The Great Indian Tamasha: Adventures of a Wedding Planner by Rasika Bhatia

Book review:
Life is full of adventures. I got a chance to read one of such memoirs where the author gas experienced many tamashas or adventures in each of her wedding as a wedding planner. Mostly high society people involve wedding planners to manage the wedding and give it a unique flavour of their choice with minimum effort of their and are happily able to spend lots.

The Great Indian Tamasha weaves together emotions and adventures of planning those special wedding events in 22 short stories. Most stories are set in South Delhi, involving big bucks and high spending to show off the riches. The book is a nonfiction, memoir chronicling the life of a wedding planner. I've read many memoirs before but this is one of a kind that a person can never forget. A life full of tamasha and unique experiences blended well with dark humour and satire.

Though Wedding organizers deal with bridezillas, drunk grooms, and parent tantrums, yet at the end of the day, they deliver the work with all their hearts. The author has openly shared her witty behaviour or stubborn to not give up even when the conditions were against her. I didn't like the part where she was stabbed with a pen as the customer wasn’t impressed with the decor.

People invest their hard earned money over the functions to make it more pretty with long lasting memories. But they never stop their work for marriages of their loved ones. But pay for the time and labour to wedding planners. As a wedding organizer is investing time, labor, and talent to showcase the best for your event. The least we can do is treat them as human beings.

The author has meticulously weaved the stories in a gripping , captivating and spicy way that one who starts reading can't stop till finished. Each story depicts a life lesson that predicts the hard truths or I must harsh reality of so called high status people. The combination of the sketches and the writing, with its cinematic flair, added to the amusement beautifully.

Overall, the book is full of adventures , dreams, reality , humour , hilarious moments and life long lessons learnt. In this book, I find a fresh perspective of looking into matters when stuck. Worth 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...
