WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR BY PAUL KALANITHI


I don't want to say anything for this book because it's beyond every word that I say. Before going into the review let me tell some feelings that I personally had when reading this book. Life is not what it is. There is something called DEATH that everyone of us must encounter which may be just an end or a tragic end. We dream a lot of our future and desires. But is that all going to be the same? Who knows what is waiting for us on the other side of time? Life is more than the silly things that we worry about. We run and run daily with a hope that tomorrow will be better than today. But will it? Nothing is precious than present. Life is the biggest game in which rules keep changing. At the tip of the edge if we turn back will the path be contented and happy or will it be full of struggles? . We don't know we literally do not know wat are we and why are we living. This book gave so many such thought to me...Paul Kalanithi is a neurosurgeon who in his early age was diagnosed with lung cancer in its advanced stage. From being a doctor who strives in saving patients from misery he himself was struck into an unexpected trap. His life was entirely shattered with every hope of tomorrow diminishing every day. He writes about his feelings in his last days of his life. One of the best explanations given was about science and God. There is some supreme power beyond every scientific theories. Science is merely human created proofs that satisfies every happenings around. It is merely something which we have created to satisfy ourselves. Is that entirely true that everything in science happens as it appears. What if there are something happening behind? Who knows? Life just goes on... Finally, no words are enough just go and read to realize yourself.

Daughters of Charchinar

I am so grateful that I got to read this book. The Daughters of Charchinar by Almas Hussain is a book that everyone should read atleast once in their lifetime. It hit me damn hard in so many ways. This book is about Nafisa and Meher, twin sisters born in the land of Charchinar where the life of women is not at all imaginable. They are raped as punishment for crime committed by the men in their family. They are killed just because they wish to pursue education. Charchinar is a land where girls and ladies are treated worse than a non-living thing. When I did read the blurb of the book, the line "Here, rape is a punishment and not a crime" itself made me feel so much scared and also it was then that I knew this book is a must read. The twin sisters lose their mother during their birth and from then they grew up in the kitchen and taken care by the cook Tuktuk. Their lives are impacted so much by the meaningless and barbaric rituals of Charchinar. The book then follows the life o...

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not? The Cursebreakers series has one such fictional world called Emberfall with totally lovable characters.

EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED BY JONATHAN SAFRAN FOER Have you read this book? If yes, what is your thought about it? It was the first book of mine in 2019 and believe me I took about a month to complete it. It was a very bad read for me. I literally did not like this one and I don't know why. The writing was humorous I agree!! But a huge NO...This is not my type. I did not post a review because I didn't know wat should I say. And today I came across this in my bookshelf and thought about sharing my experience with you.
