POLLY: Unmasked Series Part-1 by MOSES DONALD P | Book review


 Book review:

"Polly: Unmasked Series" is a captivating and engrossing thriller. This is a short read of 72 pages but one cannot say what will come next in each chapter. I was intrigued by the book cover but it was much more than I expected.

The story begins with a heart-wrenching scene where a person hears the cry of a child while throwing garbage in the bin. He was startled to see a child wrapped and thrown in a bin. The man sought help. Suddenly it is depicted that the person who saved the child is taking care of him and he is named Polly, The Street Wheeler.

I was deeply immersed in the story and felt the humanity in people but to my gaze, it was entirely opposite. The person who saved him was his Godfather along with his younger brother, Father Tom kept him for serving them instead. They furnished two rules for him and he was asked to work the whole day perfectly. If he failed, he was brutally punished.

Polly's life went on like this for years till he reached his teens. One day he was randomly taken in the jeep to a nearby rainforest where he was given training in hunting and driving jeep in hilly areas. Slowly he grew up as a handsome young man who only knew to obey the orders of his Father and GodFather.

It was intriguing to read about the twists and turns in his life. I was really shattered by the depiction of the inhuman nature of his so-called Fathers. He never questioned his identity, the reason for showing brutal behaviour towards him or his no indulgence with the outside world.
Will he ever get to know about the truth behind these masked faces? Will he ever seek love or his Parents?

The author has meticulously weaved the storyline in a few pages which is nail-biting and unfurling so many layers of truths. He has tried to depict the wild and inhumanity shown by some humans where as wild animals may show love and affection that is worth praise. His attempt at making a multi-layered mystery with so many masks is really appreciable.

Overall, this book is a labyrinth of so many masks that need to be unfurled one by one. The reader gets to learn from animals and nature rather than blindly trusting the people around you. I am eager to know more about Polly and whether will he be saved by the angst of his GodFather or not in the next series. I will recommend this book to all mystery book lovers.

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...
