Chutney by Suvarna Date | Book review


 Book review:

"Chutney" is an adorable story for kid's that resonates with the mystery and mischievous element of kids. It provokes the kids to use their cognitive and imagination to think about this yummy chutney.

In this book, I read the story of Deenu and Gita who visit to Geeta's parental house in Igatpuri for Diwali celebration. They were warmly welcomed by the family and served delicious food along with sweet and sour chutney. 

I was intrigued to read about this special chutney and how the events started with the desire of eating this chutney. It takes the reader on a journey of urge to eat chutney by Deenu and how he gets rolled up in a mess that leads to hilarious and insightful circumstances.  I enjoyed reading this book.

The best part of this book is the beautiful depiction of pictures narrating the story that makes the story crystal clear. The vivid depiction of each line helps the small kids to understand and visualize the story in their minds as well.

The author has meticulously narrated the varied elements of the story making introduction of new words and selection of colours of items is really praise worthy. I liked the use of font size, colour combination and use of high quality paper for kids to touch and feel the paper quality repeatedly. 

Overall, my attempt to gift my kids a beautiful and mesmerizing story book was satisfying. My kids loved the story and were arguing to repeat the story on a daily basis. I will highly recommend this book to all kids aged 5-8years. Do grab it!

Purchase: Chutney

 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. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales.
