".
But this is about "Two Religion and Two States" both.
Loving someone and saying I love you is easy; but what you do for it and what it takes to maintain it, can be seen in the story.
How Saifuddin and Mridu fight for their love and defeat that "Char log kya kahenge wali soch" is just nail biting to read.
VIA DELHI fall on that category of the books in which one just keeps on reading till the end ,totally indulged in it.

It's like a perfect story to serve the readers.

PS- You might hungry reading this book as the author has described lots of delicious food
Best of luck Sabi Shaikh for future!

P.s- Don't want to rate this book.
Enough said!

REVIEW OF " DECODING LIFE" BY VIKAS SINGAL

"Decoding Life" is an anthology based on relations, love and human perceptions. 
These sparkling anthologies cover a wide range of human emotions. These would make you feel good when you decode them one by one.

At first I thought "Decoding life" is a novel based on life,but well I was surprised to see it as an collection of some best coded emotions of life that you can only  decode them by experiencing it.
You will always be at the edge of the chair reading them and they will always leave you with an emotion to Decode.

Here are the Reviews-

Taxi driver-A story describing how a girl feels unsafe though coming back to her hometown in an Auto rickshaw.

A reality check of the Present situations.

A Rain kissed Tuesday-A story revolving around a love story of Hindu boy -Muslim girl.

Though I felt it be incomplete but it's all up to the writer's imagination and way of thinking.

K.N LAXMAN-A simple story showing the emotions of loyalty and the feelings of getting betrayed by the person, for whom you can do anything.

Glad that We met-A heart touching story showing the confusion of two people meeting for the first time in their life as their marriage has been arranged. I personally liked this story the most.

Switch it on-A very short story showing the emotions that few people just want you to be safe even if they don't know you.

The writer showed this with a perfect example.

The Mistake-A story of two best friends and what they feel when they are put into test by some awkward situations by life.

Two states-A story showing the difference between two places, teaching that what might be easy for you can be hard for someone else, so think before you judge.

That shy boy-An intriguing story about Ravi and about how he, from a shy boy turns into a savior for the girl he like.

The Train-A story about two strangers, who hate almost everything about each other, but some events turns them towards each other and they go on a lunch date.

The Mystery girl- A story about a girl who is self-determined to make her career in whatever fields she comes into. She comes into contact with Mohit who is an event manager.

It’s all about what happens when Mohit friends totally misunderstood her and her work thinking it as prostitution.

A good read indeed. 

 Overall, 4 out 5 stars!

That's the way we met!

She: I don't know I might not get the train.

He: Run fast, I am on the same train.

She: like really? OH MAN.I am yet to reach.

He: come fast, I will make the train wait till you come

Yeah I saw her for the first time. Not in the conditions that I had imagined it to be, but yeah I saw her hip hoping while climbing the stairs, breathing heavily and taking a pause as soon as she saw me waiting there for her.

I wanted to freeze that time ;that second of the clock I wanted to treasure it down forever.

She smiled looking at me and I smiled back foolishly!

She ran to a different coach and I took a different one. My heart skipped a beat. She just disappeared. The train started in its usual way.

Just then I saw her coming towards me and yes, my heart started pumping faster than ever like it was making up for everything.

She stood beside me and I kept looking at her like an idiot trying to read what her kohl eyes were saying.

Trying to start the convo we both got lost in each others.

Just then a thought struck my mind

"Am I even making any sense to her?"

The way she laughed, the way she talked.

Just perfect!

Everything froze for me except the train.

In my life for the first time I was envying the train for running faster.

She just flowed with me and we flew together .she just reminded me that I reached my destination and it's time.

I didn't know what to say and just asked her to take a picture and left with a handshake. ..yes that touch was divine

We were neither lovers, nor friends!

Yes, we weren't.

It was just some connection.

Don't know whether I would see her ever, but one thing is for sure, that’s the first time I smiled in ages.

happy reading :)

REVEIWS OF SCARRED FOR LIFE,HEALED FOREVER BY ASHWATI MENON

                                         



About The Author: Ashwati Menon, though, is a native of Kerala, is born and brought up in Gujarat. Writing came early in life and started writing at young age of 8 years. The journey began with short poems and hence on, it has been an upward climb towards trying new style of writing. Currently, she is working in IT Software Company as a Project Manager and has three years of work experience. Education included a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Computers. Her favorite hobbies include reading, dancing and playing guitar. Also, she has published her first novel under the author name "Anita Raghav" titled "Let Me Sleep!"

First of all, Hats off to the writer for being brave enough to choose this genre.

Totally new and alien concept for many of us.

She had tried her best to make the world understand the power of brain and the unsolved mysteries inside it with the story line.

How your brain can work so efficiently, adjusting in every circumstances can be seen in the story.

                       

The cover design of the book is up to the mark justifying the title. However the title seems little odd at first, but when you go through the story it justifies itself at the end.

The scientific words that are mentioned in the story are well carved with storyline.
A glossary is provided at the ending of the book to get familiar to the words mentioned in the story which gained a plus point for  the book.
It’s a story about a girl named "Nishtha" who survives a natural calamity, thousands of kilometers away from her home in Australia.
She loses love of her love “Andrew” and her two soul friends in that calamity.
The story tells you about how Nishtha survives the trauma of that calamity with the power of her mind and gets a natural power to know things before they might actually happen.
The concept is very new.
The synchronization of the chapters could have been done better.

If you are tired with same repeated love stories then please pick this book, I bet  it will take you to a new world!
Overall a good read!
 I would have rated it 3.5 out of 5, but for the concept it earned a half star more.
So I give 4 out of 5.

Happy reading :)

REVIEW OF HEAVEN CONSPIRES

 Firstly, I would like to congratulate the author for writing such a masterpiece.

HEAVEN CONSPIRES by prity subramanyam is a well-patched story about faith and trust on the Almighty.

It’s perfectly woven into words.The special note says it all.

A girl named Mehr, living in the tribal part of Himalaya’s calls for help to the protagonist Nathan who lives thousands of miles apart from her.

How Nathan comes to an unknown land and gets amazed by finding connections between him and the persons he meet.

The flow of the novel is just near perfection. The best example of this is the story telling by both the protagonists simultaneously without breaking the flow.

It's indeed a great effort from an Indian writer to write suspense- thriller.

The story telling indeed needed deep thinking.

But as the writer herself says it took seven years. 

After all, Rome was not built in a day.

The book will leave you bewildered at some places.

At times, it’s hard to believe the coincidences happening in story but overall, it has a good combo of words and storytelling make it worth.

One of the best book for intellectual readers.          

The things used like past life regression, telepathy and paranormal science will make one believe in the power of faith in god.

I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

BEST WISHES !
