Book Reviews by Simran

  “Somewhere beyond hope” by Deepali Adhikary Somewhere beyond hope is a tale of grief, loss, and a promise of tomorrow, as described in the title of the book. The Author did justice with the title, the cover, and the whole plot as well. This review would be free of spoilers, so let’s start talking about the book, shall we? The first part of the story talks about a little girl named Jenny, she loves dancing, singing, watching movies, and everything a little girl would love at her age. She believes firmly in a ‘happily ever after’ and lives with her mother. One day, her mother tells her that there is a new person coming into their lives who’ll become an important part of each of their life and that is the day when her life changes and takes a turn. The other part of the story talks about Jatin, who is the same age as Jenny and is dealing with a different scenario in his life, both of them relate to each other and after thinking a lot about it, become friends. One fine ...

This book talks about leading a life that is free from diseases and living a healthy lifestyle full of positivity. This is one of those books which I’m sure we would want to pass it on to other people as well because of the profound knowledge it contains. The title of the book tells us the meaning behind being alive. I am sure many of us are breathing but who exactly is living his/ her life to the fullest, that is the question? I would recommend this book to every single person out there to read it and implement all the things from this book in their real lives as well.

Everybody needs time alone. When you have spent the whole day at work being harassed by others, and then return home to find your family won’t leave you in peace, you can easily become annoyed or angry. At such times, do not blame yourself for getting annoyed. Instead, take some time for yourself by stopping by your favorite bookstore, coffee shop, or a temple perhaps. Go for a quiet walk alone and listen to your favorite songs. Being alone makes the world pause for a moment and helps to restore harmony. So, I have been reading this book called “ Love for imperfect things: How to accept yourself in a world striving for perfection ” by Haemin Sunim , and this was one of the quotes I read in the novel. What do you think about this quote dear one? Do we really need some time alone or is it just a myth? Well, I think taking some time alone is a necessity. After having a tiring day at work when you are on your way home, your mind is full of chaos, stress, and worries of the whole...

  VITAMIN H(APPINESS) III- EDITION The third and the last part of the series called Vitamin H(appiness). One can start reading even without having read the earlier parts of the book but you’ll definitely, live-in suspense of the content of the other two books so go read them right now. This series is a collection of quotes and poems that readers can read on a daily basis, this book is actually designed that way. The other two books kept their focus on self-worth, empowerment, and spiritual lifestyle but this one talks about the mantras of success and I think it is safe to say that you will be applying them in your life if you commit to these mantras. Other than the review of the content of the book, the cover, and the writing style along with the language was pretty nice and the Author has truly done a great job by writing this precious book (along with the other two).

 Of the heart and soul- a mellifluous whisper   A beautiful book that can be easily read within an hour because of its length. The cover is really pretty and the title is appropriate as well. We oftentimes relate to nature and this book will exactly let you do that; it’ll connect your emotions with mother nature and will let you live them. For a nature lover, this is definitely a go-to book and for someone who isn’t, pick this one and read it and you’ll definitely come back saying that you’ve fallen in love with the beauty of nature.
