Stories for Odd Hearts: a short story collection by Amitt Behll | Book review

Book review:

"Stories of Odd Hearts" by Amit Behll is a collection of short stories that delve deep into the psychology of human behaviour and bring out hard-hitting facets of life. Though the author has used fictional themes to drive his points across you cannot miss the melancholy hidden in each of the stories. Though each story revolves around a certain theme of society I would like to point out the stories that deeply impacted me.

In the story, "The Boy Who Ate Pencils and Became One" the author addresses a child's need, especially when he develops wrong habits. Are children seeking attention? Do children try to hide or eat up something else?

In the story, "The Sob Story" the author brings forward the pitiful condition of whores. Do prostitutes dive in this field on their own or circumstances drew them so harshly towards this field? What is the sob story of these whores that they hide under their pretty faces?

The author showcased his unique storytelling and evocative presentation of human emotions that go unnoticed. His writing style is refreshingly different, steering clear of the typical love stories and mythological fiction that saturate the market.

Overall, "Stories for Odd Hearts" provides a rejuvenating escape, encouraging you to embrace the uniqueness of humanity. It's a heartfelt tribute to the peculiar heart within each of us. Worth reading, do grab it!

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...
