Book Review : Gurukul to Gurukool


The book "Gurukul to Gurukool", by Manjula Rao B is one of the phenomenal books of all time teenager story. When I started reading the book I thought it would lead to some heroic end of the woman who left corporate job to be a teacher. But it was more than that. It ended with heroism of the teacher yet the story took several twists and turns. Beginning from that teacher's friend circle it ended with her student's glory. It appeared like any other teenage story yet I must say the way writer has presented different scenes like a woman moving from city life to small town teacher life who later settled in that small town with a guy, a guy fell in love with a girl who did not care for him turned to be the couple in the end of the story, and the best part was the unexpected reunion of the main characters of the story. How a footballer, crickter, athlete, widow (tennis player), doctor and IT firm co-founder alumni joined hands to save their school even after the decade of their passing out of their Alma Matar.


I would recommend this book to the beginners looking for an amusing story book of teenage life leading to rising responsibilities and understanding the virtue of giving.

Remembering Love Blog Hop : Embracing Infinite Love

She shouted at her mom, "You always do this to me. See, now I will be late again to school because of you."  Mrs Dixit, a woman in her mid-forties enduring her kid's lashes and tantrums, became habitual of the fact no matter how much she tried, they would always blame her for their mistakes. But that morning was different. She walked off before her younger daughter, who misbehaved with her. Sheenu, a teenager and Mrs. Dixit's younger daughter was more moody and repulsive in accepting anything against her wishes. Every morning, she would wake up late, even after multiple trials by her mother, to wake her and start the fiasco of blaming her mother. "Oh! Poor kid, why don't you get ready? There is still time. You will make it," her mother prompted.  It irritated Sheenu even more. She mumbled how her mother could behave as if nothing happened. She started throwing things she could get hold of. Bucket, mug, reaching to the kitchen, turning off the gas, tellin...

Does Validation Take A Toll On You?

Till when the art would find its way through validation? One evening, Shanaya was overwhelmed and eager to share the news with one of her friends. Without a second thought, she called her friend, Akhil, without knowing where the conversation would lead.  As she made a call, the phone rang, but there was no response. She thought that Akhil would give her a call back when he would be free. Shanaya resumed her work and went to prepare for dinner. After preparations, she left for the market to buy some groceries and cherish the pleasant rainy weather with a cool breeze touching her soul, whispering in her ears the rhythm of the onset of autumn. Holding an umbrella in one hand and a mobile phone in the other to shoot a video for her friend Neeta, walking on the rain-showered roads. They were trying to prevent a pool of water from splashing on them while the vehicles passed by them. Once they reached the society gate, it was tedious to cross the road due to heavy traffic. Somehow, they m...
