Sunflowers: Incredible Journey of Epic Women Artists from India

-
Name: Sunflowers Incredible Journey of Epic Women Artists from India

Author: Sujata Parashar

Publishers: Atlantic 

Pages: 170

Review:
This intriguing book discusses amazing women artists whom we may not know but who have been recognized and praised in their respective fields.

The story not only unfolds their skills and achievements through success stories but also delves into the journey that led them to this destination.

Rather than just focusing on typical success stories with heroic journeys, the narration in the book focuses on the more human aspects of these artists, delving deep into their lives to help us understand their mindset, thinking, and emotions in different phases of life that led to their success.

Starting with a picture of the artist, each chapter presents different perspectives, including those of their family and friends, providing a closer look at art, the artist, and their lives from various angles—highlighting how an artist's life differs from that of a regular person.

The 12 inspiring artists covered in this book have taught, inspired, and evoked emotions in me, making me both emotional and happy. These short stories offer a great way to introduce such inspiring Indians to new readers who may feel hesitant about picking up a thick memoir.

India is home to many remarkable women artists like those featured in this book, and I look forward to discovering and reading about more gems in the future. Until then, I highly recommend this read to everyone.

Trust me; this book is like strapping yourself onto a speeding motorcycle and zooming through the world of motorcycle clubs, brotherhood, and betrayal.

The Anthology of Balaji

Considering the author's track record with the book "Almanack of Naval Ravikant," which I have yet to read but have heard much about, I had high expectations for this one. And I must say, it surpassed my expectations. This book is a gold mine for those who love to ponder, especially about the future. It delves deep into how deeply the technologies discussed by Balaji will impact our lives. The language isn't overly technical, which might lead some to dismiss it as another piece of tech talk. However, we can't ignore the automation and digital revolution we're undergoing. If we deny that we're in the early stages of the next big revolution, we're deceiving ourselves. Topics like AI with robotics and blockchain with its countless potential applications across industries will leave you amazed if you have the patience to read and research (not everything is covered in this book, sorry). However, you'll gain the mindset and insights about th...
