ANY BOOK WORTH BANNING IS WORTH READING…
Shakespeare once said “Books are the most accessible wisest counselors; just imagine what the bad ones could do”. Books worth banning are undeniably worth knowing why they are banned, but reading them would invalidate the essence of their justified banning. Be it satanic versus of Salman Rushdie or Tolstoy’s kingdom of god, had confronted the censorships on subtle political, religious, sexual & social grounds, leading to violence, coup d’état, teenage angst & copycat crimes. If banned books are encouraged, the mantra for publishers would be to get books banned en contraire ameliorating them. Yes! Pen is surely mightier than sword.

WELL DONE IS BETTER THAN WELL SAID.DO YOU AGREE?
A man who wins is the man who thinks he can. But mere cogitations & eloquence without fruitfully executing them would take us nowhere. He who follows the mantra of karma without procrastinations claims the crown, rather who pander to mere assertions. Mahatma Gandhi & Bhagat Singh had never affixed themselves to mere sayings than doings. I firmly believe that actions speak louder than words & it’s these actions which takes us to horizons of success.
