The Palace of Illusions - A Tale Narrated in her view...

Many people love Epics - The Ramayana, The Mahabharatha, and many more lying out there; They are great - the tales, that can inspire, that can warn, that can help; Every tale had its message, but the views?

We may focus the flow on some main characters; but the thing is, everyone is the main character...

"The Palace of Illusions", is an Epic narrated; the majority portion will be familiar, but not all of it.

Well, if you do not want to get spoiled, you can get a soft copy for free here and give it a read... (if you love reading hard copies, you can order here..)

A Short Review:-

The majority of the credit goes to the author, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, for her excellent writing - we can visualize every scene in great detail; well of course the existence of the tale itself can take some credit...

25 and Disappointed: Can’t we choose simple life?

There’s something strange about the way we live now. It’s not enough to do your job. You have to grow. Climb. Upskill. Network. Earn more. Spend more. Repeat. People areound you - even the ones who seem tired - still say, “Keep pushing.” The ones ahead keep reaching higher. The ones behind are told to catch up. And if you stand still for even a moment, they say you’re wasting time. But no one explains why. Why is a peace a problem? Why is being satisfied with what you have seen as a failure? This idea of “simple life” - it used to be normal. Work. Come home. Cook. Be with the people you love. Rest. Now it’s rare. Or romanticized. Or quietly looked down on. We’re told that success means constant movement. That we need to hustle, or we’ll be left behind. But behind what, really? We’ve normalized the rat race, without asking who started it. And the truth is - only a few can actuallly win it. Most people burn out trying. Others fake their way through it, smiling through st...

25 and Disappointed: The tragedy of leaving home

It’s strange, isn’t it? We live in a world with high-speed internet, 5G, instant messages, Zoom calls and flight tickets that can take us across the country in a few hours. The world has never been more connected. And yet… we’re all so far apart. We are becoming disabled in this tech enabled world. People move away from home more than ever. To study. To work. To “build a future.” Yes, it’s needed sometimes. For learning. For exposure. But often… it seems we are allowing it quietly more than required. Maybe it’s just the system forcing us to. All the jobs are in cities. All the money, infrastructure and “opportunities”. Hence we leave. We leave behind warm meals, evening walks with parents, familiar lanes and families that actually feel like festivals. We leave people who raised us - and see them only on phone calls or during a short visit squeezed between deadlines. For what? For a cubicle in a crowded city, A rented flat that never feels like home, Weekends that vanish in chores,...

my fav quotes from my teachers

On the occasion of Teacher's day, I wanted to remember my fav teachers in school/teacher and their quotes that stayed fresh in my mind after many years. NOTE: I may not remember the exact words. These are just from my memory. Anyway, who cares? From my social sir in school:- When does a revolt rise? When people lose their patience. From my Sanskrit sir in jr. college:- There is no edge for knowledge. From my chemistry sir in jr. college:- No one wants to return from the death. Maybe death is very beautiful. Also from the same sir:- When you comb your hair, your focus should be on completely on your hair and the comb. Also from the same sir:- In a forest, the tallest animal is Giraffe. The wisest animal is fox. The largest animal is Elephant. Lion is none of them. But still he is king of the jungle. From my maths sir in jr. college:- (he said in a form of poem which his teacher told) I am going through a forest, On the way there was beautiful trees, with bloomin...
