One Sweet Movie

               I watched Qarib Qarib Single today and something about the movie was so good that I decide to blog. 

Ms. Jaya is an independent working woman, who has lost her husband. After much persuasion she gets on a dating app, and meets Mr. Viyogi. Yogi, has had 3 girl friends in the past and tells Jaya that he is sure they are still weeping over. He decides to embark upon this journey to go visit all the three of them. 

How Jaya learns to say no to people, how she starts living her life, how she learns to think beyond her ex-husband,  it's a beautiful journey of two people on the road. 

It's a very well made movie and I must say a very sweet movie. To know the rest of the story, do go watch it. 

Becoming - Check

I finished reading Becoming by Michelle Obama. This is her memoir and I must say it's a fantabulous piece of work. The effort taken in writing this book, clearly reflects on every word meticulously chosen to string them into beautiful and meaningful sentences. Never have I been smitten by anyone to this extent as I am by Michelle Obama and this book all the more restores that faith in everyone who looks up to her. 

This book is divided into 4 parts,

1. Becoming Me

2. Becoming Us

3. Becoming More

4. Epilogue

So aptly she writes, Becoming is a process, steps along a path. Becoming requires equal parts patience and rigor. Becoming is never giving up on the idea that there's more growing to be done. 

Recommendation: Very High

Rating: 5/5

All you fellow book lovers, who still haven't laid their hands on this book, please go grab it right away. It's an absolute page turner!

Jyothirlingas of Our Country

I was on a trip a few days back. There is this new temple opened in Raichur which has replicas of all the Jyotirlingas in India. 

There are 12 of them and the list is as follows,

1. Somnath Jyotirlinga - Gujarat (West
2. Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga - A.P (South)
3. Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga - M.P (Central)
4. Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga - M.P (Central)
5. Vaidhyanath Jyotirlinga - Jharkhand (East)
6. Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)
7. Rameshwar Jyotirlinga - Tamil Nadu (South)
8. Nageshwar Jyotirlinga - Gujarat (West)
9. Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga - U.P (North)
10. Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)
11. Kedarnath Jyotirlinga - Uttarakhand (North)
12. Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga - Maharashtra (West)

South: 2 Lingas
West: 5 Lingas
Central: 2 Lingas
North: 2 Lingas
East: 1

I haven't yet had to chance to see even a single Jyotirlinga till date. But this temple had all the 12 of them. I have now decided that I am going to start with South first and then move my way upwards. One at a time - Har Har Mahadev!
