Book Review - The Secret

The Secret - by Rhonda Byrne.

 

This is one of the most fascinating & powerful book on positive thinking (as per my thinking).

 

To write anything about this book, I had to read twice.

 

Even afer reading twice, I am unable to say anything about it fully, whatever I am writing will be understatement only.

 

The book contains several thoughts, action plans, success stories & way of life.  The book is full of positive enegy. 

 

It preaches three steps : ASK, FEEL & RECEIVE.

 

The Secret is "Law of Attraction". 

 

Whatever you ask (you have to declare that you what this)  & you belive that it will reach to you ( you have to act as if you have already received the thing) , then  you will definitely get the desired things as it get attracted towards you because of your request & your behaviour, -

 

 may it be girlfriend, money, career, peace of mind, healthy body, status, home etc. etc. .

 

Actually, Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue in Om Shanti Om  movie sums up the teaching in most interesting way -

 

"Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho to puri kayanat usey tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai"

 

There are n' number of school of thoughts for effectiveness of book.

 

I feel that it is upto us what to get from this book.

New Tata Sky Plus Ad

Recently I have seen Tata Sky Plus Ad featuring Aamir Khan.

 

In the said ad, Aamir Khan holding damaged head lamp of car & explaining that to see a cricket match, you need not rush to your home which may cause accident.  You can record it & view it afterwards in your TATA SKY PLUS connection.  Then, he smirked and says, oh you might not having it.   So its your bad luck (that is what he trying to tell us).

 

I am surprised that such type of humilating ad is from TATA GROUP.  I am not expecting this heartless & sick mentality ad from TATA GROUP.  I am not making scapegoat of AAMIR KHAN eventhough I dont like him.  He is doing his job perfectly & irritates all the viewer.

 

Dear TATA Group, just hang on & dont stoop too low in this competitive world.

Mujhe Ghar Le Chalo – Taslima Nasreen ( Aatma Katha -5)

 

Taslima Nasreen is now well known personality, born in Bangaldesh & exiled from her country due to her writing about Islam.

 

Majhe Ghar Le Chalo is translated in Hindi by Ms. Sushil Gupta.

 

The book is about her experiences after leaving her country & her stay in Sweden.

 

She was invited by the entire world & praised by all the European countries for her courage & daring.  She has written about her stay at various countries, about the citizens of these countries, the surroundings, habits of people, good & bad things about various places. She actually takes you with her to visit various places.  The book contains many of her poems.

 

Her writing is very good & it brings out her personality as strong & straight headiness.  She is independent, strong, rebellion by nature. Her writing shows that she follows different path & is never afraid of taking side of truth or what she believes to be true or fair.

 

It is not ironical that in the ocean of people, she finds herself alone.  Actually she found herself trapped.  Basically she is hard core Bangaladeshi & soft hearted woman  & unable to align herself in foreign land.  She is desperate to return to her country & her writing shows her true love for her matrubhumi (birth place). 

 

Good to read to experience her writing & knowing various places & people,

Hindi Book - Objection Mr. Lord

Hindi Book - "Objection Mr. Lord" by Nirmala Bhuradia

The above novel is about the story of Madhavi borne & raised in joint Marvadi Family. Her father expired when she was small, due to some family problems her mother also left her. The story moves with Madhavi. Madhavi is fearless, intelligent & rebel type girl. For her, each & every situations brings out basic questions of womanhood & its problems.

The story runs parallel at different levels, lots of character comes in & fades away. Lots of things do not end at particular point. There is hardly any characterization as large number of characters are woven in the story. Madhavi remains alone eventhough she got married. She failed to find her true love.

She was destined to remain alone but finds a path & reason for living at the end.

What I observe that story narration is good but somehow lots of things are happening but nothing actually matters. Madhavi choose to remain silent at various occasions & that puzzles me. Further, the novel has tried to show other side of press (news paper) however it has not effectively come out. One more thing I am not able to correlate is the title of the novel & the story.

Good for one time reading,
