Do you know what is the most striking similarity between a face and a
book? - You can read them ! But there is one more similarity- there are
too many of them ! Population of both is on the increase. And in today’s
age of best sellers, you get really confused as to which one to pick. If
you want to have peace of mind, happiness and inspiration - all at a
time, this selection becomes even more tough.
Most of us like articles on social issues; many more cherish satires in
good humour and even more are voracious readers of stories.
Some sensitive and literary people like poetry- Hindi or English. Even in
this category, some read short, crisp poems, others like theme based
long ones; some go for lyrics and others want free verse; some like
patriotic songs, others want spiritual and philosophic poems; some
people love Nature and others want reflection of society or social
message through poetry.
And yet there are art lovers who love paintings and a book of paintings
of all types of medium- oil, water or digital- is a feast for their
eyes.
Happy World of Books is a unique confluence of all these cherished
elements. It contains paintings of all types of medium- oil, water and
digital with topics varying from floral to landscape to human
sensitivities; it has poetry in Hindi as well as English with separate
sections for short poems, deep emotional ones, the nation, the nature
and the Almighty.
And above all, it has a trilogy in Hindi of very different genres -
serious articles, satires and stories- the topics as vast as possible-
from essays on clean and refined environment and happy society, Right to
Information, connection of North- East India with Mahabharat era to
satires on office culture, promotion and transfers, shunting post,
vegetarians’ predicament to stories of teenagers’ bond of love,
disenchantment of old age and rise of a school drop out to a powerful
don and becoming a writer. All of them are written from long experience
of the world and with a purpose to bring peace, and happiness of mind.
