                                  The other day I was reading this Mythological fiction book and I am in love with it.  Janaka and Ashtavakra' by Ashraf is an appealing account of one of the unrevealed series of Ramayana presented in a captivating manner. Janaka was the king of Mithila in ancient India. Ashtavakra was a sage who was born with eight physical deformities. According to Hindu mythology, Janaka was one of the disciples of Ashtavakra and they had many philosophical debates.  Ashtavakra is known for his teachings on Advaita Vedanta, which emphasizes the non-dual nature of reality. Janaka was a patron of philosophy and spirituality and was known for his wisdom. The dialogues between Janaka (Father of Sita) and Ashtavakra are considered to be some of the most profound and insightful discussions on the nature of reality in Hinduism. The book beautifully sheds light upon the profound bon...

 IQ: Truth or Myth Many parents over the world are very concerned about how much their child scores on IQ Tests more than how he/ she performs in the class tests. This IQ fever has caught up with most in elite schools where there is constant pressure on children to perform to not be looked down both by parents, peers, and school management. The book clarifies: What is IQ? & Why is it given such Importance?  This is a very short read. The author has not stuffed the book with unwanted information by filtering only what is essential and required. I think parents can pick this book to understand IQ and make a choice for themselves and their kids. Review by Janvi

  Book Review- Bedtime Stories Who said that bedtime stories are only for kids? I love reading them for their innocence and the creativity they come up with.  More than anything,    it gives me a special time with my kids.  The magical pot story is especially something which we liked as it shows the wit and the presence of mind of the kids and how the parents act when put in a difficult situation. The moral is never to steal. I felt it is a creative way to tell that irrespective of our circumstances, one should never dread a wrong path. We finished the 25 chapters and 88 pages book in a week. I liked this daily ritual and now I'm on the hunt for more such literature which can be read on kindle as I need to read books with the light switched off so as not to extend the bedtime beyond a limit. I wish the author releases a new book soon. Simple and creative. http://vedantparashar.com/ 

   I would like to congratulate the author Vedant for writing a book at the young age of six years. The book has 25 chapters which are divided into both short and big stories and 3 short poems. I honestly finished this book in one go on a weekend and kept pondering over several stories written by the author. One story which I kept recollecting was the story of a book boy which is the second chapter in the book. He is poor but gets a boon and because of this, he never was hungry. Though unrelated, I felt I am. lucky to get food on the table every day and felt bad for many kids who go on empty stomachs at the end of the day. Great stories. Not only magic and morals but also give food for thought. The scary poem was indeed scary and it's not only a nightmare for kids but adults too. But soon, the last poem ended on a sweet note with the little bear getting back to his Mumma and having a  good night's sleep. Creative stories to say the least. Check it out. visit: http://...

8 Things to do when you turn 20 by Debotosh Chatterjee This book was very touching right from the moment it opened with the quote that said “This book is dedicated to people who like to make it happen.” They are not born with god-gifted talents or family heritage, but are nevertheless on the quest to ‘get something done.’ This book is the appetizer for students in college and young professionals who are seeking to create a career for themselves or anyone ready to dream big and put in the effort.  The book correctly points out the teenage and early twenties financial dependence on parents.
