...that fleeting feeling !!

This hollow that words cannot express,

I long for peace, nothing more nothing less

This fear that grips me amidst all laughter,

This dazzle and glitter has parched my soul,

leaves me barren and shaken, it takes its toll.

Peace evades and I am chasing,

Stars wink at me and I am gazing...!!

Ranting about this book that I read

Book Review ! This is not so much a book review as much a record of how this book made me feel ! I came to fiction after a long time and wandered and got lost in the lanes of this beautiful island finding love and peace in a warm sunny weather by the sea ! That's the wonder of fiction that even though you know its fictional, nothing ever comes as close to being real and relatable as stories like these. The moment when Linus found out about Arthur and was torn between not knowing whether to trust DICOMY or Arthur was when chills ran down my spine because I know that feeling, a little too much to my liking. Few books and just a few books, after being read create that void which is difficult to fill and sets you looking for something else, some other voice, some other words that can fill this void and this one was for sure among those few !

Becoming a demanding reader !

I started reading as a casual reader, more so driven by the perception of reading rather than actually being driven by the need to read. I started with fiction, gradually drifted to non-fiction but never really had a sense of direction about what to read and hence largely dependent on reviews from co-readers to arrive at my next book. However I have lately started thinking about reading for understanding the world better, for creating my mental models of decision making, to enable choices and to understand concepts I think are far more complex than I can process. And in the process, make effort to remember what I read and also hone my abysmal writing skills. Hence this is an introductory post of my first book review, to summarize my learning and understanding of the last book I read - Made in America by Sam Walton. Deriving inspiration from an article I read on Farnam Street , I will structure my reviews around the following questions and continue improvising as I go along. ...

फर्क सोच का है...

हम सोच सकते है कि लाखों गुज़र गए, हमारा अंत भी आने वाला है या हम सोच सकते है कि लाखों ठीक हो गए, फर्क सोच का है, दिखाई देता अंधेरा है या उजाला है हम सोच सकते है, अर्थव्यवस्था चरमरा गयी है, हमारी जेबे भी खाली होने वाली हैं या हम सोच सकते हैं कि जान बची तो लाखों पाए, फर्क सोच का है, कल दिवाला है या दीवाली है हम सोच सकते है, ज़िन्दगी चार दीवारी में कैद हो गई, हमारी ख्वाइशें दम तोड़ने वाली हैं, या हम सोच सकते हैं, की ख्वाब दीवारों के मोहताज नहीं, फर्क सोच का है, पलको पे इंद्रधनुष है या रात काली है

What's on my mind today..!!
