The Royal Peacock Crown by Arushi Vats | Book review

Book review:

This book is a blend of a fantasy fiction & Indian Mythology. This uniqueness creates a curiosity to turn the pages and know more about the protagonist and how she handles her new quest.

This is the story of the protagonist Shipra, a 13-year-old who accidentally stumbles upon a mysterious book kept in a darkroom of an old library. What captivated her in picking up that book was the title "Mahabharata the land of Bharata". But soon she found herself so immersed in the book that she could not hear the bell of the door. As her mother hears the news of waterlodging in Vrindavan , she decides to move to the place the next day to her mother. And the journey begins of mother and daughter to the place. Shipra secretly put the book in her bag.

As time passed by, she realised that book she picked was completely magical as it manifested itself & physically warped into a magnanimous world full of countless new things. She dives in an illusion and her present in reality gets distorted & warps into a whole new alternate dimension of a universe. She had been given the task to unravel & unlock the hidden peocock crown & also find out what awaited her in the form of destiny.

Quote from the book that piqued my interest to read faster:

“Keep moving God’s chosen one

Neither the past matters nor the future

Here and now Experience something

Ephemeral, divine, truth, equanimity.”

The author has meticulously weaved the mythology with fantasy to make it more riveting. Narration of the storyline is so immersive and vividly done that I finished it in one go.o

Overall, the book is a captivating, gripping and adventurous read. Do grab this book if you like fantasy books.

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.

I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
