This is the story of that kind of relationship—one built on love, loyalty, and true companionship. With a few life lessons sprinkled in, this story will tug at your heartstrings, while making you smile at the little quirks of life. --- Meeting someone who feels like Sunshine—Is it real or Just a Dream? They say that sometimes in life, you cross paths with someone who instantly makes you feel calm, refreshed, and like you’re finally breathing easy. Well, they never say where you’re likely to cross paths with this person. A park? A coffee shop? Maybe, a garden centre while shopping for plants you probably won’t water? Trust me, the last one is truer than you think. It was one of those days when life felt a little too heavy, and I had escaped into my usual weekend ritual of "shopping for houseplants and pretending I know how to care for them." The air was heavy with the sm...

Summary Allegiant by Veronica Roth wraps up the Divergent series with a thrilling exploration of identity, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world beyond the faction-based society. As Tris and Tobias venture into the unknown, they confront explosive truths and the complexity of human nature. This engaging review takes you through the highs and lows of their adventure, reflecting on what makes this concluding volume a must-read. What happens when you cross the fence? I still remember the first time I picked up Divergent and was plunged into a world so unlike my own yet oddly relatable. Veronica Roth's unique take on a dystopian society—where the human experience is categorised into factions—captured my imagination. Fast forward to Allegiant , the conclusion of this captivating trilogy, and I find myself grappling with both nostalgia and excitement as I accompany Tris Prior and Tobias through their final journey. In Allegiant , we see the once rigid faction-based society in ruins, torn ...

In a world divided by reactions to childhood trauma, narcissists and empaths choose opposite paths. Narcissists turn their pain outward, focused on revenge and self-preservation, while empaths channel their suffering into compassion for others. This story explores how human beings respond differently to the same wounds. Who will come out stronger? How does trauma shape us? "Trauma is just like that Syngonium plant in the corner," my therapist said one afternoon. It was her favourite, with its bright arrowhead leaves brushing against the glass window in her office. "You plant it, but you don't know how it will grow. Some bend towards the light. Others, well... they end up strangling themselves." She had this way of comparing life’s complexities with houseplants that made me feel introspective and slightly guilty for the shriveled cactus on my windowsill at home. I wondered if it was an extension of my deeper issues—my inability to nurture myself, perhaps? But mor...

She felt trapped, unsatisfied, and incomplete. Following a bitter divorce and a whirlwind rebound relationship, Gilbert embarks on a year-long journey to reclaim her life, one filled with indulgence, spirituality, and self-discovery. From Italy to India to Bali, Eat, Pray, Love is a tale of one woman's pursuit of balance, peace, and ultimately, love. How does Eat, Pray, Love  capture the essence of a modern soul-searching journey? Every so often, a book captures the essence of our times, connecting with readers on a deeply personal level.
