Quote Challenge #2

I would like to thank my dear bloggers Simran Kaur , Namrata Kumari Purba Chakraborty for tagging me for 3 days quote challenge.

So its day 2 and here's the quote from one of my favorite books


"Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy." 
— 
 Anne Frank (The Diary of a Young Girl)


Race with time and situations make one to forget what one is blessed with who ends up cursing and praying god for fulfillment of wishes. This quote by Anne Frank is so close to my heart. Its so true how anne quotes to be happy concentrating on what one has around rather than being sad what isn't. The Diary of Young Girl is must read! Its more than just a diary.

Book Review : Without you


Title: Without you
Author: Preethi Venugopala
Publisher: Write India
ISBN:978-93-84180-19-5
Number of Pages: 198
Price: 150 [INR] 
Genre: Fiction/Romance



The Blurb :

When Ananya, a bubbly twenty-year-old engineering student, reaches her Grandmother's house in Sreepuram on a month long vacation, romance is the last thing on her mind. However, she meets Dr. Arjun there and falls head over heels in love.

As it often happens, the path of true love never runs smooth. Circumstances force them apart even though they were madly in love. She becomes a victim of depression. When everything fails to return her to normalcy, help arrives from an unexpected source. Will she ever find happiness again? Will time allow her heart to heal and forget Arjun? What indeed is true love?

Travel with Ananya to the picturesque Sreepuram, face the chaos of Bengaluru, and relish the warmth of magical Dubai in this heartwarming tale of love, betrayal, friendship and miracles.

My Review:

The story starts with Anu , an engineering student visiting her grandmother in a village called Sripuram. Maybe destiny had it she meets charismatic and smart Arjun who is a doctor as per his passion even though he owns great empire of multi million dollar company inherited from family. Anu's Grandmother Ammamma plays a role of cupid and brings together two souls. Ammamma's role is so heart warming that reader will definitely enjoy. But, there's a twist in tale. When Arjun Ananya love story takes uphill few misunderstanding leaves them fall. Emotional trauma leaves Ananya in kind of depression longing for Arjun while her friends Poornima , Khushi support her as best friends. Ananya returns to Bangalore concentrating more on her career along with her passion for art. Will Ananya forget Arjun? What made Arjun leave his angel Ananya? 

The author has described the tale so well that it makes one want to read what happens further. What  I really liked is each chapter starts with a quote and it makes one ponder. I fell in love with the cover of book when I saw it first time also the title. Character which i really liked is Amamma. She is simple and sweet. The story remains close to my heart. As a debut author Preethi has done commendable job as novel is really unique and stands out. If you believe in love story then "Without You " is the book to read. What are you waiting for? Go Grab the book!

My Rating : 5/5

As the name suggest "I want to " its upto you to choose what you want to do and app allows series of options from which you can choose whether to buy data pack , Order games and movies , Recharge account , record channel and view account history and balance not just of phone but also DTH account. I love to play games and watch movies and with this I can be able to buy those and also connect with people with help of internet.

Planet in Gloom



She stood staring at the trees,
While the leaves crumbled. 
Group of men came with weapons 
To bring trees down.

She stood staring at the trees,
While her mind raced back to days,
Where she watered and nurtured trees
Just like her own children.

She stood staring at the trees,
Unable to move in bewilderment.
Tears rolled down her cheeks,
 As she saw huge vehicles joined armed men.

She stood staring at the trees
Until last one was brought down
 And there were no longer any trees
                 Wondering how this could lead to development of city


She stood there pondering
Amidst so many questions.
Has greed for money tied a blindfold on their wisdom,
Insight and conscience?

Have they shunned their ears
Or have turned their
Hearts into stone?
It has closed every single door of love and kindness.

She stares at the dark sky, 
Eyes closed as her heart ached.
She was sure mother nature wont bestow mercy, 
And the planet will be doomed soon.

New League by Kapil Dev : #EkNayiLeague

Kapil Dev , on hearing this name every Indian would probably think about cricket and captain who lead team India win world cup in 1983. Now Kapil Dev is all set to bring a new trend or new type of league which seems exciting . There's only few videos on web where Kapil where he gives few celebrities how they would fail if they listen to their heart and play the league. 


As per the above hint where playing with heart might lead to failure , I think the game requires to be played with help of mind and lot of attention which might be fun to play. 

It might be new concept in India where a common man will get a chance to show off his skills and might win some cash price which could be life changing. The Legend might host the show on TV or its just some league which takes over period like month or week and at the end of period the best one wins the cash price. It can be online contest too again with same criteria of limitation of time and cash price to be won. 

The legend has joined Twitter and is new to technology and speaks about how twitter is about saying one's own feelings to world that means there could be feature where one could communicate with legend directly about the league. 


Kapil Dev in one of the video of promotion for League gives a message to Sania about how he feels proud that like in big country like India how girls are showing interest in sport and making it among top list and feels proud about Sania. This might be a hint where  Legend is telling that even women can participate in this league and make it count. 

Kapil also gives message through video to celebs like Dhoni, Yuvraj and Kapil Sharma on how this game is going to be interesting and only playing with heart wont be enough and keeps it more suspense that might want anyone who watches video to endup in thinking about what the league is about and how could this be life changing and how can it be related to celebrities and how fun it would be to play this league. 

Since legend stresses that this type of  league is #EkNayiLeague it really must be new to India and this must have been never happened in history of TV show if it is about to be launched on TV like show or if it is online contest. It gets people new exposure and that might lead them to showcase their talent to the world with this new platform or League which legend is speaking about.

I like to conclude the post by hoping this league will be a trend setter and makes it own mark just like Kapil Dev who made mark in worldcup winning the first worldcup for India. Hope this League changes so many lives and bring happiness. My best wishes to the team.
