                ‘Fifteen Minutes Fifteen Seconds into the Dream Realm’ by Puneet Pundir is a story that revolves around Arya who is confused about his life and what exactly he needs to do so as to achieve a sense of fulfilment. His family is all excited about the upcoming trip to Badrinath and Kedarnath Temple but fate has something already planned for Arya and his family. The trip was going all good but while they were in Kedarnath there was an avalanche in which there was a huge loss and many people lost their life and many had severe injuries. Arya too is trying to locate his family but there is no sign of his family and finally he loses hope of finding them. Sad and after losing his hope to live without his family he sets on a journey where again he is not sure where to go and whom to share his grief with. But again life has planned something bigger for Arya and he meets many people who lead him to a path of self awareness and a new learning. To know more about Arya’s journey read ‘Fifteen Minutes Fifteen Seconds into the Dream Realm’.

My Thoughts:

                The plot is well written and the journey to Badrinath and Kedarnath are written amazingly and one will feel as if we are actually travelling to the destination. I must say the author has done detailed research about meditations and the divine ways in which Arya is enlightened towards his path to spirituality. In the middle during the avalanche I thought the plot was a bit rushed as things started taking place at a fast pace.

                The characters are well developed and I liked almost all the characters and all are relatable. Like Arya’s mom who is always concerned about her son and then Arya who is always curious about the path of spirituality. I also liked how Arya tries to follow his yoga routine even when he was struggling with the basic postures and also when he starts receiving these strange dreams and how he tries to connect the dots in reality.

                Language is simple and lucid and the narration is well done. The pace of the story is a bit too fast at places but overall it was good.

                The book cover and the title of the book are apt to the plot.

                Overall, it was a interesting read and I would surely recommend this book to people who like reading spiritual and adventurous books.

Rating: 4/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair. Her brother Karthi, is always there by her side trying to save her; and protect her from these kinds of people. However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
