Book Review - The Kiss of Life by Emraan Hashmi









Synopsis-

HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE MOST DIFFICULT MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE?
Every experience that we go through changes us and helps us grow. Known for his bold portrayals in Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi walks us through the memories that have shaped him – from being a confused teenager who dabbled in a variety of things to finding his calling and becoming the suave, smart and unorthodox actor he is today. At the heart of his story lies the most important and transformative experience of his life – the period when his son, Ayaan, was battling cancer. Honest, personal, bold and heart – warming, The Kiss of Life reveals the man behind the limitless charm of Emraan Hashmi and how he dealt with his son’s illness. This is the story of an actor and a father’ trials and triumphs.

My verdict-

I would be making an understatement if I say that this book has left me speechless. From the starting till the end, all this book has given me is Goosebumps and tears. This story tells us how to fall and rise. A four-year- old boy, who deals with a life taking disease, still manages to smile and speak out the words of wisdom is not only encouraging but heartwarming as well.

We all know Emraan Hashmi for the roles he plays on screen, but we never knew the things he was going through in his personal life while shooting for the films that we mockingly call – Flops. We, as an audience, are so used to judge a person by the performance he/she gives that we deliberately neglect the hardships that person might be facing during that period of his/her life. Same happened with Mr. Hashmi! While he was mocked to give out three flop films, he was trying hard to make his son fight the battle of cancer. Who knew, the person who was screaming and crying for the role of his film, was actually taking his frustration out – and all the director could say was EXCELLENT SHOT!

This book also has much important information about Cancer that we might not be aware of. This book spreads awareness regarding Cancer that will be useful for us. Emran has somewhere taken out his frustration on the media and journalists as well, in the book. The additional information about cancer might not please the people. The story goes offbeat, sometimes as well. But the Ayaan man has dominated every flaw of this book. And I finished this book in one go! Hats off, Mr. Hashmi! You have gained respect.
The mere imagination of losing a person sends a shiver down the body. So, nobody should take relations for granted. You never know, what happens next!

Ratings – 4.5/5

An Insight of Adhira and the journey of Aditti Gaur

Image
For the first time ever, I am going to conduct an interview on my blog. And, I am glad to introduce Aditti Gaur, today. Her much celebrated book 'Adhira' is back to lure your hearts with her kindness and self - sacrificing traits. So, let's hear about Adhira from the authoress herself.  Q. How did you come up with the idea of writing a book? A. Since childhood or you can say school days, I had a strange habit of writing fictional scenes into my daily diaries, which were inspired from the things happening around me. This strange habit followed me after my marriage also. Just the intensity of the scenes kept on changing, from childhood's immature memories to grown up's mature dramas. One fine day, my husband got one of my diaries and he read the things I wrote in that. He instantly came up with the idea of story writing. After several denies from my side I had to agree on that because he was so sure that I can do it. And that's how Adhira came ou...

Book review - Postcards from Memory by Sameer Satam

Synopsis - Every moment that passes is not coming back. Yes, there might be moments in future, like the one you just experienced. But it's not going to be the same again. The one that was, was one like itself. It cannot be replaced. It's gone... Long gone... Dissolved in this crazy tasting, highly intoxicating drink of life. In an attempt to capture these bits and pieces that keep dissolving to give their distinct flavors to this colorful cocktail, I end up scribbling on my pad. This book is a bouquet of such moments that started with my mindless scribbling and ended up in verses. Sweet, Bitter, Sour, Sublime... Each piece has a taste of its own. About the book- This book is an anthology of poems. You will find poems on every single emotion. The feelings and words are very touching and the poet has summed up every word keenly which matches with every person's emotion. You will relate to this very easily. My verdict - I loved every single poem but my personal t...
