Sufi Comics: Rumi (Volume 2)



I was introduced to Sufi Comics at Bangalore Comic Con and I've been following them since then online.  I've been reading the standalone works of Sufi Comics since past few years and I absolutely love their work. They have played an important role in my life and in developing my relationship with Qur'an. I often visit their blog for spiritual inspiration and every time I feel I have to connect with the divine.

Sufi Comics: Rumi (Volume 2) was absolutely breathtaking. I loved the artwork. The style was breathtaking. The Quote of Rumi "Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion" is especially close to my heart.

This book makes an excellent gift for adults as well young children. We need more such books today which introduce the world to a new facet of Islam.

She is an alcoholic who like every other addict resolves that she is going to quit soon, that she's going to sort her life ASAP, which she fails to do. She is prone to blackouts. a stretch of time period when...

The Big Sleep: A review

Noir, in french, means black. When applied to movies, film-noir means a movie with black shades. The stories are gritty, the characters are amoral or downright evil, the protagonist is slick, street-trained and a cynic. Strictly speaking, Film-noir does not only refer to a genre of movies, it also refers to movies of a certain era. So a proper definition of film-noir would be movies with darker shades released in 1940s and 50s. Noir has been a popular genre and The Big Sleep occupies a special place in the genre. Perhaps, the movie itself is more popular than the book. I love mystery thrillers and this book was always on my to-read list. When the perfect opportunity arrived, I didn't blink twice and read the first chapter. And I was hooked. The big sleep is about Phillip Marlowe. Marlowe is a private detective who is hired by General Sternwood who wants to shake off someone who is trying to blackmail him. As he goes about trying to complete the task assigned to him, A murder ...
