Tales of a Weird Bookworm: S's Miscellaneous Reading Journeys

গল্পে গল্পে ব্যাকরণ by যতীন সরকার My rating: 5 of 5 stars An exceptional book for everyone (especially students if they ever read it) that may perhaps make them fall a little bit more in love with the nuances of grammar and language and words of the Bengali/Bangla language. Almost each section of grammar, embedded in stories and dialogues among the characters in the book, flowed seamlessly. Comprehension of topics that I dreaded in school came easily to me. I only regret not getting to read it sooner. 5 stars through and through. And so, I shall now endeavour to read the author's "ব্যাকরণের ভয় অকারণ", the book "গল্পে গল্পে ব্যাকরণ" originated from. Note: Why aren't all textbooks or books on difficult topics written like this? View all my reviews

সুন্দরী ও কদাকার by Walt Disney Company My rating: 5 of 5 stars Once upon a time, there lived a little girl who had just begun to venture in the land of books. One day she stumbled upon a fairytale story unlike anything she had ever imagined, and it was the tale of "Beauty and the Beast".... She grew to love it beyond measure and what endeared her to the story has become some of the best parts of her as she has grown into adulthood.

It taught me to have faith and trust and forgiveness when they were lost or forgotten or destroyed, but were needed the most to embark upon a journey full of second chances. I learned through this story the joy of bein...

মানসিক চাপ ও রাগ কিভাবে নিয়ন্ত্রণ করবেন by ড. মো. আলমাসুর রহমান My rating: 5 of 5 stars It is different from the typical self-help books in that it embraces religious practices and beliefs, along with the usual ways of other motivational techniques. I liked some of the insights that were new to me, like how to not create anger in the first place, instead of blasting everything and everyone in a rage or instead of seething quietly and keeping the hurt and anger inside to a boiling point, both of which are bad for good health and good relations. What the book said about having positive attitudes no matter what, because it is not always helpful or feasible or possible to control others' actions, but it is possible, with will and practice, to control one's own behaviour and way of thinking in any situation, it's true and supported by many of the great minds of the world. I would recommend this book to anyone having trouble with finding a goo...
