Review of SPEED POST

SPEED POST by Shobha De

           This is a really amazing book I have read so far. It is about the confessions of a mother to her six children via writing letters to them. It contains six chapters with catchy taglines which provokes the reader to read ahead and find out what must be within the chapter. The book attracted me in the first few lines itself as the opening goes “Letters to my children about living, loving, caring and coping with the world”.... “For a life-sentence of hard but joyful labour”.
             
The author clearly justifies her actions and explains the context behind each of her significant behaviour. Even though her eldest son who is a step son, she treats him equal dignity here and has brought about the best ever possible attribute to his character. Each page of the book while flipping gives us a reminder of how our mother’s have toiled hard to bring us up. The dedication to her children via this book makes each and every one of us ponder the way we are with our parents and how our future progenies would be. 
             
  The dear part where she compassionately calls her children like “bacha log”, “bachaas” though being a colloquial language brings a smile to the reader when we continue to read the letter addressed.  The best part in which I fell in love was the way the author has given importance to all the tiny aspects of life. Especially the driver which their family had and how he had become a part of their day to day life. And his loss was so saddening to read.

           
The frankness of the author not only to her children while confessing but to the whole world is an admirable attribute to the world who read her works. Moreover this is book is rated best by me because it is a wonderful reflection of collection from the life happenings of the author. To conclude this is the best ever book where elders can gift to the young generation for it consists the element of the different people’s role expressed in our life time. The worth of each person in this book makes one ponder we must be thankful enough to each person who crosses our life.

In this article we will look how we can bring about a change in our diet to boost our hormones; dopamine and serotonin. These hormones are generally called happy hormones. As they boost the happiness Dopamine is involved in reward, motivation, memory, attention and more process.
