I accidentally had some experiences while doing yoga, this book clarified the experience that I had. Many books are too subtle that it doesn't clarify or too dense that it is hard to grasp. This was just perfect.
I actually want to have quiz and exam on this book so that I don't forget the wonderful information in this book. Most importantly, this book gave me the theorectical reasons behind some of the yoga practices that we do.
Mind blown that this author who is English I think (certainly not Indian) not only seems to have proficiency in Sanskrit and Tamil, but have also written books in Tamil.
This book is a marvel. The title is perfect, it is "essential" indeed.

Such an intense and moving book. No wonder it won many awards. Very real and practical. Finding it hard to write a review without giving away spoilers. If you have been living a life where you didn't have to worry if or not you will have another meal in the past 3-5 years then please read this book.
p.s: Special kudos to the writer and the illustrator. To bring a book to life is no joke. It is one thing to write fiction, somehow you can draw a line and disassosiate yourself from the characters with some effort. But even that is hard. To write a book based on real life and portray both the highs and lows. It is almost like living the life twice. When famous pop culture celebs write about their life, it is a different thing. They did most of that to themselves. So, a biography …

They did most of that to themselves. So, a biography for them is reflective. But then this is purely fate's doing and I see no reason why anyone would "want" to re-live that except for it to be a beacon of light to the readers. So, rush little readers, rush, grab the book and be the light.

Just seeing the name "Chris Riddell" put a smile on my face and the book didn't disappoint me either.
A dear story. The protagonist father was a doctor so even thought this is a refugee story it is much better than many refugees. A beautiful, heart warming story for kids and adults, never the less. The drawings bring life to the story and makes it even more endearing

Yet another heart warming book by Jory John <3
This series is a must read for kids 3-7. So beautiful.
aww another sweet book by Jory John. Follow up on "The bad seed". Very sweet and dear to heart. This series would make up for a lovely gift for kids.
Sweet way to teaching kids
- everyone have imperfections
- self love
Awww such a dear story. Made me tear up (i suspect i tear up relatively easy)
So often we get into this complaining rant about the million things that is broken and wrong in this world. This book for one takes us back in history and brings to life how people moved after WW2, building a life for themselves and help grow a community. Grateful for all that has happened that has led to this moment. Let the songs of ancestors never be forgotten.
Apparently June 22 is windrush day. Learning a little about the saga. Belated Happy windrush day yall.

This is the 3rd of the winnie the pooh books that I have read and I loved this one too.
I read all 3 of the books in the recent years and not during my childhood days.
But then if you ask me what it is about, it really is nothing but gives you warm fuzzy feeling.
Pooh <3 also piglet, kanga and everyone else in it too....
I was reading about the author and was wondering why it took so long(81 years since the original) for someone to write something as good as this. Then, I came to know that apparently the author had to wait for more than 10 years for the trustees of A.A Milne to approve the work. Why? For the love of god, why anyone would ever deny the world of such beauty is beyond me.
I loved "The Tale of Despereaux", compared to that this was okay. but i can see kids liking it.
My theory is true for most authors, regardless of how great an author is by the time you get to their 3rd book they loose their charm. Of course there are exceptions like Jeff Kinney
cute and beautiful way of telling kids that
- tough times change people
- you cannot change another, lasting changes are self motivated.
edit: I realise TLDR itself is too long, so TLDR to TLDR hehe
