THE OATH OF THE VAYUPUTRAS: A Book Review

-

 ⭐⭐⭐

 The oath of the Vayuputras comprises the third and final book in the impeccable shiva trilogy by Amish. The previous book, The Secret of the Nagas, ends on a cliff where Shiva meets an old friend who was announced dead. All the secrets are revealed and the true evil is perceived and now it's time to destroy it, but some hindrance is faced and the story takes a turn...

           This book is a little monotonous than the previous 2 books because now the story gets crystal clear and becomes technical. The book revolves around the idea of vayuputras, a tribe left behind by the previous Mahadev; lord Rudra. The writer does a beautiful job of expressing the sceneries such that it is created in front of our eyes. But, nothing justifies the tragic end of the story where every reader remains dumbstruck. And that is why the book definitely disappointing when compared to its prequels. The book would have been wonderful if the end could have been better.

The book speaks a ton about the ethics and values of lord ram around which the entire series is based. It is a marvelous blend of mythology, philosophy, and fiction and would recommend everyone to read.❤

 🌟🌟🌟 T he latest Hotstar movie 'A Thursday ' was released on 17th February 2022 and has been a blast in the thriller genre. A simple kindergarten teacher, Naina Jaiswal holds 16 students hostage in order to fulfill some of her demands. Yami Gautam is in the lead role along with Neha Dhupia as Catherine Alvarez and Atul Kulkarni as Javed Khan. The movie fights against the Indian system, where women are raped every 16 minutes and have provided no justice for it. Naina demands to speak to the prime minister of India, as her final demand and that is when all of the suspense is revealed . Even though the movie supports a great cause, it could be said that it is seriously flawed. Some major political mistakes have been depicted and the police could have been showed more efficient. Apart from that ,the movie challenges one of the biggest issues in India and definitely should be watched by every citizen.

JAYA: A Book Review

 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ T he storyteller sage was made to sit on a deerskin. a garland of flowers was placed around his neck, a pot of water and a basket of fruits were placed before him. pleased with this hospitality, Vaisampayana began his tale of the Pandavas and the Kauravas and of all the kings who ruled the land known as Bharata. this was Jaya, later to be known as the Mahabharata.       Mahabharata, a war between dharma and adharma. the epic tale told by Vyasa and written by Ganesha. this book is simply a retelling of the great epic. inspired by both the Sanskrit and regional variants, it is firmly placed in the context of the puranic worldview. Devdutt Pattanaik, the author has not only stayed true to the story but has given the reasons justifying the story.     "who decides what justice is ? how does one end this unending spiral of revenge where everyone believes they are right and their opponent are wrong? " the book includes Vana Parva (exile in the forest),...
