Book: The Gunpowder Prince Author: Michael Archer Published: 2018 Format I read: Kindle E-Book Pages: 145 Highlight - love reading about international wars and the hidden truths between the lines? there you go!

I am myself a lover of ambiguity in literary art and do love reading those texts which make [...]
Two Cheers for Democracy - how does this title sound to you? What it clicks in the processor of your mind? Will you retweet one title like this? Well, I will review this personal classic by E. M. Forster today. Forster is someone I admire, not for his fiction, for his writing style and his presentation skills - he presents things to his readers lucidly. So, let's dive very deep [...]
देखा तुम्हें मैंने, फिरसे... फिरसे देखा तुम्हें आज मैंने जब आके तुम सुबह-सुबह मेरे पास बैठी और भींगे बालों से टपकती वो दो-चार बूंदें छू गयी फिरसे शरीर के अंदर छुपी मेरी आत्मा को। .. देखा मैंने फिर आँखों में तुम्हारी और कोशिश की फिरसे लगातार असफलताओं के सिलसिले को तोड़ देने की - गहराईयों में तुम्हारे चक्षुओं की फिरसे डूब गया मैं पर जान न सका सीमाओं को; क्या [...]

किसी चौराहे पे किसी दोराहे पे किसी मोड़ पे कभी तो दिखो जीवन के किसी छोड़ पे और सुकून मिले मेरी तरसती आँखों को और तृष्णा मिटे इस बेरुखे मन की जो कोसता रहता है मेरे सूनेपन को, अक्सर मेरी तन्हाइयों में खोजता रहता है तुम्हारी परछाइयों को ....... ज़िद है तुम्हें पा लेने की तुम्हारे वजूद को मेरे अस्तित्व में डूबा लेने की और मिल जाने को तुमसे [...]
