         "Story of the Ordinary" is a collection of three stories from different location of India, including The Junk Man, Potter Sticky Clay, and Hand of Gold which resolve around everyday situations and relations but are packed with moral values.

I like how through simple stories author makes us think on different levels like understanding the mind of our little ones, impact of skilled labourers on the children be it a scrap collector, potter or a blacksmith and their contribution in our lives and on the society. The book sheds light on how one can incorporate small values through everyday events from a young age. The stories show a positive way of guiding the children towards a better perspective on life. 

The language of the book is easy. I particularly like the interactive picture to fill on the right side of the book which, a fun activity for the children along with learning values. I was able to spot only one typo error on page 13 which is the only unpleasant thing about the book.

Rating: I would rate the book 4 out of 5 points.
Conclusion: Its a good choice for someone who looking to introduce their children to reading.

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...
