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 ...

A Culinary Escapade!

We quickly hop off our scooter at Chellas Kitchen as the warm sweet smell of desserts and noisy crackling of fries in the oil drag us to the cafe. We go and our eyes forage for snacks to order on the menu.  Located right in front of Oak Tree on the OMR, this seems to be a hotspot among desperate dieters to satiate their cravings with healthy options like vegan and gluten-free stuff to snack on. We are perplexed seeing so many varieties of exotic teas they outnumber the snacks that they are known for. Our eyes fell upon the Peri-Peri fries, cheese balls and "Fried milk" (what the owner proudly beams at and calls their signature dish). FRIED MILK!? We were blown away at the mention of the delicacy that seems to be the rage among youngsters. We had made up our minds - we had to try it. Soon the fries and cheese bombs arrive, crackling hot. These make the perfect warm treats for your tastebuds' cravings on a rainy evening. Though the fries and the seasoning fail ...

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...
