21st century by Shreyans Kanswa

21st-century buddha is a very short read that one could complete it in one sitting. The major character of this story is Gautham. He plans to kill himself meanwhile he gets to acknowledge the murder in the nearby building. He goes out of curiosity to find the reason behind that person’s decision and perhaps he had to tackle the adventurous happenings that were forthcoming. The poems written in the middle of the paragraphs were heart touching and it was lovely to read. I picked this book looking at the beautiful cover. Though the story was good, I didn’t get much fascinated about the narration. The author has used the narration to a precise point and it wasn’t much descriptive, I felt a bit disappointed to discern the turning pages. There could have been a few conversations so it would be much engaging. However, the other elements were pretty good written in simple and lucid language. But I will definitely recommend this book because the author has tried to impart the lessons of Buddha through the protagonist Gautham and that was meticulously helping me to configure the things that are happening in my life.

Where innocence die!

We are all grown up from being innocent kids. But have you ever wondered, where this irreproachability gets lost?

Since childhood, they were three best friends, they share the utmost feelings, happiness, sadness, and what not?

While they were able to attend college, the problem began. The problem between their varied characteristics. All the days that they have spent happily have turned into miserable days where selfishness seeped in. Indeed, it was because of a mislead in partnership. So yes, this problem arose as a result of funds. The one who had a mind not to deny a friend got betrayed by the other who had the mindset that doesn’t poke a bit of guiltiness for her act. Are we really forgetting the value of human relationships in front of funds?

Almost, reaching the age of adolescence it begins because that’s were a few people turn to become ruder whereas the other category stays the same. They will remain the same, a kid by heart, without carrying a will to deny a single thing from the person who is in contrary with the mindset, "what will happen if she gets hurt?"

Sad reality hits, "It’s you who is going to hurt in the end, you innocent fool." If you decide you are not going to do the business in partnership with your friend. Ignore it with a damn rude statement rather than swallowing the words inside you. Because this world will welcome the rude people to rule.

In conversation with Dr. Sheetal Nair

•Do you plan to switch the genres you write? Will you shift to explore the fictitious stories?

Well I would like to dabble in various genres but then I’m someone who relies a lot on my disposition at the time of writing to inspire me to put pen to paper. I have indulged in fiction too, though I have been unable to complete any full novel as of yet. But as & when I do I shall delve in a Political Comedy or a Murder Mystery.

•What encourages you to write every day?

People. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. This is the exact thought that inspires me to write.

•Who assisted you the most when you chose to transform your writing to the book?

Well a lot of them did but mostly people around me, my family & my friends played an important part. My spouse with her internal compass allows me to be “me” & my son for whom I want to be a role model just like my father was for me.

•How can the writers make the stories realistic should they jot down the places that they already know or they can try with a new setting that is not familiar for them?

Well It is easier to express if you can make a connect between your characters & either your experiences or your surroundings. But one can take a deep dive into one’s self & explore the ideologies to which one holds the highest affinity to, it is easier to write about something which you strongly believe in.

•How is this book different from other self-help books?
I have a confession to make: I love self-help books, not just any self-help book, though. If it tells me that yoga is the answer to all of my problems, it’s going in the trash (well, recycling). If it insists that a change in attitude is all it takes to change my life, it becomes a door stopper. And if it uses the words “vibrational” or “manifest” more than a couple times? I’m having a bonfire with it.
So, when I wrote this book, I write with myself as a role model reader of this book, I kept it short & crispy. The advice in this book is so thorough that I had to write a journal specifically for taking notes while I wrote the book since I wanted to keep it short in the book. By the end, I wanted the readers to be not just energized, either — I wanted them to be prepared to make some meaningful shifts intheir life without going overboard.

The hour of life by Dhruthik Shankar

hour of life takes us to another world where we can witness the real bonding between father and daughter. So the father is basically a writer who has never encountered success throughout his life, his writings weren’t much recognized by the people in this competitive world.

The story begins with a young girl Jeeva, she will be sick and lying in the bed. That's when she got to see her father for the very first time, she asks her dad what is life so Aryan comes forward and explain some of the realities of life, be it, emotional bonding of parental relationship, friendship, love, career, siblings relationship, etc.

The author has imagined and confined those thoughts to words in the form of proses along with some beautiful poems. I could sense the emotional connection with poetry. Especially when Aryan recited a poem for his dad, it was touching and those lines are alive still. And here are some other lines that are stuck with me:

'We move on and love others in the world, but never say "I Love you" to the people who loved us our entire life.'

The book is amazingly written with heartfelt feelings and the narration was pretty good the one thing that could have been better is the descriptive writing cause' I felt a bit rushed over in certain pages but that did not really matter as there was a sequential flow of a heart-wrenching story. Overall I loved the way how the story was presented and I will recommend it.

The mind game by Devika das

As we all know this is a non-fiction book. It is one of the best self-help books that I have read in recent times as it deals with a wide range of topics such as effective communication, workplace ethics, anger management. The beginning explains the traumas that we face as we are not able to manage our own emotions. The book explains only when we can control our emotions then it will be easy for us to manage everything and be successful in life. Anger is one of the biggest enemies for us and this book helps us to get rid of it from the initial stage. It also elaborates on the technique to handle people and analyze them so that we will be able to get a clear picture of their originality. Furthermore, the simplicity and communication part on how to effectively communicate with other people is mentioned. We are often stressed and we lose focus on our work so a few pages also deal with happiness giving a way to do meditation and spiritual power. The author has used many motivational quotes in between the lines that make the readers get positive vibes and gain some spirit and will power to accomplish things.

Trishul flash reads by Himanshu Goel

This is my second book from this author. In the present world, it is not safe for girls to go out of the house, they can’t even dress like how they like just because of some guys who are bought up with the wrong intention. There arise many rapists, serial killers who kill others' lives and overlay it using their power. So this story is based on it and the setting is done in the streets of Delhi where the murder occurs for the fourth time. But there comes a twist in the story, someone else targets and kills all rapists. Why is has he turned as a serial killer? I loved the character of Sonia Rana, who took this case and investigated it further. The language was lucid to understand the whole concept. The narration was not draggy, everything was explained precisely. It was fast-paced and a quick read. This is a great book for readers who like short thriller stories.
