Giffy and the Kingdom of Titanica by JOHN GIFTAH S | Book review

Book review:

"Giffy and the Kingdom of Titanica" is a sweet and adventurous story. It is full of strange things happening unusually. I narrated this hilarious story to my kids, who were just imagining where Giffy was.
 
The story revolves around Giffy, 13 years old, and on his way to the grocery store, a whirlwind whisks him away, and he ends up landing in the kingdom of Titanica. Titanica is the place where the life of everyone is colossal. As he lands up there, he finds himself extremely tiny from other creatures living there.
 
The kingdom was extremely beautiful, and most of the people were wearing jumpsuits, and upon it was written, "Slaves of Titanica." He peeps the palace, garden, kitchen, and many more. On his way, he spills the wine bottle sent for the King and is accidently seen by Daphie. She is muttering everywhere that she has witnessed a strange creature who spilt the wine bottle but no one trusts her.
 
Wandering here and there, he feels hungry and moves to the kitchen. But to his dismay, he eats a slight piece of turkey prepared for the king, which later caused a lot of chaos. The King imprisoned suspects. Eventually, he gets caught by Daphie, and on betraying her trust, she hands him over to his father. The king makes him her personal slave. Poor Giffy is left with performing all tasks day and night.
 
Their developing trust and warmth for each other are tried as the stakes rise. A single stumble could prompt Giffy's subjugation and Daphie's shame. Underneath her illustrious exterior lies a heart loaded with generosity and interest. Together, they investigate the realm's mysteries, including the cryptic "X" mark that embellishes each Titanican and the dull power behind the hurricane that moved Giffy to their reality. Will Giffy track down his direction back to his reality, or will destiny tie him perpetually to the place that is known for giants?
 
I liked the scene when little Giffy finds his way to the narrow pipe going from the kitchen to save his life. But as he has to evade giant rats, he drowns in a washing machine, and so on. But all these challenges are until he meets up with Daphie, the princess of Titanica, who is filled with kindness and curiosity. Giffy's nervousness of getting caught leads him to other problems, but when he is caught in a cage, he still feels safe. This moment of indirect trust was overwhelming.
 
The author has meticulously curated a short sweet story for kids that paves a deep impact on them. His blend of adventure with magic in a twirling manner is lovable.
 
Overall, this book is a fun read for all kids. Strongly suggest.

    Sounds like a mix of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Gulliver's Travels'!

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...
