Happy world Book Day everyone. A tad bit late but there, nonetheless. This right here is my heart, my soul, my family all woven into a one beautiful picture. I have spent all my life between the pages of books and everyone of these beauties reminds me of a time and who I was. It sounds cliché bit I am who I am because I was raised with such beautiful friends who were there through all the highs and lows. Here's wishing all the bibliophiles and I a very happy world book day. . . . To the words that drip With golden nectar Filling my mouth with Milk and honey The black and white that encapsulates worlds together In its curves and lines. . . . . #Bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookclub #igreads #igers #ReadingGoodness #amreading #ShellyBajwaReviews #Wordpress #TheBookFiles #readingupdate #thelitlodge #BookOfTheMonth #voteforyourpick #ChildrensFiction #AlicesAdventuresInWonderland #lewiscaroll #happyworldbookday

Say hello to the new youtube art that I went to upload before disaster struck. Infringement of rights git my videos deleted EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THEM. STUPID YOUTUBE.

Just popping in to say, I'm still alive! It's a very special day for us Sikhs since today marks our New Year as well as the day that we became who we are when our 10th Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji laid the foundations of our religion. From followers, worshippers and diciples we became a separate creed. We became Sikhs. Here's wishing everyone a very happy and prosperous new year from my end. HAPPY VAISAKHI! GOD BLESS! . . . . . #Bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookclub #igreads #igers #ReadingGoodness #amreading #ShellyBajwaReviews #Wordpress #TheBookFiles #readingupdate #thelitlodge #BookOfTheMonth #voteforyourpick #ChildrensFiction #AlicesAdventuresInWonderland #lewiscaroll

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman from Bloomsbury Publishing is a collection of stories that explains in detail important concepts and foundations of the North Germanic people. Although with the uprising of Christianity, most of the literature and scriptures have been lost but a few passed on works have still survived through the concealment of the Gods as kings and princes so as to appease the Christian rule. Neil Gaiman has taken the stories from the poem called Edda and put through the situations through a little fictional magic of his own. He goes on to explain the conception of the world according to Norsemen and how the use of pagan symbols and worship slowly formed a full fledged religion. The importance of the world tree Yggdrasil is understood as it marks the centre of the Norse Universe, stemming 9 realms from it. The Gods are born of a giant called Ymir and it's his sons, Odin, Vili and Vè who later on slay him to create the remainder of all in existence, including Asgard and Midgard. The beginning also marks the existence of the end, Ragnarok. The Norse Universe exist on this very phenomenon that one day, the fire demon Surtr will bring the Norse Universe to an end with his flaming sword as it will slash through gods and mortals alike to lay it all to ruin. Often when a culture and it's myths are retold, there remains the risk of either overdoing the creativity or understating the actual facts. This book was the perfect example of what literary and creative restraint look like. Gaiman made sure you got all the facts, a laugh and then some but without disturbing the credibility of the actual mythology. He has tried every possible way to maintain the sanctity of the culture without making it too factual and boring. . . . . .

If you want to read it with equally mad bibliophiles, head over to the official page and follow them! (A bit of self promotion but an unashamed one to be honest!) . . . #Bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookclub #igreads #igers #ReadingGoodness #amreading #ShellyBajwaReviews #Wordpress #TheBookFiles #readingupdate #thelitlodge #BookOfTheMonth #voteforyourpick #ChildrensFiction #AlicesAdventuresInWonderland #lewiscaroll

CALLING ALL BIBLIOPHILES!! . So I'm planning to read this tome in the month of April and I'm looking for anyone who would like to read it with me. I'm a fast reader but adulting takes up much time and that slows me down, especially because I read quite a few books simultaneously. (Can't read one..it's a quirk. THERE ABSOLUTELY HAS TO BE ANOTHER BOOK ON THE BEDSIDE TABLE. ) . if you are interested, let me know!! . #Bookstagram #bookstagramindia #bookblogger #bookreviewer #bookclub #igreads #igers #ReadingGoodness #amreading #ShellyBajwaReviews #Wordpress #TheBookFiles #readingupdate #ASuitableBoy #VikramSeth #bookchor #Readers #Books #indianliterature #ILikeBigBooksAndICannotLie
