Shanta: Ram’s Sister
A year has passed since I published my book Ram’s Sister: True scion of Raghu. It is a mythological fiction which speaks the story of Shanta the elder sister of Lord Ram. The woman who was lost long ago in the pages of itihas. A strong woman is always despised by this world. She is always treated as a threat to mankind. The society always want’s women with strong determined ideas to remain silent.
This is basically not a blog but an introduction to my first book. The book that was the beginning of my journey as a writer. The zest of the book is written below:
About the Book Ram’s Sister :
Ram the young prince of Ayodhya comes back after completing his education. He sees a statue in his mother’s room. Sumitra informs him about his elder sister, the true scion of raghu.
“I fear my imperfections maa. The fear of imperfection, the fear of never being good enough makes me thrive for his one word of love. But my imperfections always surpass my perfections. And I never gain what I want to.” said Shanta.
“Your imperfections make you perfect Shanta. Remember that without losing, winning isn’t great”
Witness the forgotten tale of this great women, Shanta. How she faces her struggles, passes her share of tests and evolves as life takes surprising turns.

Sita : Daughter of the Earth
The book written by Saraswati Nagpal is a beautiful outline of Ramayana. For starters it is an easy and convenient method to understand the main essence of the epic. The story has been started with an explanation of minutes detail of Ramayana. It has an image of Sita explaining “treta yuga” and the structure of Bharat land and there after the novel begins with explanation of king Janak’s life. The story has begun with the generous and kind behavior of king Janak and Rani Sunaina. As usual sita is depicted as the Bhoomija (lady born from the earth). A girl grown up amids the luxury and love of family is married to the prince of Ayodhya. Sita shines like Sakshmi in haven rejoicing in the love of Ram. This love grew because of the planted belief and thrust among them.
Ram is secondly punished to a 14 years of exile. He along with Sita and Lakshman then comes the abduction of Sita by Ravan and also her anticipation. After the anticipatin comes her second exile. There was not much added to story. It is a simple outline of Ramayana depicted with picture explanation for Child reader. It did not give me the inner essence of Sita’s Characters.
But, I must appreciate the graphics. The novel has splendid pictures. It certainly has an effect of the Bollywood cinema’s. The depiction of Sita and Ram has given an enchanting effect to the Book.
I would suggest the readers to own this book as it has a beautiful picturesque.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
