Bookshelf ......


My BOOKSHELF 








Well finally, after begging, bugging , nagging and irritating for over a period of one year :- I got my own hanging  BOOKSHELF .... It may not  be a beauty, but I love it... Though I don't have much book collection either.... so for now its satisfying.... I should be happy that my Grandpa gifted it to me ( technically second hand ).

Well it was a study table with some lockers, which  came to our house, when Grandpa made it for my elder sister ( that's how its second hand ) . After my sisters rejection to study with it, it came to me,.  Well in its earlier stage, it was decorated with candle art ( I tried to beautify it with liquid wax ).  But too my utter disappointment it was ruined,. Seven (7) years earlier when we had to transfer, it became a cupboard, where my clothes went in,. In a period of  ten years it had become old and dust to my eye....  I called it debris, often, now I feel sorry .....
  But , this bookshelf would not have come to life, if the design given by my  Elder sister was to be created.  After we moved to our new home six month back, it would have turned into dust if it was to stay on terrace for months to come.. .....   If the idea of giving rebirth had not come to my Mom's Intelligent Brain....... So now my Bookshelf is great after Plastic surgery....
 So we come to another happy ending story....  paulOaries living happily with her  Bookshelf in present.....

P.S- reality bites.....

thanking you to bear with me

    hmmm good one. Thankfully it's up there now. I wonder if PaulOaries will study the books in it from now on, or she will end up staring at the bookshelf for hours and then turn off the lights to sleep and turn it back again to reassure the bookshelf is good. lolz. good one, i liked it.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire.

Book Review: When The River Sleeps by Easterine Kire. Quote: Perhaps the answer lay not in striving but in being. In simply accepting that the loneliness would never be eliminated fully, but that one could deal with it by learning to treat it like a companion and no longer an adversary. Ville a hunter wakes up from a dream, ventures out to search for the heart-stone; that holds the power of the river that's asleep. And this stone is guarded by wailing-angry-widow-spirits. Many attempts have been made at magical realism in Indian English writing, and I didn't like them. My personal opinion is that magical realism needs a deep connection with nature, maybe never explicitly explored in the text, but the traces of that connection always shows in the words written. And I have always argued that North East India is the most fertile ground to plant the seeds of magical realism in. Easterine Kire, pens our deep connection with nature for the national readership to gawk...

Word Addict...

                Witch that resides in my heart becomes rest less every-time I loiter down the only bookshop (actually there are many,only two of them have readable books) in my Town. The witch again goes wild, when her stumbling feet walks down College Street in Kolkata. My every visit to Kolkata compels the witch to go there and I feel immense joy running down my blood vessels         I chanced upon Penguin  blogspot  about the modern methods of buying books how times have changed and how the writer feels about it... I was having personal thoughts to write about my evolution as a book addict , and the blog post  helped me to write my own..                  Being a girl I know shopping is the best therapy to distress soul, but for me book buying is the biggest therapy which irritates my family. I still remember my first visit to College S...

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen

Book Review: #Orangetoons by Shreya Sen Quote:You are anyways going to carry the baggage right? So how about caring nice things in it? Just the perfect little pocket size comics you need before you end your day and curl up under your dohar. Hilariously illustrated, gives you what was once known as pearls of wisdom and what we would call as: two penny thoughts every millennial carries in her purse. Superbly relatable if you wear glasses and have untamed hair and have a thing for boxers. I deliberately did not photograph the inside of this tiny book. But it is a good example on how to do your independent or self-publishing gig right, the size, the colour and the binding are to the point and nothing extravagant or flashy. A lesson for young creators of comics can learn from, keep it short and simple. Just get your own copy from @shreyasensagoli. I especially loved the art with the caption: Allow objects to change if you wish to preserve them!
