Dream Factory

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺


💫 Dream Factory is a novel originally written by Sujatha in Tamil. Recently it has been translated into English by Author Madhavan Narayanan. The book is a result of Sujatha's close observation towards the film industry. 


💫 The story is setup in 1980s from the Tamil Film Industry and readers get the feel of it by reading the book. The story outlines the up and downs in the life of actors and actresses in the film industry. The mention of stereo, fiat, landline phones gives a realistic touch to that era.


💫 Though I am not a cinephile, but I enjoyed reading it. I was introduced to many aspects of the film industry which were new to me. How a hut and tree revolves around on tracks surprised me a lot. 


💫 While reading I didnt feel for a moment that the book was the translated version and not the original one. The flow of the book kept me turning the pages. The storyline is very interesting and engaging. There were too many characters in the novel but hopefully I remembered their names accordingly.


💫 The author has done a tremendous job of translating the book into english without making the readers loose the grip of the story. I appreciated his work and hope it gets circulated among the eagerly readers.

  🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 📚 Book Review Title : Echoes of Gasping Souls Author : Gurucharan Singh Gandhi Language : English Edition : Kindle Pages : 211 💫 The onset of 2020 brought us more pain than pleasure. It was the year when the countries around the globe witnessed nationwide lockdown. Humanity was at war with the unseen virus. Everyone person had a different experience during the lockdown.

  *Title: Echoes of Loss and Longing Through Verses: A Look into Whispers of the Blue Ghost by Pratikshya Panda* In Whispers of the Blue Ghost, Pratikshya Panda invites readers to step quietly into a landscape shaped by memory, longing, and the ever-shifting contours of loss. This evocative poetry collection is not a loud lamentation of grief, but rather a soft, persistent whisper—an intimate exploration of what it means to hold on to the past while learning to let go. At the heart of each poem in this book lies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. Pratikshya’s poems do not overwhelm with complex language or abstract metaphors. Instead, they whisper truths with a gentleness that lingers long after the final poem has been read. There’s an amount of restraint that allows each image—whether it be water, bone, star, or shadow—to resonate deeply, creating an atmosphere where the reader can feel both grounded and suspended, real and dreamlike. The recurring imagery ...
