Our Changing Climate

I know this post has nothing to do with book reviewing but it has everything to do with books and life itself. Climate change is a challenging problem which can alter the very existence if not looked into. We need to stop climate change before climate changes us. Please watch this video created by YouTubers Finn Harries and Jack Harries and understand that climate change is a massive problem. We...

[Book Review] Midnight's Children

I really don't know what to say. This book took me so long to finish that I felt like I've lost my reading speed. I started this book in August and look, it's halfway through November already. I can't blame entirely on this book because I've been busy with other things like sewing,...

[Book Review] Paper Towns

John Green's romantic adventure novel "Paper Towns" is an adventure to nowhere. This fictional novel has been adapted to movie version by the same name and stars Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff. The cover page is really attractive with a red tack pinned on a map. The whole idea of the...

[Book Review] Chemmeen

T. S Pillai's masterpiece "Chemmeen" is a mesmerising seaside story. "Chemmeen" is a realistic fictional tragedy which focuses on the lifestyle of early fishermen folk in Kerala, the southern part of India. Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai's "Chemmeen" is the first Malayalam novel to win Sahitya...

[Book Review] The Goldfinch

Donna Tartt's widely acclaimed fictional novel "The Goldfinch" bridges into a visual treat through its beautiful and elaborate depiction of each and every scene. This winner of Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2014 swings somewhere between suspense thriller and realistic fiction. The partially...

Blogger Recognition Award

So excited to have won my first ever blogger award... I am really honoured to have got this recognition. Eventhough it's just a simple little picture, it has been like receiving an Oscar. I'm not joking. When someone checks out my blog and likes them, it makes my day. And when someone nominates...

[Book Review] The Power of Now

"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle can easily take a position in top 3 must reads. This book is what one can say as life changing. Every single sentence rings with truth. I really don't have any other way to put it but one can relate to myriad details written in this lovely spiritual...

[Book Review] In Your Sights

"In Your Sights" by Elizabeth Krall wasn't really what I expected and it wasn't up to the mark for me. To start off, the cover went well with the theme of the book. The monochrome picture of a person walking was in coherence with the photography themed mystery-thriller.  "In...

[Movie Review] The Theory of Everything

It wasn't the fact that this movie is life of the great physicist Stephen Hawking nor was the truth that the lead actor has won the Oscar for his splendid performance as the scientist that made me watch this film. It was the poster. The poster made me see this film. The way Jane and Stephen...

[Movie Review] The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

After watching the prequels- 'The Hobbit' and 'The Desolation of Smaug', I had to watch this one. I still cannot get over the fact that all these three movies is based on one small book. How the hell did Peter Jackson managed to produce three movies out of the small book by J R R Tolkien...

[Book Review] Oktober Heat

Doris Dumrauf's "Oktober Heat" is a fascinating mystery novel set in Germany- post Cold War. This one was given to me by the author herself for reviewing and I am truly thankful for that. Before going into more details about the novel, I would like to say about the book's cover. Only...

[Movie Review] Oru Vadakkan Selfie

'Oru Vadakkan Selfie'. The name itself can give you the whole theme of the film. It all starts with a selfie. I watched this one with my friends and so it couldn't have gone better. Directed by Prajith Karanavar, this film stars Nivin Pauly, Aju Varghese, Manjima Mohan, Neeraj Madhav,...

[Book Review] The Lost Symbol

After reading 'Angels and Demons' and having read 'Da Vinci Code' a long time ago, I had to read the third book in Robert Langdon series. One thing about this series was that the Harvard professor, Robert Langdon, was a character that is intriguing and interesting to read about. Excited...

[Movie Review] The Fault in our Stars

Having read the book, I felt a strange desire to watch the movie. I have always wanted to know whether movie version is different from book version. Like most of the book based movies, 'The Fault in our Stars' was a cut and copy of the book and that made this a tiny bit dull but it was...

[Movie Review] Big Hero 6

  One look at Baymax will force you to watch the entire movie. Being an oscar winner is not much of a reason to watch 'Big Hero 6' but Baymax is indeed a reason to watch this film and that's how I came to watch this film. Directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, 'Big Hero 6'...

[Movie Review] Without a clue

If you like Sherlock Holmes, you will definitely like this movie. "Without a clue" might be the funniest mystery genre movie that I saw. Before seeing this movie I didn't realise that mystery movies could be so funny.  Starring Ben Kingsley and Michael Cane, this movie is total...

[Book Review] Stardust

I have to declare that I have not completed this book and I will let you know the reason soon. I decided to read this book only because I saw the film first otherwise I wouldn't even have come close to this disastrous piece by Neil Gaiman (sorry but you leave me no choice). The plot...

[Book Review] Angels and Demons

When I saw two copies of 'Da Vinci Code' lying perfectly well on the book shelf of the central library in my college, I immediately wanted to read it again as I had read it so young that I could possibly have understood nothing. So I took it thinking that I can finish it off fastly and...
