I’ve never written a review before. And I never thought myself as a reviewer. Reading books is my fantasy but writing about the book is my nightmare. And at least for some moment of life, every people feel nightmare. Here I’m talking about the book “ AAfno katha “ by Namrata Pandey and Pradyumna Raj Pandey. This is the first book, which I have read from the author whom I know personally. Namrata Pandey was on my Facebook friend list since seven or eight years and I was always inspired by her motivating status on facebook. We were connected only one Facebook and one day, suddenly I knew, I was working as a subject instructor on a class, where her daughter used to study. I’ve seen many parents, who generally say that, grades are not a complete measurement of student, but on the day of result, they scold their children because of poor grades. And I’ve seen only one guardian who can proudly announce in front of mass that her daughter was average student. And I never seen her to pushing her daughter out of her limit. And the guardian was Namrata Pandey. And her daughter might be of average level on her grades but was outstanding on every other aspect. And it is only possible only under the right guardianship. And, one day, I came to know, she , along with her husband has published a book named “ Aafno Katha”. At first, I thought it was their biography, because of the title of the book. And I even did not tried to ask her about it. And it was very stupid deed. And , seriously, I was not really interested on reading the biography. But, again, I came to know, stock was over and second edition was already published, and now, this time, and for the first time, I was interested to read this book. And, yes, I got this book in the library of school, where I work. This book is all about life. With suitable metaphors, stories and their own experiences, they have made this book best. They have claimed this book as a collection of spiritual essays, but this book goes beyond it. This book teaches about how to live a good life. This is not the book to be read. This is the book to be felt from the heart and experience it. Only then, the main theme of the book is clearly understood. In many part of the book, authors have talked about Osho. And Osho himself has once said that, whatever you say, will be wrong. It is because , there will be obviously error in expression. And this book is no exception. Writers themselves have accepted that, they are not professional book writer. And they have mainly focused on their spiritual experience. But they have not given emphasis on language part. It seems that,
they also felt the same, so they have hired experts for language editing, but still there are more things to be corrected. This book is written by two authors but readers can easily feel that topics have been written separately. In some topics, readers can find personal experience , and can conclude that, this part is written by this writer. But, writers seems to be totally unaware about this. So it would have been much better if the writer’s name was clearly mentioned in every topic to minimize the confusion. And, writers have given wrong facts also. For example, in page number, 113, they have given an example of Einstein, but that story was about Edison. And they have mentioned that Einstein was mastermind behind Quantum mechanics, however, he is never regarded as a scientist of Quantum mechanics. Although, he discovered photoelectric effect, which theory is regarded as a important theory for the evolution of quantum mechanics, but Einstein is not regarded as a Quantum theorist because he was not willing to accept the result of quantum mechanics Although there may be some errors on book, this book is masterpiece for all those persons, who wants to know about themselves and about the nature.
