Danielle Steel's ‘Johnny Angel’- Book Review

Hey friends,

Last week I kept myself busy with an interesting book- Danielle Steel's ‘Johnny Angel’. It is an amazing story full of faith, love, emotions and with the most important message about moving on in life.

Normally if we talk about Angels, people feel that we are insane. This book will make you believe in angels and you will also feel that may be you are surviving and progressing because of your Angel. In day to day busy life we hardly get chance to think about this stuff, but calm reading of this book will show you the wonder of the world; YOUR ANGEL.

It is a story about Johnny - a 17 year-old teenage boy who is a loving son, caring brother and a lover. He is the perfect hero of any good story. He has a loving family, friends, perfect education and ‘Becky’ his girlfriend who loves him truly and deeply. Everything was going on properly, when an accident occurs and Johnny bids farewell to his world. People who are close to him are inconsolable, especially his mother and Becky.

Unable to come in terms with his son's death, Alice is admitted in a hospital where Johnny appears as an angel. Johnny guides his mother to fix all the sufferings through which Johnny’s family and Becky goes.

Those who die never return- it’s a fact we all know, but there are memories and a hope of returning with you which will help you to move on.

The book tells us how life does go on even though we think it never will. Life moves on in any circumstances, this book teaches us how positively things should be accepted. Tragedies are part of life. Here I would like to quote some words by R.M.Drake:-

I also recall what Paulo Coelho wrote:-

‘Dreams are meant to be followed…..Life is meant to be lived…….’

The language of this book is simple and easy to understand. This awe-inspiring story will make you go through mixed emotions of laughter and tears. Sit with a tissue box and travel with Johnny to find your angel.

I can see my Angel by my side always. Do you want to feel your Angel? Then grab your copy. It’s a worth reading book.

Open for your suggestions, interpretations and discussions. Hope you enjoy reading.

Stay blessed with your Angel!!!!

"RIP"; Rest in Peace those who are Alive....

Hello Friends, After a long time I am writing here. Hope you all are fine. This time I have come up with a different interpretation of the phrase “RIP”. Mostly this phrase “RIP”; Rest in Peace is used for the people who are no more. We use this phrase to give sympathy towards the departed soul. The soul may get peace wherever it travels. No one exactly knows where the soul travels. Sometimes this phrase is used out of care and sometimes just for show off on social media. While sitting alone near a cemetery, a thought struck in my mind. Why do we use RIP only for dead people????? We can also use it for those who are alive. Many time people use RIP when a person is dead. The same people might have harassed the dead person when he is alive. So what’s the point of “RIP”? Suppose in the day time you behave very badly with someone. Is he/she going to get sound and peaceful sleep at night? The dead person will never come back so we just say “RIP”. Of course ever...

" The Winged Word"- David Green

In my Graduation syllabus, I had a book named “ The Winged word”. This anthology is edited by David Green. It is anthology of poems compiled for the students of English literature in the B.A courses of Indian Universities. The chronological order, in which the poets are arranged in this book, helps the students to note the development of English poetry from one age to another. Referring to this book after a long time span, gives me a immense joy. There are many poems in this book. We were given some selected poems to study during three years of graduation. The poems which were in my syllabus are as follow:- 1.) I Find No Peace – Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-42) 2.) My Friend, the Things That Do Attain –Henry Howard (1517- 47) 3.)
