Ram – Scion of Ikshvaku by Amish TripathiAmish

Firstly I admit that I am a great fan of Amish’s work and I really love Amish first Book “The Immortals of Meluha”, So I my exception was much higher, but I ain’t satisfied. I wont more, Still I love this book too. The way Amish has taken every characters from Ramayana and given his vision is beautiful, specially I love characters of Lakshmana and Bharat.
The narration begins with the battle of Karachapa, in which the unconquerable chakravarti king Dashrath is defeated by the king of Lanka, Raavan. Coincidentally, on the same day Ram is born to Kaushalya, the eldest wife of Dashrath. Dashrath is convinced that Ram is born with a bad karma and is a bad omen, as on the day of his birth he lost his battle.
Ram is as expected a man who loves to follow law and can do anything to protect the law, but Bharat is completely a different man from Ram, he is rebellious, Casanova type, but loves his elder brother Ram more than everyone. Lakshmana was the shadow of Ram who’s aim is save his brother from every unforeseen event. Ravan, a man of ego, brave and warrior. Sita, lady who can fight with the world for justice. Ram admiring Sita the first time he see her, Sita standing bold in the market place saving a teenage. Amish’s imaginations of inheriting Draupadi’s swayambar from Mahabharat into Sita’s Swayambar. Amish has brought into focus many of the social norms like caste system. Why birth should not be important but the actions should be important. He does open debate against polygamy just for political alliance.
The concept is beautiful, but my problem is with the flow of the story, some times I feel the descriptions were lengthier, and discussion between characters has taken place much mare space. overall I love the book and recommended to read it to all.

Book Blurb

3400 BCE. INDIA

Ayodhya is weakened by divisions. A terrible war has taken its toll. The damage runs deep. The demon King of Lanka, Raavan, does not impose his rule on the defeated. He, instead, imposes his trade. Money is sucked out of the empire. The Sapt Sindhu people descend into poverty, despondency and corruption. They cry for a leader to lead them out of the morass. Little do they appreciate that the leader is among them. One whom they know. A tortured and ostracised prince. A prince they tried to break. A prince called Ram.

He loves his country, even when his countrymen torment him. He stands alone for the law. His band of brothers, his Sita, and he, against the darkness of chaos.

Will Ram rise above the taint that others heap on him? Will his love for Sita sustain him through his struggle? Will he defeat the demon Lord Raavan who destroyed his childhood? Will he fulfil the destiny of the Vishnu?

Be a leader

Be a human first,

Why do you need salute of subordinate?

Why can you do your own work?

Why do you need a serveant?

Arrogant men love to rule,

But leader loves make friend,

They treat everyone as equal,

Be a leader,

its better,Don’t become an arrogant and idiot,

May be your servant couldn’t say anything in your front,

But they never love you as a person…

Love the world which is real.

Socialnetworks help to connect with friend,

But there is a real world outside,

Look at your around,

You find lots of people

living near your house and your surroundings,

you never exchange a word with them,

don’t even know names,

So go and interact with them.

When we become old,

There would no strength left in your body to walk,

One kilometer become thousand miles,

That time you can share your feeling with neighbors,

And get helps from those who would stay your near,

So don’t live in social network,

Live in the world which is real…

Let’s make a heaven

Let’s make a world,

where everyone is equal,

Where no needs of border and politician,

Let’s make a world without violence,

Without hunger, without poverty,

Without army and without any weapon.

Let’s make a heaven,

Where no one is boss,

Let’s make a world without companies,

Without stock market and without job.

Let’s make a heaven

Where is no death,

No accident

No threat of life.

Let’s make a heaven,

Where is no religion,

No color discrimination,

Where Everyone is equal,

Gold is treated as a metal,

Diamond is just a stone,

Where nothing is consider as precious.

Let’s make a heaven,

Where everyone is educated

And everyone is treated others well.

Let’s make this Earth a heaven,

Where God wants to take birth again and again . . .

Why do bosses conduct meeting on Sunday?

I think following reasons must be the reason behind meeting of Sunday or holidays.

1. They born to be slave and love to work like a donkey
2. They have ugly wives with whom they don’t want to spend time.
3. They want to show to their owner that they are the best slave in the world.
4. They had no personal life.
5. They are either bad son or a bad father, who doesn’t want to spend time with their parents or kids.
6. They are going through breakup phase, so they want to keep themselves busy.
7. They have no capabilities to finish their work in time.
8. They have no goal in life to do something big.
9. For them getting promotion is everything.
10. They are idiots, who have no courage to take risk and start their own business.

What you think?

A rose

I loved a rose,
forgetting that Rose has thorn,
which would give pain and suffer.

The rose looked gorgeous,
smell was delicious,
it’s not natural,
it was just made with plastic,
the smell of rose was just artificial,
It’s a show piece, had nothing special…

To love a rose is always one-sided,
It never loves you back,
It don’t say I love you return,
except pain you don’t get anything from rose…

Idiot terrorist

Idiot terrorist,

why this war?

Why you end your own life,

in name of Jihad and false pride?

Don’t kill anyone,

it’s against the rule of Allah

A man has no power,

To take life or give life,

and become a God,

Love all,

spared love and humanity,

If you want to go to heaven

Then Try to kill evil inside your mind,

And die to save someone’s life.

My better half

I expect you near me,

when I’m in trouble,

At my dining table,

with my kids,

With my parents when they need…

When we become old,

I want a cup of coffee from your hands,

A little love and care,

And your hand made food…

I want you to play with our gland children,

For whom you keep fast,

And I tell stories to them,

I want my life with you,

and you as my better half . . .

Don’t give your heart to an idiot.

Love is beautiful,

only for them who get success in love.

But success rate is much lower than expected.

Almost everyone is getting pain,

backstabbing,

and break up.

Sometime it kills their self-confident,

Make them a week and powerless.

Some becomes emotionless,

Some become monster and a killer,

So choose a right partner for you carefully,

Because your heart is precious;

don’t give it some idiot…
