Book Review: 18 Via Teen by Shreyasi Rhittika Phukon

Title: 18 Via Teen

Author: Shreyasi Rhittika Phukon

Publisher: Dream House Publications

Review:

Shreyasi Rhittika Phukon has devotedly captured the nuances of life among teenagers in eighteen of her stories compiled under the title ‘18 via teen.’ Apprehension, dilemma, aspiration and hope are major themes. Few of the stories even talk of foundation for self-esteem and refusal to be defined by stigma. She has aptly avoided cute-speak, all the while conveying genuine feeling and the deeper complexity and contradictions of life as it is lived. Her observations approach a certain kind of profundity.

Starting each story with a meaningful quote is a time tested way of catching the reader’s attention. Phukon has done justice to this practice. The sentiment behind each story is quite similar: be yourself. In the writer’s own words, the stories she has penned down enumerate the various phases of a teen and the hopes, aspirations, apprehensions, ambiguity, insecurity, dilemma, restlessness and sensitiveness, associated with each phase. Each story vividly depicts the psychological aspects of a teenage girl/boy and how the intuition helps her/his to overcome the hurdles one after another, which in teen makes her/his matured. 

There are some minor hiccups though. The cover of the book does nothing to attract potential readers. Secondly, the editing could have been better. But I won’t hold these against the author as it is her debut. We learn from our mistakes. I’m sure she’ll do the same.

I’d like to end the review with a positive note. The readers will find some good motivation from the stories if they are willing to get out the sieve.

Book Review - When I Fell In Love With Life by Geetha Paniker

Title: When I Fell In Love With Life
Author: Geetha Paniker
Pages: 234
Publisher: Partridge Publishers

About the book

An anthology of writings from a cancer survivor whose therapeutic writing will guide, inspire, and heal your soul. She lays bare all the aspects of private suffering yet points out how she overcame each challenge with grit, determination, and a healthy dose of childish delight and wonder. Profound thoughts narrated in a simple language. Her words and wonderful ability to blend with her surroundings yet stand out by absorbing the essence of it all; will challenge you to look at life through a rebel's twinkling eye. Journey with this nature-loving, soul-searching, deep-thinking powerhouse. See what it feels like to touch rock bottom and build a solid foundation for a life made on her terms. A truthful story that continues to redefine the norm and gives you a glimpse into the life of a true survivor.

Review

What does it mean to survive a life-threatening illness? Well, I’d like to quote one of my favourite singers, Kelly Clarkson, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It is what Geetha Paniker, the author of ‘When I Fell in Love with Life’ feels too. At least that is what I gathered after reading her inspiring novel. Cancer is nothing one can get through without learning a valuable life lesson. Her story eloquently demonstrates how seemingly insurmountable adversity can bring forth surprising courage and strength to those who have faced the most difficult situation in their life. This book also tells that when things go wrong courage, grit and determination matter a lot since success does not come from quitting but from the simple belief that you can get through anything if your mind is set.

Geetha Paniker has a very candid style about her writing that urges one to read on. The way she has written her experience is superbly complementary for she hasn’t just given the ugly side of her illness; rather she has romanticized the disease itself so much so that it doesn’t terrify to turn the pages. She calls her illness an "Emperor of Maladies" and at certain times mentions it as a creeping crab. There is no false sentimentality, there's no Pollyanna, no posing. Through her narration one gets to see beyond the emotional fall-out of confronting cancer. The book contains several inspiring quotes and optimism blended with a lot of positivity. Her poems also need special mention for they are profound. There is a powerful cumulative impact on the reader that lingers.

This is a fine book. I'm sure it will have special meaning for both cancer survivors and cancer victims alike. But just as importantly, for many of us who are neither of these, it also helps us better understand ourselves.

About the author

Geetha Paniker is a retired primary school teacher. She has a unique ability to find beauty around when pain rains on her and it is this pain that keeps her grounded and humane. She is a teacher at heart, but God and nature are her teachers, and she draws lessons from everything around—from the mist on the mountaintop to the dewdrop on a blade of grass. She hails from Anthikad, a village in Trichur, and lives in Chennai.

Book Review - Play Infinity by Sondra Faye

                                                                  Title: Play Infinity

Author: Sondra Faye
Pages: 70
Publisher: Winston-Derek

About the book

Sondra Faye was addicted to poetry at an early age. “Play infinity” was first published by a small press; when she was living on Waverly Place in the West Village in New York City. A couple years after publication, it was performed at the 13th Street Theatre in New York City with a few actors and Merce Cunningham Dancers and music composed by Sondra Faye.

Some poems are written about her life in both Boston, Massachusetts and Manhattan. When she lived with her schnauzer Velvet on Hemenway Street in Boston; she attended Northeastern University and worked at a bakery in Faneuil Hall Marketplace. After a year in Boston, she decided to go to New York University, and completed play infinity while there.
A multi-media artist she considers herself simply as a human being that likes to create stuff. Her intention for anyone reading this book is that they will stay inspired & play infinity. 

Review

Sondra Faye’s ‘Play Infinity’ is not just a collection of poems to be read and forgotten; her words, so simple yet profound, are to be read, cherished and re-read. Her style is a blend of candor, compassion, bravado and truth. Her approach to life is sharp and incisive. I felt her poetry peers into the deep hollows of being human and illuminates our darkest predicaments.  Some of my personal favourites are play infinity fifty-four, play infinity fifty-one, play infinity thirty-nine, play infinity thirty to name a few.

Faye’s poems are open to interpretation. Her poetry outlines a sustained meditation on all walks of life, be it the sublime or something that is inconsequential. She speaks of heartbreaks that are relatable and therein lays the poet’s credibility. She has numbered her poems instead of coming up with individual titles. It is a good thing. Much like life, abrupt and spontaneous. It also justifies the title of her collection: play infinity. But not all that she writes is good. Some poems do not make sense even when read over and over. A few do not qualify as poetry for they are just one-liners. I think we can overlook that and enjoy the rest. All in all a good read.

About the Author

American Multi-Media Artist Sondra Faye was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Her family moved to New Jersey while she was in kindergarten and at that time she began studying classical piano plus theory and composition for the next 7 years.

nalysts of India (ICFAI).

                                Author Interview

When did you first realize that you wanted to be a writer/ a storyteller?
I guess, I was in class 2 at that time. I had just written a poem and I was sure I want to explore more into writing.

What motivates you to write and where does your inspiration come from?
Life… Life inspires everyone to do something. It inspired me to write.

How did you come up with the idea for your current story?
I always wanted to write a novel. It is just that I wasn’t getting the subject that would keep me glued for as long as it takes to finish a book. And then I witnessed a few incidents in life, no not my life though. But I did see a couple of things happening around my regular life, and so I knitted them together added a little bit of my own imagination and here we are with The Bridal Pyre – NainamDahatiPawakah.

What is your writing process? Do you follow a regular routine or do you have any weird, funny, or unusual habits while writing and what are they?
This is not a job for me, I cannot keep a process for it. At times I can spend an entire night hitting the keys of my laptop, and then for days at stretch I won’t be able to write a single word. I am very impulsive. And so writing happens to me in a momentary way.

Do you ever suffer from writer’s block? If so, what do you do about it?
I haven’t written so much as yet that I would suffer from writer’s block. I still have many thoughts pilled up in my head waiting to find words into my books.

What are your current/future projects?
I do intend to write a collection of 4-5 love stories sometime. In fact that is what I had started my book writing with, but there was this dying need to pen down The Bridal Pyre – NainamDahatiPawakah first. But I will go back and complete my compilation of love stories.


Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre? If you write more than one, how do you balance them?
The Bridal Pyre – Nainam Dahati Pawakah is a feminist social drama, and I chose to write on this topic because the situation I have come across and witnessed, some in my life some in others, I couldn’t help but write it. It is a story that needs to be heard and told. I had to write it, because someone had to address the elephant in the room. For how long could we turn a deaf ear and blind eye to it? The protagonist of the book Meera is a character that is basically a compound of various real life woman I have come across in life. They choose to stay anonymous, so let them be. But their struggles are real. Meera is a woman who is from an upper middle class Bengali family where marriage is given some amplified importance. And like all mothers, Meera’s mother also advised her to adjust and be patience. But mothers need to tell their daughters when exactly they should put their foot down, because a one-sided adjustment soon takes the form of subjugation. We don’t want that to happen to our woman anymore. Again, there are so many bodies that fight for woman rights, every other day some new law is passed. But when a genuine case requires attention, no one is there to help. And these laws, lawyers, courts, police, they only add to the plight of the victim. How? You will know through the story.
I do not have another feminist story line running in my head anymore. I don’t see that happening anytime sooner.

What is the intended audience for you book?
I target mature audience. And for the record I am not saying I target ‘old’ audience when I say mature. Maturity has nothing to do with age I believe. You can be a teenager and you if have that understanding of the unforeseen challenges that life can throw at you, you are my audience. You can be some 70+ gentlemen, but if you have not learned anything from the life that you have lived so far, The Bridal Pyre – NainamDahatiPawakah is not for you.

If you had the chance to get one message out there to reach readers all over the world, what would that message be?
People, learn to love. Love with all your heart. Be possessive about your lover, it is okay. Don’t be jealous of your lover’s success or achievement or don’t be insecure. That is not okay. And yes, please pave the way for the modern Indian woman. She will make your life amazing.

What is the easiest/hardest scene for you to write, why? (Love, action, fight, death, racy, controversial, etc…)
There are a couple of them. But the most difficult scene that I wrote was Meera’s miscarriage in The Bridal Pyre – NainamDahatiPawah. More, so because the amount of emotional turmoil this character goes through along with the physical pain. This was my first work as a novelist, I am not sure if I could do justice to the situation. But I was writing this scene, and I had to stop for a while, cry, get myself a cup of coffee, and go back to completing the scene.

Were your characters based off real life people/events or did you make it all up?
The protagonist of the book Meera is a character that is basically a compound of various real life woman I have come across in life. They choose to stay anonymous, so let them be. But their struggles are real. Again, a number of negative characters are also ‘inspired’ by real life people. Then I have tried to draw the characters a lil bit here and there. I would certainly give some credit to my imagination as well.

Sneak Peak

It was indeed a beautiful twilight that Meera had lived in a long time. The sky appeared like someone scattered a box of vermillion on it. But this vermillion had nothing as scary, as haunting, as suffocating as the vermillion she has just washed off her head, the vermillion that washed down her face like a jet of blood, similar to the blood that flushed out, in between of her legs just a couple of months ago.

‘Don’t touch me anymore, Abhi. I will be sullied, I will be stained, I will be dirty…” No, she didn’t say this to a rapist. She shivered as her husband extended his arms towards her to offer help. Her fatigued body had no strength to clean itself again. She had just washed his child out of her body.

****

“How on Earth did I conceive? How did I conceive staying with an impotent bastard like you?”

She stood up. One against all. She wanted justice for the child she never saw, and the humiliation her parents faced throughout the course of the eleven months of her matrimony. But she was ambushed by all those who were supposed to rescue the ones in despair. All those in whom the women of this nation rest their trusts. The police department, the lawyers, the judges, politicians, big businessmen, media houses either waylaid her or proved utterly futile in serving justice.

“I have seen such strong men cry like babies while getting a broken bone fixed. How are you bearing with this pain so tranquilly?” asked the doctor.

“May be I am not a man, but what made you think that I am not strong?” she thought.

Book Review - A Bipolar's Journey by Vijay Nallawala

Title: A Bipolar's Journey
Author: Vijay Nallawala
Pages: 234
Price: INR 450.00
Publisher: Partridge India

Review

I’m not much of a nonfiction reader, but when Mr. Nallawala approached me for reviewing his book, ‘A Bipolar’s Journey: From Torment to Fulfillment,’ I accepted without any second thoughts simply because I wanted to know more about bipolar disorder straight from the horse’s mouth.

Vijay Nallawala has bipolar disorder, a mental condition marked by alternating periods of elation and depression, which makes normal living strenuous. His book is a Bildungsroman, a coming of age story that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood in which character change is extremely important.

‘A Bipolar’s Journey’ is the autobiography of a man who has defied all odds to emerge victorious in spite of his affliction and still continues to do so. There’s a frank openness in the writer’s voice. He confides in the reader all about his private life—every emotion, success, frustration, and humiliation— very honestly and authentically. He tells us the story of his heroic battle against adversity, prejudice, stigmas, stereotypes, of his will to succeed and his search for an identity in a country that lacks greatly in understanding the workings of the human brain. In the process of self-realization, I’d say he has become a beacon of hope for those who ride the same boat as his.

What is absolutely worth reading in this book is how the writer has explained such a complex and varied disease as bipolar in simple yet effective language. There are no medical jargon that may confuse the reader. Even someone with no prior knowledge regarding the ailment can understand fully what the writer intends to share. The language is simple and there is no attempt to resort to euphemisms. There is never a dull moment and I couldn’t wait to complete the book. I’d recommend everyone to read the book and learn something from it. 

Cons 

None

Verdict

A must read for all those combating depression and even those who are not.

Book Review - Bliss of Dark Solitude by Amitava Chaudhuri

Title: Bliss Of Dark Solitude

Author: Amitava Chaudhuri

Pages: 63

Price: INR 195.00

Publisher: Authorspress

Review

Amitava Chaudhuri’s ‘Bliss of dark Solitude’ is a well-structured collection that celebrates such emotions as joyousness, heartbreak, rebellion, remorse and loneliness through ruminative verse. The everyday and the eternal mix here. The insights into humanity that are contained in each and every poem remind the reader of the wonder tucked in every corner of life. The words and format are gentle and full of utility. It is conversational, arresting and makes you want to respond. The poems are more of a narrative style and herein rest the poet’s capacity to engage. There’s nothing extraordinary being said, yet what is said suffices. For instance, ‘In this painful lifetime it seems, / We shall meet, but only in dreams’ (Adieu); ‘I grief, I find reason / To go on living’ (I Love My Pain); ‘A thousand pious souls / Worked as my footholds’ (The Lonely Path).

The poet deals with the concept that we are scared of the dark and the darkness that solitude brings. According to him, a potent combination of these two conditions can indeed be a bliss for it gives us the opportunity to discover the most alien thing we have within us – our own heart. As we delve deep within ourselves, we find surges of emotions, sometimes dark, sometimes euphoric. He has chosen poetry to portray such emotions.

   

Cons

The poems do not stay with the reader after the book's closed. Some of the poems are self repeating.

Verdict 

Without a reader, a poem is nothing. Poetry lovers will find something to enjoy in this book though not be inspired necessarily.

About the author 

Amitava Chaudhuri is Mechanical Engineer by profession, and works for the Indian Railways. His first novel was published in 2009, and his second book – a collection of short stories was published in 2013.

Book Review : 3 @ A Time by Diptendu Sekhar Chakraborty

Title: 3 @ a Time

Author: Diptendu Sekhar Chakraborty

Pages: 192

Price: INR 140.00

Publisher: Omji Publishing House Pvt. Ltd.

Blurb

Falling in love is one of the most exquisite feelings that one can experience in their lifespan. But what if while searching for your true soul mate, you end up having that ‘exquisite feeling’ for three people at the same time?

3 @ a time is the story of Deepankar and his tryst with trust, love, relationship, betrayal and humiliation with 3 girls at the same time along with maintaining his reputation as the wonder boy of his college.

Deepankar- strong, laborious; with a never-say-die attitude while searching for true love ends up in relation with three girls from his college.

Notorious yet dedicated for his deeds at college, Deepankar seeks love from his dream girl who turns out to be homosexual!

And then destiny plays its game.

And the reason- GIRLFRIENDS

But one should never back down and nor did Deepankar; Pooja stood by him in full support.

And in the end it does matter.

Will the search for his soul mate be completed after his rendezvous with all the three girls?

Will Deepankar restore his faith in others or will life throw curve balls at him?

Will he be able to maintain his reputation or will be hailed as a wonder?

Review

‘3 @ a Time’ is quite a read. Full of fun and frolic, this story is about today’s youth; about their struggle to find the purpose of life and about friendship. A lot of elements have been woven together in a single packaging. I’m sure several readers will be able to connect with the story at different levels. Through Deepankar’s story the author has tried to tell us not to be complacent with our achievements and neither be discouraged on account of our losses.

Although the story has a lot to say, I’ve found it sluggish at times. There are too many references that fail to serve a proper purpose. The most striking element of the book is its climax. It was something not expected and has certainly helped the book to remain afloat in a sea of books.

Cons

A poorly edited book with absolutely zero proofreading. The errors are so glaring that it distracts the reader almost in every line. Even typesetting is faulty. Brings down the book’s worth all at once.

Verdict

A cover to cover read. There’s nothing extraordinary or new but it is certainly readable. Even with all its flaws it is a pretty good story.

About the author

Diptendu Sekhar Chakraborty is a published fiction author with his debut literary achievement titled “3 @ a time”. His debut novel “3 @ a time” published by Omji Publications was released on 28th February 2015. It is gathering astounding and remarkable positive reviews and rated 3.5/5 by most of the reviewers. OTTT also ranked 3rd among top 50 bestsellers on Salisonline.

It is also ranked 62nd at Amazom.in bestsellers in Indian Fiction and 84th in contemporary fiction.

Diptendu always believed in the fact that love can happen more than once in everyone’s life. However, people are too reluctant to accept such facts in reality which prompted him to bring out a story where the protagonist falls in love with 3 girls at the same time.

He has worked as an editor for his college magazine titled Vyaktitvam during his post-graduation. He loves to read fantasy, Romantic thrillers and sensual stories. Unexplored destinations excite him and he love exploring new places. He usually travels to lonely places to write and search for stories and motivations.

Next in line is a book comprising of story based romantic poems titled ‘Lonely Shadows,’ a romantic, dreamy, passionate and inspirational set of poems with fragments of tragedy and slices of betrayal perfect for everyone who has ever fallen in love.

He composes short stories too, though he is not seriously chasing that dream as of now.
