Review of "The Crossover- open heart verses"






About Author:
Sunil Sandeep is from Mysore. Sunil’s life gave him some experiences, which made him to create this poetry collection.
Writing Style: 3/5
 Whenever one has a moment of solitude and solace, one dwells into meaning of life and existence. Many scriptures can be found in various religions, describing soul’s journey during this life and afterlife. Many of the saint’s and philosophers have defined Man’s life as a journey. A quest for true meaning of life and soul. A quest for one’s real identity. In the beginning of the collection the very first poem. ‘Why’ gives the reader a short idea about the creation of this collection. The part I like the most of this poem is
‘Existence wants us to celebrate
Existence wants us to sing and dance
Like children without the barriers of knowledge’

“The Crossover” is divided in parts 1 Dreams, 2 Reality, 3 The Path. The order of the parts is also interesting one as Man lives in dreams until he faces reality due to some reason and then he starts his journey on the path, which will take to divinity.
First part of the collection is Dreams, which seems symbolising one’s ignorance and curiosity to know the unknown. One’s efforts to catch the glimpse of realty through mist and blurred visions.
Second part Reality, describes Poet’s emotions and reactions towards the realities of life, which are difficult to bear. As they are unbearable, people wishes to ignore it and live in dreams.
Third part The Path is the description of Man’s journey towards Light, the centre of existence. Part from these poems is really a touching one. The main reality of life is presented here that once man wishes to discover his existence, he has to proceed on this path alone and will have to work hard.
‘The path so light
Has to be walked alone
There are no shortcuts
And there are no maps’

Wonderful collection of poems along with sketch on other page, which highlights the theme of poem. Enjoyed each and every poem. This collection reminded me of Gitanjali of Rabindranath Tagore. A wonderful collection for those, who wishes to dive into inner side of life.
My rating for the collection is 5/5.

Review of Mother Sparsh Baby Body Wash

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...
