    Life is beautiful with a seasoning of salt – Book Review

    Every day we witness so many instances which are part of a story unfolding around us. It is really a difficult thing to pick those instances up and look at them as a third person and narrate a story. Storytelling is indeed a difficult task. You have to know how to build it up to give one of a kind experience to reader or listener of your story. After reading this book, I can safely and happily say Asfiya Rahman has a knack to keep you engaged in her stories.

    Life With a Pinch of Salt is her latest collection published in Blogchatter’s Ebook Carnival. I am thankful for them to put it in reader’s hands. Stories included in this very short collection are woven around tiny instances of everyday life which we all experience. This relatability made me finish this tiny collection in one sitting.

    Things which I enjoyed

    First of all, I can’t stop myself from praising the gorgeous cover design with simple salt and paper shakers. Life is really bland without seasoning of fun, quirk and bizarre. Asfiya has story for everything above and some extra. Even though stories are very short flash fictions, they are complete in itself. I am eagerly waiting for more stories from her. Hope she bring out more and more such books!

    Blurb

    Life is a wonderful gift that each one of us has been given. We often get bogged down by the mundane routine of life and the weight of our expectations and forget this. This collection of short stories and flash fiction is a small attempt to remind us that life is messy and adventurous and full of surprises.

    Life isn’t meant to be perfect, it’s meant to be lived.

    जिंदगी एक सफर है सुहाना – a Wonderful Hindi Travel Guide Book

    Books have a very important place in my life and I love to travel. In the last year, I was fortunate to grab quick trips to nearby places when places opened up between these two COVID waves. But today I am talking about a book which encourages you to travel. Recently while browsing through the library of Blogchatter eBooks, I came across a book by Hitendra Gupta. Titled with a lively old Bollywood number “जिंदगी एक सफर है सुहाना”, it immediately takes you on a road trip. 

    Why should you pick this book up

    Hitendra has described many places in northern India ranging from glorious temples to the natural beauties in North Eastern states of India. He has presented important information about things or places which you should not miss if you happen to visit that particular destination in a very easy to understand Hindi. I have not come across any Hindi travel language book on Blogchatter eBooks library. He gives the best route to reach and best time to visit the destinations at the end of the chapter. This makes it easy for readers to plan their travels accordingly.

    I found this book interesting for a couple of reasons. First highlight was the inclusion of COVID appropriate checklist for travelers during and post pandemic situation. This will definitely come in handy while preparing for our upcoming travels. And next one is the weekend getaway or one day destinations in and around the capital city of our country, Delhi. These weekend get-aways are a very important part of youth from metro cities of India. Have you have recently shifted to Delhi to study or to work? Then, I will definitely recommend you to go through the details of amazing weekend destinations around Delhi described by Hitendra. You will save a lot of world wide web searches while planning your itinerary.

    The only thing which I would have liked more was the visual appeal through the photographs. If there were more photos in the book, it would have helped us readers to create an image of what to expect when we visit the destination.
