The Modern Day Hindu by Nikhil Chandwani My rating: 3 of 5 stars Blurb - “Here are your instructions. You must overlook everything you know. Modern Day Hindu needs you to blur the edges of white and the dark spheres of life. It is my journey, practicing a very rare Hindu way of living, and blending the same with Quantum Physics, The Cosmos, a whole lot of Hollywood Movie mentions, Rock Music and Passionate Resistance. This book provides resolutions to the Twenty-First Century dilemmas through certain laws, I decoded, while implementing the classical Indian knowledge. The book reveals the wandering consciousness of Hinduism. Awareness, that might complete your missing puzzle. It just might.   My views - The Modern Day Hindu by Nikhil Chandwani is a nonfiction novel. I must say that title is sole the reason to pick this novel to read. The title is an apt one, leads a pathway to readers about what the content would be. The novel is all about how we can follo

Voice of the soul by Shreyans Kanswa My rating: 4 of 5 stars Blurb - How does it feel to lie just by yourself and delve into the silence. The silence that is a path to deeper self, a self that is unexplored. That same unexplored self can also be regarded as the soul.  While the time ticks on the clock, a bond with your soul is timeless.
