With her charming wits and spoilt nature, Emma would surely win your hearts and make you want to know more about her. This book is truly a mystery and if you look closely, you might even find a new depth of meaning hiding behind the guise of a romantic-comedy.

2. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

When you are creating a list of best books, there is no way you can leave out what is known as the best novel ever created in history. Anna Karenina. The plotline, though indicates a forbidden romance between the wife of a minister named Anna Karenina and a dashing cavalry officer named Count Vronsky, the novel itself is much more than that. Anna Karenina provides a view of humanity itself where Tolstoy asks it’s reader to not judge but to watch as the story unfolds in front of them. Anna herself is a lovely, energetic, captivating woman who is full of life and beauty and readers are bound to be on the edge of their seats as they watch how she simply crumbles, sinks into despair, fueled by desperation and irrationality and misdirected passion. What a mysterious character this Anna Karenina, and what a powerful novel it is.

3. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

Buy Now

While most of us have all swooned and died at the brilliant performance of Leonardo Dicaprio in the hit movie of 2013, the novel itself is what truly portrays the true essence of the story. Set in 1920, Fitzgerald tells us a story about the delusionally hopeless and fabulously wealthy Gatsby, who’s whole life rotates around the dream of getting back to his one true love, Daisy Buchanan. The lavish parties, the sparking lights can’t dim the personality Gatsby holds throughout the tale, and it’s quite easy to get astonished by seeing the man dreaming with such courage and passion even if reality speaks otherwise. The name of the novel truly does justice to what a great man Gatsby was, and the story is no doubt one of the finest that there is.

4. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

Buy Now

No doubt one of the most adored novels in the list is of course, Dorian Gray. The novel tells a dazzling story about a young man named Dorian who sells his soul for eternal youth and beauty. It can be easily claimed as one of literature's greatest studies of shallowness, vanity, casual cruelty and hedonistic selfishness. Wilde lays out all the points in absolute perfection, and you won’t be able to put it down once you get a hold of it. The novel, even though it has the name of Dorian in the title, focuses around three characters; Basil Hallward, Lord Henry Wotton and Dorian Gray. It is a story that sounds like a dark, corrupted Jane Austen novel that was snappy and pleasant to the ear, but the feeling it left you with was one of hopelessness and despair as you read on. The level of cynicism and societal disregard that Wilde’s characters display towards humanity in this novel is simply staggering. Despite the dark, it is still one of the most engaging, compelling and lyrical pieces of literature you can ever read, with pros and quotes that make you question life itself.

5. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

Buy Now

This creation of Harper Lee never cease to amaze with it’s warm and humorous tone, while also dealing with serious issues like rape and racism. On one level, this book is a fairly straight-forward coming of age story about life in a small Alabama town during the Great Depression. The protagonist is Jean Louise Finch, an intelligent though unconventional girl who ages from six to nine years old during the course of the novel. She is raised with her brother, Jeremy Atticus, by their widowed father, Atticus Finch. He is a prominent lawyer who encourages his children to be empathetic and just. He notably tells them that it is “a sin to kill a mockingbird,” alluding to the fact that the birds are innocent and harmless. Despite the easy flowing narrative, the book is both extremely and deceptively powerful in its discussion of race, tolerance and human decency and is obviously a must read for anyone.

6. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

Buy Now

A novel that is loved by some and hated by some, The Alchemist is no doubt a book to try reading. Coelho, takes us on a spiritual journey with the mysterious and captivating story of a shepherd boy searching for a treasure from Spain to Egypt, meeting mysterious yet eye opening characters like the Gypse woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest while showing him what life was truly about. It’s a book that speaks of the full circle of life, how fate and destiny will entwine if you want something with all of your heart and most importantly, how the real treasure of life lies within oneself than the outside. The Alchemist is a novel that combines an atmosphere of medieval mysticism with the voice of the desert that follow Santiago and the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices. With this symbolic novel Coelho states that we should not avoid our destinies, and urges people to follow their dreams to reach true happiness.

7. The Thief by Fuminori Nakamura

Buy Now

A literary crime masterpiece that follows a Japanese pickpocketer lost to the hands of fate. With dark-cold reality and oozing existential dread, The Thief is simply unforgettable. This novel tells the story of “The Thief”, a seasoned pickpocket, who puts himself into a mess he finds hard to get out of. Anonymous in his tailored suit, he weaves in and out of Tokyo crowds, stealing wallets from strangers so smoothly sometimes he doesn’t even remember the snatch. Most people are just a blur to him, nameless faces from whom he chooses his victims. He has no family, no friends but he does have a past, which finally catches up with him when Ishikawa, his first partner, reappears in his life, and offers him a job he can’t refuse. Nakamura writes what has been referred to as “zen noir” and there is not a better way to describe it. A philosophical novel with a gritty crime twist, this is the sort of book where characters debate morality and the worth of an individual life while searching for their own true self. Definitely a Must read.

What happen to your body when you eat these foods

2020-05-25T23:58:00.000+06:00

Eat before You think or Think before you eat?

Ever think what happen to your body when you eat or drink something? How it affects to your body and your mind? We often eat without even thinking the affects of it. Well, it's natural i mean who even think when you have the craving is for foods. But some food may cause serious danger on the other hand some food may cause a great heal for your body.

Here are some foods in our bucket list-

1. Soda

Who doesn't like soda? Even i do. Ask just about any person hearing the soda sound is synonymous with satisfaction and everyone has his favorite type. But what happen when you drink it?

The immediate effects of soda are well-documented. About 20 minutes after you finish the bottle, it hits you like 100 percent of your recommended daily intake of sugar, or 10 teaspoons.

Over time, a couple of sodas a day will start to affect nearly all parts of your body.

In Brain: Excessive amounts of added sugar can reduce the production of a chemical known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). And with inadequate levels of BDNF, everyday cognitive tasks like learning and memory formations become much more difficult.
In Lungs: People who drink only one can of soda a day dramatically increase their risk of chronic heart disease (CHD). Compared to participants who drank the least soda, those who drank the most were 20 percent more likely to have a heart attack.
In Heart: The amount of soft drink consumption is associated with an increased chance of asthma and/or COPD,” “There exists a dose-response relationship, which means the more soft drink one consumes, the higher the chance of having these diseases.”
In Teeth: Each time you have a sip of soda, sugar bonds with bacteria in your mouth, giving rise to acid. This acid weakens enamel, which over time leads to bacterial plaque that causes cavities.

2. Pizza

Most of us love pizza. It's warm, gooey, and topped with whatever it is your heart desires, from pepperoni to pineapple. Everyone craves for a slice. But what happen to your body when you take that slice? Lets face it:

A study on adolescents and young adults who consumed pizza often revealed that on days when they ate pizza, they actually ate more food that was heavy in saturated fats and sodium. The more saturated fats we eat, the more we will want to eat food. High saturated fat content can weaken the dopamine functions that are connected to the reward and motivation areas of your brain.If you eat pizza topped with plenty of meats like pepperoni, You may increase your risk of heart disease. Processed meats like pepperoni, sausage, and cold cuts have been linked to obesity, some cancers, and heart disease. Other things like-

Your body will process the carbs as simple sugars,

Your metabolism will slow down,

You'll lose energy and probably feel sluggish.

3. Spicy Food

Do you love to eat spicy stuff? Research has shown that spicy foods can change our brains and boost our overall health with a high concentration of flavor. Hot peppers trick your brain into thinking your mouth is on fire but there is no real heat in a pepper.

It's all about a chemical compound in peppers called capsaicin. Capsaicin binds to pain receptors on our nerves called TRPV1. Normally, it reacts to heat by sending warning signals to the brain. So, you react as if there's something hot in your mouth.

Your body tries to cool itself off. So, you start to sweat and your face turns red. At the same time, your eyes tear up and nose runs. After swallowing, the capsaicin binds to more receptors on its way down.

Spicy Food Strengthens Connections Between Brain Cells. It helps preserving key brain functions such as memory and learning.
Spicy Food Actually Makes You Live Longer. According to a Harvard study people who eat chilli peppers a few times a week lower their risk of death by 14% in any given period compared with those who stick to blander foods.
Spicy Food Makes You Feel High. If you’ve ever noticed a funny feeling when you eat spicy food, you’re not just imagining things. Capsaicin, the compound that makes hot peppers hot, causes your brain to release chemicals that make some people feel buzzed or high.

4. Leafy Greens

Now it's not in your favorite bucket, is it? Most of us specially children don't like green food. But you can not imagine how important is to consume dark green leafs. Foods like- spinach, kale, lettuce, watercress, mustard greens and cabbage.

So when Popeye was created, studio executives recommended he eat spinach for his strength, due to its vaunted health properties. Apparently Popeye helped increase American consumption of spinach by a third!

These are a powerhouse of nutrients and healing antioxidants. All of these veggies make for an excellent source of dietary fibre. Fibre helps maintain blood sugar levels; they are essential to sustain heart health.

You'll have more energy if you eat green leaf every day.

You'll get tons of vitamins and minerals if you eat kale every day.

Your gut health may be better if you eat green leaf every day.

Dark, leafy greens give your body floate.

Dark leafy greens help to increase your immune system.

So, will you think before you eat these foods next time? I'm sure you won't. Because I don't do that. :p
