Audio Books

Since our childhood, we all used to come across phrases like books speak but have you ever believed this? Have you ever thought of books speaking to you or narrating its story to you and what you all have to do is to listen… Listen to what it’s saying, feeling how it feels to live the life of the character you may relate, having a tour to a completely different world, a parallel universe where you can be whatever you want to be.

Remember when you used to be cute kiddo and your grandmother used to narrate a story to you every night to make you fall asleep and you at times tried to be a smart one and always ask for one more story, actually one last story for the night which never happened to be the last one. Alas! now being an adult you don’t have such privileges most of the times and we just fall asleep due to a hectic not so happy day tho sometimes perhaps but at some points, you miss those stories and you crave a fiction that makes you fall for the character. You are a grown-up and it’s certainly possible that your fictional story might not fascinate you anymore.

But one thing for sure and everyone might suggest you are going through a book is always helpful and I can ensure you this therapy certainly work. Now let me come to the title of this article audiobook…. So what is an audiobook? It is just a recording of a book that will be read out by someone for you.

Now a very obvious question that might be there in your mind is reading not preferred over listening to an audiobook. So, friends, reading is obviously good but sometimes you can’t provide yourself with a book and being very specific here I prefer reading a book through its hard copy rather than any other medium but there is certainly be an option there when you can’t read a book because of any reason. Just give it a thought you can finish your favorite book while traveling through public transport, cleaning the house, or doing any unavoidable stuff especially just for finishing a book.

“We found no significant differences in comprehension between reading, listening, or reading and listening simultaneously,”

Rogowsky says.

The above-inscribed quotation is more than enough to be a good enough justification for all such questions. according to experts, there are multitudinous virtues of audiobooks like

  • Accessibility / Time Saving
  • Consumption of Knowledge
  • Mental Fitness / Building Concentration
  • Increasing reading accuracy by 52%
  • Increasing reading speed, expanding vocabulary, and improving fluency.
  • Teaching pronunciation.
  • Improving comprehension by 76%;

So as you discern what audiobooks are and the virtues of listening to them. I hope you would certainly try one.

The Ministry Of Utmost Happiness – Arundhathi Roy

The ministry of utmost happiness is written by one of the India’s celebrated authors Arundhathi Roy, who is also the author if several other best selling novels like ‘The God of Small things’, ‘Broken Republic’ and ‘The Algebra of infinite Justice ‘.

The ministry of utmost happiness revolves around the life if little Aftab who unlike the kids of his age aspires to be a woman. It all started when he saw a gorgeously dressed, transgender walking freely in the ‘biased’ streets of Old Delhi, not giving a care about the opinion of the society. He later follows her into what was known as “Khwabhag” – the house if dreams, where the refused became refugees. He loves his home much to the anguish of his mother and shifts into the Khwabhag and becomes Arjum.

A lot of changes happen in Anjum’s life as well as her body. She looses her beautiful bove and a strange turn of events introduces Zainab in to her life who was an abandoned baby that she decides to raise. Meanwhile the author directs the attention of the reader bro the political scenario of the country at the time. A chain of events leads to a religious outbreak and Anjum finds herself caught amidst thus chaos. What happens there changes her life forever, she leaves her family of Khwabhag to live in a graveyard instead.

She meets Saddam Hussain, s charm who later lives with her in the makeshift room she builds in the graveyard – ‘Jannath’ paradise. Slowly with the passing of time, she opens up to to her friends and family in an attempt to heal the wounds of the past. Many years later, they are joined by Tilottama where story is described vividly by the author.

S. Tillottama Naga, Musa and “Gaston Hobart” are college friend who take part in a play. Each of these Charecters is described in great details and the story shifts to a couple of years later, when all if them busy with their own lives meet one another by the path of their own lives meet one another by the path if their destinies. Musa, the most silent one grew up to fight for the freedom of his motherland Kashmir by joining the miliant side. Naga a smart, aggressive young journalist take to fame due to his sparking ideologies. Tilottama – Tilo, who works in an office and Garson a part of the beaurocratic department. They cross each others paths mostly because if their infatuation with Tilo.

The author lucidly and diplomatically captures the struggles of Kashmiris and their conquest for “Azadi” through the perspectives of the militants and military, Kashmiris and non-Kashmiris and the undead and the dead (martyrs). The novel finishes with the picture of the happy, smiling faces of Anjum’m and her friends who live in the ‘Jannath’ – a word of their own amidst the world of the rest. Why is the book worth reading?

Arundhathi Roy has used s perpecuous style of narration to capture the beauty of the old streets of Delhi and it’s enchanting charm. She very diplomatically writes about the intricate relationship between the Hindus and Muslims and the delicate string of balance between the two religions.

This book is an eye opener to the life and struggles of the people of the “other” community whose very existence is a sin to the society. The author also attempts to describe the life if the untouchable community and sheds light into their misery.

The heart wrenching story of Kashmir is told explicitly where from time to time normally is declared this book can be best described as a stinging satire on the ironies of the society and democratic system and ur s great feast for someone who’s looking for realisation.

TONER

Toners are essential for oily skin type to keep the pores closed and prevent them from producing more oil and further helping the skin from clogging.The ideal toner should be which do not contain any alcohol and is fast absorbing and suitable for oily skin.(My recommendation is plam green tea alcohol free toner).

28 Trillion of Ice Disappeared Since 1994

Retrieved thebigraise.fr

Scientists from Leeds and Edinburgh Universities and University of London have investigated that 28 trillion of ice has been lost since 1994 from the face of earth and they have pointed out that there may be a remarkable rise in the sea levels. They have been measuring the loss of ice coverage by studying glaciers, mountains and ice sheets since 1994 to 2017 to pinpoint the aftermath of global warming. The results may be numbing as the rise level may reach a metre by the end of this century.

Professor Andy Shepherd, director of Leeds University’s Center for Polar Observation and Modelling in a report by ‘The Guardian’ asserted that “to put that in context, every centimetre of sea-level rise means about a million people will be displaced from their low-lying homelands.”
