A thought provoking reflective read

-

Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda is a beautiful and heartwarming collection of poems about memory, loss, and healing. 

Things I like about this book are: 
The poems are gentle and meaningful, easily touching our heart. They show how long lost memories can stay with us even when everything else fades. Panda’s writing is simple, honest and powerful. She helps us think about each and everything we left behind and how we continue to find meaning from those left behind. 

Though I think that the theme of some poems feel a bit similar to each other, which makes the book a slow pace to read. It is still a thought provoking, beautiful book that stays with you, reflecting its words on your life.

Dogisthaan: A Mythic Reawakening of the Bond Between Man and Dog

-
Image
In Dogisthaan: Kingdom of the Dogs, debut author Shayon Moitra has crafted a riveting tale that transcends the boundaries of myth, morality, and modernity. Set in a world where ancient pacts and sacred responsibilities are forgotten amid the chaos of urban decay and human apathy, Dogisthaan is both an epic fantasy and a sobering, almost humbling, reflection on the cruelty often meted out to voiceless creatures. Through richly imagined and coherently constructed lore and characters that resonate on a deep emotional level. Shayon has explored a unique concept of what happens when humanity breaks a promise it barely remembers making. At the heart of the story is a powerful legend – the ancient pact between Kram, the Dog Lord, and humankind. This pact, centuries ago, guaranteed harmony with humans entrusted to care for and respect canine life. But in the industrialized present, where stray dogs are seen as nuisances and are frequently subjected to neglect and abuse, this sacred...

Globalization is Going

-
Get ready to be National and non-international . You can see that most of the big countries who was pioneer for globalization is now focusing on development of their nation by being anti-international. They are trying to reduce the detrimental effect due to globalization in job, economy, power and influence etc. The trade barriers are coming back. This may happened as there was never equality or balance between the countries trading which is now getting bigger, deeper and unreachable in near and some what far future. I read many news on this in the last few days and today I watched few videos on acceptance of the difference. That how a person should socialize with most different and imperfect person for her/him as it give opportunity of even a dream job she/he wishing for. Also about stop to change other or yourself and start to accept everything as it is first. Be like water who change it self but only as per circumstances needed for the betterment of everyone. The conflict you...

Sunday Story of "STORY"

-
The first story in the world was "Told", Second one was may be "Read" & Third and last one is "Seen+Listen". We all know about this even if we ignore it regularly but that " STORY " the telling for which this all paper (in which story is written and read from), radios (from where many stories were told and listened), TVs & Internet (where we daily watch and listen also sometimes read stories) are invented is lost . It is weird that we rarely find a very good story which we want to read, watch or listen again and again. We find so much information and nonsense things but not a beautiful story . That's why may be many people working in TV or other media industry is struggling as they can't able to find the perfect story wanted by audiences/people. Me and many other writers are also struggling to find out best stories. We are able to see some beautiful stories but it is few if we compare the total content given by all med...

Balancing & Gratitude

-
So, I'm just here to pour out my feelings. You can read and relate to them, or simply enjoy my words as they are. People often write about important matters but overlook the significance of happiness and health. Recently, when I fell ill and listened to Akshay Kumar on Ranveer Allahabadiya's TRS podcast, he emphasized not jeopardizing health for work. We tend to forget the importance of health, viewing it as secondary to material pursuits like cars, houses, travel, food, and clothes—things money can buy. The internet inundates us with FOMO, pushing us into a rat race for wealth. We constantly chase money, often at the expense of our health, assuming we can reclaim it later. Yet, we fail to realize that time, once gone, is lost forever. While money can't buy everything, health and time are invaluable. Even with wealth, health is not guaranteed—look at Anant Ambani. Living in the present moment is vital. While we must plan for the future, we shouldn't sacrifice today'...

Adulthood : A Tale of never ending nostalgia

-
Image
People find it scary when they realize that they are becoming adult and loosing their childhood with all the innocence, happiness, tension-free Life. But I don't. May be because; 1. I don't realize that adulthood everyone is talking about; 2. I dreamed to become an independent adult which I am in process of becoming; 3. I learnt to live in present with remembering & sometimes missing past 4. I'm still as curious or may be more than as a child 5. I learnt to enjoy what I have & not to worry about what I have not. Whatever's the reason, I find it fascinating that I don't feel like I am getting older. It also amuses me when I find someone whom I assume to be older but find out being younger. Sometimes I forget how old am I. What I meant to say is that the time between this 20s is going like my body paused growing while my Mind is growing rapidly with 2x or 3x speed. Every day I am learning and experiencing a lot new stuff. Also, now at adulthood I a...

Free

What should be free? I think health and education sector should be free for all. Then and then only we can have beautiful world as we want. Any society, state or country can grow only in that environment where all people have equal right on education and health-care services. It is need which is equal to food, clothes and home. May be we should build more school a & hospitals than shopping malls, clubs, different sport's ground and may be temples, too. When we preserve the past and nurture the future than only we will live happily in present . We never should forget that we also wanted exciting and enjoyable education when we were kids and we will need love and care whenever will get old and ill. Remember when you got ill. How did you feel? Don't you wanted to have someone near you to love and care about you and treat you well to make you well from ill. May be as I think, you think and all people start understanding this fact. And now only few schools ...

Don't Think, Just Do.

If you have many desires and problems also here is sure short solution. It may not be fully correct still it is good enough to solve some of your problems. Start writing about your problem and desires take a pen and paper right now. Start with desires. Add "why?" after every desire. Get answer for it. Repeat the process until you get the answer the " happiness ". Your last reason for any desired must be happiness otherwise it is not your desire but the need of the greed you got from the others. Now start writing about your problems. After you list down all your problems start categorising them. The category should be : 1. 'cannot be solved' 2. 'need not to be solved';and 3. 'can be solved' You will understand that now you have to focus on only those which you can solve or which need your attention more. You will now also understand that you have to stop thinking about those problems which you cannot deal with. Now you will be more fo...

In 1455, Gutenberg printed his first book, a Latin  Bible . In 1475 Englishman William Caxton produced the first book printed in English, The  Recuyell  of the Historyes of Troye. The  Diamond Sutra  is the world's oldest known printed book. It was 'made' in AD 868. Knowledge part over now feeling part. Take a book you have if it is near. Touch it. Open it. Touch each page. If you are lover of reading and you have your one of the favourite book in your hand you will surely feel what I am telling you about. This is amazing feeling. A friend, guide and love can be A BOOK . It is what will feel your loneliness easily and give you strength also to enter outside "your world" to "the world" with full confidence & courage. People who are book lovers especially the readers are not always introvert but if they are then a good book can make them a confident person who can talk in front of anyone. For me A Book is Silent Talker Friend . W...

Life Without IF: A Motivational Roadmap for Intentional Living

-
Image
Life often feels like a chain of “what ifs.” What if I fail? What if I am not good enough? What if circumstances don’t work out? These questions weigh heavily on our decisions, often pushing us into hesitation and doubt. The book Life Without IF by Sudipto Chowdhury and Joyking Birje takes this familiar word: IF, and turns it into something powerful. Rather than seeing it as a barrier, the authors show how it can become a catalyst for courage, action, and transformation. Unlike the average self-help book, this isn’t about short bursts of inspiration that fade the next day. Motivation may push us temporarily, but it rarely tells us exactly what to do next. This book is different. It not only provides a roadmap but acts like a GPS for transformation, guiding readers step by step toward intentional living. Why This Book Stands Out Most motivational books rely on lofty ideas. Life Without IF is firmly grounded in science, especially neuroscience, and written in a way that anyon...
