Hi !I'm Apurv Nagpal, I orginally began this blog to review movies but now, after a decade, do so on my YouTube channel. Now it's just a platform to share my musings. The views expressed here are completely my own / personal and do not have any connection with my employers. Enjoy!
When this cherished novel placed in my hand, d charm I had.. This book I had again & again perused with delight. I considered it a narrative of facts & discovered in it a vein of interest deeper than what I found in other books....
As aromatic wine It seemed on sipping.. warm & racy : I took d book... my own thoughts swam always between me & d page I had usually found fascinating..
I'm all for literary festivals - d more d merrier. Intense dialogue, scintillating talks, book launches & interactions, interspread with occasional banter & mild digs must b good fun for u... VIPs invited to concoct a brew that explodes in d face... On d cusp of a new life ? having grabbed d headlines... It's wild, wonderful & thrilling. A book with a mischievous gleam of humour. Enchanter, u ought to be thrilled with ungovernable excitement..
I like reading, though of a childish kind; I could not digest or comprehend d serious, substantial & heavy stuff. This book convinced me that d contents were more taking than d title. Like d tagline too, feel d cost could have been higher, it's dirt cheap. But u know better. D ultimate marketing guru.. One tries one's best... May u sell Trillions. Blessings b with u.. This is my prized possession... (neighbour's envy, owner's pride)
His success is proportionate to his efforts. Sir, d writing is on d wall, as big as a graffiti.. Soak d occasion.. The Book has enraptured & enriched our lives.. A new chapter in a novel is something like a new scene in a play.. D charm of adventure sweetens that sensation, d glow of pride warms it...
The Book offers an abundant harvest of entertainment & enlightenment. Another discovery dawned on me... d world awaited those who had courage to go forth into its expanse, to seek real knowledge of life amidst its perils... Must b an enchanting experience for u..
An inexhaustible source of pure refreshment.. Sir, must feel self-satisfied with d result of yr ardent labours. U've secured d shadow of yr thoughts, confounded d critics & proved u can do d job. A puzzled air becomes u, there is something singular about Mr. Writer. A century's advance in experience.. don't mean to flatter u. It's been justly thought & rightly said.
A panoply of stories, a dazling array of talent. With paparazzo chasing & willing to panegyric.. He's a real Dorian Gray, apparently untouched by d ageing process. What is d secret ?? His Euro vision is going to do wonders in all d continents.. An opportunity like this would b a once in a lifetime experience. Mr.Nagpal, hog d limelight.. u're d only pin-up guy in d field...
D reader wishes to express that Dorian Gray was mentioned with all his positive traits not otherwise.. had no intention of hurting anybody's sentiments...
Sir, I don't have d authority to pick out mistakes, but feel proof reading has not been done adequately. Would like to bring to light slight printing mistakes. 1) page 13 2nd para "as if it" 2) page 24 again 2nd para "any any" 3) page 29 full stop after sentence no 15 is missing... there are more...
U r truly a Pro...man.. God of Romance..what a well descriptive poem..what a why to end a novel...how very romantic..don't have words to express my delight.. hat's off to u. Years spent ..
This is sheer bliss... he thinks & writes from a woman's prospective.. must have collected a lot of data before coming to such conclusions ! Knows d female anatomy so well...each contour... "ever square inch" of her body !!
Am sure d publishing house would b working round d clock, printing excess copies of The Book. It's, I hear, selling like hot cakes. Ummm yummy ! Superb Writer. Sure shot sellout. Few more mistakes that didn't skip my eyes.. 1) page 32 last line "a took a" 2) page 54 last para second line "his" ear...3) page 74 last para fourth last line "me" appearance... 4) page 80 fullstop missing after d second paragraph 5) page 97 again fullstop is missing after d words "up with joy & relief" 6) page 117 first para fourth last line "was now was" ..... don't get me wrong... am just yr well wisher....keep prospering... Bless You... for all u've done....
Thought for d day -"I'm such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own" - Woody Allen.. (holds true for many;) Giving feedback is not easy..sh b given for things that can b changed..both d giver & receiver benefit.. some times d receiver gets defensive, feels challenged, u r a liberal writer, take it in a positive way.. there sh. b honesty & openness in a writer-reader relationship too..
A self-help book on evolving. I see hope revive.. "Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result" - Oscar Wilde.. People sh.realise d importance of unplugging occasionally from their hectic online lives & take to books.. books are wonderful.. digital detox is d need of d hour. People in general.. r willing to give up sex for their phones !! U have joined d acclaimed & illustrious list of writers..incredible understanding of d subject. An icon, one of d best role models of young adult fiction..
An Absolut Spirit ! Wears his heart on his sleeve, literally. Brainwave's 6th sense has got d nerve of d nation... Looked at d larger picture & took d road less travelled, right next to d regular highway of life. Yeats- "Is he less a hero who goes into the abyss of himself"... Mr Nagpal u must b at all d literacy carnivals. Events worth a million words..provocative discussions,.. with d sexed up fare that's become de rigueur at mindsets, will audiences b satisfied with bare-knuckled literary discussions, or will keynote speakers have to lay on a more liberal baring..
Good fortune opens d hand as well as d heart wonderfully, & to give somewhat when we have largely received, is but to afford a vent to d unusual ebullition of d sensations...does not d consciousness of having done some real good in your day & generation give delicious pleasure ? & u have only toiled a few months or years! Would not a life devoted to d task of regenerating your race be well spent ?
Lone ranger turned International celebrity, bubbles over his rise from d ranks while pouring a sparkling dose if neo-capitalism. Well, it takes money to make money. His wheels were always turning to his own advantage. It's time to stop & smell d roses... He can preach about Kamasutra full of ecstasy & fire.. d creation of meaning & love through poetry... D moment a book is published d author loses exclusive rights to its meaning. An intelligent author welcomes d heterogeneity & finds in some of d interpretations greater beauty than he originally recognized in d words... Yo se' quien soy - Don Quixote. Your purpose determines yr power. Starting off, u had to b absolutely sure u'll succeed.... We are d sensual. We seek satisfaction of our body & mind . We yearn for paradise, where all desires are satisfied in a world that's transforming at d speed if light & d quest for inner peace amid relentless change at d same time..
In school days we used to have this Sanskrit - kunji (to ease d subject) .. similarly this Book too is a guide.. isko padh liya to life jhingalala......
D question is: Why has D Book struck such a deep chord? La dolce vita.. d unfettered account of his extraordinary journey makes even d most cynical reader dare to dream & hope (yet hope is never far away.. as one particular plot disguised a few loose ends)... He takes us on a grit-strewn ride with his inimitable humour & warmth. It's compulsively readable. Hands Down! most amazing. It's like listening to yr wisest & funniest BF (best friend) opening their heart to you. Thunderous, roiling exotic excitement. Liaisons synonymous with d archetypical femme-fatale/man-fatale. Ingenious stories sharply drawn & tenderly observed. He who split hairs discovering d theory of relativity : Einstein said, 'Imagination is more important than knowledge.' When reality falls short of d ideal, this writer bridges d gap with a generous scoop of imagination. Apurv Nagpal is imagination in action! That colourful teller of tales.. D literary pundits must b describing his efforts as magic realism. People, do u want to view life as a Films Division documentary or a Yash Chopra entertainer? If your vote is for d latter, grab a copy of 18+ sit back & enjoy d ride..
D Bike Ride: Love is what makes d ride worthwhile. Unless a woman has an amorous heart, she is a dull companion.... Story No.2 : Men fall for frigid women because they put on d best show. Marriage has many pains but celibacy has no pleasures. "If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it." - Ernest Hemingway. (People fall in love, but they have to climb out.) ...... Blame The Generation Gap : All married people fight, although many are ashamed to admit it. Actually a marriage in which no quarreling at all takes place may well be one that is dead or dying from emotional under-nourishment.... Dear Neanderthal : Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits & then complain that he's not d man she married ?? .... Let me say....... that this true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love.....
Claret is d liquor for boys; port for men; but nothing beats d beauty of my home-made red wine : It tickles & titillates my palate. It gurgles as it slips down d alimentary canal. It warms d cockles of my heart, & it burns d sensitive lining of my stomach...
It may have been observed that there is no regular path for getting out of love as there is for getting in. No woman likes to see her emotions the sport of a merry-go-round of skittishness. The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.. to love is to admire with the heart... completely agree..
Sir, my homemade wine was crude. Made me say things I shouldn't have. Shall stay within my limits in future. But Mr.Writer, there was no other ulterior motive, believe me.. Have been an admirer from Jawani Deewani days.....
World famous wizard with a world view & a writing wand. Wondrous, wild & wacky. . Must have a hangover of Wagnerian proportions in terms of success... pleasurable toil of writing....
Has enormous energy, coupled with a brilliant mind, which makes for a formidable combination. Looks like a work of Art. Calm, complacent, intellectual, his uncanny ability to stay focused...Takes positive criticism in his stride.. In his quest to surprise readers, here's a pat on the back for a job well done. But Dear Writer, there must have been times when anger has out weighed logic ... ??
The Bike Ride : I had a first date with a guy who'd just decided to quit his job... our perverse sense of humour, fondness for four letter words (not d F one.. please) & intolerance of annoying people make us a great match... In today's world, we want to see our fantasies & aspirations come true in d lives of our favourite book/ movie characters, because as kids, we've been conditioned "& d king & d queen lived happily ever after" (yawn)... In trying to live up to stereo types or breaking them, we forgo d real for d imagined. Armed with advice handed down generations, we enter relationships with preconceived notions... Why keep ourselves bereft of d wondrous pleasures of loving. Bring d orgasmic, titillating, bangable, bonetastic back. Doesn't everyone want a fairy tale romance on a platter ? Just sit back & enjoy d ride (pun intended)... Fellas.. His is an honest account..laced with a little naughty peg of malice & single malt.. He has a way of observing other people & telling a story that is almost unmatched....
Mr. Nagpal, if you are cut out for country life.. Nagri Resort at Palampur (H.P.) is just the place for you. Balmy night air, a sky filled with stars. You'll have difficulty to quell the ardour that 'll spring to you. The resort offers a haven of peace & serenity away from the bustle of the city. Apt for writers where you can write love poems... seldom one sees such beauty & serene place...tranquil .. but you are a globe trotter..
Expressing an unfiltered opinion.. Dear Writer, you've pushed the lines & tested the waters to see how far one could go.. Writing is a serious business & you've evolved so well. Amen to that.. Things once dear to us will always be dear.. Can't expunge from the mind.. May your individuality strengthen your love for writing....
The scion of a well known family, groomed for a public role from his earliest years, has carved wealth, recognition and status... ... 18+ has no equal, with just the right amounts of romance, wit and savour-faire'... Secrets and their revelations are what his book is all about. Keeps one glued to every page, filled by a sense of plenitude, touched the heart and aroused the body.. What a captivating line "He had never encountered anyone so responsive to his every move.... " Blessed be The Man, who has loved much.. Amen... He sensitively explores the sacred nature of sex and love and invites us to confront our own prejudices... ... Some books make us dream, others bring us face to face with reality - Thou hast rightly judged : In order to write about the sacred nature of sex, it was necessary to understand why it had been so profaned.. .... Will keep many a flask of midnight oil burning..
'An experience that always inspires your senses...that seeks to redefine the usual. An experience that serves up the ordinary with a twist...' These lines I read somewhere.. Bask in the sense of achievement... Leaves us asking for more..
He can turn the plain into profane, the mundane into the manic. And in this Midas touch lay his genius. He taught me that "Life exists" ..poetry, beauty, romance, love are what we stay alive for...
Eighteen Plus has brought about a radical change. The three letter word is no longer a darkroom activity...no longer limited to the bedroom, but it can affect people's lives in the kitchen and the living room as well.. Sexual revolution is happening in our country.. In the past one year, a paradigm shift in the manner in which women are demanding their sexual rights..to orgasm and satisfaction..
These people who conduct surveys are so 'velle' I tell you.. This one on the colour red... Sometime back if a woman wore that shade it meant she is 'available, easy meat or aggressive' .... The new one states : It is associated with romance, passion, lust and boosts a woman's sex appeal... Increases a man's attraction to a women !! What has colour gotto do with it ? A woman's natural style, grace, poise and personality can leave a long and lingering mark on a man.. She can appear as much attractive in a soft, sober, subtle shade..
I often used to wonder : How do porcupines mate? The Fable of Porcupine : It was the coldest winter ever. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice... Either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth and heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.. .... The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.... Better to be surrounded by warm pricks than be frozen in solitude !!
It's easy to take off your clothes and have sex.. Maybe peole do it all the time... But opening up your soul to someone, letting Him into your spirit, thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams...that is being naked....
I looked at Him like maybe He is magic...does following your heart means losing your head ? I wait for Him to miss me, while He is trying to forget me.... Was i just a passing fad ? The flavor of the season ? I wonder...
"Your stories do not mould themselves around your life. Life molds itself around your stories... Begin your stories with how you would prefee to feel and make room for the miracles." - Fiona..
Yesterday night received a msg on Whatsap after many days -- 'I have been doing thre Ice Bucket Challenge for a long time.....but the ice finished after a few drinks !' -- Some one liners are so hilarious...
"Your stories do not mould themselves around your life. Life molds itself around your stories... Begin your stories with how you would prefer to feel and make room for the miracles." - Fiona..
Because when I read, I don't really read, I pop a beautiful sentence into my mouth and suck it like a fruit drop, or I sip it like a liqueur until the thought dissolves in me like alcohol, infusing brain and heart.. To a drinker the sensation is real and pure and akin to something spiritual; you seek, in the bottle, you find....
Drinking is fun ! It makes me feel horrible and sexy. My mind may be sober but my confidence is high !! Quaintest thoughts, queerest fancies... come to life and fade away; What care I how time advances ? I am drinking ale today.. .... Love is alcohol.... When he was dry, he believed it was alcohol he needed, but when he had a few drinks in him, he knew it was something else, possibly a woman.. He wanted ecstasy as a way of life, was alco-holidaying.. I had placed my trust that December day in glass after glass of it, eager not for drink but for a bit of talk...
Taking Care of a -- A husband and wife were sitting watching a T.V. programme about psychology and explaining the phenomenon of "mixed emotions"... The husband turned to his wife and said, "Honey, that is bullshit. I bet you can't tell me anything that will that will make me happy and sad at the same time." She said, "out of all your friends, you have the biggest dick." .... Ho ho ho ha ha ha...he he he..
Mozart : Nothing is cast in stone, keep evolving... Every person who meets him, comes out richer because of his vast experience and his passion for life.. Gives us courage to step out of our comfort zone..
When I'm really disturbed, all I have to do is pick up This Book. It soothes my nerves. Acts as manna.. Today it led me to a glorious, strange, pagan, weird dream state..such a strange obsessive book.. I am able to close my eyes and see it..fascinating isn't it...
Apurv Nagpal is clearly a big force in the life of the anonymous reader... His lethal charms..larger than life... The ripples created still continue... ..... The prolific writer that you are, haven't you ever thought of writing children's books ? To see the world through the eyes of a child.. About the terrors and vulnerability of childhood .... Dear Writer, am sure you'll excel in this genre too..
Cleavage is so scientific : Biology and Physics take over... Biology gave women breasts and physics forces gravity to make them pop out, slightly... ...... ...... I'm going to be honest : my cleavage is not that fascinating. If I were to compete in Badminton of Cleavages - it would lose in the pre-quarter finals. Sigh.
If the moon can cause ocean waves to rise then surely it can cause the blood to rise in my body ? It's scientific too... I surf and sway the waves of the liquids that flow...
Good wine is meant to be sipped and savored. Life is meant to be sipped and savored. After days of hard work, enjoy the moments with a good book.... Savor it all as if it were the finest of wines.. Even with all the crushing, pressing and churning, great things come out of a life well lived...
From the writer we've learned - It's important not to limit yourself. You can do whatever you really love to do, no matter what it is... & make a pact to stay HAPPY....
If only...could lay my hands on an autographed one..... wishful thinking !!

ReplyDeleteI often used to wonder : How do porcupines mate? The Fable of Porcupine : It was the coldest winter ever. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm. This way they covered and protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions. After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen. So they had to make a choice... Either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely, they decided to go back to being together. They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the warmth and heat that came from the others. This way they were able to survive.. .... The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire the other person's good qualities.... Better to be surrounded by warm pricks than be frozen in solitude !!
