A Mirror to Our Modern Desires:
Reading A Boon of Seven Deadly Sins by Dhairyasheel Laxman Powar felt less like reading a fictional story and more like looking into a dark, polished mirror. As a reader, I’m usually drawn to stories that explore the "why" behind human behavior, and this book dives straight into the deep end of our most uncomfortable impulses.
The "Boon" vs. The "Bane"
What I found most fascinating was the title’s irony. Usually, we think of a "boon" as a gift from the gods. Author challenges this by asking: What if our darkest flaws—lust, pride, or wrath—are actually the tools we use to navigate the world? The way the author breaks down each sin made me reflect on my own life. I found myself nodding along during the chapters on Pride and Sloth, recognizing how easily these "deadly" traits disguise themselves as "self-respect" or "self-care" in our modern, busy lives.
What Stood Out to Me
• The Atmosphere: There is a heavy, almost noir-like tension throughout the book. Author doesn't sugarcoat the consequences of the characters' choices.
• Relatable Modernity: I loved that the sins weren't treated like ancient myths. They felt like things I see every day on social media (Envy) or in corporate culture (Greed).
• The "Human" Element: The characters aren't villains; they are just people. This made their "descent" feel much more tragic and personal.
My Personal Takeaway
There were moments where the prose felt very dense, requiring me to slow down and really chew on the philosophy. It’s not a "light" beach read—it’s a book that demands your attention and leaves you thinking long after you’ve closed the back cover.
If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers or philosophical fiction , you’ll find a lot to love here. It made me realize that we are all carrying these "seven sins" around; the real story is in how we choose to use them.
A rare 5 star read : The book i’ll be recommending to everyone
My review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
