Zindegi Benakab
By S. P. Bharill
A messy life signifies messed up thoughts. If we can get clarity in our thoughts then our life's path can also be straightened up. It is a blend of comprehending ourselves, the system of our society and the overall rules of our cosmos and thus life. But only thinking does not work. The learnings should be put into our actions.

This is a hindi book. A book that has four such parts which impart essential life lessons to live by. These are in forms of concoction of fiction and non-fiction that lets us learn and reminds us of the forgotten basic essence of life.
Readers who are not into self help guides or non-fictions but like to learn from fictions, this book will prove to be very effective for them too. In lucid yet thoughtful use of hindi language through out the book these stories with relevent examples teach us lessons.
The first starts with Shital who witnesses his own funeral. A lot of questions line up. The things that he actually perceives from the event let's a reader contemplate what truly is valuable in life, what's fear, being double faced, what counts after your life has ended and life's values.
Similarly the next chapters speak of what's self respect and esteem, societal status, how ego hampers our development, how character of a person is an essential thing for life, the cycle of karma, value of utilising time and the relation between detachment and eternal happiness.
Altogether I recommend it to all young minds who are willing to view life from another lens, learn and thus live life effectively.
