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...

It questions you - about Destiny, Vengence, Patriarchy, and much more.


So, that's it; not gonna waste your time - Immerse yourself in one of the most celebrated Epics - The Mahabharatha, as narrated by the Krishnaa...


P. S. Already read the book? Don't forget to tell your views - also you can share the books you want to suggest, so helping us reach 'The Eternal Thing'...

Bye-bye strict timetables...! - The Bloggers League 2022

     Author: Rama Subrahmanyam (ramasubrahmanyam.m@gmail.com) When we are planning for multi-tasking, we divide our time and allocate it for each task. That is a great thing, as it gives a chance for incremental growth, eventually getting compounded...      Scheduling makes us punctual; sometimes forces us to be punctual if someone is counting on us, say an examination, office meeting, so on...      Besides strict things, some activities should happen at planned times, like sports, gym, etc. But, we still have things, that can be done in our free time - say reading books, solving puzzles, or learning something of our passion. Should we also maintain the timetable in those cases...? Well, may not be that necessary... We get used to a task at the same time if we have a strict timetable; In a way, can also affect our peace... Suppose due to urgent work, we missed a task      -  We may develop a bad feeling,      - This can lead to frustration, anger, regret, grief...       uff... Enough d

How can we become narrow-minded people without realising it?

In science, whenever we observe a novel event, we start sharpening our brains to decode it. We make a couple more observations related to that event, and try to get a reason for it. It was also the same with the previous generation of scientists. They observed various new phenomena and they gathered as much information as possible to get the accurate reason behind them. But there was a problem with the human mind. In the past days, when there was limited information at hand and more time was required for getting new information, scientists had to make the best possible theories (i.e., explanations) with whatever data was available. It was like a competition, where the scientist with the best theory would win. This "winner" scientist, should be able to explain the data from future experiments with the theory. Consider that, a new experiment happened later, but the results were not explained by the theory of our scientist, then the theory was to be changed, and again the compet
