Review of 'The Bluest Marble'



About Author:

Vipin Kumar is a multi-talented personality. Writing many stories and poems which remained unpublished and after these unpublished works, He published his debut novel. ‘The Bluest Marble’.

Plot: 4/5 

The plot revolves around Aditya and Ram Kumar 125. There is a connection between this two personalities and this connection introduces many characters like Jitu, Rakesh, UT, Jackey and Rajesh. This connection takes us on a ride of life of a person who is engineer but joins finance sector, to see many ups and downs in his life, which takes him to a ride which starts from Bombay, Delhi and ends to Goa.

Characters: 4.5/5

Aditya Saxena: An engineer by education and financial employee by profession. His perfect and well settled life takes ups and turns which brings reader to a question that can life be like this? 

Rakesh and Jitu: Rakesh and Jitu are friends and roommates of Aditya. These two represent the bitter reality of life and relations.

Pooja: Ex-girlfriend of Aditya, whom he loved truly but she had cheated on him.

Aditya’s parents: Typical representation of Indian parents.

Rajesh, UT and Jackey: These three psychic patients are prodigy but misfit in society. Their story brings tears to reader’s eyes and raises a question that how God can be so cruel?

There are also minor characters like Ramesh, Bade Bhaiyaa, and Dr. Banerjee who play minor but important roles in life of our hero.

Writing Style: 4/5

 ‘The Bluest Marble’ is debut novel of Vipin Kumar. Emotions are presented wonderfully. Novel has little bit abrupt start. Apart from it, novel goes wonderfully smooth and in track. Events of Aditya’s life are much seen in real life. A scholar student and much praised son of house where elder brother is totally failure, gets his first job in his role model’s office. It seems a perfect life at once but as time passes Aditya’s life takes shocking turns and it makes reader understand the realities of life. Anything about this ‘shocking turns’ will ruin reader’s enjoyment of reading novel. Loved the novel fully, just one problem is there. It ends abruptly. Details for many characters as well as hero remains unknown to reader, which left me unsatisfied. Hope for more similar great works from Vipin Kumar.

My overall rating for this work is 4/5.

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...
