 A Family Man by Chaitali Hatiskar | Book Review

A Family Man by Chaitali Hatiskar

''A Family Man'' by Chaitali Hatiskar eloquently conveys the natural and dynamic essence of life and the relationships that arise. They come without warning, cause chaos and unscheduled detours, and gradually shape us into someone we never would have imagined.

The story revolves around Anini Mathur, Zoram Rathore and Reva. Zoram, a spoilt brat, turns responsible on adopting Reva. He appoints a nanny, Anini, who helps him handle this tricky situation and the burden of the baby with care.

The blame and the differences in their opinion and attitude are vividly depicted. It is intriguing to read about how this adoption leads them closer and binds them together, facing each challenge and making a real family.

A few lines from the book that piqued me:

🌸 “Everyone talks a big game. You, however, walked it. Good job, my lad!”

🌸 “Your mother cries herself to sleep. Do you even care? Or is it easier to hide behind Anini’s clever schemes and pretend everything is fine?”

🌸 “You’ve ruined everyone’s lives. Disappointment doesn’t even begin to cover what you are.”

🌸 “For what it’s worth, no matter how much of a mess they may make, parents always come around for their children. It might take time, but it happens.”

I liked the scene when Anini didn't like any of the photos of Reva and Zarom, and this irritated him a lot. Here an idea struck her, and she planned to take the photoshoot at a beach. All three of them dressed in casuals move to the beach. This little effort made by her fills Reva with joy and excitement. The invisible bond between three of them is formed without their knowledge. 

The author created a powerful and realistic story that effortlessly captivates the audience by fusing comedy with heartbreak and anguish. The detailed depiction of the various aspects of a romantic comedy gives the narrative a distinct flavour. As the audience explores the happy moments of love and happiness, they will feel elated and delighted.

I find it amusing that the book's attractive cover drew me in and made me want to read the entire thing at once. Slow-burning relationships, made-up truths, emotional closeness, and the tumultuous process of discovering one's actual self are all interwoven throughout the book, which is authentically endearing.

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...
