BOOK REVIEW: PARINEETA

-


Parineeta is a book written by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhay. The book originally is written in Bengali. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is a Bengali writer, he is from West Bengal. This book is based on social, class and religion.

I completed this book is almost four hours (not continuous). It is a very small book. I read this book in Hindi but the translation is available in some other languages also like, English, Marathi, and Guajarati.

The main character of the story is Lalita, who is on orphan girl, lives with her maternal uncle. Her maternal uncle is Gurucharan, who is a bank clerk but has very less salary. Gurucharan has five daughters. He took a loan from his neighbor Nabin Roy to marry all of his daughters for this loan; he mortgaged his home for this loan.

Nabin Roy is a businessman. He has two sons only. His wife is Bhuvaneshwari. His younger son is Shekhar. Lalita calls Bhuvaneshwari as mother. Bhuvaneshwari loves Lalita and helps her in every need. Shekhar is a lawyer, he has a law degree. He used to go office. They are best friends from childhood. Lalita also adores him as a mentor. She also accepts his possessive attitude towards her.

They both unintentionally put garland to each other on a very special day. From that time they became serious for their relationship. But they do not tell about their unintentional wedding.


Nabin Roy is very clever who wants to marry Shekhar with a girl who is from wealthy family.

As the time passes, Gurucharan got ill and doctors advised him to live in a different environment. So he along with his family; relocated to Munger. But he did not live many days there. He died and also Nabin Roy.

Gurucharan’s family came back to Calcutta to sell the old home. At that time Shekhar came to know that Lalita refused to marry. She felt that she is already married with Shekhar. Knowing this Shekhar broke his marriage plan. He told everything to his mother Bhuvaneshwari. His mother feels it difficult to break marriage plan which is fixed for Shekhar. But she loves Lalita, she agrees with both and gave blessing to them. They now accepted each other. Shekhar accepted Lalita as his wife.

The book is very interesting. I did not feel a perfect translation of this book. Everyone is introduced well and had a wonderful role. We also read about the old games and problem of a typical and middle class family.

The power of your subconscious mind book is written by Joseph Murphy . It is a self-help type book . In the book we read about the power of our subconscious mind. Our mind is the only leader of our thinking. It defines our success or failure. It decides our capabilities to do the things possible or impossible. We read in the book… People all around may discourage us but we should try and try until the task is done. We can do everything what we can think, if we prepare our subconscious mind. Our thoughts decide our life and actions to try to be positive most of the time. We have healing power in our subconscious mind. Every disease first develops in our mind then reaches to our body. We should govern our task according to our thinking. In any situation of our life we should think that we are happy, harmonious, strong, loving and careful etc. Negative thoughts like stress , anxiety, fear, tension etc. destroy our thinking and result in serious diseases. Peace of Mind is the greatest...

We all know today is 15th August Independence Day. It is a very great day for us as a citizen of India. Today everyone is sharing photos and updating status on all the social media sites, like the whole country is coloured with tricolour. We all celebrate this day every year with full zeal and in patriotic way. We all have a cordial nature for our soldiers. We will always remember the sacrifice of soldiers in Jammu Kashmir operation (1948), China war (1962), Pakistan war (1965), Bangladesh war (1971), IPKF operation Pawan in Sri Lanka (1987), Kargil conflict (1999), and many more operations that gave befitting response to those who tried to dismantle the sovereignty of India. It feels very good to see everyone is patriotic and showing love towards the country but this feeling should be long lasting not only on Independence Day or in Republic day. In these two days we proudly hoist flag everywhere but after one or two days we saw many tore flags on the road, in garbage like a waste pap...

Unblocking The Most Beautiful Heart

It was 25 th  2010 July, first day of my engineering college. I was very sincere, so I was there to attend the class there were three boys and two girls, others were absent because it was first day and some people take the first day lightly. It was Reena ma’am‘s class but before teaching there was an introduction session. Though I was not good at English but I managed to introduce myself and told her about myself. After sometime it was turn of a girl. Her name was Jasmine, she was very busy in reading some books I thought she did not mind what’s going on. Ma’am said, “Jasmine… tell me about yourself.” She hastily stood up; she was very chubby, cute girl with pink cheeks. She introduced herself; i was very closely observing her and her beauty. Some of her hair locks were disturbing her vision by playing with her spectacles. For me it was like love at first sight. Her pink lips were like petals of rose. Her eyes were big like it was hiding a deep mysterious ocean in which i could ...
