The Urge for Oneness with the Creator || Book Review: Oneness by Dipa Sanatani

“One does not fathom what is under the sea simply by gazing at the shore.”

~Dipa Sanatani, Oneness

Human beings struggle their entire life searching for answers, striving to find their way to the Lord’s abode, seeking the pearls to bead the spiritual garland. But they forget that the answers can only be found within, that the path to the Lord passes through their own hearts, and that the pearls are waiting to be created within themselves.

They forget that the real treasure lies within.

The Journey of a Writer|| Interview with Author Prasupta Roy on her Book “Taboo Tales”

That’s how the writing journey is for Author Prasupta Roy, who is back with another book. And this time it’s not anything like her previous two novels—Lovestuck and Loveswept, or her collection of poetry—Ecstasy. This time it’s a book of short stories. But not just any simpl...

Break the Taboo || Book Review: Taboo Tales (Prasupta Roy)

“Hope that was an illusion, perceived as a companion to mate with…”

~Taboo Tales, Prasupta Roy

A host of taboos still clog our so-called modern society. Whether it’s talking about the mental traumas faced by rape victims, voicing against the obsolete rituals, giving space to differently-abled people and persons fighting chronic health issues, speaking of the treatment meted out to aged parents, working as a prostitute, speaking out for male victims of sexual assaults, standing up for workp...

Stand Up for Your Own Self || Matir Taane: A Political Drama || Drama Review

The world of politics isn’t an easy feat to understand. It’s filled with complicated philosophies, twisted logics, broken promises, stagnant policies and bitter truths. The love of wealth and hunt for power clogs its world and doesn’t offer the breathing space to survive. And in its midst, the innocents suffer the curse of poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, torture, death—even as they are brainwashed into believing that “good days will soon arrive”.

But when the reality hits hard, there is no...

Love is a Distant Dream || Chithir Zuban: Drama Review

Freedom, To Whom Do You Belong? (Poetry)

Freedom,
To whom do you belong?
Do you belong to the ones
Who deserve your company?
Or to the undeserving miscreants,
Who only knows to take advantage?

Freedom,
To whom do you belong?
Do you belong to the ones
Who burned the midnight oils
To score up a high percent?
Or to those mindless jerks
Who failed their exams
And let money do the talk?

Freedom,
To whom do you belong?
Do you belong to those
Helpless poor innocent men
Who take the blame for
The crimes they never committed?
Or do you belong to those
Unrul...

A Timeless Tale within the Wrinkles of Past || Interview with Author Dipa Sanatani on her Book “The Prophetess of Dharma”

“Try as we may to preserve the past, it will inevitably give rise to something new.”

~Dipa Sanatani

Time is a tricky phenomenon. We never know how much time we may have—whether we are granted an eternity or just a few moments. No one knows when the wheels of time will turn and change everything in a flash. We have no clue when an aspiration of the future or a fascination of the present will simply become a memory of the past. What will remain is but a few wrinkles from the past—broken fragment...
