Thie book is a collection of thoughts that are simple and captivating enough for the reader to easily connect with.

I came across it on social media and the idea of a book on quotes intrigued me. There are hundreds of quotes in this collection ranging from social issues to society prejudices to matters of the heart to familial relationships amongst others and every quote hits home in a different manner.

I found simple thoughts that revolve around emotions relating to varying facets of life to be highly poignant and touching and I'm sure you'd find it an endearing read as well. Make sure to give yourself just about enough time to reflect on the observations made by the author and you'll find that most of them are highly relatable and accurate in today's times.

This book is a collection of quotes that encompasses a myriad of emotions, situations, and circumstances. From women empowerment to the importance of being a mother to love, loss, heartbreak, inspiration, and even humour, it talks about a lot of stuff and in a very easy and friendly kind of language. It actually feels like listening to a friend or close one give you little nuggets of fine wisdom. What i also liked about the book is how well organized it was. Every section has been well segregated and pertains only to the quotes that's relevant for that section. The images ahead of each section also keep you interested for what's to come and never lets the book become boring or repetitive. Overall, a very different book that hits all the right notes. Was a refreshing read.

I went for this book following an audio recommendation because the quotes sounded really good and I thought I could use a mind reset. Let me tell you guys, if you've been a little depressed and are trapped in existential crisis and doubt, this book will show you the path lit up with inspiration and creativity.
I found a lot of support and strength from the book and thought that here are some quotes that reflect the principles and values that we had been taught as kids or those that life taught us but we have been too blind to take action or implement them.
It's divided into easy sections depending on your mood or need for the day.
I would say that it's definitely worth a read for people of all age groups and preferences!

If you are an admirer of the beauty of words then this book will surely captivate you.

Consisting of quotes on several issues and topics this book is a unique entry into the landscape of reading as I don't recall ever reading a book based solely on quotes.

It's a marvellous piece of work that will surely have your heart for it's evidently written with a lot of heart and that reflects on each and every piece of writing here.

Some of the quotes are filled with intensity while some have an easygoing thoughtful nature to them. But one thing is common and that is the care and love with which each quote has been writte.

Will surely recommend it to everyone. A very nice read.

Words are magic and my most recent read Ayanam by author Sucharita Parija really created a magical experience for me.

The book is a blend of multiple emotions in the form of quotes that makes it a wholesome and satisfying read. From simple wisdoms to observations and imagination, the quotes in this book touch on a variety of topics and themes.

You'll often find yourself sinking into the emotions with which the quotes have been written for they feel genuine and true. The langauge too is easy to understand, and yet there's a depth in the words that feel deeply personal.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this and waiting for more such gems from the author.

📚 BOOK REVIEW

AYANAM

This is a compilation of thoughts in the form of quotes that feel genuine, from the heart, and written with a lot of honesty.

I could easily connect with most of the pieces here as they feel like parts of my own life and even for the ones that don't directly pertain to me directly I could feel the relevance they'd have for someone else.

There's one quote in particular that has my heart and I'd always refer to it. It says: “Smile at everyone every day without reason. Life will be more gratifying for you as well as for others.”

Such a simple thought and yet so true. That's what the book is all about. Deep things said in simple prose. Loved it!

Smile forever, as it costs nothing.

True to the above, let's throw some light on my recent read penned exceptionally well by Sucharita Parija that had my heart.

This book is a collection of thoughts and quotes that one could easily relate with and get a confirmed state of their own puzzled thoughts that they often find contradictory to the real world.

The author has done a phenomenal job of penning this read so that the reader would savour the beauty and intensity of the same. Loved the book for its thoughtful content which made it a perfect choice to go forward to.

Ayanam delves into the much less trodden path of quotes in a full blown book and does an excellent job of holding the reader's attention till the end. That is largely due to two facts - the relevancy of the quotes in today's time and world and the beautiful way the book has been organised. There are some books that give you a nice feeling when you open them and sift through its pages. This is one such book. It also covers a large array of topics and is extremely well thought out and articulated. Full marks here.

When I read the title I googled it up. It turned out to be a Sanskrit word. Irrespective of the real meaning I felt that reading the book was like taking a walk down a Soothing lane. Kudos to the Author for inciting curiosity with the out-of-the-box title. This book of quotes is unpretentious, simple and yet brings a smile to one's with it's inspirational quotes. The cover design evokes spiritual sentiment. It's a book for all to read & soak in. Why? Because it feels like the soft hug of a companion who eggs you to move on despite the adversities & challenges in your life.

Ayanam meaning the path is a read that will keep you rethinking on various aspects of life.
From being a woman to showing the beauty of family, the book has every dimension of life to be related with.

Being influenced by the author's first read of mine, I had always been too close to the world of poetry and this one is a magnanimous one.

Every word of the book is pure and genuine enough to connect with.
I really liked the quotes the book holds and each one has something to relate with.
It's a bouquet of emotions at its very best.
