NARASIMHA


Hey Book Lovers!!
It’s been a few days since I last posted a book review.
But, I am back with the review of one of the most beautiful books and that is.....

NARASIMHA
BY KEVIN MISSAL
PUBLISHED BY: HARPER COLLINS INDIA



BLURB:
Narasimha, once a brave soldier, has left the war and lies low as a physician in a village. But a familiar face from his past seeks his help to stop the tyranny of the blind usurper Andhaka. If Narasimha refuses, the world might just end. What will he do? And why did he leave the war in the first place? Prahlad, the interim king of Kashyapuri, is torn between the ideals of his unrighteous father and his love for Lord Vishnu. Whom will he choose? Hiranyakashyap, the ruler of the Asura Empire, wants to avenge the death of his wife. To do that, he must go through the Trials and get the ultimate weapon - the Brahmastra. But the Trials have sent so many others to their death. Can Hiranyakashyap survive? Welcome to the reimagining of the fourth Avatar of Lord Vishnu by bestselling author Kevin Missal.

MY REVIEW:
First of all, I congratulate Kevin for writing such a beautiful book.
Honestly, I was not a mythology fan but, Kevin changed my mind through this book.
Talking about the COVER, it is very attractive. I loved the detailing and truly justifies the book.
All the colours used and the anger shown in Narasimha’s face feels so real.
It is just so beautiful.
Anyways, I can go on and on about the cover, so let’s move on to the next parameter which is the.... TITLE.
It justifies the plot.
PLOT: The story is divided into lives of three protagonists namely, NARASIMHA (an avatar of Vishnu), PRAHLAD (a Vishnu Bhakt) and HIRANYAKASHYAP (an Asura King).

The story goes simultaneously which makes reading the book all the more interesting.
I don’t wish to give you all any spoilers, so yeah, read this beautiful book as soon as possible.
LANGUAGE: It is easy and reader- friendly. No grammatical mistakes or errors could be found so far.
RECOMMENDED FOR:
·        New readers
·        Mythology lovers
·        Believers of Gods
MY RATINGS: 5 OUT OF 5 STARS.
Waiting for the other two parts!!

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
