Ten Tales by Surbhi Mahobia - A Review

Ten Tales by Surabhi Mahobia - Vibhu & Me
Have you come across a book for which you wanted to read beyond the last chapter? "Ten Tales" from Surbhi Mahobia is one such book.  "Ten Tales" is a compilation of ten short stories for children aged 8 years and above. These stories are a mix of magic, mystery, thrill, suspense, happiness, and excitement. Although the book blurb says that it is a book for children, I feel it is a must-read for adults as well.

Every story of this book is beautifully crafted. One after other, when I was reading the stories, I was getting heartfelt. Those were cute yet deeply touching. Surabhi has done a great job with her book. I could not find anything that is missing from this book. Stories are exciting. They keep the reader hooked. Although the book has a few stories that have realities of this world, yet their fictional end is soothing. It leaves you with a thought placed in your mind. The book is perfectly designed. Everything comes well aligned. It is a pleasing read through cell phone screen as well. There is no extra scrolling or spacing.

My favorite story is "Deep Blue Sea". This is a story of a boy Danny whose favorite color is blue. He loves everything in blue despite blue is often associated with pain & boredom. Feeling blue, Monday blues, you get it, right!! However, the story is so beautifully woven that you don't expect such end of the story.

The book is short yet makes its place in your reading list. As I already said, nothing is missing in the book. All I wished for more such stories in the book. This is perfect bedtime story book for kids that you can keep in your phone and can recite them one every other night. At least this is my plan for coming days.

Don't think twice and download the book "Ten Tales" from Blogchatter platform : https://www.theblogchatter.com/download/ten-tales-surbhi-mahobia/

My 'Invisible' Accomplishments #DecadeHop #RRxMM

As we entered 2020, through this post I am trying to contemplate the coolest, most daring, and most significant feats of my life during the last decade. Now the more I regress my memory, the more I feel there are two types of achievements or accomplishments that I can ponder upon; Visible and Invisible. Visible ones are those that I can count on my finger like a parrot and others can nod also. I got specs on, married to a not-so-romantic man, produced a baby, started writing and added good 17 kgs in my body volume (I was 50 in 2011). However, there are many invisible accomplishments too that either I know silently or very few can assert. From 2011 to 2019, Who am I now From a coy soul to now an outspoken woman, the trek was not easy. I achieved it. From being a no-makeup girl to now a lipstick swatches observer, the transition was tough. But it happened. And from being a sweet hater to now a sweet lover, the change was mysterious yet occurred. And now I can die for Gulab Jamuns....

Cheap vs.Expensive Bottled Water-The Cost of What is Free & Essential

If I ask you when you last bought packaged drinking water last, I am sure you would not count it from long ago. Obviously, because gone are the days when we used to count water as a free goodie from nature for all of us. We now buy this essential for life thing in various amount as per our needs.  Be it a shopping mall or an amusement park, hospital or restaurant, travel time or even at home we pay for our drinking water. During Durgapuja festival I had to buy drinking water from many places which made me notice how the price of the same drinking water changes from one shop to another. Buying a one-liter bottle of a reliable brand from a general store cost me Rs. 20, while the same brand bottle of an equal amount of water filled inside a pizza hut store cost me RS. 50 on the same day. The last bottle that I had bought was left in the car parked outside and I felt thirsty again while waiting for my ordered pizza. This made me ask for water at the cash counter where the person o...

Vibhu and Web Series - Gullak is a cheering story

After watching Panchayat , I was again on a hunt for another web series that Vibhu (my 7-year-old boy) can also enjoy. Luckily I found one. It was again a neat and uncomplicated one. No abusive language, no inappropriate talks, and full of comedy, it was really fun to watch " Gullak " with Vibhu. Set in a small town in North India, this web series is about a middle-class Mishra family and their day-to-day struggles. Being a 90s kid, I have seen the craze for clay piggy banks, typically called Gullak. Be it any fair or festival, buying a clay piggy bank was a custom in families of North India (UP) during the early 90s. The Series is named Gullak as in the show, a clay piggy bank, is the narrator of the plot. The Mishra family includes a giving husband, Santosh Mishra; a sarcastically speaking wife, Shanti Mishra; and their two sons. Then there are nagging neighbors, demanding relatives, everyday life struggles, and lots of humor with all. The performance by everyone in the ca...
