"Man's search for meaning in the holocaust"

 Last week, I read a book suggested by actor Kamal Hassan in Big Boss Season 6, "Man's Search for Meaning" written by Viktor Frankl. This book is based on the Holocaust in Nazi camps. Viktor is a Jewish psychological doctor who is struck in the Nazi camp in World war II . He shared his entire chronic prison experience of the camp.


I was wondering because this type of book, they wrote their sorrows and the burdens they faced in the camp. But he is different; not only that, all entire Jews are different. They are not bothering and worrying about what happened to them.They sing, get married, do the artwork, make poems, and chat with mates in a concentration camp. Viktor says how they survive in the camp; they all share one blanket for each of the seven members in low Celsius. They get water from melting snowballs. They cuddle each other for warming. When they are on the train, they have a sparrow view at each stopping station, praying not to be in Sobibor. Sobibor is in the area where World War is the gas station to kill Jews without mercy during World War.



When I read this book, my visualization was going to a movie I previously watched, "Schindler's List." Schindler's List shows that one of the German industrialists, Oskar Schindler, tried to save his Jewish workers from the Nazis. By the end of the war, the Nazis knew they would fall, so they decided to kill all the Jews.


Schindler knew this and tried to make a list about his work to save them from the Nazi massacre. He gave bribes to higher authorities of German officers and added his workers to his list to save them from Nazi eyes. He saved 1200 Jewish people. I very much felt that climax scene in this movie. He said to them that he didn't do enough for them. All the Jews convinced him that he did enough for them.

He is the only German guy to have a grave in Jerusalem. Still now, Jews are following him in his grave.

The lovable world is destroyed by people. This is the whole revolution of that world he saw in that world. Suddenly he is awake then he realizes that love i...

"Why always women?"

I felt very sad when I heard the news of singer Bhava Tharani's death due to the chronic illness of stomach cancer at her early age. I am addicted to her voice, especially the "Mayil Pola" song from Bharati; it is a pinnacle song for her. When I see female cancer patients in my radiation oncology department, more than 80% of them are homemakers. That's the reason they are affected by cancer. They are carrying their families, not themselves. This is the reason for them to have irregular eating habits, not maintaining a healthy BMI, going to bed late, and waking up early in the morning. Some of them married in their teenage years and also got pregnant at an early stage. This is the reason for their bodies undergoing irregular hormone changes. According to 2020 data, 78.5% of women had cervix and breast cancer. Both cancers highly result from irregular hormone secretion in the body. The last time I talked to my sister-in-law, I asked her, "Di...

"White Nights of Russia"

 Last year, I went to the Chennai Book Fair with a well-thought-out plan to buy numerous books. However, this time, I was occupied with my internship at college. Despite that, I arranged for my so-called friend to buy a book for me, which I selected through a video call at the book fair. When she asked for a book recommendation, my brain struggled to decide. Finally, a flash in my mind led me to suggest the novel "White Nights" written by Fyodor Dostoevsky. In response to her inquiry about why I recommended the novel and its summary, I explained that across various languages, filmmakers have adapted this story into over a hundred movies and short films. "White Nights" is a short novel, spanning four nights and one morning, with a dual hero narrative. The protagonist is a girl living with her grandmother in St. Petersburg, Russia, during the winter season. She falls in love with a man living upstairs, who communicates with her through letters. As she waits for his re...
