This book 'Pebbles'  is a beautiful anthology of poems by the author Swati Khatri . This is the first book . I have actually earlier read the second part 'Pebbles on Paper '  What I like about her poems are  ▪️First they are simple  ▪️Lucid but yet have the perfect amount of allegory which I prefer in poems. ▪️They are written in rhyme style . ▪️Heart complex affairs written in light relatable words. There are three parts in this book :  Self-love  Reflections  Some more  Wonder why the book is named Pebbles ?  According to the author :  " I think life is like the deep sea, which rests on the shore and pebbles are emotions accumulated over time."  And no doubt poems are pieces of work soaked in emotions. The self love section has poems which send message about being strong , trusting your own inner voice , owning yourself and moving forward.  Buying link :  https://amzn.to/3hXjMcS Self love is neces...

Every Frame is a Painting By the author Abhishek Ghosh  is a book that has short stories, poems and plays (stage dramas).  The genres are vivid. From political issues to comedy they touch upon different aspects of our lives. They are light read , simple and short contents. Not every play or short stories have important messages or lessons to send but for entertainment read as well.  In one play God and Devil has a conversion about their past and later it concludes into oblivion. In another play which shows how colloquial pronunciations can add up hindrances in compression in simple communication between an interviewer and few college students. It was relatable and yes at place it is giggle-worthy.  Later the section of poems is more focused on social issues like today's real face of democracy, freedom of speech and the problems faced by the explosive p...
