'The Man Within' by Shalabh Bahugana

Life of a misfit
The novel ‘The Man Within’ gives justice to its title as the book is all about the conversation that the author has with his inner self just like the old days when he used to get high but now the situation is different. The story starts when the author enters his room holding his report from the hospital where he was admitted since the past couple of weeks.

Major part of the story revolves around the author and his life story in very limited words. He gives the readers a chance to feel and relate to every incident mentioned in the book. Through 7 chapters he depicts 7 phases of his life; summing them all up he shows a backward journey of his from adulthood to being a child again ready to learn everything fresh and new, leaving the readers with the question: what happens next.

BlueRose Publishers Presents 'A Mistake to remember in Kolkata museum' by Md Jannatul Fardoush

Why fiction is important Everyone will agree that reading is an important component in developing a successful life. It seems almost universal that the more successful you are, the more you read. But this focus on reading is one-dimensional. People get caught up in non-fiction— self-help books, business books, books on sales and marketing, health and psychology, and relationships. These are all valid books to spend your time reading. They are filled with information that can help you better in your career and life. But it’s a mistake to leave fiction in the dust.           Fiction is a forgotten gem and untapped well of knowledge and information. It has the power that no other form of communication does—the power to insert you fully and completely in someone else’s mind. When you read fiction, you are seeing the world through a character’s eyes. Good fiction runs deep into the kingdom of psychology and philosophy. It helps you to understand people’s perspect...

BlueRose Publishers Presents ‘मत करो कलंकित मानवता’ by Ramesh Chhabra

विकास के लिए शांति जरुरी ! यह महसूस किया जा रहा है कि देश में धार्मिक कट्टरता और हिंसा बढ़ रही है जिससे पारस्परिक सौहार्द प्रभावित होता है। एक ओर प्रधानमंत्री विदेशों में भारत का सम्मान बढ़ाने का प्रयास करते दिखते हैं, दूसरी ओर उन्हीं के दल के कुछ लोग विवादास्पद बयान जारी कर घृणा बढ़ाने का काम कर देते हैं। हिंसा होती है जिसमें गौ रक्षकों द्वारा की गयी मोब लिंचिंग की घटनाएं होती हैं और भारत की ख्याति को धक्का लगता है। देश ने दंगों का दंश झेला है। हम इसे और सहन नहीं कर सकते। दुःख इस बात का है कि हमारे राजनेता सत्ता के लालच में इस तनाव को हवा देते हैं जबकि देश की तरक्की व विकास, देश में शांति बरकरार रहने से ही संभव है। जहाँ आपसी तनाव और नफरत होगी वहां आप शांति की कल्पना नहीं कर सकते और जहाँ शांति नहीं, वहां विकास नहीं हो सकता। चूँकि देश को विकास चाहिए, युवकों को रोजगार चाहिए और ऐसा समाज चाहिए जहाँ बच्चों को अच्छी शिक्षा मिले, महिलाएं भी आज़ादी से सुरक्षित रह सकें। इन सबके लिए शांति और सद्भाव जरुरी और पहली शर्त है, जिसे हम भूल रहे हैं। Shop:  Amazon ,  Flipkart ,  Shop...

BlueRose Publishers Presents 'Ankahi' by Suchi Shukla

WHO AM I? This perennial question which has haunted mankind since times immemorial has intrigued me too. Not a day passes when I do not think about it. Born and brought up in a normal middle-class Brahmin family where both my parents were Government servants, I had a plethora of experiences and exposure to all kinds of worldly knowledge. Being eldest of all the three siblings, I was to be mature and responsible even when I was a child myself. What it means to have a mother who is a teacher is an experience beyond words. The basic and forever loathed emotions of discipline, accountability and integrity flow and blow around you and you have no way out but to breathe them – sink in them. Not only that if you have a father who is morally upright even though he is a Central Government employee – you had it all. You grow up amongst people who are indifferent to their work and those who slog their way out behind piles and piles of work (courtesy indifferent people). One such man was my fat...
