R.J. Palacio Reads | Wonder

Thoughts On The Book R.J. Palacio in her book 'Wonder' has beautifully encaptured  the problems that a specially abled or simply put a disabled person, has to undergo and suffer. She also talks about how a person has to tolerate bullying in school and his feelings: she also discusses about the life of pets and the way inhumane humans mistreat them. Pets as she says is more than just an animal. All this thought provoking instances are talked about in one book.

Devdutt Pattanaik Reads | Devlok (and many more)

On The Book It's a book on the Hindu mythological tales of India. He tells us about the Vedas, the Purans and the untold and forgotten stories of our Gods and Goddesses.

Mythology according to him is a belief present in a certain group of people which cannot be disproven or is better not tried to be meddled with. He tell us how seas and oceans were formed, how the Vindyas came to be

Book Review | MIЯЯЯO : at THƎ WƎIЯⱭ WAYWAЯⱭ

Storyline :   The theme of this book revolves around the eradication of perennial social problems and evils that have increased substantially in India. Social evils like rape, consumption of tobacco, alcohol and drugs are on an all-time high level yet no one is bothered about solving these problems from the roots. Ragging is schools and colleges and lack of proper educational facilities have also been given a serious thought in the book. The feelings and the troubles of the victims and their families are clearly and extensively discussed in the book. Various solutions have been suggested. The storyline was at times slow-paced and lost its taste but overall the experience was good. All the details regarding the crimes have been clearly stated with little to no errors. After-thoughts on the book :   The book is a must-read by all adults and teens who need to be educated about the social-evils in the correct way. According to a study, by 2030 the number of people addicted
