Review of A Long Journey





“A Long Journey” by Pawankumar Pandey is a novella, which revolves around the disaster of Kedarnath floods. It starts with description of the main character, whose main intention is trading, not a pilgrimage. With the progress in novel, disaster occurs and it continues with its aftereffects. Though author has tried his best, he lacks at some juncture in novel, He does not seem concentrating on one theme of the novel, which seems little bit disappointing. Title does not justify the theme of novel, as the characters do not seem to have any lesson learnt from their life, as apart from one or two crisis of their life they seem to be accepting life as it is. Theme also keeps changing, as writer has not concentrated on one particular theme, he could make it perfect by expanding the characters and theme more vividly. He seemed to finish it as soon as possible. As soon as the reader starts feeling the character’s pain, the novella ends. The basic concept of novella is not fulfilled here as there isn’t any kind of development in characters and emotions. Pawankumar has tried his best and in future he may produce more prolific works.

Image
Hey beautiful ladies out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to my darling Jisha I rarely get time to review products. But I must say with her arrival in my life I have also got an opportunity to review baby products. Being new mommy I was curious about using chemical laden products on my tiny angel. So I searched a bit about Ayurvedic baby products. As I searched a bit , came across many brands but a brand named Mother Sparsh grabbed my attention.  I got whole kit of Mother Sparsh's all products. The kit in which I got all the products is quite spacious and bigger one. Every time I travel, I use same kit to carry my baby's medicines and other toiletries.  Now let's come to the product which I will be reviewing today. It's Mother Sparsh baby body wash.  Key ingredients:  All ayurvedic Ingredients like Aloe vera leaves, Neem bark, Holy basil leaves, Olive oil, Turmeric,   Product claims:  It claims to clean the skin, retains moisture ...

She is Mardaani

मैं हूँ वो तोहफा ईश्वर का, जो जन्मा एक हड्डी के टुकड़े से. मैं हूँ वो ठंडी सी हवा, जो आँधी भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो छोटा सा ज़रना, जो बाढ़ भी बन सकता हे, मैं हूँ वो हलकी सी बौछार, जो अतिवृष्टि भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो बिखरने वाली लहर, जो सुनामी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो अबला नारी, जो जरुरत पड़ने पे मर्दानी भी बन सकती हे. From the moment God decided to create Eve from rib of Adam, He gave a kind of authority to Man , to rule and mistreat Woman. From the primitive age Woman is considered as the  weaker sex and always considered as a “Creature created by God to entertain, to serve, to please Man.” These few words represent the mentality of Man for Woman and throws light on the ‘dark corners of the stage, where woman cries, when away from stage’, applies extra make up to hide the wounds and to be called a fashionable Diva. Everything has got certain limitations in this world and whenever this limitation is crossed the unexpected happens. Same is the case with Wo...

Holi skincare tips with Cocodew Cold pressed Coconut Oil

Image
Ask me which festival is my favourite and I will choose Holi over any festival. Colourful faces beaming with joy is everything to me.  After arrival of Jisha I took break from Holi for 2 years because of my fear of harmful chemicals affecting her delicate skin.  She loves Holi but I made her play with water and she would ask why can't we play with colours. So after bit of research and tricks last year I discovered one trick that would let us play Holi without fear of damaging our skin or hair. To play Holi without getting affected by harmful chemicals You need 2 things.  1. Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil. 2. Good Sunscreen Lotion. Market is flooded with various brands claiming to sell Cold pressed coconut oil but very few actually stand by their claim. Recently I got this Cold pressed coconut oil from brand named Cocodew.  Decided to use this for Jishu's skin and loved the way it made her skin softer and shinier. I have made it our routine to...
