Favorite 5 Books of Sushant Singh Rajput And which he cherished on his bookshelf

Favorite 5 Books of Sushant Singh Rajput
In a song composed by an American lyricist Irving Berlin in 1927, the lyrics read,

“The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
You and the song are gone
But the melody lingers on.”

This stands true for everyone we have lost on our way to today. One such person being Sushant Singh Rajput. But this is not a sad post, rather one where we celebrate his memory with a thing that we had in common. The love for reading.

Below are Favorite 5 Books of Sushant Singh Rajput. And which he cherished on his bookshelf and recommended to fellow readers:

1. Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran:

Kahlil Gibran is known to be the bestselling poet after Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu. He deals with mysticism and emotions. This book includes his most famous works including The Prophet. The renowned poet and author is loved by many; each of his work a masterpiece.


2. Brilliant Blunders by Mario Livio:

Brilliant Blunders: by Mario Livio
Sushant had a great taste in science fiction. Brilliant Blunders by Mario Livio is about the blunders made by 5 of the greatest minds. The mistakes made by Darwin, Kelvin, Einstein, Pauling and Hoyle, and how they lead to many more different perspectives and discoveries. A brilliant topic in itself to write about, right? Though I do not prefer reading science fictions most of the time, I see myself reading this in near future.

3. The Power of Moments by Chip Heath and Dan Heath:

Well, as the name suggests, the book is indeed about the power of moments. In this beautifully written book, the authors tell various tales about those experiences that had huge impacts on some people’s lives. It is a book that tells how we can use a single moment in making something huge happen

4. The Emotion Machine by Marvin Minsky:
The Emotion Machine by Marvin Minsky
Sushant Singh Rajut read a lot of non-fiction. And by lot, I mean a lot. The Emotion Machine is a mix of non-fiction and sci-fi, which no doubt appealed Sushant a lot. In this book, Marvin Minsky talks about our thought processes and how they might change in future. He also talks about the working of our mind with help of detailed examples. According to the author, once we fully understand thinking, we can develop AI machines that think on the same level as we do. To be honest, this concept sounds like a little terrifying to me.

5. Religious Texts:

So this obviously isn’t a book but a genre recommended by Sushant. In an interview he said,

“I would say people miss out on religious texts these days. I would just tell them to also read that, so as to see the striking similarities between what we study now and those texts written then.”

Therefore, we definitely shouldn’t miss out these just because we don’t see how anything in them can be possible. If we can read fantasy (me sighing exasperatedly) then they shouldn’t be left out either.

So, Favorite 5 Books of Sushant Singh Rajput. Have you read any of this book? Let me know in the comment section…

Faerie Queene Analysis

-
ANALYSIS Canto 1 Redcrosse represents Holiness, while Una represents Truth. Specifically, Una represents the truth of Protestantism against that of Roman Catholicism, which Errour represents. When Errour spews forth her lies upon Redcrosse Knight, Catholic tracts and papal injunctions are among the papers that make up her vomit. Redcrosse can only achieve victory over Errour by holding to the true faith, Protestant Christianity. In this way, holiness triumphs over falsehood. Canto 2 Archimago means “arch-image,” a name that reflects his use of deceitful appearances to work his evil. Having already failed to diminish Redcrosse’s virtue through the false Una (something which seems like the truth, but is not), he has more success with the false image of Una’s unfaithfulness. Redcrosse has a much harder time quelling his doubts about Una’s fidelity, leading to his flight into the forest and his encounter with Sansfoy. Sansfoy means “faithlessness,” and here represents Redcrosse’s own faith

The kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini  The story begins in media res (starts randomly and run both forwards and backwards) when Amir recalls an event that happened twenty-six years before, when he was still a boy in Afghanistan, and says that that made him who he is. Before the event, he lives in a nice home in Kabul, Afghanistan, with Baba, his father. They have two servants, Ali and his son, Hassan, who are Hazaras, an ethnic minority. Baba’s close friend, Rahim Khan, is also around often. When Afghanistan’s king is overthrown, things begin to change. One day, Amir and Hassan are playing when they run into three boys, Assef, Wali, and Kamal.

Boys cover their kite strings in glass and battle to see who can sever the string of the opposing kite. When a kite loses, boys chase and retrieve it, called k
