Milk and Honey By Rupi Kaur

Image
Being a poet myself, I have forever been in awe of Emily Dickenson, Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Frost, William Wordsworth, just to name a few. Ofcourse, I don't have the audacity to compare the modern day and age poets with these existing constellation of stars, but for me "Milk and Honey"  didn't work at all.  I am not deriding her efforts, but I consider being a poet/author, one holds a certain responsibility towards the readers and above all you, yourself. There are a lot of blank spaces(I didn't feel they were filled with silence at all! but mere contrived spaces ) which could have been filled up with  emotions unexplored but yet felt!  Keeping my poetic soul aside, I wish Rupi Kaur to look into all the reviews, and come up with a better  and inspiring one. 

The Summer I turned Pretty By Jenny Han

I very well know that by giving this review, I am throwing myself to all the sharks and whales out there in awe of this book which has inspired a motion series. But I was dejected and confounded on how come we have a series on this unpleasant ordeal?? Not interested to invest my time on explaining about the trial and tribulation that I went through while reading this unpleasant narration. May be my old-school mentality and proclivity for decency found it to be  obnoxiously indignant with "not so-welcome" character-attributes. I am thoroughly confounded how come we have a series on the same?? Hope the series is better than the book(can't muster the courage to watch it post reading the novel)  Not my types at all. FULLSTOP. Please pardon me for the disparaging remarks, but I have to be candid with my review and take on it! 1- star
