Book: My Father Is A Hero
Author: Nishant Kaushik
Publisher: Srishti Publishers

Life, as they say, is all about those little moments, in which we take strong decisions that acts as a game changer. It is the series of such moments what makes life worth living. The book My Father is a Hero is one such book. It reflects on the life of an ordinary man and the circumstances that makes him takes such decisions, and making those moments extra-ordinary.

It basically is about a strong and special bond that a single father Vaibhav shares with her 10-year old daughter Nisha. He loves her to the core and has the willingness to do anything and everything for the child. This middle class man stuck in an ordinary and thankless job, is making all possible efforts to fulfill the simple needs of his little girl, right from her singing classes to birthday party. Touching!!





The story takes a sudden twist, when unexpectedly, Nisha starts behaving mysteriously. The girl full of enthusiasm all of sudden loses her mojo. Certainly, Vaibhav is worried about Nisha’s changed behavior. He could see her becoming quitter and reserved, unlike her original nature. Vaibhav, unsuccessfully tries to find out the reason. 

As a reader, this abrupt change kept me also curious as to what could have been the real reason. The narration is such, it wraps you in the agony. Of course I too had my own assumptions on the causes.

How Vaibhav makes every possible attempt to pull Nisha out of that despair is what the story revolves around; and in the process, he moves beyond his set limits and does something so unusual that even he had never dreamt of.

It is an interesting read for parents, especially father, depicting the power of an ordinary man when it comes to happiness of his child.

My rating: 3.5 Stars

I received this book from Writermelon in exchange of an honest review.

So, Are You A Good Person Or A Nice Person?

So, are you a good person or a nice person? It’s not always good to be nice, you know. Sometimes it’s okay to be ‘just you’.   We often end up mixing the two attributes - good and nice – assuming them to be the same. But there is a vast difference between the two. What is the difference, you ask? Or is it just that I am going bonkers? Well, by definition … ·          A nice person is someone who is pleasant to be around, has good manners, and is cheerful; ·          A good person on the other hand, is someone who is honest, helpful, and morally good. A person who has generally been good tends to be nice to others, most of the time. However, the question is: should they be nice to people, even if they don’t want to? Would people consider them as ‘good’ if they are not nice any longer?   The Burden of Being Nice Here’s what I think: you might be a good person, who doesn’t want to intenti...

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

Book Review: Suryavamsha

Book: Suryavamsha: The Noble Kings of Ancient India Author: Manjunath Dattatreya  Publication: Notion Press Mythology, I believe, encourages us to question, reason, comprehend the metaphors, go deep into philosophies and develop our own understanding of it. Suryavamsha: The Noble Kings of Ancient India , by  author Manjunath Dattatreya  does exactly the same. This book consists of several stories from the solar dynasty in brief snippets. The key essence of these stories is then highlighted. These stories attempt to answer the question of ‘why’. ‘Why or how did that event find a place in the ancient texts?'; ‘are they still relevant?’; ‘what are they trying to tell us?’
