M aa Maine Hi Makkhan Khayo: Modern Stories Of Lord Krishna written by Nurani S Ravi . This book features fictional stories about the grace of Lord Krishna. The title is both detailed and captivating. The cover image is soothing and calming, just like the book itself, however, a lighter and more pastel-colored cover could enhance the beauty and contrast of the overall design. This is a collection of short stories featuring seven tales centered around the devotees of Lord Krishna. Although these are short stories, some exceeded more than twenty pages, making them quite substantial. In each story, we can clearly see the grace and playful nature of Lord Krishna, and these little moments of magic add tremendous depth and emotion to the narratives. The author's storytelling brings each character to life, letting readers feel the love and teachings of Krishna. Each story beautifully blends modern-day life problems with a mythological touch. One thing I loved about this book is its narr

      T oday, let's review the book B order Crossers by Bhaskar Roy . This book falls under the contemporary genre.  The title of the book is more suitable and apt for its content. The cover image and the color choice of the cover both are well suited for its story. I don’t know why, but whenever I read a book with an image of iron border fencing, it resonates deeply with me and often leaves me with sleepless nights. For example, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Man's Search for Meaning had a profound impact on me. I’d like to add Border Crossers to that list as well. Although this book has a different plot, it explores themes of identity and focuses on the challenges faced by people who migrate undocumented. Though the story features many important characters, the main plot revolves around Rita, an immigrant from Bangladesh living as an undocumented refugee in Delhi. Her life is fraught with poverty and struggle, but she finds a glimmer of hope when Arijit, a retired diplom

                     W henever I open YouTube, the suggestion videos will be like enhancing your aesthetic, aesthetic home, aesthetic decor these words were surrounding recently. I know these were popular even before a couple of years ago, but these days everyone is trying to fall and follow the same. What is really aesthetic? Why does it become so popular? these were the questions that arose in my mind all of a sudden in my midnight bed thoughts. Which eventually became a topic of the next day's dinner topic with my family. So, here I am going to summarise all the points that we spoke about along with my verdict about the same. Shall we dig in now The aesthetic was not something that arose all of a sudden, my granddad said it was at a peak, especially in the 1970s as well, but was majorly it was followed by the rich and high society people, and also only they could afford the same. It was called fashion at that time and now we renamed it Aesthetic (Just like remake movies). Even n

 I was a phone buff even before the COVID-19 lockdown. Since I have a dusky complexion (which I now embrace), I wanted to change it and ended up following YouTube beauty gurus (as they call themselves). I followed their skincare and haircare tips religiously, which resulted in severe hair fall and transformed my oily skin into dry and sensitized sensitive skin. After trying many of their DIY remedies, I ended up with serious hair and skin issues that led me to visit a dermatologist. I underwent treatment for over a year. When they asked what I had been applying to my skin, the list included: Rice flour Potato Tomato Baking soda Aloe vera gel Lime juice Orange juice Papaya Besan, atta, milk, and the list goes on The only comment the dermatologist had was, " Instead of taking care of your skin, you’re cooking food in it. Why didn’t you include salt, sugar, and chili powder? "   My response was, "Except for chili, I applied the other two on my lips." I spent close to
