BOOK REVIEW: PEBBLES ON PAPER

-

 

NAME: PEBBLES ON PAPER    

AUTHOR: SWATI KHATRI 

  Pebbles on paper is a collection of around 40 different poems and thoughts by the author divided in to nine section on various emotions humans go through during different stage of life. Length of content varies from five lines to whole page, overall it a read of about an hour outstretched.  Author describes emotions as pebbles accumulated over time.

 It’s a good read, the whole section on pain and struggle is kind of a self help for people who are dealing with pain and unable to talk to anyone, I really liked how the author described pain as the most faithful emotion to human race, few of the poems are very in intriguing to a deep thinking mind. Chapters in the end feels like episodes of a series one interlinked with other. I loved how parallel emotions of pain and healing are described. Author’s thoughts on winning and how the actual journey starts after reaching the winning spot is quite thought provoking. Description of love is also pure and serene. I felt as if I am the one reciting, poem on love is very well written. Swati Khatri gave this book a very good end, “ Rules of life” is a must read in the book they are simple rules which everyone knows but pushes backward just the sake of it. Swati Khatri reminds readers how easy rules to live a happy and content life are.

Thought behind the book being very good, the writing needs bit more effort, few words and sentences in the poem at start feels as if have been written just for the sake of rhyming and are out of places giving it a distorted look. Over all the book requires polishing in the writing area.

The “Must read” picks of Pebbles on Paper are Change, Right, Thoughts, Blend, Moving, Health takes time, and simple & sweet.

I would definitely recommend this book to all the poetry fans and deep thinkers out there. 😊

Head that wears the crown

  It’s funny how, over the years, I’ve moved through a handful of bosses probably five or six by now and, if I’m being honest, I never really liked any of them. I mean, who does, right? But recently, the disdain I’ve held for them has slowly shifted to something more like pity. Maybe it’s just a natural shift that happens as you gain experience, or maybe it’s the result of certain events. Either way, it’s been on my mind lately. For as long as I can remember, the go-to office pastime has always been “bashing the boss.” You know, that whole ritual of gossiping about their quirks, criticizing their decisions, or poking fun at their management style. And in a way, it’s a bonding activity for colleagues a way to release stress and feel like we’re all in the same boat. But recently, an old Gujarati saying has been sticking with me: “ પીપળ પાન ખરતાં હસતી કુંપળીયાં , મુજ વીતી તુ જ વીતશે , ધીરી બાપુડીયાં …” (Translation: As the old leaves of the peepal tree fall, the younger ...

THE FINAL PAYMENT

  Indra stretched lazily on his bed, watching “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma” on his phone; he had been doing that for a whole day now. His daughter had promised him a set of his favourite books; they should have reached him by now, but the hospital staff had become very strict with the rapid rise in the number of cases. He had been reading stories of how rapidly the virus spread through one’s body; however, he felt just fine except for slight breathing difficulties. He wondered what all the fuss was about. With that thought, the oxygen monitor started to beep; his O2 monitor showed 94. He remembered nurses talking to each other about how O2 should be maintained above 95. He thought to himself, “ I should relax a bit. Good thoughts, Indra. Think good thoughts!” And with that, his mind wandered to the construction of his new farmhouse, a project he'd been planning for years. With his retirement just around the corner, he had envisioned spending his golden years there with his w...
