Book Review #19 : My Swapna




My Swapna 


Author : Tapan Ghosh 




Review

The story is about Harry who was born in Calcutta in the year 1946. At that time world was progressing and India was just born after independence. In this story Calcutta as a city is glorified for being the second best city in the world after London which may be true by looking at its geographical location and important import and export history in British rule. The story focuses on Harry and how he looks at his world. What are his perspective towards the life and how his personal life and social life intervened. 

As Harry left Calcutta and shifted in Bombay the homesickness of him is clearly seen through his characterization. In this story there are other characters too. Like Khush, Swapna and Raima who are an important part of this story. This book is a second part of " The Saga Of Shom and Raima ". There is a bit of explanation before starting the book by the author which was generous of him as many might have not read the first book.

I have read other books by this author and I must say his character development and the way he discusses social problems throughout his story telling is exceptional. I am a fan of his writing and he is one of those authors who are underrated. The language of the book is subtle and progressive. And it's roughly 168 pages which is not that big for a newbie or a regular reader.

Book Review #7 :- Was She Mine

Was She Mine Author :- Bajrang Sultania Review:- The story is about Ved Agarwal who is an C.A aspirant and currently in his finals. He falls in love with a girl Pihu. Pihu on the other hand keeps herself away from such stuffs and has a traumatic past behind it. The way the story unfolds itself is mesmerizing and the way it is narrated is priceless. The story looks subtle , there are no exaggeration of stressing the plot. Author tried to keep the story simple and the character development is also good. The thing that bothered me was when you read a love story , you should not only feel connected but should be oblivious about the plot. At some instances the story seems predictable which might result in loss of interest to some people. The cover of the book tells the story itself. The way two people are divided by a wall and they are craving for the warmth they deserve but don't want it resulting in heart felt emotional breakthrough. Ved is trying his best to win her heart but will Pi...

Thinking Out Loud  Keep Nothing Behind Author :- By Tapan Ghosh  Review  I have read many self help books . But there are only few of them that remained close to my heart and this book is one them. This book deals with little joys that we often forget to enjoy in this mess of a life we live in. These little joys helps us to shape a healthy and beautiful future. The life can be full of surprises and they can be both good as well as bad. Author urges to keep the good with us and let the bad flow with the air far away. This book flows like a never-ending river of positiveness. It is a beauteous conglomeration of various aspects of life, put together with a hint of philosophical perception by renowned author. Author have poured his soul. I haven't read much of his writings but by this I must say. I am really looking forward to explore his perspective. Coming back to the book , then it has a wierd woodish flavour . The cover of the book is like it wants to have a good convers...

Moonchild Soul Author:- Dr. Dwijisha Katker R eview  For me a poem is a way of expression. The rhymes talk with us in a hope to have a conversation. To tell what a poet wants to convey through the perfect set of words making it asthetic with rhymes as if a flow of an endless river. You must be amaze by my such sets of words but I can't help it reading such beautiful poems from this book.  . This book is divided into many chapters that author has went through her life time. This book is like a mirror image of her I can't ask any thing more from it. The way she has managed to put the poems, the sequence she put them in and also the sketches that she used to portray her emotions. Few of the many poems are my personal favourite.  I am also a writer. Good books inspire me to write and after reading few poems from this book I can't help but pen down some of my own in my dairy. This book is a perfect example of art and writing. With each chapter this book tells a story of autho...
