I wish to be a Loner

With this quarantine period going on, boredom has somewhere created dramatic effects in my life. I shared this with my friend and she suggested me to read the book entitled 'We are proud to be Loners'. I bought the kindle edition of the same, from Amazon and started reading it.

While reading, I realized that the word 'Lonely' has often been misunderstood by our society and it's just because we are so quick to judge a person by his behavior. It is not necessary that if a person is alone, he/she might be unhappy, depressed or discontent.

Being a loner make you love your own company and become your own best friend. You start looking inside yourself and discovering your points of strength and weakness, which is very important.

According to me, being alone is just another 'quality' which everyone can not hold. In reality, Loners carries such outstanding features that others would crave for them.

This book highlights various kinds of positive personality traits of a Loner through 14 different chapters.Each chapter has a unique trait which tells you what kind of a personality loners holds up and how. I am so amazed at how the author has described each aspect in detail

The language and narration used by the author are very easy to comprehend.

The best part is that at the end of each chapter, 'A piece of advice' has been given for loners which is very beneficial even for a non-loner or I should say, for any individual out there. 

The cover of the book gives an impulsive message that the sun is also alone, but it still shines and so can loners. Also, the title of the book, We Are Proud To be Loners is very fitting.

As mentioned in the book, the author's purpose behind scripting these traits was to change the misconception which people have in their mind, for 'Loners' and I guess it was accomplished with the content of this book.

Grateful to the author, Sir Rudra Prasad De for scripting such an amazing book.which taught me how you can understand a person through his behavior.

I guess this is the best choice I made during this quarantine period.

I would say that this is a must-read book, which is full of morale and motivational stuff. Keeping this in mind, I am giving it 5 stars.

An Influential Spiritual Book

The other day I was searching for some spiritual books on Amazon and found this Qiyasi 'Kash-Ma-Kash', written by M.M Khan.  Renowned Indian author and journalist, Kushwant Singh has recommended this piece of work which became a major reason for me to select this book instead of any other.    

'Qiyasi' is an Urdu word which means 'Discussion' and Kash-Ma-Kash means, 'Dilemma' and hence, Qiyasi Kash-Ma-Kash is a collection of 50 poems where the author has discussed the Dilemma of Life.  

The Author has beautifully penned down these poems which depict different phases of life, the ups, and downs, the challenges which we encounter, the environment where we live, our relations with society and so many things which we face in our day to day life. 

Quoting some of my favorite lines from this book:

"Muqeed hai Mera dil ba faiz-e-rafeeq-e-Jaan

Beqarari -e-dil ko bhala Kaise karoon bayaan"

The best part of the book is that all these poems have been given in three distinctive languages, i.e, Hindi, Urdu and Roman English which makes it accessible for everyone to read it.  

To make it easy to understand, the author has also given the meaning of each word, just below the poem. This helped me in learning some Urdu words, their meaning, and their depth. 

I just loved this wonderful creation by M.M Khan and would like to give this book, 5 starts.  

Of course, I would suggest people out there to give this book a try. You will love it as it might change your perception towards life.
