The Review:    

 ‘’Thoughts have power, thoughts are energy. And you can make your world or break it by your own thinking.’’

                                                                                                        -Susan Taylor

 I strongly believe in a saying ‘You become what you think about’ because that’s what we actually manifest to the universe, unknowingly. In times like these when people are going through disappointment, heartbreak and weak moments, Vitamin H brings a ray of hope, strength and optimism. It brings you an opportunity to embrace the brighter side of life despite the deadlocks, uncertainty and darkness.

                                                 

The Reviewer's Heart…

‘Vitamin H’ by Abhishek Deepa Thakkar is a collection of one-hundred-eleven motivating quotes. The collection has been curated in such a way that readers can sink into one thought a day and practise it consciously in their daily lives. This book is more like a personal therapy and it will address the much-needed affirmations you’ve been waiting for someone to tell you.

 

‘You deserve to be loved and accepted

With all your strengths and flaws.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise’

 

Page: 97

 Through his words of wisdom, Abhishek has beautifully touched different facets of raw emotions. Rather, I’d like to put it in a way, ‘he has diligently optimised reverse psychology’. His ability to weave unsettling emotions and acknowledgement of the same reflects his balanced sensitive and rational side. I would like to appreciate the poet’s attempt at elevating the lives of people and inspiring them through this compilation. The dose of one quote a day will bring you healing, hope, happiness and heartiness. For anyone going through a rough phase or a bad day, this book can bring sheer joy, solace and contentment. Owing to the simple, short and crisp thoughts, anyone can read it. This book is a treasure and a source of enlightenment. Apparently, I had a bad day when I begin reading it but as I read further till the end, the positive change in my demeanour was quite evident, thanks to the author. I feel the book cover could have been better with more hues of yellow and greens than blue. Also, at a few places, I felt there was some sort of disconnect as it read from one quote to another. It would have been interesting if the author had penned some real-life experiences or inspiration as a reference to his thoughts.


Why should one read this book?

These short, simple yet powerful quotes are sure to empower your ability to self-love. If you are planning to pick a book for motivation and positivity, I recommend you to go ahead with this one for sure.

Jia, with her earnest brown eyes, was watching outside through a window glass. She was mesmerized to spot a peacock dancing beautifully on the terrace of a distant building. She saw a crowd standing outside under the cafe roof, waiting for the rain to stop and so that they could continue to walk toward their respective destinations. Jia was a sensitive child and mature beyond an eight year old. There were two kinds of people she found standing under the roof. Some of them were silent and calm enjoying the pleasant rains, like her. Whereas, others were despite being strangers were friendly enough to start a conversation for a while. Jia could see them smiling, exchanging numbers. Maybe they ...

‘Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back''

By
The beauty of hairs Attracts and capture the attention of every stare, But it is hard to nourish and to give proper care Busy schedule and outings makes them dull and shiny rare, My beauty is evading away... I'm aware! Nothing is with me that can sooth me or do fair justice with my thin hairs Then I recapitulated the famous saying:  ''Love is a two way street: Love your hair and it loves you back'' Searching all around I found the trustworthy Dove, I pampered my hairs and said, don’t worry now it's Dove for you to love, And the day I started this beautiful journey of Dove's Love, I found a brand new day waiting for me to see my true colors of pulchritude  Embraced me within its charm and defined me with a unique personality! Restoring the softness It nourished my dry hairs, Now my hairs fall very rare, They can feel the fresh air, Dove lengthen my hairs  With eternal shine and strength  Though I don't have much time for my hairs But hav...
