My Reading Corner

The King of the Sea by Nandan Gautam: I am blank as the book is! I literally do not know what I should talk about the book as the book is itself about nothing but everything. Have you ever thought beyond our lives? Why do we live? What is that after we get everything that we run after? What is there at the end? And a big WHY?! This book is truth and not any illusion or just thoughts. I agree with what I think the author conveyed through the book because I think not everyone can interpret the book in the same way. It could be unique for every reader of this book. As said in the beginning of the book, it was entirely my choice and my own mind that constructed a story with the words put in by the author. It's a story but not a story as such. The life of man is portrayed as a long and everlasting journey in a ship which doesn't know its destination. The crew in the ship keeps  travelling with a hope that they would see land/destination one day which is us who keep livi...

DESTRUCTION IS EVIL! This is IMPORTANT!! I got an opportunity to visit the deep jungles of the Western Ghats where human intervention is a very rare thing. Yeah... you may wonder if I carried my book stack there? Yes!! I did, for taking pictures. I am so grateful that I happened to visit such a wonder of nature that exists. The nature was wild and so powerful that I was totally engulfed in its aura. I witnessed wild bison, wild squirrels, lots of unknown birds that were beautifully chirping around and the rhythmic screeching of hornets. Nature speaks!! Yes, TRUST ME... NATURE SPEAKS provided IF WE LISTEN!! I've never ever had such an experience that I felt in these two days. There is no single thing that we run after in this world that equals for this mysterious beauty. I was overwhelmed but when I came back to the outskirts of the woods, I heard the harsh reality that is happening out there from the people around. This incredible treasure is slowly being destroyed day by ...

MY VOICE Hi folks, just thought of sharing what I feel. Initially bookstagram/blogging was not something that I knew of. I started posting about books just as part of my personal instagram account and what's app stories whenever I feel so. But with days I became more vehement about reading. Books slowly became more than just a thing to me. I felt a tie with books that helped me escape from realistic torments that I had. It truely helped me become strong and taught me a lot that cannot be explained in words. Besides everything, I found a true worthy friend and a companion through books. Despite my understanding of what I read, the books understood me better. And today I stand here and I feel like I travelled to the right place. I feel content in what I'm doing and now I want to take my travel forward in the path and by this way I could do something in return for the peace that the books give me. I do not know where I am heading and wat my destination is but I truely ...

THE HEART'S INVISIBLE FURIES BY JOHN BOYNE This book is a sort of a different read for me. Yes it was something unique from all the other books that I read. This is a book about Cyril, the protagonist who is a homosexual in Ireland. The story begins from 1945 where Mrs.Goggins, Cyril's mother is thrown out of the church and ends in 2015. This explains the length of the book indeed (713 pages). It describes more about Ireland and the lifestyle change of people there way from older days to today. I really was able to discover lots of new ideas from the book. It gave my mind a more broad view on different parts of the world and stuffs. The entire life of Cyril from scratch made me realize that the world is really huge and means more than what we knew. It was really a wonderful experience reading this book. Although it didn't go well for me at first, the subsequent parts where really interesting. The narration was good and kept going smoothly. There were lots of vari...

BEARTOWN BY FREDRIK BACKMAN Done with this and yayyy!!! Long read it was. I always wanted to sit for long and read this book but I was struck with something else and was travelling as well. I happened to read from just some 40 pages a day at maximum... to the least of single page a day. Such was my reading progress for this book unfortunately. Yeah! I know its bad. Yet, worth it folks!! . Rating: ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐   Alright, I knew that Fredrik Backman is not going to disappoint me and he didn't. Though I was not spellbound as I did when reading The Man Called Ove, this book is another obvious testimony that Fredrik  is a master writer and OMG!! I just love him for his writing. I have never read such casual books as his. So this book is about a town called Beartown where hockey is everything the town depends on. Its in the outskirts and is not recognized at all. So the people is beholden with hockey to make the town popular and well known. The story is so simple and contempor...
