Saawarni's Blog

During moments of downcast, my blog becomes my sanctuary, revitalizing my spirit and reconnecting me with my essence. Today, I extend a warm welcome to my readers. One profound realization that has recently dawned upon me is my unwavering commitment to preserving the authenticity of subjects, much like I cherish a quaint eatery serving delectable dishes or an overlooked time-worn monument. Just as I believe in savoring the unaltered essence of these experiences, I approach my blog with the same reverence, allowing its inherent charm to shine through, even in the company of a select few dedicated readers. The above image is of the Partition Museum and Dara Shukoh Library Building and the image below is of the unmarked grave of Dara Shukoh at Humayun's Tomb This time, I've delved even deeper into a captivating subject that I believe my readers will thoroughly enjoy – Dara Shukoh. Rather than delving into the academic intricacies of his life, such as the history of the Dara Shukoh...

Going through the book section of Flipkart.com , I eventually found a very eye catching book in maroon and reddish colour with big white capital letters title " THE VERDICT" by Prannoy Roy and Dobara S. Sopariwala. And more than that the concept of book insisted my eyes to look through it, just behind the title of the book : "Decoding India's Election". I grew up watching NDTV and I always admired Prannoy Roy. I remember he often appears on channel especially when it's an election season. I had no second thought about this book, I orders it on the spot. I was curious about the topic of this book and the interpretation of an intellectual like Prannoy Roy. (Picture Credit : The one who is writing the blog)  The book was delivered to me in two days and I was excited. I unwrapped the book and started reading at the same time. The book had engrossing contents which amused me and had literally made me thought about decoding an India's electio...

 Being a Political Science student sometimes challenges your thoughts about contemporary world especially when you thorough study the western political thoughts. One of the stalwarts among western political thinkers – Plato, an ancient Greek philosopher and regarded as the first western political thinker. A disciple of Socrates who laid the foundation of this whole philosophical mania. He embedded his ideas in one of his most novelistic work – Republic. There’re certain philosophies on which Plato talked about among which a concept of an “Ideal State” or “Just State” arose. He challenged those concepts ages ago but we are still in 21 st century struggling for the proper definition and execution for an ideal state. Although in many nation state powers are snatched forcefully with show of force or popular support, those are anarchic states. In context of democracy failure, he reasoned it that its due to people are not equipped with proper education to select the best ruler. For th...

Well , this is my consecutively third book review blog because I can't resist myself from reading books now a days .

Well , I can confidently say that my summer holidays went quite productive because the books which I opted to read and especially non fictional were exhilarating and I was poured with great facts and knowledge which were unclear to me and helped me to understand better about some of the few ideologies and incidents which are very essential to understand today because the facts are portrayed in a very distorted manner especially about the deeds and misdeeds of Indian freedom struggle and post independence era.  (Image Source : The one who is writing the blog !

Month of June and July are the months of holidays and relaxing for school and college students because these are the hottest months of the year and we are privileged with "summer vacations" in these months . Well I am an undergraduate student in Delhi University , so I thought to utilize my holidays with reading some interesting books rather than opting for internships in such scorching heat by sitting at home under the AC while having snacks . It sounds so "Lethargic" .... LOL .  (Image Source : The one who is writing the blog ! Thanks me later 😉) But eventually it turned very fruitful . This was so because , the list of books I decided to read were all non fictional and all the books were given to me by my dad and one of them was " Why I am a Liberal " by Sagarika Ghose . I am just done with this book and I am totally stunned by this book . Hats off to her !!🙆   (Image Source : Pixbay ) Now , Lets talk about the book ...
