3 Novels for Mystery Lovers

Missing person, damsel in distress, a broken down vehicle, yada yada yada. Tropes are many but can we really choose on one when we 'actually' want to read? To ease your headache on choosing a novel, I got you my friends, I got you. Here are 3 jewels I've ranked. You gotta fasten those seatbelts though: 'cause it's gonna get a bit nippy.  1. The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware Image Credit: amazon.ae This little thriller gift ought to blow your mind by enticing words, classy atmosphere and mysterious frames. If you're looking for a book to be alert at every second of reading, The Turn of the Key is the right stack of papers for you. Google the storyline if you please, I'm scared of unintentional spoilers :/ 2. The Secret History by Donna Tartt Image Credit: DC Books Oh my, my! I'm never gonna stop talking about this book.

What Makes Malayalam Literature Different?

A land with rich content of fabulous writers and equally beautiful works. That's what I would like to call Kerala, a state in the Indian subcontinent. I grew up reading books in both Malayalam and English languages. Having already mentioned English literature in my blog, now I want to write dreamily about Malayalam.

There is beauty and uniqueness in any and every language. Similarly, Malayalam literature is popular for its deep explanations of emotions, happenings, sensations, minute changes in nature etc. One can experience the ambient temperature of the story he or she reads. Malayalam literature's finest works speak a lot about the universe.

I am pointing out some of the best writers here. Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, the romantic writer of Kerala had written numerous novels on distinguished and creative topics. It's so interesting to read the magic of this immortal writer, Basheer. The Walls (Mathilukal) by Basheer is a mesmerizing story of two prisoners and their love despite the huge walls being a barrier between them.

When Kamala Surayya wrote My Story (Ente Katha), the public went into a rage due to the fact that she jotted down the sensitive and intimate parts of her personal life. Discussions arose because they were shocked about Surayya's courage beyond the norms of the so-called normal women. Why should she be disrupted for writing her own life at her own will!?

Benyamin narrated through Goat Days(Aadujeevitham), a gruesome, yet enthralling story about an immigrant Indian in Saudi Arabia. The protagonist had to suffer tortures at the workplace and the theme just grabbed people by their tear-filled hearts. 


It's not done yet. There are several other passionate men & women in Kerala who gifted the meaning of life through their pens. Naming all of them would need 10 other pages. Malayalam literature is a promise to the peace for your mind and soul. 


Try it: for those who are yet to begin.

Bon voyage: for those who are on the way.


Thank you!
