Because You Matter by Ankita Singh

 Because You Matter by Ankita Singh | Book Review


This collection of poems is not merely a collection of rhymes; rather, it is an introspective examination of the pure, unspoken, and untainted side of life. As a reader, it made me pause, reflect, and most importantly, feel. 

What distinguishes these poems is its emotional honesty. The author hasn't downplayed the agony or exaggerated the joy. Her poetry deftly covers a broad spectrum of topics, including loneliness, social expectations, self-healing, unity, and compassion. She gives voice to the emotions that many of us suppress via lyrical grace.

Some beautiful lines from the book:
🌺" The fast-paced city life
        Demands some solace and rest.
        Days when the hard work is put to test,
        And all that one does is question their self
        The lovely garden attracts by its natural vibes."

🌺" In those quieter moments
       The heart brimming with joy mutters
        Love! Why Doubt Thou?
        Yes, you are and always shall be absolutely enough."

🌺" Gaze fixed on the little one,
       Through the childcare's web cam,
       She becomes unsure whether she does the right thing
       Should she pursue her dreams."

There are no excessive metaphors or really abstract wording, and the language is approachable. Simply words, carefully selected and arranged with affection. Some poems feel like soft exhalations, while others hit like a truth you've been avoiding. The emotional rhythm is also well-considered.

I'll keep going back to this book because I want to remember how it made me feel, not because I'll forget what it stated. It's the ideal book to read on a calm evening when you just need someone to gently and genuinely remind you that you matter, perhaps while sipping chai or curled up under a warm blanket.

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...

The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. 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. How to make money might be in our control, but how money goes out of our pocket might not be, as psychology is in cohesion with marketing. Harinder Singh Pelia’s “The Psychology of Marketing” is all about how marketing creates a bond with the audience, thus tricking the audience into dwelling deep into purchasing th...
