A Heart Full of Hope

Image
It was very difficult for me to write a spoiler free review but I managed somehow. So, there will less discussion around story but I will still talk story plot. It's really engaging and entertaining. Characters are also interesting. Personally I find it very disturbing when I think about person who went through situation of human trafficking which eventually lead to the prostitution. Coming out of it and getting ahead in life is very difficult especially when you are not supported by anyone. Ahana on the other side got whole new family after getting out of trap of trafficking. What happened next will be revealed to those who get the copy ASAP 🤭. Overall great enjoying experience reading it and if you also find engaging fiction attractive this book is for you. And the beautiful cover, compact size handy for travel read along with bigger font size are some of the plus points or additional advantages to be considered while choosing this.

Reboot

I was expecting journey of degree and job like all others but when I faced unexpected failure, it shook me totally. It was journey where I learnt to come out of such unexpected situations with better life than I may had in normal journey. It's very difficult task and mostly one doesn't achieve success as we see in movies. I am also not having such success yet but atleast to handle those situations and coming out of them is biggest achievement in itself. In life we know that we will do 10th, 12th then Degree and then Job with stable career growth. We know how to get success and continue for growth but how to handle break, turning or total U-turn in this career journey. We always have predefined path of school, college, job/business, merriage etc. But don't even know if other path is there until we face blockage in this journey. And then finding out different path or creating it, when not available, is most difficult task for most of the people. Don't worry so

Concentration and Detachment

Image
The two most important things/concepts/skills required for all humanity. All students and now with social media everyone is facing the problem of concentration. But it is beyond the normal focus we talk about. Concentration is deeper concept which can change 360° view of life if one can grasp it as the way to live. The deepen the concentration goes the higher layers the life reveals to us. Detachment on the other hand is super power if one can possess, can have freedom from all the mental pain. Also can perform the task better with deeper concentration. As a student of life we can use these concepts as tools to live peaceful and successful life. This book is smallest of all I have and still took longest time compared to its size. As sometimes only few words are enough to explain the deepest & most compex subjects but one must be ready to pay full attention to every word and think about it regularly for long time to get real knowledge. The illustrations are on point. Au

A Man Called Ove

Just after reading first few chapters of this I understood why it's a very praised and famous book. For the first time I liked the detailed description given of every situation. It was slow music which we listen often in restaurant or elevator. Mostly people ignore it but when we give it attention we realise how soothing it is. I laughed, wept, got angry and surprised with different situations. The simplest journey if narrated on point can hook the reader till the end. This book has proven it.  I like it how story transports back and forth whenever Ove remembers past. The cute neighbour woman, silent arrogent cat just like Ove and the over enthusiastic reporter girl are some of my favourite characters and of course Sonia is the one that can't be ignored. The perception we have (or at least I used to have before) [about the rude or dull and silent people who never smile or talk more than required] will change after reading this. I personally have gone thorough such s

Tales of simpler times

First of all even though I have already shared a reel to show the beautiful Book; I need to mention how amazingly Book is designed. From the Book size to Font size and style, Book cover to illustrations everything is so pleasing and mesmerizing that I was just observing & feeling that for a long time. A story is memories of emotions experienced by people which are expressed via beautiful words wrapped up with meanings imitating those feelings. But all this works only when there is essence of truth in it.  Everytime we feel the story, we ultimately feel the emotions having common truth which we all share as Human and as Life itself. The same thing happens with this book. A collective experience of truth and emotions are shared by reades even if they are not from Mauritius. The praising words from the comments of facebook page provide proof to that. I'm in love with short stories. But when it is told with such simple and lucid narration I just become part of the story

Be the Leader Not the Boss

For the purpose of getting the knowledge of the culture and history I prefer the original Ramayan and Mahabharatas Itihaas. But when it comes to learning and picking up the good from everything, I acknowledge all the versions of them without any opinions about right & wrong or endless debates about how it should be... (society, rules, lifestyle etc.) Here, the book also focus on learning from Mahabharat and Ramayan, that too for the corporate world. The place where your most important task is to handle people. Especially when you are in the upper position or in leadership role. More than reading I was feeling like I am attending a seminar or talk in Institute about the topics of learning management skills from historical case studies. I just love the way discussion happened in book deeply with analysing different scenarios for a particular problem and situation. First I thought it'll be another book of management which takes inspiration from our Itihas for explainin
