Books....Books....Books

By
Reading has been the biggest love of my life since the time I can remember. I can actually hog on books and thrive on them!

My mother introduced me to reading when I was 5. I was a hyper active child wanting to do loads of things in the shortest possible time. And she thought books will help me use my energies in a better manner.

She was so right.... since then till now my appetite for books just keeps increasing day by day. Something that began as a hobby is now a passion. Something I cannot live without. I thrive on books, if I can say that and yes I am bibliophile much to the disappointment of my mother now as she hates me getting lost in books oblivious to her !

I read and I review and I review and I read... its a happy never ending cycle. Sharing my most favourite books ( not in this order) which I have reviewed here:



P.S: I am taking part in The Write Tribe Festival of Words 1st - 7th September 2013

P.PS: Apologies for such a short post, but time constraints due to many nonsensical reasons!! Will surely try to write more for tomorrow.

  Namrata talks about  Anuja Chandramouli’s  latest book,  Mohini: The Enchantress  ( August, 2020) calling it an attempt to paint a fresh image of Mohini in the reader’s mind . “Elusive as a fragment of a forgotten dream, fragile as a figment from fantasy, Mohini is perfection made possible. Distilled from the essence of Vishnu, Mohini the Enchantress is a part of him and yet she revels in the autonomy and extraordinary powers of beauty, magic and enchantment that are hers to wield. She is loved and desired by all in existence and yet, she is elusive tantalizing temptress, traipsing her way across the topsy-turvy terrain of fable and myth.” Anuja Chandramouli Anuja Chandramouli’s Mohini is a beautiful ode to the Goddess of Beauty and Fertility. Considered to be the only female avatar of Vishnu, created by Vishnu and Shakti, this book traces her life through sands of time. As an author Anuja Chandramouli has been known to explore lesser known aspects of different mythological character

  Namrata explores Kabul through Taran N Khan’s Shadow City which according to her isn’t just about a city . Stories in Kabul begin with the phrase ‘ Yeki bood, yeki na bood .’ There was one, there was no one. Taran N Khan (Shadow City) Taran N Khan’s first book, Shadow City takes us around Kabul highlighting the varied experiences the city and its people have been through over years. It is neither a memoir, nor a travelogue. Lying somewhere in between, Khan has found the perfect voice to depict a place which has been through so much and yet continues to thrive in various ways. Growing up in Aligarh, Khan grew up with a fascination for Afghanistan due to her Pashtun background. After completing her education in Delhi and London, she has now decided to call Mumbai her home for the time being. Her works have been widely published in India and internationally, including in Guernica, Al Jazeera, the  Caravan  and  Himal Southasian . Her writing has also received support from the MacDowell
