Book Review: My Jeans Fit Well & The Ice-cream Didn't Melt

By
Some books can bring a smile to your face, anytime, in any situation. My Jeans Fit Well & The Icecream Didn't Melt by Manali Desai is one such book. I was struggling to get sleep one night, and instead of mindless scrolling, decided to do something mindful, and what's better than reading?. And I read this cute book by Manali.

About the Book:

My Jeans Fit Well & The Icecream Didn't Melt is an illustrated book about the author's daily life, thoughts, and situations, presented with the right dose of humour.


About the Author 

Manali Desai is a noted blogger and author whose writing has always been both enjoyable and touching. Her recent book, Inked Inheritance, is already winning hearts everywhere. Her bloghop, Every Conversation Matters, along with Sukaina Majeed, is a wonderful platform for bloggers to showcase their creativity and channelise their opinion on a given topic.

My Review:

My Jeans Fit Well & The Icecream Didn't Melt is an illustrated book with anecdotes from the author's daily life. The author has added the right dose of humour, along with subtle sarcasm at times, to bring out the daily dose of laughter we miss in our lives. 

The cute illustrations fit the underlying humour on point. As a writer, I could relate to many of the situations Manali has written about. Some are very normal ones that we shrug off, but later the writer's overthinking forces her to ruminate on those very happenings. 

My Jeans Fit Well & The Icecream Didn't Melt is an enjoyable read that one can carry anywhere for a quick dose of laughter and a smile in the moment.

Book Review: Durbin (Binoculars)

By

As an avid school-going reader, my interest always centred around the weekly magazines we subscribed to at home. Other than the usual ones for kids, the curious cat inside me sometimes secretly dared to go through the ones meant for elders. Like the literary magazine, Desh . At that time, I was surprised to find that the same authors whose works for children I was hooked to, like Sunil Gangopadhyay, Samaresh Basu and Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, were writing for the elders too. One such serial novella, Durbin , was first published in Desh magazine. Recently, I had a chance to read the book, and today, I have decided to write about it. About the Author Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay is one of the most prominent literary figures of our times whose vast contribution to Bengali literature is unparalleled. He has been awarded many times for his outstanding works in adult and children's literature. His notable works include Kagojer Bou, Chokh, and Chhayamoyi for adults, Nabiganjer Doittyo, Patalgha...

That Same Forest, That Same Fire #BlogchatterBloghop

Marc was looking at the remnants of what used to be his vast villa once. He could see clouds of smoke forming in certain places. It was still hot out there, with fire fragments flowing all over. In front of the gate was a huge pile of broken items- some turned to ashes and some half-broken. He could see something shining through the pile. He approached near to find a partially broken framed photograph. He picked it up to find one half of a picture of a beautiful 25-year-old woman with wavy blond hair and dreamy hazel eyes- his Lucy.  Fire - devastating, damaging & destructive! It has taken away all he has lived with for the last 5 years. Every object, every article, and every piece had been restoring Lucy's touch, her memories, and the feeling of her presence that brought life to all things inanimate. The garden where she grew her roses, the pool where she used to swim like a swan, all gulped by the deadly hunger of the forest fire!!  Tears rolled down the 55-year-old's ag...

Top 5 Classic Bengali Patriotic Films #EveryConversationMatters

We have 2 schools near our house, and both are preparing for Sunday's Republic Day celebrations. Listening to the drum beats and patriotic songs feels so good. Yesterday, it was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversary. I remember watching an old movie based on his life a long time back. This made me wonder why not make a list of such patriotic Bengali films today. So, today, I have listed 5 such patriotic Bengali Films: 1. Chattogram Astragar Lunthan (1949): Released at a time when India had freshly gained independence from Imperial British rule, this film centres around the Chittagong Armoury Raid and its mastermind, Masterda (Surya Sen). Surya Sen was a local teacher who planned to raid the Armoury with his small group of students, resulting in a fatal revolt. The immortal patriotic song, "Karar Ei Louho Kopat", penned by Kazi Nazrul Islam, was used in this film. 2. Ananda Math (1951): Ananda Math is one of my favourite novels by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay...
