  It's not the world she,me, him, it, they, them, her, I have known, Not the world in which you and I have grown.  Those seeds that were sown for a world of peace, Seem scattered around, And I look for them as they are nowhere to be found. In every heart beat falls all else and powerful is fear, That the next moment may bring the loss of someone dear When did this hate begin When was it alright under any pretext to shed blood or a kin How low can man go? The splatter of one woman's blood Add to another's glow? How can the pain of any human not hurt? Just because you weren't the one to give him/ her/ it/ them birth ? I look around It doesn't feel the same It's not the world I knew The one where I grew. #ambicauppal 

BOOK REVIEW  THE FAULT IN OUR STARS  The Fault in Our Stars is about sixteen year old Hazel Grace Lancaster who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, at the age of thirteen. Three years later and she is still alive, her life has been temporarily prolonged by a miracle drug, but Hazel feels dead inside and is swimming in clinical depression. She then starts attending the Cancer Support Group and meets the gorgeous, clever Augustus Waters. Lover of life, video games and objects that have a deeper metaphorical meaning. When Hazel felt this was the end of her life...it was actually just the beginning. This book was truly amazing. It produced deep emotions within me and it broke my heart then haphazardly stitched it back up and then mercilessly crushed it again. Even as I think of the beautiful characters that inhabited the story and now my heart, the tears well up. Never before has a book made me so emotional and made me want to laugh and cry and think about the true meaning of life ...

BOOK REVIEW  A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS “One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.”.   The novel is set in Afghanistan from the 1960s to the 1990s, spanning from Soviet occupation to the Taliban control, following the lives of two women in their marriages and in their war-torn country. Expecting domestic abuse, graphic war descriptions and a main theme of oppression is depicted on Afghan women. The vivid description of book took me into the Afghan valleys. Heartfelt, moving and stunningly beautiful, wonderfully portrayed the hardship of Afghani women, the essence of their friendship which turns out into a mother-daughter relation. " The writing engrossed me. Hosseini magically puts the reader inside the city, neighbourhood, and house of the characters. I found myself wanting to console Mariam and Laila, and to harshly react, abuse and kick at Rasheed myself - despicable brute. The novel is split in a du...

BOOK REVIEW THE LITTLE PRINCE                            - ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY      "It is only with the heart that once can see rightly: what is essential is invisible to the eye."      "The Little Prince" is a well crafted, beautifully written book for children, but I totally disagree on that, as its a book for all ages both children and adult. The book wont even take you a whole day to read. Consider honoring yourself where the child in you still remains within, and read it as a tribute to childhood, the innocence and to you. All it takes is a little imagination and bravery. The adversity, innocence at heart and the thirst for finding answers is what portrayed in this wisely told tale. "The Little Prince" tells the story of a pilot stranded in the desert fixing his aeroplane, until one day he meets a little boy – the Little Prince. The Little Prince tells the pilot many stories of...
