AADUJEEVITHAM
Author:Benyamin
There is no force in this world that can defeat you if you have the patience and will to fight it. Man is an animal that is capable of a number of things, and one  among them is survival. No matter how harsh the climate is man finds a way to overcome it and to survive. 
       'AADUJEEVITHAM' by Benyamin is a malayalam novel that has excelled in all its aspects in delevering to its readers the hardships that its core character Najeeb has to face. Like any other NRI, Najeeb also dreamt of making it big in foriegn soil but the life that awaited him there was not what he dreamt of but that of a goat or literally 'aadujeevitham'.
        Far from his home and family, cut off from civilization he has to spend the rest of his life among goats. Just imagine living in a land whose people dont know your language and neither do you know theirs. From goats and camels becoming his sole companion to getting belt lashings from his arbab and no water to drink to escaping into the desert where all directions seem the same provides one of the best reading experiences.
           The human body is one of the most sophiscated machines on earth. The way it works, its endurance and its capabilities has always and will always remain a mystery to mankind.

MOTHER THERESA

MOTHER THERESA GEORGE JOSEPH SHARON BOOKS Dear friends I am Vaishnavi of class IX.   During the lock down period I happened to be with my grandparents.   Believe me, I have a great time here.   We do have a good collection of books here. Searching for a book that can interest me, this book on one of the greatest souls ever to live on Earth reached my hands. The language of the book is as simple as the life lead by the Great Soul.   It really touched me.   I have heard of the saying, “charity begins from home”. After reading this book I became very sure of the saying.   Charity actually begins from home; from oneself.   Each one of us has to hear that “inner call” and respond to it. I am looking forward to sharing another experience with another book in the days to come. Till then Bye.  Take care. Stay Home, Stay Safe.

Books are the greatest blessing

By -
It is a great pleasure to be a part of a forum that discusses books. Books have always been my best friends.

As Sir rightly pointed out in his message, books are the greatest blessing, especially in these trying times. I am happy to see that students have turned to reading. I,too, am making use of the lockdown to widen my reading experience. Apart from some bestsellers, I read two interesting books recently. 'Home" by Manju Kapur, published by Penguin, is an interesting story of the conflicts that arise in a joint family due to the changes in society. Manju Kapur had impressed me with her deep insight into the workings of the human mind in the book, 'Difficult Daughters'. This book follows the changes in a family through three generations. The sari-selling family must cope wi
