Nothing beats the joy of a good book. Books have the power to take us to places we have never been, places that are magical. They help us relive another time and take us on mind-blowing adventures – all without ever leaving home. Invigorating conversations across generations, bringing people of all walks of life together, books, and the discussion surrounding them are powerful tools in improving the quality of life for anyone. They give us insight into the minds of various people living their lives at various places. Maybe that’s why book clubs are now popping up at senior living communities all over the country. Or maybe it’s because reading has been linked to reduced stress, increased mental revitalization, and even improved memory.

4). Madhushala
I don’t think the author here needs any introduction, Harivansh Rai Bacchan’s work always spoke for himself. Madhushala is a book of 135 quatrains. Quatrains are verse of four lines similar to poetry. The poet tries to explain the complexity of life with his four instruments, which appear in almost every verse: madhu, madira or haala; saaki ; pyaala ; and of course madhushala, madiralaya. This highly metaphorical work is still proudly celebrated for its philosophical undertones and deep Sufi incantations.
