Review: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

An average book, with sci-fi comedy, I would suggest to go for star wars series, if you are looking for Sci-fi comedy, it is far better than this one and plus it has all the dramas. Though there are some lines which actually make this book a good book.

"Bypasses are devices which allow some people to drive from point A to point B very fast whilst
other people dash from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point
directly in between, are often given to wonder what’s so great about point A that so many people
of point B are so keen to get there, and what’s so great about point B that so many people of
point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out
where the hell they wanted to be."

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools."

"Would it save you a lot of time if I just gave up and went mad now?"

A journey called "Life"

Life is strange for strange people, life is happiness for the people with hearts filled with lots of love. Life is hell for those people who live inside a vicious circle, a circle where you can see all types of negativity, their perception can hurt people, can break relationships, these type of people only attract negativity, these people can turn gold into worthless sand. Are they right? No the question is not about if they are right or wrong but it is about why? Every vicious circle has a way out, that way out is our will power. Will power can make achieve anything and it depends how hard you want something and for what. If you look above in the sky and see the shining beautiful moon and want to touch it, I mean if you really really want to touch then you probably can become an astronaut. If you have any kind of negative feelings like jealousy, anger, hatred then you will attract the same from others. It is a simple rule,

"Give and take"

. There is a famous saying "Magic happens but outside our comfort zone". When I say magic it does not mean disappearing things in thin air and fooling people. They just use a little bit of science and some psychological facts and some low IQ people keep on wondering their whole life about the existence of magic. Everything in this universe is magic until and unless you understand it and when you completely understand it, it becomes science. So life is not as tough as it seems, it is up to us how we want it to be. We just need to understand life and rest is spontaneous. Only the path is different with different hurdles but the destiny is same for each and everyone. So stop worrying about the past, stop worrying about the future, stop thinking what will happen, take your backpack and start heading towards your destiny no matter how many thorns are there in your path. The day you will reach the destiny you will say these three magical words

"It's worth it"

A feeling called "LOVE"

True love is not what it seems and not what I have seen from other peoples' perception. You could never understand it until you experience it.

When you wait for something for long, no matter what it is, it could be a one rupee coin, or something which does not have any pecuniary value.

 It could be any abstract feeling. If you have never been loved or understood in your life then there is no one in this world better in understanding the importance of love and the importance of getting understood.

 If you are born poor and saw your parents doing hard work and climbing the steps of success one by one then there is no one in this world better than you in understanding the value of hard earned money.

 If your mother has taught you discipline by hitting or any other means( in India a broom stick is the main weapon of all moms) then there is no one in this world better than you who knows how to respect a woman.

 In love opposites attracts but not only in gender wise but in personality wise as well. A happy couple is always opposite in personality. It is like a single soul divided in heaven so that they can later meet on earth and be complete.
                                                  In Hindu mythology we have SHIVA and SHAKTI or you can say ardhangi of SHIVA( In western culture they call wife or better half). SHIVA is the seed and SHAKTI is the bearer(it includes our mother earth).

 You cannot bring new life either without seed or without the bearer. According to the mythology SHIVA and SHAKTI were one only but in order to bring life in the universe they broke into two to give energy force to sustain life. It is some what same as the atoms when we break them it releases enormous amount of energy.
                                                                               Believe me when you will find that other part of your soul you will just feel it deep in your heart.

You will not know her name, you will not know her face, you you will even not know about her family or which part of the world she comes from, but that one touch will work like a medicine for your soul.

When you will find her you will realize that all those years of pain which you have gone through in your life is worth it.

You will become each-others weaknesses and strength. You will grow old together with hand in hand, see each-others wrinkles for the first time and men would probably loose all their hair and become bald.

You will even die in each-others arms and the soul will break again into two to wonder in the universe so that they can start the journey called life and become one, yet again in next life.

Review: The Immortals of Meluha

The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"Shiva" the destroyer of evil.

This book is the amalgamation of actual archaeological facts which depicts wonderfully about the indus valley civilization and religious figures like shiva,

 daksha, sati, etc. The thing which I like most is the way author has related all these facts to make a wonderful story. Though the writing style is not good, especially the ending part which is left in a

loose note. It could have been better edited with taking some nuances under consideration. All these gods are in a human form, shiva still enjoys his chillum (marijuana), he is still destroyer of evil but in

a very mundane way. A naive gullible god but can be ferocious when someone crosses their limit. This book might offend chauvinistic people because of the depiction of these gods. Even I am an

ardent follower of shiva but I am more interested in the allegory of religions than the superstitions. Shiva is the god of the gods, for him asuras ( bad people according to the devas) and devas (again bad

people according to asuras) are one and the same. It is only about the persons perception that makes a person good or bad, each and everyone has there own battle to fight. It is just about the way of life. In

this book it has shown how the suryavanshi (depicted as devas) people who are more civilized with all technical and scientific advances still lacks to understand the feelings of the common people, they

are bounded by so many dogmas and beliefs that it has started to suffocate them. On the other hand chandravanshi people( depicted as asuras) who are not so civilized, no dogmas, not any strict rules

are more audacious and palpable freedom can be seen in each and every citizen, though it doesn't look from outside but from inside they are the happiest ones. We all are devas and asuras in our life,

we have met such people in our life who are very charming, innocent looking and reliable but inside their mind they have some nefarious intentions which one can only imagine and on the other hand an

ugly, so called infamous and not so happening type of people actually help during our tough time.

I AM GOOD

It is about an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing which most of us has forgot to apply in our own life. In this tribe when someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as GOOD, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

                              But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he'd temporarily been disconnected, and realizes that "I am Good".
