Jaya, an illustrated retelling of the Mahabharata

Name- Jaya, an illustrated retelling of the Mahabharata

Author- Devdutt Pattanaik
Are you telling me to read Mahabharata again?
I have read it lyk years ago during my school days.. why do you want me to read it?

These were the questions that popped up in my mind when i saw @mostlysane recommend this book.
But thank god i listened to her and i read it...
This book is not just about The Epic Mahabharata, it actually tells you so many amazing, wonderful and unknown stories with evidences in this book.

I have heard lot many stories from Mahabharata, read it by myself, and during lockdown watched it along with my family too. But what this book contains is something very different.

Book starts with the stories of the ancestors, saints and so many different things. I had not heard about those stories untill i read this book.

Its actually a great recommendation for those who love to read mythological books. If you are someone like me then you'll love it too.
Thank you @devduttmyth for writing this book. Its amazing ☺️

'JANE THE VIRGIN'

An American romantic comedy- drama which is available on Netflix. I started watching this randomly and started getting hooked to the story and watched episodes after episodes and managed to finish all the seasons within a month. I'll first talk about the things i loved about this show. 1. The actors have played an amazing role and as a viewer i could totally get attached to the role and could feel what they felt. Their acting was on point. 2. The story is really new to me and i started loving it from the beginning only. 3. The way they have shown the relationship and the drama that we see in relations is good. 4. The direction was amazing. Every scene is performed so well and it eventually adds up to the show. Now let's talk about the things i disliked about this show. ( They are more than the liked ones😌) 1. As much i have loved the acting and actors, i still feel that some of the characters were not added to the story and could have kept it a nice, short and sweet. 2. I fe...

Based on Jenny Han’s books.

Have you ever written a letter to someone? A love letter may be? If you have, can you imagine if all those letters just got delivered to the person to whom you had written it? Kind of bummed about it right? Something like this happens to Lara Jean in this movie. To all the boys I have loved before, To all the boys: - P.S. I still love you and To all the boys: - always and forever , these are the three parts of the movie and it’s based on books written by Jenny Han. The story revolves around the life of Lara Jean and all the people related to her. Lana Condor plays the role of Lara Jean in the movie. The movie is a light hearted romance of high school students which starts in the 1 st part and ends in the 3 rd . Personally, if you ask me, I loved the movie and the story plot. It keeps your mind and heart in a happy place. Though it’s a love story, it’s not boring. It keeps you tied till the end and also makes you want to watch the other parts. I finished all the th...

नको हा कोरोना

च्यायला ! या कोरोनाने जीण मुश्किल करून टाकलंय राव. एक काळ होता जेव्हा सगळे जण एकत्र भेटून फिरायला जायचे, भेटायचे, दंगा- मस्ती करायचे आणि आता माणूस समोर आला की धडकीच भरते. पहिला विचार मनात हा येतो की याला कोरोना तर नसेल ना 😥. आपली प्रिय माणसं सुद्धा भेटली ना तरीही आनंद व्हायच्या आधी टेंशन पहिल येत. पूर्वी लोकांना एकांत हवा असायचा आणि आता तोच नकोसा झालाय. माणसांमधलं संभाषणच संपलयं. मित्रांना फोन केला तर पूर्वी लाख किस्से ऐकायला मिळायचे, चार नवीन शिव्या ऐकू यायच्या, नवीन किस्से रचले जायचे, विनोद व्हायचे आणि आता या सगळ्याची जागा शांततेने घेतली आहे. आता मित्रांशी फोनवर बोलताना silence जास्त आणि किस्से कमी असतात. माणसांना जगण्यासाठी माणसांच्या असण्याची गरज किती असते ही याच कोरोनाने दाखवलं. यात सगळच काही वाईट झालं असं म्हणणार नाही मी, पण कुठेतरी हे आता थांबायला हवं हीच इच्छा. हे 'new normal' च फेड आलंय ना ते नकोस झालंय. हल्ली पोटात बा...
