The Unsung OTP

-
I am a half boiled 
Millennial..
I live with Androids
Alas! Androids were
Not my childhood friends.
Punk I was,
Punker I am,
Punked I would be…
Living and lavishing
With half-sung radios
In full-priced gadgets.
Losing myself..
My Self-- I am!
I am a half priced
Module..
An unsung OTP!

Assalamu Alaikum my dear reader friends!! I've been so intrigued to write a post on this wonder novel, "Frankenstein" , written by Mary Shelley in 1818. I came across this absorbing article in The New Yorker , which was published to honour the bicentennial of this globally acclaimed book "Frankenstein" . [Thank you Dr. Anwar for sharing with us the article @Readers' Rendezvous ]. The article speaks of the motif behind the emergence and the reign of the novel, which has triggered criticism of many sorts, all these years. Being a scholar who's got "a nose for the new!", I couldn't resist but buy myself a copy of this critically devoured novel. Some say, the book was inspired from a short-fiction writing competition, held within the literary elite including Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley and John Polidori. Some biographers have made a note that Mary Shelley has etched this story as an aftermath of her first-born baby's death.

Assalamu Alaikum... Dear friends … let me share with you the experience of reading one of my most favorite books, which I keep handy, to open up anywhere anytime to get relaxation.. every person comes to a point where he staggers in the crossroads of life. He's left to decide whether to go right or left, and whether to go back or move ahead.. such crossroads leave man in an intense search for truth and identity.He goes to all kind of spiritual and religious books ever written, in search for an answer.. One such book that can transform a person from being null to a person of eminence is, Mahatria Ra’s “Unposted Letter” . The book is a mélange of spirituality and modernity. Mahatria Ra combines the simplicity of everyday living with the grandeur of Godliness. Every man who reads the book is promised by Ra right in the beginning as, “Open any page. An answer is seeking the seeker.” Ra helps one to trace the most and more out of every strand in human life. He raises concerns on ar
