Behind every steady home stands a man who carries more than anyone truly sees. He wakes before the sun, shoulders responsibilities like a silent mountain, and walks through storms without letting his family feel a drop of rain. In his hands lies the strength that keeps a house standing, yet in his heart lives a tenderness he rarely allows himself to show. He grants wishes quietly, placing his family’s dreams above his own, slipping out of the priority list so others can shine.

But even the strongest trees need rest, and even the tallest waves break when the tide becomes too heavy. Men are no different. They also feel the weight of expectations, the pressure of always being “strong”. They also deserve a shoulder to lean on, a moment to breathe, and a space to simply exist without armour.

On this Men’s Day, the Literary Society extends heartfelt wishes to every man who gives more than he receives and stands even when no one notices. May you find the support, understanding, and care you have longed for.

Twenty-five years after its formation, Jharkhand stands tall with a voice that is proud and determined. The land once known only for dense forests and ancient hills now shines with growing cities, new institutions, and rising opportunities. Nature has gifted this state coal-rich soil, majestic waterfalls, and tribal traditions that feel like living poetry, and together they have shaped a unique identity that continues to strengthen with every passing year.

Yet even in this journey of progress, some paths remain unfinished. There are places where development hasn’t reached deeply enough, and voices that still wait to be heard. Jharkhand’s true rise lies in unity—in people coming together like strands of the same thread to weave a stronger, brighter tomorrow. When effort becomes collective, even the most difficult mountains turn into milestones.

On 25th Foundation Day, the Literary Society sends heartfelt wishes to every citizen of Jharkhand. May the state continue to grow with pride, harmony, and hope, and may its people always carry forward the spirit that makes this land extraordinary.

”Children see magic because they look for it.” -Christopher Moore

Children don’t just observe the world; they question it with their hearts wide open. In their questions lies the magic that we, as adults, forget to see. With curious eyes they see, with open hands they welcome love, and with open arms they give it back. Somewhere between their laughter and our memories, we realise how fleeting that innocence was, and what we once were before the world grew louder.

As fruits are shaped by care, so are we by childhood. Children can be envisioned as the blooming buds of a nation’s garden, the truest hopes of tomorrow. Yet even a garden in full bloom can hide wilted petals, unseen and uncared for. Child abuse and labour are the weeds that only genuine love and empathy can root out.

On this Children’s Day, the Literary Society reminds you to rediscover the magic you left behind and ensure that every child around us is safe and smiling. After all, it’s the children around us who will lead what we leave. Wishing you a very Happy and lively Children’s Day.

Gone Girl is a story of deception, marriage, and media manipulation, where love curdles into suspicion and truth becomes a weapon. Gillian Flynn’s novel is a razor-sharp psychological thriller that dissects modern relationships and the façades people build to survive them. The film adaptation, directed by David Fincher, mirrors this darkness through meticulous visuals and chilling performances, but the novel’s layered narration and biting inner monologues cut even deeper. Together, they expose how easily perception can destroy reality.

The Movie vs. the Book

1. Amy Dunne’s Character
In the book, Amy is terrifyingly brilliant a woman both victim and villain, whose diary and dialogue reveal calculated rage against expectation.
On screen, Rosamund Pike embodies her with icy perfection, transforming psychological menace into cinematic power, though some nuance of her inner voice is lost.

2. Marriage and Media
Flynn’s prose dissects marriage as performance and media as spectacle, exposing how image outweighs truth.
The film captures this with slick precision camera flashes, news panels, and public masks but offers less of Flynn’s biting social commentary.

3. The Ending
Both versions end in uneasy entrapment Nick and Amy bound by lies, their marriage a mirror of manipulation and need.
The book leaves readers disturbed by its cold logic; the film delivers the same chill through its haunting final shot.

While the film grips with its sleek suspense and visual control, the novel’s true horror lies in its words the thoughts we hide, the stories we tell, and the masks we refuse to take off.

Which unsettles you more the book’s psychological depth that twists truth, or the film’s chilling precision that makes deceit look beautiful?

The Chronicles of Narnia is a tale of faith, courage, and imagination, where ordinary children step through a wardrobe into a world of magic and moral struggle. C.S. Lewis’s novels blend fantasy with spiritual reflection, exploring redemption, sacrifice, and hope. The film adaptations bring this wonder to life with sweeping visuals and grand battles, though the novels’ quiet wisdom and moral depth remain their truest magic. Together, they remind us that belief itself is the greatest adventure of all.

The Movie vs. the Book

1. Narrative Voice
The novels speak directly to the reader, filled with warmth, wit, and moral reflection, turning every quest into a lesson in faith and bravery.
The films translate this through vivid imagery and spectacle, replacing the storyteller’s charm with visual grandeur and emotional immediacy.

2. Characters and Themes
In the books, the Pevensie children’s growth mirrors timeless virtues courage, forgiveness, and faith. Aslan stands as both mentor and divine mystery.
The films emphasize heroism and emotional bonds, presenting the characters with more realism but softening some of Lewis’s spiritual undertones.

3. The World of Narnia
Lewis’s prose builds Narnia through imagination and moral allegory a realm as symbolic as it is magical.
The films bring this vision to life with stunning effects, capturing its beauty but losing the quiet wonder between the lines.

4. The Ending
In the books, endings often feel like awakenings returns from fantasy that deepen one’s understanding of faith and self.
The films offer closure through triumph and farewell, focusing on emotion and legacy rather than Lewis’s layered allegory.

While the films dazzle with adventure and spectacle, the novels endure through reflection and meaning reminding us that Narnia is not just a world to visit, but a truth to believe in.

Which lingers longer for you the films’ breathtaking magic of Narnia, or the books’ quiet call to believe in worlds unseen?

“Realization of truth is higher than all else. Higher still is truthful living.”

Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s life was a reflection of the belief that rituals fade, but a pure conscience endures. What defines us is not where we begin, but how truthfully we walk our path.

In a world still shadowed by division, his words echoing through time remind us that peace begins where pride ends. Even today, injustice and corruption seep through society like ink on untouched paper — subtle, but hard to erase. Authorities may build bridges of reform, but real change begins when our hearts align with his message of oneness and selfless action. He saw nature as a sacred bond, but our neglect has left the skies fevered and seasons astray. If we fail to embrace truth and unity now, we may soon find ourselves moving through life like shadows present, but not alive.

As we celebrate his birth anniversary this Guru Nanak Jayanti, the Literary Society urges you to reflect the divinity within you through your actions and compassion for those around you.
Wishing everyone a thoughtful and joyful Guru Nanak Jayanti.

We waited, and now we are on the top. Dreams have turned into reality, and pride shines brighter than ever. This is not just a win; it is the sound of a nation rising through its daughters.

Every shot and every roar on that field carried stories of struggle and hope. Those once told to stay behind doors now open them for generations to walk free. Their journey was built on courage, sleepless nights, and the strength to never give up. They turned every doubt into belief and every challenge into victory.

Today, India does not just lift a trophy. It lifts the spirit of its women and the faith of millions who dared to dream. This triumph belongs to every girl who once looked at the sky and thought, maybe someday, they will reach it. From Literary Society, with pride and love, congratulations Champions. You have made India’s heart shine.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a story of secrets, vengeance, and truth, where journalist Mikael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander unravel a mystery buried in corruption and violence. Stieg Larsson’s novel is a dark, intricate thriller that exposes systemic abuse and moral decay beneath the surface of society. The film adaptations capture this tension through cold visuals, stark performances, and haunting realism, but the novel’s psychological complexity and slow-burning depth remain unparalleled. Together, they remind us that truth often hides in the shadows we fear to face.

The Movie vs. the Book

1. Narrative Tone
The novel weaves investigative detail with emotional restraint, immersing readers in a grim world of power and exploitation.
The films condense this narrative, relying on atmosphere and pace icy landscapes, dim light, and brooding silence to evoke unease more viscerally than intellectually.

2. Lisbeth Salander’s Character
In the book, Lisbeth is a paradox brilliant yet vulnerable, fierce yet wounded. Her trauma and intellect drive the story’s heart.
On screen, she becomes a symbol of rebellion and resilience more visual intensity, less inner narration, yet equally magnetic and unforgettable.

3. Mikael Blomkvist and the Mystery
Larsson’s novel builds the investigation methodically, layering clues and commentary on journalism, gender, and justice.
The films streamline the mystery, emphasizing suspense and moral confrontation over the slow revelation of truth.

4. The Ending
The novel concludes with both justice and isolation truth revealed, but wounds still unhealed.
The films remain faithful yet heighten the emotional closure, turning reflection into cinematic finality.

While the films captivate with icy precision and haunting performances, the novel’s true power lies in its complexity Larsson’s fearless portrayal of truth-seeking in a corrupt world. Both reveal that real strength lies not in vengeance, but in survival and defiance.

Which leaves the deeper mark the book’s relentless pursuit of truth through thought, or the film’s chilling portrayal of justice carved in silence?

छठ पर्व निःस्वार्थ प्रेम, त्याग और श्रद्धा का प्रतीक है, जहाँ एक माँ अपने परिवार की खुशी और समृद्धि के लिए कठोर व्रत रखती है। बिना अन्न और जल के भी उसके चेहरे पर भक्ति की चमक और विश्वास की मुस्कान बनी रहती है। घाटों पर दीपों की पंक्तियाँ और सूर्य को अर्घ्य अर्पित करने की परंपरा केवल एक अनुष्ठान नहीं, बल्कि उस ममता की सजीव अभिव्यक्ति है जो अपने बच्चों के सुख के लिए हर कठिनाई सह लेती है। छठ में माँ की भक्ति और ममता मिलकर आस्था का सबसे सुंदर रूप दर्शाती हैं।

जो लोग रोज़ी-रोटी की तलाश में घर से दूर रहते हैं, यह पर्व उन्हें अपने परिवार की गोद में लौट आने का निमंत्रण देता है। छठ के दिनों में जब घाटों पर दीपों की लौ झिलमिलाती है, तो उसमें अपनों से मिलने की खुशी और बचपन की यादें चमक उठती हैं। अपने साथी के संग घाट पर खड़े होकर सूर्य को अर्घ्य अर्पित करना केवल एक पूजा नहीं, बल्कि अपनत्व और भावनाओं का पवित्र संगम होता है।

लिटरेरी सोसाइटी परिवार की ओर से आप सभी को छठ पर्व की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएँ। यह पावन पर्व आपके जीवन में श्रद्धा, सद्भाव और प्रकृति तथा परिवार के प्रति गहरा प्रेम जगाए।

Pride and Prejudice is a story of wit, class, and self-discovery, where Elizabeth Bennet defies societal expectations and learns that true understanding lies beyond first impressions. Jane Austen’s novel is a timeless exploration of pride, prejudice, and the pursuit of genuine love. The film adaptations bring this world to life with lush visuals, elegant costumes, and subtle performances, but the novel’s sharp humor and psychological insight remain unmatched. Together, they remind us that love’s truest form emerges through humility and perception.

The Movie vs. the Book

1. Narrative Voice
The novel sparkles with Austen’s irony and keen social commentary, allowing readers to inhabit Elizabeth’s lively perspective. The films translate this through tone and dialogue, but often soften Austen’s biting wit in favor of romance and visual grace.

2. Elizabeth Bennet’s Character
In the book, Elizabeth is intelligent, independent, and delightfully flawed, a woman navigating judgment and emotion with wit and courage. On screen, she’s portrayed with warmth and strength, but some versions focus more on charm and less on the inner conflict that drives her growth.

3. Darcy and the Love Story
Austen’s romance unfolds through tension, misjudgment, and gradual understanding, making the final union deeply earned. Films heighten the romantic appeal, gazes, rain-soaked confessions, and sweeping scores, capturing passion but losing some of the novel’s subtle social nuance.

4. The Ending
The novel’s resolution feels like a triumph of both personal and societal love, without sacrificing integrity or wit. The films emphasize the emotional closure, offering a more cinematic satisfaction than Austen’s restrained irony.

While the films enchant with beauty and emotion, the novel’s strength lies in its precision and wit, Austen’s pen dissecting society as deftly as it celebrates love. Both remind us that true connection begins when pride yields to understanding.

Which lingers longer for you: Austen’s razor-sharp words that reveal the heart, or the film’s radiant portrayal of love defying convention?
