BOOK REVIEW - THE MOTHER I NEVER KNEW

-

This book is divided into two parts. 


It has two stories, and both stories are about men searching for their biological mother.

Venkatesh, a married man living in Bangalore, starts his journey of searching for his mother when he learns about his lookalike. He did not stop there and continued in search of his mother.

Mukesh, a married man living with his wife in London, flies down for his father's last rites in Amritsar, where he learns the harsh truth about his adoption. He then searches for his biological mother and uncovers a lot of other secrets on the way.

Both of these stories are dramatic, have a lot of suspense, and keep you glued.

There is also a supporting role for the main character. Venkatesh has his daughter, with whom he shares everything, and Mukesh has his wife, who supports and understands him during his tough times.

The Mother I Never Knew by Sudha Murthy is a smooth, easy read. It is a beginner-friendly book, and you will enjoy it as it takes you along on the journey of searching for their mother.

I give this book a 3.5/5.

Happy Reading!!

Riverdale International Residential School

July 2015 was the first time I visited Riverdale for my junior college admission. I still remember it very clearly; it was an on-the-spot decision, and I didn't even search for it on Google. The right turn my cab took to enter the school—what I saw for the next few minutes was out of my imagination. A school on a massive hill. Like, seriously, is that possible? Yes, it is!  As I got out of the cab, I visited the founder's office for my interview, which was more like a discussion. I was still very nervous and wondered what this school looked like after what I saw. The first thing after the school building, I saw the dining hall, a huge hall with chairs and tables on the left, the food counter on the right, and a beautiful view of the Mulshi River surrounded by greenery out of the window. All the hill station feels! Riverdale had a dormitory system. Unity Dorm was my dorm, where junior college girls stayed. I had three roommates. And we had a single bed with a personal cupboard a

COVID-19

As the world is going through the major pandemic covid-19, many places are in lockdown mode! School, colleges, offices are also shut. It is a kind of curfew where people are supposed to stay at homes all the time and not come out. But have you noticed something? This has promoted family time in all the houses. Personally speaking, every night amidst the lockdown in city, my family is having a great time most importantly spending time together-playing different games everyday, listening to stories of the times when riots broke out in Mumbai and yes of course praying together for the betterment of the world. I even heard how people stayed wherever they were when the riots broke out in 1992. People even lost hope of their loved ones coming back home or meeting them again. But it's always overwhelming when you see them when there is no hope, it's a great feeling of satisfaction. And if we see what is happening today, people are not ready to stay home when they are getting
