  Day 3 of reading Saptarshis - The Original Seekers and Scientists by @storyteller_ramesh I was curious to explore what Rudra will do after knowing the wrath of the people of that village and their strong misunderstanding related to Lord Shiva. In the third chapter, Rudra is put to village jail for not offending anything but only having strong faith in Lord Shiva. He was barred by the village mukhiya to be kept in jail for six months and served as a serving to their beliefs on some festival. This limit of anger was heart wrenching, but I was somewhat sure that there are some more secrets that are yet to be unfurled. I knew Rudra couldn't die. But how? Will check out in the next chapter. @storyteller_ramesh @bookbasket_publishers @vibe_with_books

  Day 2 of reading Saptarshis - The Original Seekers and Scientists by @storyteller_ramesh I was eagerly waiting for what lay in the deep heart of Vikram that he always tried to save Rudra from worshipping Lord Shiva. On Rakshabandhan, when I read this chapter, it gave me the touch of Lord Shiva, as if he were bestowing his blessing on me. The immense love and faith of Rudra for Lord Shiva made his stand unfaltering against the wrath of his father. But there was a deep secret that lied hidden.

 Today I sat and eagerly awaited a phone call from my first friend , who wished to be with me in all my odd times and supported me too. She is none other than my little sister, who is busy preparing for her marriage ceremonies. I was five when she was born. I still remember sitting outside the OT room where my mom went, saying she would be just back in a moment. Somewhere I knew that she was in pain, but I was happy that my friend in crime or my partner was about to come. I was much happier than anyone else when the doctor introduced me to the little angel, my dearest sister, Prerna .

  Book: Take No. 2020 Author: Puneet Sikka Publisher: Penguin Random House Pvt. Ltd. Genre: Fiction Rating: 5/5 Book review: The pandemic hit the whole world in one way or another. After reading so many books on COVID-19, memoirs or stories covering a certain group of people, I was curious to know how the film industry, television stars, and people who are related were affected by this.
