Review of Fluffy Feathers by Diwakar Pokhriyal







About Author: 

Diwakar Pokhriyal is a writer by passion. He has completed his engineering from NPTI, Delhi & MBA from Great Lakes Institute of Energy Management, Gurgaon. He has written 7 poetry books and been a part of 41 poetry anthologies/magazines. 

Writing Style: 3/5. 

Fluffy Feathers by Diwakar Pokhriyal is a collection of 24 short stories. Diwakar has already earned name in field of poetry and his poems are wonderful, I must say. This is the first time he has penned down his emotions in form of short story. Some of these stories are better to be titled as an essay. Some of them are good one. He has not decided particular theme for this collection. Few of them are based on social issues, on love and some are super-natural. There is a concept of sequels in novel, movies and serials. This collection is the first one as per my knowledge, in which short stories have sequels. Diwakar’s writing style is a fantastic one but his stories are kind of explanation, which bores reader at a time. I personally believe that the task of explanation should be left on part of reader as this is the task of literature. Literature is that form of Art, which is written to provide some sort of enjoyment. One who wishes to acquire meaning will acquire it on its own. Diwakar has presented his vision of society and this vision seems kind of narrative. Few of the stories like A Promise of Love, Love vs. Practicality, A Friend, A Lover’s Diary , The Sour Truth, The Mirror, Darkness of Perceptions, He was There…, Being a Girl are my favourite ones. The concept of love presented by Diwakar is a mature one and quite impressive. It touches heart. Hope to read some more great prose works from Diwakar.

 My overall rating for this work is 3/5.

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...
