Editors Choice: 5 Must Read Books


We come across thousands of books in our life time, we turn innumerable pages. We live every line, every bit of the story. But there are a few books that leave a mark on our hearts. Here is the list of 5 such books that have helped me in every way possible and I hope they’ll help you as well:

The Fault in our Stars.
John Green.


I bet all of us have heard about it. How love finds us when we least expect it to. This tragic story left me in tears and a sad smile on my face. It Talks about Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters and how they save each other from Cancer. John Green has succeeded in bringing the message to all the age groups that 'You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you .I like my choices. I hope you like yours.'

Kafka On the Shore.
Haruki Murakami.


Some people are born with this unusual gift of binding people's mind and taking them into a world beyond their wildest imagination. A world where whatever you think is possible. Good or bad, we get to choose. Kafka On the shore pleases the reader as one flips through the pages. It is hard to put this book aside unless you solve the mystery of Nakata the lost cat tracker and Kafka looking for the library of his dream where he wishes to live his complete life in its corner. It takes you on a magical ride where fish fall from the sky, cats can talk and you can actually travel in time and save yourself.

It Ends with us.
Colleen Hoover.


A 'must read' for today's generation. One can learn a lot from this book It revolves around 3 lives and how deep an impact they have on each other. The book is about taking a stand for yourself. It talks about how we set a certain limit for people who can hurt us and if someone we love hurts us we further extend this limit. But is it the right thing to do? Is there an end to this? It sure does. It ends with us.

A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Khaled Hosseini.


I hope you've read it. If not. Do it. The story is set in Afghanistan during 1960s and early 2000s. It revolves around Mariam, an Afghan woman who has been wonderfully and tragically described. You will tremble as she does; you'll find yourself smiling when she does. The realistic approach by the author is the novels USP. Often it is the pain that brings two people closer and this book shows how. How one woman helps the other and how it grows into a strange but a pure bond of a mother and a daughter.


40 Rules of Love.
Elif Shafak


This book has answers to everything. It is the story of a world famous and a widely celebrated mystical poet Rumi and dervish Shams and their pure love for Allah and his people. It outlines the story where Shams meets Rumi and changes his perception of spirituality. The story grows into many characters and each character has something to teach. It teaches us the basic principles of Islam that are undeniably the basic principles of love. Each line is so precious that I highly recommend everyone to read this bliss.

17 *Fierce* Female Characters The Harry Potter Series Gave Us - Thank You, J.K. Rowling.

Harry Potter is a universe with endless possibilities of twists, turns and probabilities. Maybe that is the reason that there are so many fan-fics and theories that exist still, even after the last chapter closed on us, ending the saga. J.K. Rowling gave us a bevy of characters to remember, for good or bad, through the magical world that she created, and amongst them, today we are going to talk about a few. We bring to you some of the fiercest female characters from the series - you obviously know them all, but they need to be talked and written about. Here we go... 1. Hermione Granger She was not just the brightest witch of her age, but also the bravest one. At the tender age of eleven, when one doesn't even know how to fathom a situation, she chose her path wisely, stuck by her friends in their quest to finish off the evillest wizard of all times, and displayed an extraordinary knack for not just spell-casting, but logic, bravery and knowledge. 2. Bellatrix...

The Story Behind The National Pledge

Educationist Maria Montessori once said, "Early childhood education is the key to the betterment of society”. Our schooling heavily influences what we are in society today. We all remember our school days with much fondness, the memories of our friends and teachers bring us great joy. In all the memories we have of school, the morning assembly is often neglected. Irrespective of the school we studied in, there are two things that are common, the National Anthem and the National Pledge. We often ignore the importance and the story behind the latter. The people of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh have a strong connection to it. The schools in the city of Visakhapatnam were the first to recite the National Pledge in the country. In 1962 renowned Telugu author P.V Subba Rao composed the pledge while he was working as the District Treasury Office at Visakhapatnam. He later submitted the pledge to the local minister at that time Tenneti Viswanadham, after whom the local Tennet...
