An illusion to reality

Book : Mayaakatha

Year : 2018

Author : Meera V Barath

Publication : Notionpress

Genre : Self-help

Rating : ★★★★★



Ms. Meera, an ardent believer in the illusion of reality, crafts Mayaakatha, a beautiful collage of her thoughts on how this much-ran-after element of happiness in our lives lies in.

As the title suggests, this book is based the katha (story) of maya
(illusion). In a nutshell, it is an illusion holding reality within..

My instinct knew I had laid my hands on the right book.  


"Simple yet indelible.."


Ms. Meera expresses the most profound truth in the simplest words and points out the subtle things we often fail to recognize from which it can be found, enjoyed and most importantly, shared. Her book makes us realize that happiness lies within and no money or luxury can bring you even a speck of true joy.

This book makes an indelible impression on our souls.

"Artistic and elegant.."

She uses a poetic style to write this book and does more than justice to the genre, with a peculiar approach. The book makes every reader realize that it is okay to flush your emotions once in a while and bottling up your responses is not an honorable thing to do.   

A book where every word screams of simplicity and is full of meaning, that is sure to tug at your heartstrings and find your song within. 

One of the finest I've read.

Well developed thought bubbles most of us hardly pay attention to in ourselves.....a lovely read with a personal touch any reader can relate to....I specifically liked the the chapter on self-acceptance. 

The most profound truth put in layman language. A must read for all folks who believe that happiness can originate in the simplest of things as Ms. Meera tells us that true ecstasy comes in small pockets of craziness and innocence. An endearing journey imprinted in a beautiful book. 



A book full of laughter, smiles, tears and tantrums that is sure to make you accept yourself as a human being at an emotional depth. If you are searching for a soothing balm for your soul, this is the right one for you.

Baby footprints on time

Hello readers! Here's some really exciting and heartwarming news - Fledgling is turning one! No matter how many things we have done or achieved, those 'first-times' always capture a special place in our hearts. That first-time element is what drove me to write this thoughtful letter to my soul. This post marks one of my most emotional moments, hitting a new milestone with my most cherished partner in this journey, my dear Fledgling. It's been a year since we hatched open, taking a first glimpse of the outside world as soft sunshine peeked in at dawn. Now, before we knew it, we had started flying across the cliffs! It has been an amazing roller-coaster ride this year, definitely not one without potholes and bumps. But the thrill of turning one with something I hadn't even considered urges me to write more and more, as thoughts and feelings gush through. This journey has been a passionate one and we have also remarkably improved over the months of over

Turning Terrific Twelve!

Hi guys! I have crossed yet another milestone! Today, I'm turning twelve! From the time I was in my mother's womb till this very moment, these twelve years have been absolutely exciting and adventurous. The experiences I've had have taught me life's greatest lessons that will always be in my pocket throughout my journey. Turning twelve is often viewed as one of the biggest milestones in a person's life (stepping into tweenhood and much closer to teenage) as it is the last birthday one celebrates as a child and also the first one feeling like a tiny adult! Though I like thinking and planning ahead like an adult would, I still feel, learn and create with the heart of a nine-year-old perhaps. The innocence and creativity of a kid is always greater than the arrogant know-it-all attitude of a teen or adult. I definitely do feel much more matured by thought and response today. I have evolved as a person. Hitting twelve, I suddenly feel so grown up (alm

Simplicity of truth

Hello everyone! Do you believe in miracles? Well, I didn't until last week. So read on to know my story. Just a couple of days ago, I had my first book fair experience and unexpectedly bumped into some of my favorite authors and orators. My eyes scanned every stall for the novels I had listed the day before and for the posters I had wanted for my bedroom. I did manage to get my hands on a couple of novels at Penguin and many other publications but only after a few hours did the magic happen! Notionpress' contest rush notice somehow caught my eye and I instinctively walked in to enquire on that. That's when I met my now-mentor Ms. Meera Barath, the mind behind Mayaakatha, an engrossing collage of thought bubbles. I had no idea she was an author, so I walked up to her and told her that I was searching for a new writer to explore and whether she could help me find some. That's when she took me to the stand where several copies of Mayaakatha were placed. S
