Book Review: The Chemical Drones

The true mark of an artist is when he creates the characters and the characters assume the identity of their own slipping through the hands of the author, the creator. This becomes more of a challenge when the characters are children or the opposite gender. But the authors, Pankaj Kumar Saxena and Preeta Chandran have done this feat in their entertaining book, “The Chemical Drones” where they create the characters of young school going children who are not wooden and predictable rather dynamic and round characters.

They have all characteristics of children of being naughty, playful and enjoying their school life. That leads to the events that are described in the book. The book may be a short read but the pictures and the text font used by the authors are enough to make “The Chemical Drones” a fun book for children. Since school and its events form the background, it becomes easily relatable for the children. Adults can also read the book and relive their days when they used to go to school and perhpas be as naughty as the kids depicted in the book.

Book Review: Winter Poems

Sabarna Roy is one of the few contemporary writers who has experimented in his writing and his genres at length in a very short time. He has tried his hand at drama (Abyss) and prose (Frosted Glass) and shows the calibre of poetry writing in his “Winter Poems”. As simple as the title is, the poems are clearly written in a time when the poet was in a relaxed state of mind and could easily look at his inspirations and write what he felt in a vivid manner.

He begins with a statement by Camus which clearly shows how well read he is. Although his writing in “Winter Poems” has a different kind of serenity and peace where the poet sometimes becomes an observer or sometimes questions things. He writes in a calm state of mind and takes the readers with him on his journey and makes sure they become an equal part of his ideas and thoughts. He does not give names to his poems and leaves them to the choice of the readers. This kind of creates an effect where the readers are more engrossed in deciphering and trying to understand the state of mind of the poet. 

All this altogether makes the work exceptional and eligible to be a part of the canon of modern day literary writing. The words that Roy uses in “Winter Poems” may be simple but the intricacy is noticeable in the thought that he has and the ideas he wants to convey. All the lovers of poetry and fans of Roy’s work should read “Winter Poems” and see the poetic potential that the author exhibits

Book Review: Rhythm Roger

Science fiction is a genre that remains open to experimentation and innovation at the same time. The only difference maker is the vision of the authors, their imagination and their expression through words.

Book Review: Thoughts Alight Poetry

Poetry is the genre that gives words to not only the emotions of the poet but also opens the words written by him/her to the readers for more than one meaning and also an attempt to understand the mind of the poet through those words. Elmrabti Kawtar in her volume, “Thoughts Alight Poetry: A Doorway to a Secret Garden” welcomes the readers on such a journey and the readers become equal partners in feeling all that the poet writes in the four sections of love, hope, self and meditation thoughts in her collection of poetry.

With finely written poems, the poet touches the heart of the reader closely and the readers feel a sense of peace and serenity on reading the poems.

The poet appropriately quotes Samuel Johnson in the beginning,

“‘The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.’”

The poetry clearly meets the words written in the statement and every now and then, Kawtar shows the influence of the romantics in the writing.

Book Review: Endurer

In earlier times, patriarchy viewed women as creatures who needed to be tamed, controlled and domesticated. After the waves of feminism, the situations changed and women were free to follow their will. Yet, patriarchy remains adamat on controlling women and for that the best way they can think of is to dishonor a woman. This is what Kapil Raj brings to light in his national best seller, “Endurer: A Rape Story”.

Book Review: A tryst with neurologist Dr. Navneet Kumar

Medical profession is regarded as the most noble profession and medical practitioners are considered next to God for their ability to perform miracles when people lose hope. It is more of a selfless profession and most respected everywhere.  “A tryst with a neurologist Dr. Navneet Kumar” by Dr. Dewakar Goel is about the renowned neurologist Dr. Navneet Kumar and how he became the person he is today. The author explains in the preface,

“This book, “Dr. Navneet Kumar — A tryst with a 

neurologist” takes us into the depths of his 

personality, his camaraderie with books, his 

magnanimity as the head of the institution, his 

accomplishments and his fondness for his students.”

The readers may mistake the book to be merely about the life of a doctor and how he has selflessly served mankind but the author clarifies this in the preface when he writes,

“It is an insight to the unexplored world of 

neurology, that doesn’t only open doors to 

simplification of the countless complexities of A 

human mind, but also the importance of Human 

Touch, the exceptional role of someone we call a 

Doctor in treating humans better.”

This clearly indicates that the ideas the book covers are very wide, and there are a range of thoughts woven together in the book.

The book which is divided into 11 chapters begins with the description about the life of the philanthropist, Dr. B.C. Roy. The author describes the life of the eminent doctor and says that he would be a role model for times to come. This is proven true viewing the influence he cast on the life of Dr. Kumar. The author writes,

“Medical fraternity, across the country and 

beyond, acknowledge him as an epitome of 

chivalrous service in medical fields and look up to 

him as an encouragement to achieve the highest order of determination and devotion to their medical 

inclinations.”

Later he talks about the life of Dr. Kumar from childhood to how he was inspired to become a part of the medical profession despite unfavorable circumstances. On reading about his life, the reader gets to know that if one person want to do something, there is nothing that can stop him from achieving his goals. The objective of the author may not be to inspire the readers, but at some level the readers are both in awe of Dr. Kumar and also inspired by his life. 

As the book progresses further, the readers get to know about the professional achievements of Dr. Kumar and how he tirelessly worked day in and day out to make things happen, and make a difference in not just his life but the lives of many others too. The book features a lot of pictures with eminent personalities and newspaper cuttings to highlight the achievements of Dr. Kumar and the exceptional life he has. Throughout his career he not only worked professionally but also published books and worked for the cause of students, and the problems they go through. Apart from this, he has also been a part of many seminars and workshops to raise awareness among people and enrich their knowledge.

In the later part of the book, there is a discussion about various diseases related to the brain which includes Epilepsy, Stroke, Parkinson’s, Migraine etc and what measures should be taken if one of them happens to strike. This is like a guide to the readers as mostly people are unaware of what needs to be done until they reach medical help. Being aware and knowledgeable about things are not wrong at all. When that knowledge can come into use, no one knows. Hence, the book also becomes important from the point of view of acquiring knowledge. 

In the final part of the book there is a mention of Dr. Bates who is also a neurologist in the UK. The fact of belonging to the same profession and similar nature connected Dr. Kumar and Dr. Bates very closely and their association continues.

The readers may or may not belong to the medical profession but this book serves as a guiding light for everyone to become a better human being by performing their services to mankind in whatever manner they can. There are less people whose lives can be cited as examples for the other generations to follow. This makes the book a more important read for every reader to understand how good deeds can still be done in the present time. 

The author takes pains to make sure that the language is close to the understanding of the reader and tries to avoid the medical jargon as far as he can. Every reader of fiction or non-fiction should read this book so that they know that in this world of selfishness and cruelty, humanity still prevails.

Book Review: Religiously Stupid

In the swift moving life of the city, people tend to focus on their career, their work and achieving their dreams. In this rat race, they forget to pay attention to themselves and the needs of their body. Many contemporary writers have focussed on this theme and concept in their works and try to predict the mental state of a person who is a part of this life. The combined result of this is the psychological and physical problems that the person faces.

He mentions in the preface,

“Every other person has gone through a rough phase of anxiety and depression, where it first seems unimaginable to get out of it, but then it overcomes the challenges and gets back on the offensive side.”

He also tells that not everyone emerges victorious and some even lose thier lives in this battle. The validity of these facts can neither be overlooked nor undermined as there is enough statistics on a yearly basis to confirm this. He goes on to talk about people and their faith in religion and how this faith and religion become the last hope for almost all to come out of the mess they are in. With his first hand account and first person narration, the author involves the reader in the progress that he makes and the reader starts personally noticing the details the author tells like he would actually be present with him.

In  the divison of 7 chapters, the author draws references from history, epics, astrology, mytholgy, the law of karma and its impacts and historical places to elaborate his point. He shows the progress and development of the protagonist as these 7 chapters unfold. This also gives an introduction to his being well read and fairly knowledgeable. from the beginning, the author makes sure that the readers get involved in the text and the events that happen and as the book matures further, they also grow with the book to develop an understanding of the unknown.

The author keeps swinging the narrative between the present story and the mythological narrative. In this manner he not only involves the readers in the life of the protagonist but also tells them the stories of Indian mythology and how they came into existence. This also highlights how well he has researched through and written about everything. The style of his narration is also a remarkable factor. Since stories are something that appeal to all, the way they are narrated matters and the author does complete justice to that. Also, the way the author has written the fictional text and yet given it a very strong realistic portrayal is commendable and appreciable. His potential to try his hand in other genres of fiction is visible throuighout the book.

The book may be concentrating on the basic idea of astrology, its usage and its influence but still “Religiously Stupid” can be read by readers of all genres and all backgrounds. Even in his fictional work, the auhtor has created a blend of mythology and science together. He says in the preface,

“While astrology reflects the stupidity of a proponent, some of the predictions do actually suit the situations you are facing.”

He does that effortlessly and artistically. The younger readers can get to know and develop an understanding of Indian mythology and the science of astrology while the elders can use it in their lives to make their lives better and work in a more productive manner. 

Since the idea of stars, planets, their positions etc may appear to be confusing to some readers, the author takes care and makes sure that the language remains close to the understanding of every category of reader. He clears the air in the preface by saying,

“if you want to assume that planets and stars make an impact on the way of your very thoughts, there are more to it than you can ever imagine.”

Since the subject of the book is quite universal in nature, reader of any age can read “Religiously Stupid” and learn the things which are generally not taught anywhere by anyone in the modern eductaion system and astrology as an ancient science must be learnt and preserved as Indian heritage. 

“Religiously Stupid” is one book that everyone, reader or non reader should read to have a thorough understanding of how life operates under the influences of stars and planets. Generally, it is the unknown that humans fear. By this, they will be understand how their actions can affect them in the long run or even the consequences of their past actions.
