Impossible Makes Possible by Yashodhara P

Learning about personality traits is tough but not impossible. I wonder how the upbringing of a child can mould his choices and friends. It resonated more when I stumbled upon a new book by one of my favourite authors, who writes to impart deep messages of life in her short and vivid stories.

"Impossible Makes Possible” is a crime story where six friends visited Zion National Park for trekking and hiking. All of them were the students of Phoenix University. One of the friends, Christopher is found dead in the serene waters where he went with his friends for trekking. No one could figure out the reason for his sudden demise or murder.

As the investigation proceeds, the friends are cross-questioned, and the planning is figured out. I was intrigued to know how he was separated from his loved ones and why. The way the childhood memories are pondered one by one and the real reason comes upfront shocked me.

The story is related to peer relationships and real friendship. The question always is whether it is difficult to find a real friend. Here the author makes you realise that whatever happens, happens for a reason. Only God knows the real reason behind every doing.

Verse from the book that piqued me
💓 Two words with D: duty and destiny.
Nobody can judge which has entity.
Performing duty is a worldly fact.
Achieving destiny is the karma’s nest.

💔“Do not believe in words because they are hallowed by tradition. Find out the truth for yourself. Reason it out. That is realization. Feel nothing, know nothing, do nothing, have nothing, give up all to God, and say utterly, ‘Thy will be done.’ We only dream this bondage. Wake up and let it go. Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods. The only true wisdom is knowing yourself and know nothing."

The story is fast-paced and thrilling, making the reader learn many facts about the place and humans. The added poetic verses make it more enthralling.
Overall, it is a thought-provoking read.

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...
