Review of "Mool Mantra"

Book: Mool Mantra The Spiritual Path To God
By: Paul Kalra


Mool Mantra - The Mūl Mantar is the opening verse of the Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib. It consists of twelve words which are almost known by all but understood by few. The author begins the book with these golden words and the indepth meaning of each word.
I being from a Sindhi family, who follow the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji found it to be a major readon to choose this book to read.

Having read the first chapter I realized that this is what one needs to read. We all must have heard about One God but do we actually know how he is or why do we  and many more questions.

The concept of reality and God is very well explained by the author. I would say this is the first book in which I loved each and every line and each and every chapter because of the pathit showed me. 

The book is based on the superior of all, The God. 
How can one find him? 
How can one change to attain peace? 
How one needs to identify the path that leads to God? 
All of these questions have just one answer that is this book, Mool Mantra.


I would like to share a line from the book that touched me.

Books have been written, but God cannot be written.

I haven't heard a better truth than this. We believe in books but all we need to do is to believe in the Almighty. 

Guru Nanak's teachings are a way to beautiful life. I believe spiritual life is what one needs rather than a fake materialistic life. 

At last I would like to thank the author for such an amazing book. It changed my way of thinking about God and Life. 

Talking about the book, the length was enough to keep you engaged and love it. I took a little more time reading it as I was able to relate my life and think about it. Each and every chapter has it's own uniqueness. 

Overall it was the best read ever.

Would highly recommend this book to my loved ones and my readers!!!

Review of "Fate or Destiny" By Arthy SL

Book: Fate or Destiny : Let the game begin
By: Arthy SL


Kavin, a tourist guide from Port Blair, Andaman, resides with his brother, Kiran. His obnoxious 
past leaves a deep scar leading to PTSD with Parasomnia and Aquaphobia. Though his days remain gloomy, he explores a whole new dimension at night due to his Parasomnia. A mysterious goat drives his fantasy world, steering him towards his destiny.

While he tussles to recover from his past, he encounters four girls who flip over his life. Someone who has only endured brutal tyranny witnesses the bright side of humanity. The frozen emotions of a 23-year-old pessimistic, introverted boy come to life only to fail his one desire due to his lack of empathy. 

Kavin yearns for a second chance to mend his mistakes. But is it plausible? Will an altered past lead to a different future? Fate or Destiny? Let us read through the story to untangle the knots.

Fate or Destiny as the name suggests the story deals with philosophical theme, mental health and memories. The story is set in Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the depiction of the set and the plot by the budding author makes it enjoyable to read. 
As per being new to the writing world the author has made great efforts to keep the writing style as per standards and to not run with the plot and leave it's pace. Each and every part was very well explained with the words that express emotions effectively.
I considerd it more of a rom-com novel as the descriptions were adding a funny element and the romance story was made amazing. The author tried to develop strong characters but somewhere it felt that this part needs some reworking.
The story is more of conversation. And the best part was that every chapter ends with a crossword puzzle which is related to the chapter. 
Apart from that I enjoyed readng it and felt it was worth my time.
Will surely suggest it to my readers.
