The Kingdom of Rascals by Arunima G. | Book review

Book review :

The book embarks a journey of exploration of the human condition, with its triumphs that  evokes a range of emotions, from empathy and compassion to awe and wonder. The storyline is a complex web of intrigue and suspense, keeping readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

 Divided into 2 parts, the book is a twisted and gory tale of revenge and vigilante justice . The story follows Detective Kalindi as she finds herself entangled in a unsolvable case of disappearances and killings that defy logic and motive. Chief Commissioner of Police Apte is equally drawn to the unusual pattern of 'natural' deaths in the city, realizing that there is more to these crimes than meets the eye. As the investigation progresses, a self-righteous individual emerges, taking justice into his own hands, leading to even more unpredictable twists and turns.

As the number of killings and disappearances start piling up , a common link between these murders is discovered..As the police start closing in on the killer, they discover more startling facts that threaten to derail the entire investigation. Will the police be able to catch the killer before it's too late?

Arunima G elevates her storytelling to a powerful tool for raising awareness, fostering empathy, and inspiring positive change.  Her lucid and vivid depiction of the plot makes the storyline  a platform for social commentary to confront the flaws and injustices that exist within our own world.

Overall, the book is a compelling thriller that evokes the reader to ponder on the ongoing issues prevailing in our society and change the flaws and a better place to live in. Do grab this book for a gripping story.

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...

My journey of motherhood| Tips for mothers with ASD children

  My Journey of Motherhood: To date, I remember how I was rushed to the hospital as I was feeling uneasy and could not feel any movement inside the womb. I got hospitalized in an emergency and tests were conducted. I was on a regular checkup by the doctors every hour and after some time I was advised not to eat or drink after this hour. I was too dumb to understand the situation. In the morning, when I woke up the doctor who was handling my case came to check me and bombarded me when I mentioned that I drank a glass of water. His anger had no limits and he scolded the staff for not supervising me properly. In a fraction of a second, a decision was made. I was prepared for my c-section. But I was not mentally prepared for it, I started making lame excuses but to no avail. At last, I was taken in the OT and the process started. I was only able to hear the idle banter of doctors and nurses inside. After some time I heard the first cry of my child and I forgot all my pains. The doctor ...
