Book Review

Book Name: The Monk who sold his Ferrari by Robin Sharma 

Review: The book talks about Wisdom to Create a Life of Passion, Purpose, and Peace. It gives the important lesson of mastering the mind, following the purpose, being disciplined, respecting time, and selflessly serving others. 

"यह पुस्तक जोश, उद्देश्य और शांति से भरा जीवन बनाने की बुद्धिमत्ता पर चर्चा करती है। यह मन पर नियंत्रण, उद्देश्य का पालन, अनुशासित रहने, समय का सम्मान करने और निस्वार्थ भाव से दूसरों की सेवा करने का महत्वपूर्ण पाठ देती है"

Book Name: Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Healthy Life

Review: I was impressed by how effectively it uses few words to discuss the importance of finding one’s purpose and how doing so can result in a long life.

"मैं इस बात से प्रभावित हुआ कि इसमें कितने प्रभावशाली ढंग से कम शब्दों का प्रयोग करके अपने उद्देश्य को खोजने के महत्व पर चर्चा की गई है और बताया गया है कि ऐसा करने से किस प्रकार लंबी आयु प्राप्त की जा सकती है"

Book Name: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Review: "The book says that everyone has a dream meant for them, and if you follow your heart with courage, the universe helps you achieve it. It teaches about believing in yourself, learning from your journey, and never giving up on your dreams."

"यह किताब बताती है कि हर किसी का एक सपना होता है, और अगर आप हिम्मत के साथ अपने दिल की सुनें, तो ब्रह्मांड आपको उसे हासिल करने में मदद करता है। यह किताब खुद पर विश्वास करने, अपनी यात्रा से सीखने और अपने सपनों को कभी न छोड़ने की सीख देती है।"

Book Name: Draupadi  by Mahasweta Devi

Review: "After having read about the character of Draupadi in Mahabharata, in Hindu mythology, and the character of Dopdi Mejhen in the fictional story Draupadi written by Mahasweta Devi, every time I hear the name Draupadi, it creates an image of a woman naked, bleeding and fiercely staring at a man, in my mind. There is something about the representation of these two characters, who lived centuries (or yuga) apart, which makes them so much alike and so much different at same time. Mahasweta Devi titled her story of Dopdi Mejhen, a tribal woman and a 'Naxalite' (as government calls her and her people) similar to the name of Draupadi (Queen of Indraprastha), who is considered to be the reason behind the epic battle of Mahabharata in Dwaparayuga (third yuga out of four, according to Sanskrit scriptures). Both of these women, Draupadi and Dopdi, are the subjects to the violence (either physical, mental or cultural), mainly to the institution of 'patriarchy', in dominant sense. This story presents before us the plight of the underprivileged sections of the society in the contemporary setting. A socio-political enthusiast must dig her head, once in her lifetime, into such a thought-provoking piece of writing"
