My books' reviews by my sister Prabha Ravichandran


Firstly before I write anything about the books read I would like to pen a few lines for the author Mrs. Priya Swaminathan who is also my dear sister. Extremely talented, honest, hardworking, disciplined and v sincere. She puts in a lot of effort in all things she does, has many hobbies and an eye for detail which comes across in her books. My best wishes and prayers that she succeeds in all her endeavours and gets success which she rightfully deserves!
 
I have read three books of hers; each one different and engrossing.
 
The Mysterious Basement of Summer City is an engaging thriller which keeps you hooked to the book till the v end till the mystery is unravelled.
 
God's Will is a nice story set in Kerala. A lot of effort has been put in bringing out each character so vividly that one can actually visualize them as they are brought to life in every novel.
 
The Byline and other stories is a lovely delightful compilation of short stories each one having their own flavour and moral at the end of it.
   
Most importantly all characters in all novels are well etched out.
 
Thanks and once again wishing the very best to the author with blessings. (Sic)

                                                                Mrs. Prabha Ravichandran 



Dear Prabha,

Your loving sister,

Priya

Send Resentment Packing!

My latest article published in Woman's Era magazine - Issue dated January 2020 (First fortnight)

Send Resentment Packing!

Open your arms to happiness.

By Priya Ramesh Swaminathan

Excerpt:

ADOLESCENCE IS THE
TIME WHEN TEENS ARE
JUST ON THE THRESHOLD
OF ADULTHOOD. THEY
ARE CHILD-LIKE, YET
HAVE A CERTAIN
MATURITY TO THINK FOR
THEMSELVES. THEY
PARTICULARLY FEEL AS IF
THEY KNOW EVERYTHING
AND CAN’T GO WRONG
ON ANY ISSUE.

If someone
points out the flaws in their
thoughts or actions, they become
rebellious, moody and
unreasonable. Hence they must be
treated with kids’ gloves. They must
be given a patient ear and
encouragement to mould their
thoughts positively.

Do read the full article in the magazine and let me have your feedback. Thanks.
