Book review : Under the crescent moon

Book review :

💗 The moon is the epitome of beauty laced with simplicity. It reminds of love, of the countless poets and marooned lovers who under its glow, as it shone on, inspired them to churn out the melancholy, the desire, the adoration into the vehemence of words. Such a well written story touching hearts is this book : Under the Crescent Moon.

💗 The book mainly revolves around three characters - Maera, Vikrant and Nisha. Vikrant joined Maera's office six months ago and in these few months they went from being colleagues to friends to close friends sharing everything with each other, working together and taking the same bus home. In just two months , they both came very close and became the hot topic. While trying to protect Maera's reputation, Vikrant begins to pull away. A confused and hurt Maera finds solace in the form of Nikhil, someone she befriends while on a short vacation. Maera has affections for Vikrant as well as Nikhil, but whom does she consider just a friend, and whom does she see as her life partner?

💗 Quotes from the book that really touched me :

“Some mysteries should remain so. The more you try to unravel them, there’s a greater fear of losing yourself ”.

“You always have a choice, a choice which does not involve running away.”

💗 It was quite interesting to unravel the twists and turns under the simplicity of the crescent moon. The author has beautifully crafted the characters and done pure justice to it. The storyline is fast paced and beginner friendly. I loved reading it and would recommend this book to all.

💗 Happy Reading!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...

The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs.
