📚 BOOK REVIEW
The First Wave: Life of a Covid Warrior

Dr. Prashant Nayak does a fantastic job of bringing forth the emotional, mental, and physical toll that the pandemic had on doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. While there are many good things in the book, my favourite is the journey that the author describes at the end of the book- I could feel the tension in my neck worrying if he would actually be able to go home. The description of the entire journey is so picturesque, I felt like I was in the car with him and his co-passengers!

  🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺 📚 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.
