Who is your biggest cheerleader❓

‍ #aotd The author, Echo Brown, says her biggest cHeErLeAdEr is her MOTHER.

 Her mother is the most PoWeRFuL Wizard, she knows.

 A “thankyou” is not enough for mothers..

 I make sure & love to read the acknowledgement, prologue and epilogue of any book I read. Do you❓❓

. Published by Macmillan in Jan 2020, the book is available for INR 713.79/- @amazonkindle 

The story begins with a little 6 year old girl, who considers her mother, a wizard, a powerful one.. who protects her, can do magic, can do wonders with her prayers, bring food on the table and teaches her wonderful stuff.

 She observes her and other adults with curiosity and pens down her notes in a notebook.

 She teaches her younger brothers too, to be curious and observe.  She talks about her stepfather, her teachers, her school life, her mother’s childhood..too in this book.

This book is basically a MeMoiR which explores the intersections of poverty, sexual violence, depression, racism, and sexism—all through the arc of a transcendent coming-of-age.

I loved the storyline, the narration.
Adding the author to my favourites.

✍️ Echo Brown is an African-American writer, performer, and playwright.

A MUST READ. Totally ReCoMmEnD it.

#qotd What is the USP of a short story❓Why would you read one❓

#aotd I prefer reading a sHoRt StOrY when;
 I am short of time;
 I have a short attention span or am lacking in focus and concentration;
 I want to read a conscise but good story;
 I want my read to be short and quick. 
This book, encompasses 41 RAW Stories which are ENGAGING, MIND BOGGLING and create a ruckus with our brain, beliefs and thoughts.
Each story begins with a pErFeCt ILLUSTRATION and ends with a beautiful QUESTION, worth pondering.

There is ample use of vernacular language.

The 1st story itself, reminded me of a real incident, discussed and penned down by Ma’am Sudha Murthy in one of her books.
That itself gave me an impetus to read on & discover the book.  ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Bobby Sachdeva is a storyteller by choice and a businessman by profession.
He writes stories to highlight the problems with norms and standards in our changing society.  Filmmakers have shown interest and some of these short stories ARE BEING ADAPTED FOR SHORT FILMS now. Bobby Sachdeva lives in Amritsar with his family and owns a film studio, Ajab Productions.
This is his first book.

Secondly, he came up with his memoir, later last year. I haven’t read the complete book as yet but yes I have read 3/22 chapters and they are written in the same SIMPLE, MESMERISING, HONEST manner as are all of his posts. 

And the last part, I READ THE 3 CHAPTERS BEFORE BUYING THE BOOK!

Yess! Go to Amazon Kindle app. Download sample of any book you wanna catch the vibe of. Read it. If you like it, buy it.

जैसे हर रात को आफ़्ताब का इंतज़ार रहता है ,
वैसे ही तो कुछ बुरे पलों को अच्छे पलों का दीदार रहता है ।
आफ़्ताब – सूरज

Author KRITIKA AGARWAL brings forth a wOnDeRfUl read, her heartfelt thoughts penned together and shared in this book in the form of PoEtRy bifurcated further in 5 sections.

TAARE BANJARO KI CHAH ME: Thinksforlife (Hindi Edition)

The CRUX behind this book is:
We can achieve anything and everything if we have the zeal and passion for it.

In poetic language, it suggests that the stars will come down, on earth for you if you are ready to work hard enough to achieve your dreams.

It says one should listen to his heart and keep on going forward towards his dream.

There is use of URDU VOCAB. too and instead of a glossary at the end of the book, each poem is followed by meanings of Urdu words in simple language, which is very convenient and useful.

The entire read feels like one is going through the personal diary or journal of the author, one can so relate to the feeling shared in those simple but deep words..it’s brings out..NoStALgiA..sometimes you laugh..sometimes you smile..and sometimes you feel grateful for all you have..

Check out the synopsis in #hindi “तारे बंजारों की चाह में ” किताब के माध्यम से ये वर्णन दिया जा रहा हैं कि कुछ अगर हासिल करने का मन हो और जुनून हो तो तारे खुद उन बंजारों के लिए चलके आते हैं , जिन्होंनें आज भी जीवन के रास्तों में बन्जारें बन वो खोज जारी रखी है कि आख़िर वो क्या है जो उन्हें सबसे अलग बनाता है और कौन सी वो छोड़ी हुई चाह है जो वो पूरा करना चाहते हैं । क्या वो सब हासिल करने के लिए हम जैसे बंजारो में उतनी हिम्मत है या नही ?अगर हम उस राह में बन्जारें बन चल पड़ते हैं तो तारें(विक्टरी, नाम) खुद हमारी चाह में इंतज़ार में रहते हैं । हमें ज़रूरत ये है कि इसके लिए मन की सुनकर मन की करते रहना और आगे बढ़ते रहना..

Parting words:

तुम्हें चिट्ठियाँ लिख फिर बुलाउंगी , उगती और ढलती शाम के मीठे रंगों सी कहानियाँ सुनाउंगी । तुम भी आओगे मुझसे फिर मुलाकात करने हँसते खेलते , अभी तो जाती हूँ , फिर मिलेंगे चलते चलते।
