Book Review 96: Rhythm of Remembrance by Samir Satam.




An anthology of poetry, Samir Satam's recent book, Rhythm of Remembrance, portrays an emotional journey of the author; reminiscing the memories of past. The deep emotional impact memories have is reflected in each of the poems in this collection. 
Short, yet deep and meaningful, the poems have an emotional tone. As is quite evident from the title of this anthology in each one of the poems, the author rediscovers and reminisces the past memories; he is dancing to the 'rhythm of remembrance' through the poems. 
"not from any country,
but

we come from our stories,
from fragrance of memories,
of unknown cities and villages,
that we live in and carry with us,
in breezes, in steps, not our own, 

but

of places that flourish in our souls." (Rhythm of Remembrance, 68)

There are a total of seventy-five poems in this collection and each one is unique and fresh. It is a short and easy read. Also, the photographs included between poems and they are absolutely beautiful. 

Altogether, Rhythm of Remembrance is a collection of emotional and beautiful poems.

Book Review 54: Satyayoddha Kalki by Kevin Missal.

Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma is the second book of the Kalki Series by Kevin Missal. The first book Dharmayoddha Kalki was quite interesting. The second part is no less than the first one. It's equally good. After I completed the first book, I was very eager to read the second book of the series. After the events that took place in the first book, this book begins with the events that follow. The book begins with the third part - The Coup at Indragarh. (The first two parts - The Battle of Shambhala and The Rise of Kali has been covered in the previous book). To make it easier for the readers, the author has provided with a brief synopsis of the first book at the beginning. The book begins with Kalki's escape from the execution and his journey to meet Bhargav Ram at Mahendragiri. Padma and Kripa accompany him on his journey. On his way, he faces various adversities. There are many subplots intertwined with the main plot. As the story progresses, it becomes more inter
