Books to read during quarantine 📚

As the world is facing epidemic of corona virus, most of the world is living in home and facing lockdown. Yes I know that there is full of negativity around us right now but  its in our hand to be happy and try to find positivity in these tough times. And the best thing is plenty of time in our hand. And that's exactly we had been wanting for. So here I am to recommend you some books that you can read and enjoy during lockdown. As the delivery of books is not available what are ebooks for and they are comparatively cheaper too.

1.THE BOY WHO LOVED by Durjoy Dutta- This book is delight to read. It takes the reader to towards the brutal realities of our society. It is said that books usually take us to the place far from the reality but this book is totally opposite and bring us back to the reality of our society through the story of Raghu and Brahmi. It reflects the internal fears of human. It is must read for one who likes to read something deep and meaningful.

2.THE PALACE OF ILLUSIONS by Chitra Bannerjee Divakaruni- If you are a mythological fiction lover then go for it and if you are not then you must pick this book. It is amazingly written that will make you fan of the author. I have heard everyone praising this book and it is worth it. It is a book set around the time of mahabharat, narrated through Draupadi's prospective, the wife of 5 Pandava's. This one line that the blurb suggests attracted me a lot-"It is a story about a woman born into a man's world. "And it says all.

3.KARNA'S WIFE:THE OUTCAST QUEEN by Kavita kane- It is a book set on a women's outlook at the time of mahabharat. A women who is strong enough to choose the man of her life even at that time after being opposed by whole world including her parents.It is a brilliant book and a must read.

4.BAAZ by Anuja Chauhan- It is book set in 1960's . It is that much engaging that it will keep you hooked till the last page.
It is a book about an Air Force Officer Ishaan and photographer Tinka. If you like stories that keep you hooked to the last page go for it.

5.SITA'S SISTER by Kavita Kane- It is another book by Kavita Kane that amazed me. In this time of lockdown when every Indian is going back to its roots and watching Ramayan this book becomes more delight to read as it is the book that is set at the time of ramayan obviously as it is story of sita's sister Urmila and her outlook towards the world and the eternal love of two sisters. It shows the story of lesser known characters of Ramayan and I think it is the best time to read this book.

So stay at home, stay safe, keep washing your hands and keep reading.

5 ways to make reading a habit 📚

"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies.The man who never reads lives only one."
                                               -George R.R. Martin

Reading,this word has an extereme importance for me,as it has developed me as a person a lot.When we read we get dissolved in the story,the characters of the story, their happiness,their sorrow becomes ours.Reading helps a lot in the development of our mind and it makes us intellectual.

For the people who are interested in reading or want to start read ing but don't know HOW or WHAT to read,then this post is for you.Here are some ways through which you can start reading:--

1.START WITH AN EASY ONE- When a kid takes admission to the school,he is firstly made to learn 123, he is not given the book to solve huge mathematical problems.Most of the people because of peer pressure starts with deep literature books,which are difficult to get by the beginners,ultimately they give up, lost interest & they throw the idea of reading into the dustbin.if you are just beginning then you should start with books which are easy to get.Forget about what your friends will think keep in mind only what you would like to read.

2.CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE GENRE GENRE-If your heart lies in mystery and you are picking romance,then you won't be able to enjoy the book.Pick the book of your favorite genre.For that you can also use this idea,choose genre of your favorite movies then go for those kind of books.

3.SET A GOAL & ACCOMPLISH IT- Always set small goals & try to accomplish them.Set a regular proper time for reading,set the time that will suit you & in which you can't be easily disturbed.But always remember NEVER force yourself too much for accomplishing goal by forcing yourself you will also loose interest and you won't be able to get the real essence of book.If you really want then take your time and get the book properly.

4.START WITH SHORT STORY COLLECTION- If you are a kind of person (just like my friends)who is lazy to read the whole book or a person who can't stick to the book for a long time,who doesn't have the strength to read continuously a story for a long time then you should definitely go for short story collections.There are many short story books in the market go and check them out.


5.CONNECT TO THE COMMUNITY- The main & big reason through which I became able to read more is watching booktube videos. If you don't have reader friends like me then connect or get in touch with online community like booktubers,bookstagrammers,bookbloggers etc. Because discussing books with them or reading or watching their content will increase your interest in books.There are several booktubers like -Indian booktuber, helly, bookgeeks India, Meera etc and they are my favorite too.Go and check them out.

So go and pick up a book and start reading now.And Don't forget to tell me which book you have started reading, whether you liked it or not. Comment 💬  now!!!

5 ways to be more productive

We all have the same 24 hours in a day but we all spend it differently.It is similar to the concept that many readers read the same book differently.Now do a small task just go through your day and think about it that how much time you are spending on your work and how much work you have completed.It happens almost with everyone that we spend a huge part of the day working and even after spending that much time on work when we look to the actual amount of work done it is never satisfactory. Here are some ways of being more productive throughout the day.

1.PLAN OUT YOUR DAY -The task that tops on this list is that firstly plan out your day that means list out the task that you have to do during the day and then write it down on the paper or sheet.Stick that paper or sheet on any wall or desk and keep ticking the tasks as you complete them.

2.KEEP DISTANCE FROM YOUR PHONE-If we actually keep check on the time that we are spending on our phone we will actually find that most of the time during the day we are just wasting infront of the screen.And the amount of time our phone snatches from us that particular time can be very useful for us in doing actual important stuff.

3.BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF- How much time you are actually busy and how much time you just pretend to be?Ask this question to yourself.Do you actually think that you are working all the time. I am sure most of the people will answer in negative. Because here is the thing that what we lack is that we are not being honest with ourselves.To be more productive it is important to utilize each and every minute we have.

4.WAKE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING -It is most common and useful way to be more productive because when you wake up early you add few more minutes to your day.It is psychological thing you will feel that you have some extra time to complete your daily task.

5.DESTRESS YOUSELF-Most the time when we have a lot of work and we are going through a tough day we really need to destress yourself for a while.When you are going through such day just stop for 5 minutes take a long breath and start doing things that you love take a walk,read a chapter of your favourite book or listen to your favourite song but take a break and refresh yourself.


So here was my gyan:p take care of your lovely selfs😊

The real freedom

The day when everbody is talking about freedom. Everyone is enjoying their own share of freedom but here I am sitting in the corner of my room thinking about this word called freedom.Going back to the times when this word "freedom" has a huge importance among the countrymen, when this word was given huge respect. When everyone was crazy to find the freedom. Many sacrificed their life to gain this freedom. They used to say its better to die then living a life of a slave.Their valuable life gifted us this valuable freedom. When I was a kid my teacher used to say we have gained this freedom after a lot of struggle because of it we can do what we want, we can live freely,this freedom is of much importance.I was way too immature to absorb the meaning under it.Gradually I grew up and came to know that freedom is not just that we got seventy one years ago .Somehow we all are caged in some unwanted problems.We need to be free from them ,we really need to be free from them .These 71 years that we have spent calling ourselves as free nation but have failed ourselves by calling ourselves as a free person.We successfully conquered those outsiders but failed to conquer ourselves.There are many things around us which are not letting us to be free,which are not allowing us to be free.This freedom has many aspects, it has different aspect for each person.For me freedom is to think freely,for me freedom is to dream freely,for me freedom is to independently achieve the things that I want to achieve, for me freedom is to live by my own choices.
I know there are many hindrances in between to achieve our freedom, I know there are many obstacles to be come.But when our heros sacrificed their lives seventy one years ago and sacrificing today on borders too for freedom,  can't we just fight with these hindrances and achieve our freedom.

Come let's find our freedom. .......

Let her fly..

She is a mother,
She is a daughter,
She is a wife,
She is a sister,
She is a friend,

But what she is not -"a prisoner".She is not a prisoner to be caged behind bars. She doesn't want to remain in those four walls forever. She wants to explore, She wants to be happy, She wants to cross the limits, She wants to fly...

Then who are we to stop her,
Then who are we to cut her wings,
Please let her fly.
Let her do what she wants,
Let allow her to be happy,
Let allow her to live her life freely,
Let open the doors of her cage,
And..

Let her fly,
Let her fly.....

Every morning is new ...

Every morning is new,everyday there is something new,some energies,some excitement. Each new day comes with a spark,with some light,with some hope,with some dreames,with some events, with some happiness and with some sorrows too...

But,its totally up to us how we see them,how we deal with them ,its totally up to us.Nobody can help with this.Because in whichever condition you are,the depth of the things can only be understandable by you, no one can get it as deeply  you can and more importantly the betterment is for you,so the efforts should also be yours.Never try to put your efforts in changing others, always put your valuable efforts to change yourself.Because whenever you will change yourself.Because the whole world will be seemed changed for you.

Change the perspective of your mind, change your thinking.
And remember always every morning is new ,each morning will bring its own joy.If today was not yours, make sure that tomorrow it will be yours.Don't be tensed with that meaningless issues.
Just believe in yourself. .....

Finally back !!!

Ever had with you that you have ignored the  things in the life which are meant to be life for you .I have heard people saying that you can always take out time for the things you like or you love to do.You always have time for your favourite things.It's not about time it is just about priorities.

Well ,I agree it's true .But I don't know why I forgot the reason behind starting this blog .Six -seven months back when I started this blog my main aim was just to continue my writing because I didn't wanted my pen to stop.I wanted to pour my heart out .I wanted to talk ,I want to talk about the things I love that are reading ,writing. But what I did I broke up my promise with myself that I will be continue on writing and will never give up.I was very lost these days. I don't know what I was doing
.There was not even a single day when I was not feeling for writing but I don't know why and what was stopping me from just picking up my pen and paper  and writing dowm my thoughts on it.

Well which has already happened it can't be
changed but which can be changed and is needed to be changed is me and my carelessness towards my writing. And this time my promise is for sure,that I will be regular will never let my pen to stop or even take a break.

And promises are meant to be kept.. :p

Dear diary...

Dear Diary,
You are the one to whom I can pour my heart out.You are the only one to whom I can share all my secrets too.You are the one to whom I can share my joy and my sorrows.You are the companion of my dreams, you are the companion of my ups and downs.You are the one to whom I can express my very pure thoghts.No matter if everyone do not want to talk to me I know you will never betray.You will never let me down.I know you are the one to whom I can express my very pure thoughts without any filter.

But,everytime I try to keep you ,I fail .I fail,because I am afraid for my secrets to open.I am afraid that my views will open. I am afraid that I will lose all my secrets which were between us, which were confined to my heart.

I know you will not tell anyone intentionally but someone can go through yourself accidently.
I am not afraid to pour my heart out,I am not afraid to share my thoughts ,I am not afraid to share my secrets,I am not afraid to share my joy and sorrows.
I am afraid for just to be expressed.I don't want to be an open book.I want the hidden me to keep with myself.I don't want my ideas,my thoughts to be stealed.

I just want my thoughts with my self and also with you my dear diary......

Writers diaries🤗📚

WRITER.....A word of just six characters but has a very deeper meaning inside it. This single word has the power to change the nation and to change perspectives of people.

When we read something, i mean anything those words influence our mind, all of them get stuck in our mind.These are the words which are born by the writers.They pour their heart out on paper for others to read.They pen down their thoughts ,emotions in the form of words for the readers.It is just amazing to think about that the book or story we are reading, written by a person is born from his/her imagination.Isn't it?

Writting is maybe a single thing other than reading which still attracts me since my childhood.When I am writing you can see the expression on my face it is quite satisfying. It makes me happy. It escapes me from every problems or difficulties of my life.

Many people have a habit of keeping a diary or a journals in which they keep their thoughts and all the happenings of their life.I have also tried to keep one but I always fail to keep one due to my studies or many other reasons.But I still believe that keeping a diary or a journal gives you some time with you.Yes, you can spend at least some minutes of you day with yourself. It is the time when you can peep through yourself. Try to keep one. I will also try :)

I have heard from many that introverts are good writers.Because they cannot express themselves to others so they prefer to express their thougts to pen and paper.Well, I am a bit introvert too.But I don't believe in this.An extrovert can also be a good writer, they  can also express themselves through pen and paper just like they express to people.

There is a writer or storyteller in each of us.we just have need to recognise it.

So friends keep writing and keep reading :)

Nostalgia :(

Yesterday I passed through my school.Yes my school in which I have spent years of my age in learning and more that playing and enjoying.The very moment hardly of one minute took back me to that period of my life.

I was staring at those little children,they were coming to the school with a heavy bag placed on their backs.They were looking like cute snails.A couple of months ago I was also  among them coming to school, sitting on the bench with my sweet friends, listening to the teachers.And sometimes waiting for the lecture to over so that we can run from the class and scroll through the school.All those days were amazing.


Today I am not in the school through but I have the most precious memories of that part of my life burried in my heart...

First day of college part 2

🤗dreamer's diaries 🤗

Dreams are not what you saw in sleep , dreams are those that do not allow you to sleep....... 

Someone has well said the above lines.Everybody see dreams some people get opportunity to fullfill their dream and some not.But every one dreams.Our dream is one which gives us hope in our life and trust me without hope we are nothing.This dream is one which takes us to the another world.It is the one which mesmerizes us.Our dream becomes our  life.



I hve two dreams in my life.Maybe it sounds weird but yes i have two dreams first one is to become an ias officer so that i can serve my nation.And the second one is to become a writer.I want to tell my stories to the world.It's really amazing to think that worlds written by me are read by people throughout the world. The very thought can excite me.


But by the way it's my dream but what's your..........





U can leave in the comment box........

😊what is the sense of friendship for us😞

Hello everyone I am back again sorry for the late posting but i was busy those days.As friendship season is going on,I thought that I should should post about what real friendship is?we all have friends close friends, timepass friends, real friends, fake friends, fb friends etc.But our each and every friend has an important place in our life.Friendship is not just a word it means our whole world.If you think that you don't have good friends that means that this is not only fault of your friends but your also.


Today we are not going to talk about that how your friend should be but we are going to talk that how you should be as a friend.

1.Good listener- Whenever your friends tells you about their happiness and sorrows will you listen to them calmly or get irrited easily.

2.A big annoyer-Dxo you always stick around your friend when they don't want you or want to be alone.

3.A protective friend - If your friends talks to to their another friends would you feel jealous??

These  are some points from which you can realte to you or your friend.And if you not relate to that points than 👍 you are definitely a good friend.

Bye this time and be ready for the next post this week.Again same request plz share and cment also you can follow my profile.

Reader's Diary📚

Hey friends,I am back.As promised in the previous post I will share about my book experience with you.Today I am going to tell about the book "The Promise "by Nikita Singh. It is less than a book review as I am going to share my personal views here.

It is the story of a girl Sambhavi,who is an interior designer.She is a carefree girl.She is not sure about her career.She also paints.She loves her paintings.That's why she does not want to sell them.Although she is a type of person who doesn't share her personal problems with anyone even not with her best friend. Her father is very ill.She is earning to pay the hospital bills of her father.One day a man came to his life Arjun.And her life started changing gradually.He is the most suspicious type of guy who is trying to forget his past.It is not a typical story of a girl met boy.It is the story wooven around the emotional boundaries of a relationship.I liked the story very much. It was the first book which caused me near to cry.The most emotional moment was that when Sambhavi insists on holding her dead child whose arm is broken Nikita has woven the moment very beautifully. Well as a big fan of Nikita Singh I will strongly suggest you to grab the book and read it.

How does reading affect us

Hello friends, i am back after a huge gap.Today i am going to share my views on reading. I am a bookworm.I like fiction. And this interest of mine in reading has woken a writer inside me.Reading is very important in our life.It helps in exploring ourselves. It took us to the new world of imagination. I am telling you this by my personal experience. We connect ourselves with the character of the story. We can feel the emotions of the character.We relate to that character sometimes.And sometimes we find that what is happening with that character in the story is similar with our life.I'm a huge fiction fan.I mostly read indian authors like - Nikita singh, Ravinder singh, Preeti shenoy, Durjoy dutta and of course Chetan bhagat.

In the next post i will share more things with you  and also about some fiction novels which i have read and i like about them.

If you are liking my posts please don't forget to share and comment.☺😊

COLLEGE HUNTING 😊☺

              COLLEGE  HUNTING
Hello friends, i am new to this blogger's world.THis is my first blog and i am dedicating it to all of you.Friends i have recently got admission in college. And most of you know the troubles of selecting a college. When my result of 12th was out i came into reality that the easy and fun loving part in my life is gone and now it's time to be serious about my career i was sure that i want to do in graduation but still confused that what will i do after that because a graduation degree will also affect my post graduation course. But fi nally after all the confusion i decided to do bachlor of commerce in taxation because i love accounts.And then time came to select college which can suit my choice and budget too.Then i startd college hunting with my friends. And believe me that was a tremendous experience. This experience taught me various things .We went here and there and we visitedalmost all the colleges of the city.😞ya not all but most of them.But talking to teachers and van drivers to explaing them the address, visiting the college libraries, running from this to that counter all these are very normal things but they teach a lot.These things experiences us an air of independency and an air of matureness which gives us confidence and also tell us that now we are not kids any more we are grown ups .That's all for today but i promise next time meet you with a more interesting topic and with a more interesting post.bye.
