BOOK REVIEW OF 'BY THE RIVER PIEDRA I SAT DOWN AND WEPT' BY PAULO COELHO

-
Plot of the story is two childhood buddies reunited after they got transformed into a charismatic spiritual guy and an independent woman who lost her Catholic faith in her childhood. 'Love is a trap. When it appears, we only see its light, not shadows' from having a view point like this, Piler, gains the courage to listen to her heart, open the window of her heart for love. In a French village, by the waters of the river Piedra, Piler and her childhood friend discovers their destiny to hold hands for lifetime. He gave up his decision to devote his life for priesthood, while she regains her faith and dares to love him.It was a quick read book and gladly fits into the happy ending category books.
💚The wise are the wise only because they love. And the foolish are foolish only because they think they can understand love. 
💚It takes huge effort to free yourself from memory, the author says, which I agree. Whether painful or jovial, humans are in hoosegows of memories, from which an escape seems to be least possible or demands immense effort.
💚Just as addicts steal and humiliates themselves to get what they need, you are willing to do anything for love.
💚 The moment we begin to seek love, love begins to seek us. And to save us.
💚Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.





RATING : 3.7/5

BOOK REVIEW OF 'POKHRAN'

Author : Uday Singh Genre : Fiction No of Pages : 232 Publisher : Srishti publishers 🖋 As the title suggests, the story takes place in a place named Pokhran, located in Jaipur. Pokhran is a place where 'Smiling Budha' nuclear test was performed successfully in 1974, which was proud initiative to all Indians.  🖋 Never ever I was fascinated by scientific experiment contents. But the initial phase of the story, where info about 'Smiling Budha' project caught my attention well.  I thought the story line will be continued that way.
