Celestial Bodies By Jokha Alharthi Book Review and Critique
Book Review and Critique By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 4/5 Why prayers remain unanswered? Is God absent; Is there is no one to listen to our prayers or the obsessive fury to covet something is not pleasurable to God. It could also be that God does not want to see us as a parasitic, and we know […]
Dhurandhar—He was bedevilled and he became baleful!
By Harsimran Kaur Human lives, in the movie Dhurandhar, look like an incessant storm, repulsive without remorse, undesirable, carrying an unyielding obstinacy to slip under the dexterity, the gravity, the seismic grounding. Is it only the physical voluminosity that storms hinder? The pile of dust laden over the years; of such patina of the mind, […]
TRUMP – THE WAR MONGAR
‘Does EGO benefit from FURY? By Harsimran Kaur What do you call such a war where FURY is unleashed in epic proportion? Fatous fury! Ferro-ethics around a cornered fury!

Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Departure(s) is a candid take on life; the deception, the frivolity, a bridled economy of socially intensified polemics, and how obfuscated life is. It is primordial, the life, isn’t it? All through our living, we are a witness to the prolix of ‘love’ and ‘hate’ to get convulsed in abstractness […]
The Maid By Nita Prose Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 Decisively bridled by cleanliness, yet dithered in her expressions, The fine lines of her hand scrub the tiles to perfection, Drawing the curtains back from crenellations to a corps de ballet, On thinks, how her pellucid-self assembles everything in disarray? Awkward, yet anorak, her eyes leave not a speck of […]
We Do Not Part By Han Kang Book Review
Review By Harsimran Kaur | Rating: 5/5 We never part with what destroys us! We never part with the ascension of our conscious! The soul thereby knows how to cross the uneven deluge to bring us back to where we belong. Kyungha-ya and Inseon are soulmates, navigating the catastrophic relapse of the anachronistic war vertiginous. They find themselves […]
Sublimity in Surrender
Poetry by Sunaina Luthra As realities of life continue to spin their thread every strand of truth Impedes the path I long to tread In the tenebrous corners of my mind I wrestle with all my strength To escape the realities Yet they absorb me In labyrinth of doubts […]
