‘Oliver Twist’ Book Review

Plz write a story about Thor and the reader, where the reader meets the Mighty Thor, but drunk, in a bar.

Ok ill make it. But the fact is I think Thor never gets drunk. However lets make it.

It was a christmas eve night. I was soo upset because i just got out from a fight with my bff. So the first thing i did was to get on a bar and have some big shots of vodka. I was still crying when i got into the bar. I ordered the vodka still crying.  Someone noticed me from behind and came to me saying “If your upset you need to have whiskey, i believe”. I looked over my shoulder and found that it was Thor, the God of Thunder (then dressed partially as santa). I was shocked as well as happy as Thor is my fav avenger. I smiled at him. He smiled back and sat beside me ordering two huge glasses of whiskey. I thought to myself that after all my christmas would not be that bad. 

I know i could not made it that good. However, enjoy!

Definitely mind blowing!

‘The Alchemist’ Book Review

‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho is a short, simple book but still bears so much significance. The language is simple and easy to understand but the meanings appears somehow really deep. The story follows a young shepherd boy who searches for treasure and realizes and learns so much meanings in the way. he learns about luck and destiny. He appears to understand gradually about specific values of certain things.

I have realized many philosophical things over and over again. Like I have realized, one who experiments and learns new things must move forward with his life without binding herself to any activities. In the book, the travelling is that sort of experiment. There is always a way out from any kind of trouble no matter how hard it is. It is no coincidence, it is destiny. There is nothing impossible for us to do or gain because everything needs to make the matter possible lies within our souls. Human soul is the greatest of all as Allah Himself has said.

After reading this book life seems beautiful. Even if there are troubles and disturbing phenomena going on, it is worth to believe and to rely on life completely. 

‘The Alchemist’ is a book of realization. The things we already know but haven’t have enough before to realize. This is a great spiritual and moral book. I will definitely recommend this to all the philosophy lovers.

Your review on The Alchemist is so Beautiful and Touchy, which I could do the same, since it's my favorite book.

Your comment means soo much to me. Thank you for supporting me<3

Comparison between Harry Potter and Percy Jackson

Comparison means mentioning the similarities and dissimilarities between any two or more things. So as I have decided to compare Harry Potter with Percy Jackson, I am gonna discuss the similarities as well as dissimilarities. I will start with basic things of course that everybody knows.  Lets start with similarities.

Similarities: 1. Both the series have the title in the name of the hero. As for example: Harry potter and the chamber of secrets, Percy Jackson and the last Olympian.

2. The trio thing is common in both of the series. The golden trio of Harry Potter are of course Harry, Ron and Hermione. And in case of Percy Jackson they are Percy, Annabeth and Grover.

3. When defining the characters, it is seen that Annabeth and Hermione have the very same characteristics. They are both are obviously the Miss know-it-all. Both of them are pretty smart and supportive.

4. Some of the useful materials used by the characters are also pretty much alike. Such as the Harry’s cloak of invisibility and Annabeth’s cap of invisibility.

5. Luke and Draco have almost the same nature (like 70%). They both are “neither bad, nor good” type.

Dissimilarities: 1. Harry Potter series has 7 books but Percy Jackson series has only 5 books.

2. Harry Potter is more described and a little bit less adventurous. On the contrary, Percy Jackson contains a little less description of every matter and in almost every chapter there is huge adventure.

3. Besides being best friends with Percy, Annabeth most often insults him for his little stupidity. But Hermione plays  the role of explainer actually when Harry does stupid little things.

I do have many more similarities and dissimilarities in my mind but I am gonna write all of them in one post obviously (like who doesn’t want to make sequels even if it is just a stupid post). Btw, I know that I am a terrible writer. But I am really trying to increase my level. Please be supportive. Thanks.

Books smell good. They look good. You can press it to your bosom. You can carry it in your pocket.

Harry Potter Shippings Part 2

As i have written earlier, I always wanna see Harry and Luna together. Recently I have gone through the Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie and there are certainly some facts came to my mind about Harry and Luna. I will share these now.

1. When Harry was jinxed by Draco in the train, it was Luna who came to save Harry in the movie. I think it was a good one though in the book it was Tonks who saved Harry. But seeing Luna and Harry together is such a pleasure. Of course there occurs some odd feelings in Harry whenever he is with Luna. But isn’t it obvious? Well Luna’s a bit odd actually. But the oddness has something really deep I think. This kind of oddness is another kind of pleasure and joy I think. However this scene from the movie makes me feel that Luna is soo much comfortable in front of Harry. I know that Luna is soo damn caring. She always behaves the way she wants. But the thing between her and Harry is about comfort I think. She doesn’t feel lonely around Harry at all.

2. Harry asking Luna to escort him to the slug party was the best idea I think. Though the conversation between them in the movie is not much but in the book it was really cute. The way Luna comfortably asked Harry if she was to do the eyebrows thing in the book made me feel really cheerful. I honestly don’t like the way Rowling actually describes the love affair in the books but this scene in the book was really cute though it wasn’t a love scene.

I really wish if Harry really would have ended up with Luna. that would be soo much lovely. However I will write more if I get anything else more to write about the reason Harry and Luna should have been together.

My Eid Facts

Eid Mubarak to everyone. Eid is the biggest ceremony for the entire Muslim community. Eid was so different and joyful when i was just a child. There is a huge difference between the childhood Eid and the teenage Eid. I am gonna explain the way I have celebrated Eid in different stages of my life.

Childhood Eid : The  childhood Eids i used to have were definitely fun. There were not many enjoyable things we could do on the Eid day yet the things we used to do were the joyest things ever to us. We (me, my sister Adhi, cousin sister Suraiya and cousin brother Sibbir) used to wake up early in the morning and took bath. And we used to get dressed soo beautifully.  We used to greet every elder member of our family (usually on Eid day like christmas every close relatives use to be together). Because greetings get us salami ( an amount of money we get when we greet the elders and this is an Eid tradition for the younger just for fun). Getting salami only from the close relatives were not enough for us. We wanted more. So we used to roam around and visit the neighbours ( who were kind of distance relatives) and also got salami from them. With the salami we used to buy the things we wanted ( those contain junk foods most often). Special dishes were cooked in the house. We all used to eat together. It was completely beautiful. At childhood we used to have atleast 3 to 4 sets of outfits for the Eid. We used to change our outfits one after another. At the end of the day we used to count who got the more amount of salami. I know i can not just describe how enjoyable the childhood Eid moments were. It may sound lame to you ( those who are reading). But trust me those days were the best. At least then my Grandma was alive ( my most favourite person in the entire universe).

Preteen Eid : Those Eids were a little bit different from the childhood Eids. Because at that time i left my homeland with my parents and used to live in UAE. Those Eids were with the neighbours i used to have in Abu Dhabi. At that time my neighbours were the closest person to me and my sister. As usual we used to get up early and dressed soo gorgeously. Then we used to go to the Coop ( Abu Dhabi cooperative society, one kind of super market near our home). There we used to buy the things we wanted with our salami money. In those days salami used to come from the neighbour uncle aunties.  From that time Eid has just started getting a little shabbier. I really missed my relatives who i left in Bangladesh.

Teen Eid : Now i don’t enjoy my Eids like i used to once. Now the Eids are just like for taking some goods photos and posting them to social medias. I don’t even buy 3 to 4 outfits now. Maximum time I get myself one perfect outfit. i just feel like my energies are going low day by day when i use to remember how i really used to enjoy my early Eids. However these teen Eids are still in a normal position which I don’t wanna explain. I just sometimes wonder what my adult Eids are gonna be! Where am i going to be in those Eids? Will I be alone! However let’s hope for  better.

Review “Men Explained Things to Me”

Just some random thoughts I had while reading the book:

1. Solnit was so pissed with the so-called everlasting knowledge that the men try to represent they have. Literally in every matter, they try to put forward some illogical, unreasonable and irrelevant garbage of the theories they posses and try to stop the women, violating the rights to speak laws everyday.

2. It has become a necessity to start talking about women and their rights by stating about their unprivileged condition first. Many people may find this as cliché or rather boring, but just think about it in this way, we guys  might have become bored to hear about these regular women tragedy everyday where this shitty condition of women is not changing for these whole periods of times those had finally made you bored!

3. I loved how Solnit talked about the violence women are facing in her country as well as tried to talk about some of the problems of India. Some of her quotations are very very strong. She has a great political as well as philosophical views.  She wasn't confined in talking about feminisms and women's problems only but also shared her perspectives as a writer in different artistic values.

4. In one of her essays, she also mentioned that time is definitely changing though. Women are suffering true, but not as much as they used to in the past. I think writing this is definitely an example of optimism which again gives us hope (the famous Pandora's box's hope in the good sense you know). The essay called "Pandora's box and volunteer police force" and "Thinking out of the box" are my absolute favorite.

5. In her essays she also talked about some other issues like capitalism etc. which shows her other sides like unbiases.
