SoulfulUnsobriety

W hile waiting for a friend to reach at the Thane station, I wander on platform no. 10 to find a place to sit. While she would still take around half an hour to 45 minutes to come, I thought of passing my time online on Instagram and Whatsapp. Bored in a few minutes, I got up and went to the IRCTC food stall in the station itself and bought 2 cartons of apple juice and while sloppily sipping the juice off the carton box, I looked around the platforms – no. 9 and 10. At any given time, the station is always crowded. I was watching the scuttle on the station! Thane being a crowded city, the announcements, chatter of people, some waiting for their trains to come, office going people, college youngsters, almost all aged groups were busy with their own lives,  when I happened to see a group of 3 college girls eating samosas near the stall, I remembered my college days.I missed those days! The train of thoughts was broken at once by a small kid who was crying....

NAME: LIABILITIES OF LIFE AUTHOR: SWATI NIGAM PUBLISHED BY: MOMENTS PUBLISHERS Child trafficking, molestation, rapes, child labor, bonded labor and the list continues to be a long one for the thousands and lakhs of children all over the world and especially in India where the politicians are so busy filling their own pockets with heaps of money that they don’t really care for such less fortunate kids. There are thousands of orphanages and  NGOs  in our country but the donation what they get from us normal people, more than half goes here and there instead of reaching to the main cause. I can say all this with confidence because I have personally worked for 2 major NGOs of India, marketing them and I left the job as soon as I came to know where the money really goes!!! Coming to the point, of these not so fortunate kids who at a very tender age have to see so many things which they  shouldn't  !! Some get targeted as beggars, some...

NAME: SHADOWS OF THE LAND AUTHOR: SWATI MISHRA PUBLISHED BY: MOMENTS PUBLISHERS The Shadows of the lands, this story is a personal experience of the Author herself - of her living in India, going to America and then returning back to her native soil, India. It is not a novel, which is a love story (with sex scenes! Off course), or about the IIT life, or is funny and has romance in bits, which makes you feel – “ah, same old tale, again!!” But, it is rather bit of maturely carved experience of the Author and it is a bit intriguing one! The story starts from author’s early days of childhood, where she was a voracious reader, a dreamer and a bit of rebel in her family!!  How she dreamt of someday going to foreign land and settle there!! Years later, when she has finished with her degree in Architecture and wishes to fly to America to get the Master’s in the same, her parents, rather her dad is not so supportive for this choice of hers, for his beliefs a...

BOOK NAME: ESOTERICA AUTHOR: INSIYA PATANWALA PUBLISHED BY: MOMENTS PUBLICATIONS Do you believe is Angles and Devils, that there is a world out there called as Angel world and a devil world, that there are humans in angel disguise? Do you like fantasy stories? Can you believe in such supernatural powers? Didn’t we all love those Harry Potter series? We did, right? There is something about such magic and magic-related stories!! Reading them and imagining rather than watching it in a movie are two different experiences!! I urge on reading such stories instead of watching them on big screen. Reason - it makes our imagination run wild into the world that doesn’t really exist in real!! “Esoterica – the worlds connect” a book which will make you believe that Angels and Devils exist!! Every story does have a happy ending that angels sometimes are in human disguise. ABOUT THE STORY: This story is of Sophia, an average teenage girl who had along with her fam...
