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.

Diamonds are forever, so are morals

I heard him first on YouTube when his video came up in feed suddenly.  And as always, I was interested in learning from the experience of others, especially when they're 50+ as they often give advice that others can't, so I listened to him and became a fan of his thoughts and clarity.   This is what I admire most about elders, who speak from a gentle and kind heart along with a stable, sharp, and intelligent mind, making it a perfect blend for anyone who needs to listen to and learn from life experiences.   And as soon as I learned about his book, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Finally, when I got the opportunity to read this, it was worth a lot more than that. It's not about the life & events shared by a businessman with some tips, but about a human who went through all those situations and met all those people, which made him a humble human with a focus on morals, seva, and bhakti even after achieving something most people can't even dream ...

Black Sol by Sachin Warty Book review

Book name: Black Soul Author: Sachin Warty Publishers: HarperCollins  Amazon Link Blurb:  Review: Life is unexpected. We can never know how it will turn or when it will end, especially in the case of military personnel and other security forces. Stories about their lives reflect a reality that is entirely different from that of ordinary people. From the outside, it may seem thrilling, exciting, and full of action, but on the inside, it's incredibly difficult to cope with, especially for the families of these officers. When I started this book and read Gene’s character, I realized how difficult it is for an officer’s family to deal with the loss of a loved one. While the story here is different, I’m speaking in general about this perspective. Using such stories with mystery, trust, and unexpected twists, combined with a main protagonist like Mihir, feels like an entertainment package. However, this time it also led me down a slightly different path. That...
