Book Review: The Loopiness of Life by Tanima Das

The Loopiness of Life by Tanima Das is a thoughtful, emotionally layered book that explores the repetitive, unpredictable human patterns of life. It is the book that stays with the reader long after the final page is turned.

Serving as a sequel to The Sorcery of the Senses, the book continues the author’s introspective journey into emotions, relationships, self-awareness, and the invisible threads that connect our experiences. While the earlier book focused on perception and emotional sensitivity, The Loopiness of Life expands those ideas into a broader meditation on how life often moves in circles, bringing us back to familiar emotions, memories, and lessons.

Book Cover

The cover is eye-catching and beautifully reflects the philosophical essence of the book. The looping imagery subtly represents repetition and continuity in life.

The Plot

The Loopiness of Life by Tanima Das is a unique story about Dhruv, who meets the five senses  Dristi, Sparsha, Ghraan, Shruti, and Swaad representing sight, touch, smell, hearing, and taste. Through their guidance Dhruv learns various life lessons. How the story navigates through past and present life to locate a magic stone is worth the read.

The story is set between modern-day Kolkata and the lost kingdoms of ancient times, creating a truly imaginative world. Each chapter feels like a fragment of life itself, inviting readers to pause and examine their own emotional patterns. 

The author's great narrative style focuses on minute details which makes the scenes live in readers' minds. Readers may recognize parts of themselves in the reflections, making the book feel deeply personal and comforting.

Rather than offering dramatic twists, the author focuses on emotional realism and introspection. This creates a calm, contemplative reading experience that resonates long after finishing the book. Her writing style remains simple yet impactful, allowing readers to connect deeply with the thoughts and emotions woven throughout the pages.

The book beautifully touches upon themes such as:

* Self-discovery and healing

* Love and heartbreak

* Emotional resilience

* Nostalgia and memories

* Human relationships and personal growth

Final word

Life is a series of never-ending loops. The beauty of life lies not in escaping the loops, but in finding meaning, joy, and strength while moving through them with courage and hope. The Loopiness of Life by Tanima Das is a beautiful portrayal of life lessons woven very carefully for the readers. It is a meaningful read for anyone seeking emotional depth and self-reflection through literature. Excellent narration, precise characterization, and the thought behind are conveyed very well through the story. If you believe in the guiding power of the five senses, this book is undoubtedly for you.

MeenalSonal Celebrates 11 Years of Blogging

As we complete 11 years of blogging and celebrate AuraOfThoughts' remarkable journey, we feel both proud and nostalgic. From heartfelt musings to thought-provoking insights, AuraOfThoughts has been a digital canvas, painting vivid pictures with words. Be it poetry, reflections, parenting experiences, or lessons from nature, we have always strived to be authentic in our writing.  

Aura Of Thoughts Celebrates A Decade Of Blogging

Spinning each word day by day, year by year, and today, Aura Of Thoughts has completed 10 years in the blogging world. When we started with Aura Of Thoughts, one motive was clear: sharing blog posts infused with positivity and learning. 

Celebrating a Decade of Positive Writing

Our cherished blog, "Aura of Thoughts," has traversed a remarkable journey of ten years in the intricate world of blogging. It's a celebration not only of consistency but also of the positive content that we created in the blogging world.

On the World Social Media Day: Jitters or Jiggles

  It's a world of laughter, a world of tears

It's a world of hopes and a world of fears

There's so much that we share 

that it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

It's a small, small world

It's a small world, after all; the phrase from the song holds good when we have access to social media at our fingertips. On World Social Media Day, we know we can't ignore it entirely and live; it has become an inseparable aspect of our personal and professional lives, shaping how we communicate and interact. 

Perfect Guide in Life - Inner Expressions : Poetry

Managing our emotions is a very difficult task as our emotions are likely to be influenced by others' actions and the circumstances prevailing around us. If mastered, then it can help one to fight against all odds. There are situations where we need to control our emotions for example, in our work culture; we come across all walks of people there, and therefore we may face many moods and emotions related to them.

Expressing our feelings and thoughts makes one self different from others. If there was a day marked only to express what you feel about life, then a single day may not be enough for me whereas few others may convey it in few lines. We can understand our inner expressions and need to careful of it not to be influenced by the outer world. 

MeenalSonal's new blog addition Dhoopchaanv धूपछाँव

A new beginning brings along a lot of happiness, excitement, and joy, and of course with it brings nervousness, slight anxiety about the performance, and mainly responsibility.

We always look for ways to excel as we firmly believe in accepting the change and moving ahead with time and simultaneously bracing ourselves for a novel approach.

You might be thinking about what new Blogging duo Meenal Sonal is going to bring, few asked us is it about the new category in our blog or the new format at our blog but let us tell you it is not about auraofthoughts blog. Then what, you must be guessing.

Can reading make you a happier person

Reading is a solo activity that makes you indulge in this being involved leaving behind the world. World of responsibilities, the world of tasks, the world of judgments just vanishes when you open the book. You enter the world of happiness, contentment, experiences, and lessons.

Yes, such is the power of reading that can be experienced by everyone. The only effort one needs to do is to pick a book and open it.

Questions that raises Gender Bias in the Society

In the 21st century, where each necessity is turning out to be digital, where the world is getting shorter with the help of technology, we all are heading towards a progressive world, but are we progressive in the thought process that makes society a better place for women.

This year's women’s day theme is #BreaktheBias, after more than a century of celebration(1911 to 2021) of International Women’s Day we all are still standing at the cross path where society is creating gender bias.

If you think you are supporting women by giving them options and freedom to choose then society at the same time is asking questions to women that are creating a huge gap between gender roles played and also passing statements that are subtle judgments. The Social pressure theory states that women are under high pressure than men due to this. 

Unseen future of a Girl : Short Story

Sudha was a bit contented today, two pot full of water was the reason for her smile, "Ahh! this will be sufficient for Baba, Imli and me". Her lonely eyes were not in sync with her subtle smile, she was missing Deepa who used to accompany her walk.

Aura of Thoughts Logo Story

 With time things change and accepting the change with composure and smile is what we do each time. If you are a keen observer of our blog posts, then you might have noticed our logo in our creatives since the beginning of the year and if you have not observed it then we believe you might have focused more on words than the image. In both ways, that’s a win-win situation for a content creator.  Let us share with you the thought process behind our logo, first let us share the logo here with you all. 

For us, simplicity is what we look for when we created the logo and we are sharing the same in the thoughts in our blogposts. Here are each detail and meaning behind it in our logo.

The shape

Though a logo can be made in any shape, we choose a circle as we firmly believe life is full of circles and we are a firm believer in karma too. A circle also gives us the sense of completeness, and to walk relentlessly on the path to achieve the goal. 

10 Best Self-Motivation Quotes to begin a Year

 The new year has begun and with a new year comes the goals. To fulfill the goals one needs to be motivated in life and self-motivation can be achieved through reading and writing. We have collated 10 motivational quotes about life lessons from great leaders and explained their perspectives through our positivity lens. 

1.     “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

 – Maya Angelou 

 

Being creative is the way of life, you need not take a paintbrush to paint or play with poetry words what you need is to creatively complete your work and creatively enjoy a life that everything seems joyful and even mundane chores become interesting.

 

 

2.    We want deeper sincerity of motive, a greater courage in speech and earnestness in action. -Sarojini Naidu 

 

Be it new year resolutions or any other challenge you take up in life, do it with realistic goals and approaches. Many post a message about the goals on social media and when the haze fades out we see that the sincerity towards reaching the goals was not strong. Don't take challenges or resolutions in a herd, decide what is best for yourself and then work towards it relentlessly. 

 

How Surprise Someone Builds Future with Recycled Paper

Do we ever have a count on how many papers are used in our writing or how many trees are cut to make 10 copies? Though the world is going digital day by day yet many activities require paper. Creating a paper without deforestation is one of the best possible ways. In our recent #EnvironmentalTalks with Pinky Maheshwari we came to know various aspects of papermaking and the art of customizing. Let us share with you about the organization and the founders of Surprise Someone and interview insights with Pinky Maheshwari.

Surprise Someone

It creates paper from the waste rags and cotton and not from paper, plus the papers have seeds planted in it so when these papers are discarded a sapling grows into a plant; by this, the enterprise is not only contributing towards the environment but also creating a business model that is sustainable for years and years. 

To conserve the environment and reduce deforestation this enterprise is making a wave of change and showing the path to many aspiring entrepreneurs. This enterprise gives livelihood to many rural people, and it also received an excellence award in an innovative product category.

4 Top Reasons How Games bring Balance to Life

For every challenge we encounter, our zeal to counter the next multiplies. This is what a game teaches us, isn't it?

How E-Commerce boosts MSME & promises better future #ECommerceInnovation

Gone are the days when a person has pushed aside for an idea to start the business, the main question in the old times was, who would finance your idea? We have heard many people saying that they had talent and ideas but due to lack of resources and support they took the normal path. Well, the time has changed and so is the policies and the way we look at business ideas. “Winners create their own story holds true when there is a full-fledged support system to back on."

In the 21st century, the face of the business is changing and a larger share of it goes to the E-commerce sector. According to the Nasscom research, year on year growth in the E-commerce workforce is 22 % .

We fill up our wardrobe 

That adds to the chore. 

Yes! We all do. We fill our wardrobes with all necessary clothing and a few clothes are gifted and a few are bought on spur of the moment. The fact is that we end up with too many clothes in our wardrobe and sometimes we do not know what to do with them. To ease out this trouble we talked to Amita, founder of Bharati Reuse Studio in our #EnvironmentalTalks session and gained a few solutions for it. Let us look at the highlights of the session in the blogpost. 

Amita: Founder of Bharati Reuse Studio:

Amita worked as a Business Consultant for more than a decade in financial services, retail, manufacturing, government sectors. Being a mother of 2, she wanted to spend more time with family and gave up the corporate job. She became a yoga trainer and trained children to deal with allergies, obesity taking the guidance of their treating pediatrician. Yoga helped her with her spiritual journey and as a part of giving back to the environment, she started Bharati Reuse Studio to explore contemporary methods and requirements of fabric reuse.
