Step into the bustling world of a dental clinic, where smiles undergo a magical transformation. For dental surgeons, it's more than a profession; it's a journey with a singular purpose - crafting beautiful, healthy smiles, much like visiting a cherished family friend on New Year's Day.

A Cup of Tea and The clinic staff goes the extra mile to ensure patient comfort, much like the embrace of a family friend's home. A simple cup of chai, served with a warm smile, dispels anxiety and provides solace.

The Unexpected Revelation - "She's The One": In 2016, during a visit to a friend's house, a quiet yet profound intuition whispered to him - "She's the one." This intuition set the stage for a journey filled with unexpected twists, profound revelations, and remarkable discoveries.

A Gentle Fast forward to 2021-22, where gentle suggestions have the power to alter life's course. Life has a unique way of returning to moments when his heart first spoke to him, setting the stage for crucial decisions.

The manuscript's release marks the culmination of an extraordinary journey, weaving threads of love, friendship, and new beginnings.

In conclusion, this manuscript reminds us that dentistry transcends fixing teeth; it's about bestowing the gift of smiles. The clinic mirrors the joy patients carry with them, and it's a privilege for dental surgeons to be part of this transformative process. They invite readers into a world filled with hope, transformation, love, choice, destiny, and unwavering connection.]]> 73 Rudra Rudra 0 0.0

]]> 40881621 The Book of Disquiet is the Portuguese modernist master Fernando Pessoa’s greatest literary achievement. An “autobiography�� or “diary�� containing exquisite melancholy observations, aphorisms, and ruminations, this classic work grapples with all the eternal questions. Now, for the first time the texts are presented chronologically, in a complete English edition by master translator Margaret Jull Costa. Most of the texts in The Book of Disquiet are written under the semi-heteronym Bernardo Soares, an assistant bookkeeper. This existential masterpiece was first published in Portuguese in 1982, forty-seven years after Pessoa’s death. A monumental literary event, this exciting, new, complete edition spans Fernando Pessoa’s entire writing life.]]> 433 Fernando Pessoa 0811226948 Rudra 5 4.39 1982

]]> 9938498
A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brings along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. At first Martha is entranced by the parties and pomp, and the handsome young men of the Third Reich with their infectious enthusiasm for restoring Germany to a position of world prominence. Enamored of the New Germany, she has one affair after another, including with the surprisingly honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, her father telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. Dodd watches with alarm as Jews are attacked, the press is censored, and drafts of frightening new laws begin to circulate. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experience days full of excitement, intrigue, romance and ultimately, horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder reveals Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition.

Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the period, and with unforgettable portraits of the bizarre Goring and the expectedly charming—yet wholly sinister—Goebbels, In the Garden of Beasts lends a stunning, eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time, revealing an era of surprising nuance and complexity. The result is a dazzling, addictively readable work that speaks volumes about why the world did not recognize the grave threat posed by Hitler until Berlin, and Europe, were awash in blood and terror.]]> 448 Erik Larson 0307408841 Rudra 0 to-read 3.87 2011

]]> 49434305 The eagerly awaited English translation of award-winning author Zhang Ling’s epic and intimate novel about the devastation of war, forgiveness, redemption, and the enduring power of love.

On the day of the historic 1945 Jewel Voice Broadcast—in which Emperor Hirohito announced Japan’s surrender to the Allied forces, bringing an end to World War II—three men, flush with jubilation, made a pact. After their deaths, each year on the anniversary of the broadcast, their souls would return to the Chinese village of their younger days. It’s where they had fought—and survived—a war that shook the world and changed their own lives in unimaginable ways. Now, seventy years later, the pledge is being fulfilled by American missionary Pastor Billy, brash gunner’s mate Ian Ferguson, and local soldier Liu Zhaohu.

All that’s missing is Ah Yan—also known as Swallow—the girl each man loved, each in his own profound way.

As they unravel their personal stories of the war, and of the woman who touched them so deeply during that unforgiving time, the story of Ah Yan’s life begins to take shape, woven into view by their memories. A woman who had suffered unspeakable atrocities, and yet found the grace and dignity to survive, she’d been the one to bring them together. And it is her spark of humanity, still burning brightly, that gives these ghosts of the past the courage to look back on everything they endured and remember the woman they lost.]]> 304 Zhang Ling 154204149X Rudra 0 to-read 4.17 2017

Love the writing style and stories. The short story approach taken allowed snippets of romantic scenes be vividly and sweetly captured, this arguably can be easily lost if in long version. The snippets are romantically profound despite being short. It is reader friendly - you can finish a chapter or two and stop and start again with a new chapter later as if reading a new book. What I like the most about this is that I can re-read my favourite chapters again afterwards.

Frankly, I hardly read novels in Bahasa Malaysia but this novel has succeeded in changing this. I look forward to reading more works by Ashikin M and other good novels in Bahasa Malaysia.

I hope there will be an English or perhaps Indonesian version later for more to enjoy it.

'These poems reflect the deepest longings of the human heart as it searches for the divine. They celebrate love. Each poetic whisper is urgent, expressing the desire that penetrates human relationships and inspires intimacy with the self, silently nurturing an affinity for the Beloved. Both Fereydoun Kia, the translator, and I hope that you will share the experience of ravishing ecstasy that the poems of Rumi evoked in us. In this volume we have sought to capture in English the dreams, wishes, hopes, desires, and feelings of a Persian poet who continues to amaze, bewilder, confound, and teach, one thousand years after he walked on this earth' - Deepak Chopra]]> 64 Deepak Chopra 0712670408 Rudra 5 to-read 4.29 1273
