THE UNKNOWN LIVES: TALES OF UNTAMABLE LOVE, DECEIT, STRUGGLE AND VICTORY

I received a book recently which is called, "THE UNKNOWN LIVES: TALES OF UNTAMABLE LOVE, DECEIT, STRUGGLE, AND VICTORY" written by Pankaz and Manoz. 



BLURB
Can you resist the galaxies of emotions crashing into your heart and ripping your soul apart...

Mallu, a nine-year-old girl had never presumed that her very first journey from the outskirts of Raigarh to Delhi would kill her innocence forever and force her to battle unspeakable fear, anxiety, pain, humiliation, longing and dreadful realities of life...

How far she would go to protect that she believes is still 'SACRED' about her...

A heart in love never sees the obstacles but possibilities and pleasure everywhere,
What would a poet in love will do when he discovers that his beloved had gone to an extremely distant land...somewhere far away...near to the soft edge of endless oceans...

Was it easy for an assassin to pen his feelings before killing himself...?

MY REVIEW
The first thing every reader notices in a book is it's cover💕 title💕 and the blurb💕 respectively.
So, the cover of the book is beautiful 🌟. It has been kept as simple as it can get🌟.
Now, coming to the title of the book, it has been named, "The Unknown Lives: Tales of untameable love, deceit, struggle, and victory.📖
I can't really think of a title more appropriate for this book than this one.
Now, let's talk about the book.
📖So, "The unknown lives" has a collection of 14 short stories.
📖All of them are about different people and how their lives changed in a single moment, just by one wrong decision or no decision they took.
📖All the stories were sent to the Authors in the form of letters.
📖Some unnamed, some named, some with beautiful destinations, some with hurtful endings.
📖It also has a collection of poems that talk about longing for our beloved.
The struggles of a prostitute, love story of a father, life lessons from a coach, letter to a brother.
📖This book will make you imagine all the stories and you will actually feel like you are the protagonist of each and every story.
📖You will then be able to feel the love,  pain, anger, struggle and all the emotions which the protagonist goes through.
📖Also, this is the first book in which I have actually made notes and highlighted every note and quote I would love reading afterward.

RECOMMENDED TO
Avid readers, beginners, poetry and short story lovers. 

MY RATINGS
5 on 5 stars.

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...
