Although I wanted to read it before, but, I could get the opportunity only when the Author of this book approached me for a review. Regardless to say that my review is unbiased and honest.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #5e5e5e; font-family: times; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: times;">This book tells us about how Climate Change is responsible for the changes in bioactive constituents of plants.

named Mary, who used to live in India with her parents, but their parents were so busy and didn't have time for Mary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Little girl’s life even got worse when her parents died of cholera and the she was sent to a very strange Mansion in UK
where her uncle resided.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">It was a big mansion, where her uncle used to live with his
servants, but most of the doors were closed and
she was not allowed to move around. Her aunt was also no more, and the little girl had to live all alone </span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 18.6667px;">in that strange house</span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">. She could not talk to anybody except Martha, who was among the staff in that house, and Martha was kind to her. Martha had a brother Dickon, who was very kind towards animals and birds, which fascinated Marry. </span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">She used to wait for him eagerly.</span></p>

During the night Mary used to listen to crying of a boy, but whenever she used to ask
about him, everyone used to hide it. One day Mary decided to follow the sound, and to her surprise, she saw a boy of her age lying in a bed. Later on she
came to know that the boy, Colin, was the son of her uncle, and he seemed to be very
week and cranky.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">He had a misconception that he was suffering from a disease and very sooner he was
going to die. Day by day Mary became inquisitive about the secret garden, and she
wanted to have access to it. While wandering nearby to the garden she got the
keys and decided to revive it. Martha helped her to get flower seeds through
Dickon, and both worked very hard to revive it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

started sharing positive words to him. Eventually, he also started believing that one fine day
he would be capable of standing on his own and no sooner he is going to die. </span><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">He started going out secretly with Mary and Dickon. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 14pt;">The story shows how the positivity of the little girl changes the old silent Mansion
to a sweet home and brings Happiness in everyone's life.</span></p><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="background: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">My Review:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">The Secret Garden is definitely a good read for
children with a positive message in it. As far as the writing and
story is concerned, I really liked the
storyline. Best part that I liked was the climax. The author has written it so beautifully. There were few words which I feel were difficult to understand, but, positive part is that it would finally help the child to improve their word power.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #5e5e5e; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">What all things I liked about the book</span></b><span style="outline: 0px; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;"></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;">Sequence of the events are

around three important characters, viz. Christine(the main character), who is
amnesiac patient and forgets almost everything after she wakes up in the
morning, Ben, Christine’s husband, and Dr. Nash, a neuropsychologist who had
heard about Christine through a case study in one of the lectures he had
attended, and was counselling Christine’s case. Christine used to forget
everything about her past life, every time she went to sleep. She cannot recall
about the person who she finds in her bed when she wakes up and she gets
shocked when she sees herself in the mirror and finds herself older that what
she was thinking of. This is how the story starts. Dr. Nash seems to be helping
her to get her memory back as much as possible, but he asks her not to share it
with Ben that they are meeting. Dr. Nash also suggests Christine to start
writing about her day in a journal so that she could refer it and recall at
least what she wrote. Dr. Nash also promises her to remind her every day that
she has to write or else she won’t even remember to write unless she finds her
journal because she had to hid it from her husband Ben as Nash had suggested
her. Then Christine recalls of her best friend, Claire, but she thinks of the
reason why they are not in touch now or why even her best friend is not
concerned if Christine has forgotten everything and why she not even tries to
contact Christine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Before I Go To Sleep is definitely a good thriller book which will keep the
suspense till end and would make reader engaged and it would not bore you. As
far as the writing and story is concerned, I loved the storyline and as it
has been mentioned at the end of the book that there could be lot of amnesiac patients
who actually go through this kind situation. It could be someone’s real life
story as well. It is so realistic and so relatable.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #5e5e5e; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />

The most beautiful part that I liked about this book is the climax. Author has
so beautifully written it that it would keep you nerves looking to find out
what actually was the meaning of everything that has been mentioned in the
starting of the story in this book. Author has used easy to understand English.<br />

proud mother of two little adorable daughters. I am currently an Entrepreneur
with almost 2 decades of experience in IT.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px;">As an Engineering graduate, I worked with many MNCs for 14+ years
at Bengaluru. I have no love to settle outside India though I travelled various
countries before marriage. Being a nuclear family, after my 2<sup>nd</sup>
daughter’s birth, it was highly challenging to manage my personal and work
commitments. As my priorities changed, I decided to quit my highly paid IT job
when my kids were 3.5 and 2 years old. </span><br /><br />

that I can do the work that I love when I find time without any stress and
pressure. This led to the birth of EliteSouls Consulting Services at Bengaluru
in 2016. Initially, I started an online academy and then slowly added project
delivery services and expanded our service portfolio as I managed to get
additional bandwidth. As of now, we are operating from Bengaluru and New York.
Have made multi-crore revenue but still long way to go.</span></span><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 120%;"><br /></span></div>

they didn’t expected this self-help book from a technical IT architect who has
authored 15+ technical research papers. Their appreciation and wishes meant a
lot to me for the time I invested in writing this book amidst my family and
work commitments. </span><br />

I found the perfect answer after many unknown questions after many years, I
decided to write it for the young generation to read and get benefitted out of
it.</span><br />

As I had
to face many struggles from my early childhood days, I was starving to claim
success and to lead a happy life. I was passionate to get a highly paid IT job
to close all our debts and my dream came true when I was 27 years. I had a
great satisfaction about my achievement but still I wasn’t feeling happy about
it. I had no clue why I wasn’t happy in spite of bringing all my dreams to
reality. I then realized Success is different from Happiness. That is the time
the real SEARCH triggered in me. I got married and after two kids, my
responsibilities tripled yet my search didn’t settle down. I usually don’t read
books but I started reading to understand the real meaning of Happiness. During
my research, life had many twists which also helped me to understand and
experience the real meaning of Happiness and Success. Afterall Struggle and
Success are the two-sides of a coin. I think, I have experienced both which
helped me to find the real happiness secret.</span></span></div>

feeling of satisfaction and achievement and well-being. So, I decided to write
a self-help book about my experience and use some of my personal life
experience to characterize the mother character. But I decided to write this
book as a fiction because I feel that the importance of a 2 line moral is
realized only if there is a story to emotionally bind the readers to it. </span></span></div>

for many years and when my search was successful and I got a beautiful feeling
of satisfaction and achievement and well-being. So, I decided to write a
self-help book about my experience and use some of my personal life experience
to characterize the mother character. But I decided to write this book as a
fiction because I feel that the importance of a 2 line moral is realized only
if there is a story to emotionally bind the readers to it. My 2nd book about
Women is due to publishing during the year 2020. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>Summary:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">The book "The Girl with Golden Thoughts" has been written in Hindi, but I was confused with the title given to the book. I mean, author could have given some Hindi title or he could have translated the same title into Hindi, but after reading this book, I got the reason behind it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">This is a story of three friends Alisha, Vyom and Bhaskar. Alisha was a very beautiful girl whereas Vyom was a playboy and Bhaskar was little introvert and used to find it very difficult when he had to talk to a girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">All of them studied in IIT Delhi and belonged to rich families and so they decided to join their family businesses. During their studies, Vyom and Alisha fell in love with each other but Bhaskar remained single, so Alisha decided to find a girl for Bhaskar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">After completion of their studies, they planned a trip to Shimla for vacation. They met Nirjara there, a very clever reporter, and Bhaskar used to like her. Since Bhaskar couldn't get enough courage to talk to Nirjara, he approached Vyom to help him out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">As per the plan, Vyom started showing interest in Nirjara and she too started showing interest in him. Day by day Vyom was getting closer to Nirjara which was becoming a big concern for Alisha.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">One day, both Bhaskar and Vyom decided to tell Nirjara about the truth so that Nirjara would breakup with Vyom where in Bhaskar would come into picture to support her emotionally and this way he could win Nirjara's heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">But, nothing happened as per their plan as Nirjara insulted Bhaskar since he was Vyom's best friend so how could she trust him as well. She refused Bhaskar's support and this was how they failed miserably.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Once Alisha got to know all such things, she decided to help her friend and she made another powerful plan and this time the plan was far better than Bhaskar's plan, but as everyone knows about the saying that if you want something then you must lose something first, and in this case he risked his friendship with Vyom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Earlier he was not ready with the plan, but later on he agreed to do that and from here the main story started with so many questions like whether Bhaskar would be able to impress Nirjara? Whether their friendship remained as it forever? Whether Nirjara could ever forgive Vyom? What revenge Nirjara would take from Vyom?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">To find answers for all these questions, you will have to read the whole book, but before buying, please check my review for this book.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>My Review:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">"The Girl with Golden Thoughts" will give you an essence of suspense with friendship. I really liked the story plot and I hat off to the author's imaginations. The best part of the story is its sequential events which will force you to think each time in a different direction. After certain events you would start thinking that Alisha and Nirjara had shaken their hands, but after sometimes you may end up believing that Bhaskar might be bluffing with Alisha and Vyom, or Vyom would cheat Alisha for Nirjara. So, these kind of questions may arise in your mind which is because of the storyline and the way it is conveyed so wisely.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">All the characters have equal contribution to the story, be it anyone. I really liked its realistic ending unlike typical bollywood movies.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">The strength of this book is its story. Initially the story moves in different directions, but at the end it merges into one and this way it holds its readers till the end. At the end of this book, a very strong and good message has also been conveyed to the society which was like a cherry on the top of the cake.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>What all things I liked about the book:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">As I have already discussed, its storyline.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">It contains a very nice message at the end.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Language used in the book was very easy, author has used all common English word which use in general during any conversation which is also a plus point, but I found it a negative point as well(will discuss later).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Though the title was very unclear to me at first, but author has made it very clear in the book that why he had to use this kind of title.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>What all things I disliked about it:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Some editing mistakes exists, like towards end Alisha was misprinted as Nirjara which was creating confusions while reading, though it was getting cleared in the next para, but it did create confusions.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Whenever I take a book for reading, I always look forward to learn something new and the same was for this book as well. i was expecting lesser known Hind words in it, but maybe author wanted to make it user friendly and probably this might be the reason that he has used English words like complete, Casanova as it is instead of its Hindi versions.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">If you like happy but realistic ending unlike masal movies, then go for it. You will surely gonna like it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">You may read it because of its strong storyline, it won't disappoint you and will bind you till the end.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">If you are thinking to start reading Hindi novels, then you may choose "The Girl with Golden Thoughts".</span></li>

<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">If you are a very vivid Hindi novel reader, then you might get disappointed by the fact that general English words have been used mostly, but if you can keep this aside then you will surely enjoy the read.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>My Ratings:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I would like to rate 4.5 out of 5 stars for this book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Reducing 0.5 just for the fact that common English words have been used in it otherwise it was a great read for me.</span></div>

Search of Happiness is a great lesson to the readers who get confused between
happiness and success. It gives a clear picture about the differences exist
between the both terms having a thin-line difference.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">Basically, it
is a story of a strong headed mother, Shivani, who lives in Bangalore with her
family. Shivani’s family was a very happy family until and unless, they had to
face an unpleasant incident that had happened to her daughter (Anila), who lost
ears along with her all happiness, which was gone with her ears and because of
this incident, Shivani realized that her daughter got too scared of living a
normal life as she started differentiating herself from others, who have been
leading their life normally.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">Here the
challenge begins for Shivani to bring her back to a normal life as she was
going through the times that scare her to live normally.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">I truly believe in this quote because life gives chance to those only who has a deep strength and courage to bear all the pain. So, be proud of yourself that you have been chosen among all. Anila refused to go to her school as her friends made fun of her disability. She stopped laughing and started to stay alone in her room.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">Looking into Anila's situation, Shivani decided to bring her daughter back into a normal life, and in order to do that she planned a holiday trip for the whole family.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">During their vacation, Shivani showed a different picture to her daughter about the life. She described her that the Almighty had found something special in her and that was why He had gifted her those tough times because "Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out our courage and strength".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 106%; margin: 0px;">She</span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> further explained her how each
of us is unique among all and that the creator has gifted each one of us a unique talent,
which makes us different from others. One just needs to recognize it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Shivani</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> has touched every aspects of
life and explained what real happiness is all about and how it is being
misunderstood by most of us. She tried every possible way to make her understand, to bring
her back into a normal life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">But the </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">question is, Will Anila be able
to bring courage? Will she understand the importance of a positive attitude? If
at all yes, then what all lessons her mother taught her that made her to lead a normal life?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>My Review:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As I have said earlier</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> in this article that it’s a back to back good read for me. It touched
my heart because Shivani resembles with my mother, always supportive and a strong
headed personality. In my family, my mum is the bravest among all. I so loved
the book that after finishing this book, I, all of a sudden and with no reason, called
up my mother. So, this is the emotional part that book could successfully
build into a readers’ mind, as it did to me as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As far as</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> the writing
and story is concerned, I really loved the storyline and it could be someone’s
real life story as well. It is so realistic and so relatable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The most beautiful part is that there were two stories going on, first, the daughter's story who was facing the bitter side of her life and second, her mother who had already faced the same side. However, despite all the challenges, she again stood up and applied all her experiences that she gained from her past-life. She tried her best to make her daughter understand that Parents can't be with their children all the time, but, I strongly believe that their knowledge, their lessons and experiences, which they share with us, do stay with us forever because at each and every time, you have to be your own hero.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>What all things I liked about the book</b></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The main reason that it touched my heart is that this book has shown the power of a mother, the one who can do anything for her child.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The parallel story of a mother's past struggle and a daughter's current struggle.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I also like Shivani's husband's character which showed how supportive husband and father he was.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">And, yes of course, even being a self help, it requires very less effort to complete.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>What all things I disliked about it</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">The only thing that I had disliked about it was that initially it was a bit priced as I had paid 349 INR for 179 pages. However, the latest price on Amazon is 222 INR which is quite reasonable.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>Reason to read it</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">If you want to realize the extent that a mother can go for the betterment and welfare of her child/children, then do read "A Journey in Search of Happiness", this would meet your realization.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><b>Any Reason to skip it</b></span></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I didn't find any reason to skip it. I can't even say that this book being a self-help and if you are newbie in reading then you may skip, because this book has only 179 pages with a really inspiring story.</span></li>
</ul>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">it’s a short story of 13 pages written by Jay Path. This story
is based on a teenager, who has a lot of issues with her parents. She felt that her
parents are not as normal as other's parents are, for a say, her parents don’t go out as much as other's parents usually do. They have had a drinking
issue as they are too addicted to be alcoholic at every instance that she always finds them guzzling down bottles and bottles of red wine.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; margin: 0px;">It was a good attempt
to create suspense, but, while reaching middle of its section, only that I could have guessed is "what is going
on". I believe that the short stories should be unique, I mean that the short stories usually
have a very few pages. Thus, it has to be something interesting and having attractive points to enhance the reader's curiosity, which further makes the reader anxious about what is going to be happened at the end of the story.</span></div>

never thought writing was my skill or forte. But it was my desire to spread

spread my word and thoughts around. The subject is so close to my heart and
intent so strong to bring a balance in lives of people struggling between the
worlds, that I tried my hand at writing. </span></span></span></span></div>

<b>Ankita: </b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 120%; margin: 0px;">I have been
doing workshops and programs for parents, kids and corporates on Digital

subject was sown, but it was only in the last 7-8 months, that the book was
finally given a shape. </span></div>

<b>Ankita: </b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 120%; margin: 0px;">Well, like I said, to me the intention to spread my thoughts and help
people around was the biggest driver. So maybe to have a clear idea as to what
is the motive behind writing a book and identifying what outcome does the
writer want from it should be well thought upon when someone decides to write
the book. Rest will take its flow. </span><br />

<b>Ankita: </b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 120%; margin: 0px;">Writing
requires a specific discipline, and you pick up momentum as you write more and
more. For me personally, various life situations, and work commitments often
broke this momentum and messed up with my writing routine. It was only in the
last few months, when I made writing the book and finishing it a priority, that
the flow was attained. </span></div>

started to read books when I was in college. I read some typical Indian novels
(most of them were romances except immortals of meluha). Then I went to read
some sidney sheldon, Dan Brown, JK Rowling, Stephen King, George RR Martin. I
felt that Indian literature needs to up their game in storytelling. I decided
to write one story for fun, but this story slowly consumed me and I have
written 350+ pages before I know it.</span></div>

<b>Abishek: </b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 120%; margin: 0px;">Please
don't! You can't pursue a career in writing that easily. A debutant author will
face a lot of depressing moments and if you don't have a backup job, then you
will never survive. Have a backup job and use a small part of that salary to
support your writing. Once you find yourself in the spotlight (that is when
people expecting to buy your book on the day of its release) you can quit your
job and be successful. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Summary:</span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Firstly,
I would like to congratulate the author for focusing on the least discussed issue,
but the irony is that it is suffered by each one of us and we don’t even know
or may be don’t like to talk about that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You
might get an idea that what I am talking about. Yes, that’s right I am talking
about one kind of addiction which is accepted socially. That addiction is “Gadget
Addiction”, and when I say gadget addition, it includes every electronic device,
be it T.V, mobiles, iPod etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">If
you compare the lifestyle of people which they used to have a decade back to
the lifestyle now, you will find a huge difference. We are so rapidly moving
towards digitization. Everyone now-a-days is promoting digitization, but we
should keep one point in our mind that every coin has two sides. Blind and
excessive use of anything is very dangerous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We
should start to think or act now about where we are heading and what would be
its adverse effects, before it is too late to realize. This age is an
informational age where everything can be done through online. Any damn
information can be availed through Google. I work in an IT firm but cannot
think a day without Google. Whenever we have any questions which we cannot ask
to anyone,we ask it to Google and Google provides us so many answers for one question.
It’s amazing and I hat off to them to maintain such a huge data.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Likewise,
you all might also be dependent on technology and the online services.These
online services make our day easy and comfortable, but have we ever thought
that how much dependent we have become on technology. For instance, whenever we
start craving, we just take our phone out and start ordering from those utility
Apps.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Similarly,
whenever we face any health issue, most of us prefer to first search the
symptoms in google and match it, wherein 90% of the contents are not authorized
contents. Even if few authorized medical contents exist, they get filtered out
due to SEO. So, the article you are referring to improve your medical condition
may go worst. Sometimes, simple headache may be misinterpreted as brain tumor
through that wrong information.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Have
you ever thought of how many hours do you use your phone in a day, if not, then
you may download such apps which show how many hours you have used your phone
and if you go into details then you will get which app is the most used one. I
did this and got shocked by the numbers shown in the screen. That is true, we
unintentionally use our phone. We don’t even realize that when the notification
pops up and wherever we are, even if in a meeting, we just pull it out and
glare the screen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Worst
problem is that we glare the screen at night as well after we go to bed. But
the problem is that no one talks about its bad impact. We know that mobile
emits very harmful rays so we should not <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>always keep it
near to us (even phone manuals have these things written), but we take our best
friend everywhere, some people take it to the washroom as well, but nobody is
talking about this, everyone is talking about the hi-tech technology being used
in it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Whatever
I just wrote is not my point of view, it’s the author who made me aware. To be
honest, everyone knows about it but very few take pause and see where we are
heading.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So
we should thank Ankita who took a pause and analyzed not only the cause but
also how to prevent it, because things have changed and we know that we cannot
live without phone which neither she is saying, but she is showing us ways to
make a balance use of it, which truly makes sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I
won’t exaggerate it but it’s been a while that I haven’t read a good
self-help. Honestly, I loved the book
because it has message of not to avoid phones but how to use it smartly. I am
using the word “phone” here because only electronic gadget that I have is phone.
I loved the way author has written this book, it has very small paragraphs which
give you power to go on till the end. Honestly, I never felt boring at any
point of time while reading. It has very small chapters as well in a sequential
manner as it doesn’t jump to the solution. Author has explained in a step by
step manner that how technology made us its slave and how we can maintain a
balance between technology and life.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She
has also enlightened the fact that how we have made ourselves isolated as a
result of it. She has shown how the connection between nature and human has
vanished, which I found rare as most of the books talk about the ways to get
rid of dependency with gadgets, but no one focuses on nature who always
nurtures us. She encourages her readers to get connected with it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<li>The book tries to connect you with nature which I found the best thing about it.</li>
<li>I have already mentioned it earlier that it makes you realize that it's high time to reduce your dependency with technology.</li>
<li>Agenda of it is to reduce or make a balance between tech and life, unlike other books, it shows us ways to maintain a discipline rather than just to avoid it.</li>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Before
discussing about the book, I would like to congratulate the debutant author for
his first book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
conspiracy unknown, as the title suggests, is a story that talks about conspiracies,
betrayals, disloyalties. The story is very much in sync with the title. The
story revolves around two time periods, BCE (Before Clearance Existence) i.e. past
days and ACE (After Clearance Existence) i.e. present days in the story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Past days
talk about ancient cultures, about kings and kingdoms whereas present days talk about modern age. In ancient days, conspiracies and betrayal against royal
families were very common and author has tried to build up such conspiracies
through his imaginations.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Being a
history lover, I know the story of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mauryan_rulers"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Mauryan
Emperor</span></a> and the first part resembles with Mauryans only. Rasabind
Moriya resembles with Bindusara Maurya who was the son of the great
Chandragupta Maurya, founder of Maurya Emperor, which resembles with the character as
ragupta in the book. Likewise, many such resemblances can be found but with
modifications. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The story
starts with the birth of Prince Hisoka. Everyone was very happy about the news until the naming ceremony in which a group of strangers tried to attack the royal family and
from here series of conspiracies came. After that mysterious event, an
investigation committee was formed. Kosal and Koyal, who were twin sisters, were also a part of the investigation. These two sisters had extraordinary gifts.
Kosal had an extraordinary gift of deduction, whereas Koyal had an extra
ordinary gift of detection. As the investigation went deeper, layers and layers
of conspiracy and disloyalty came in front of royal family and that lead to a
great war.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Whereas, in
present days the story revolves around Sebastian Stein and his father.
Everything was going well until Sebastian was attacked by the agent of secret
society who worked for a very powerful organization. Also, that organization was
spread all over the world, but, fortunately he was saved by his father’s friend. Later on, Sabastian came to know that his father’s friend also used to work
with the organization, and that his father got murdered by the organization only,
but the question is why his father was killed and why they wanted to kill Sebastian now, and the most important question over here is what is the link between these two
uncommon stories?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, if you
read this book, then you will not only get a flavor of love, hate,
disloyalty, but trust as well. Author's world of imagination traverses from royal world to common world, power of king to helplessness of a common
family, which I liked the most because both the phases are pole
apart yet connected to each other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the first
part (BCE), there were many characters and the characterization and
background description were really good, but in some points there were
excessive background description which I think was not required. Timeline
shifting was a big challenge for the author because it creates confusion to the
readers, but he dealt it very smoothly.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

speaking, the second part was so much better that I could not put it down.
Characterization, background description and story plot everything were up to
the mark. I have fully enjoyed it as it was making more sense to me.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A Dog in the house is short story of an Indian family who
lives in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolkata" target="_blank">Kolkata</a>, West Bengal. A Family of five members – Ajitabha Bhattacharya who is a
retired professor, Sunanda (his wife), son Debalay, his daughter Sobhona and
the most important member who was not liked by them initially, Popeye (male
pug).<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ajitabha Bhattacharya had a great career as a professor and
was very popular among his students, but on other hand Debalay was an average
student who finds studies very difficult to understand and hence somehow
completed his graduation. On the other hand, his daughter was a very bright student and
completed her PhD from a very renowned university of West Bengal, but she had very serious eye
problem.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Both of them understood that further studies are not their cup of tea, and so
were sent to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangalore" target="_blank">Bengaluru</a> with lots of hopes. Somehow, Debalay secured a job, but
then again the expense was more than what he was earning, so he decided to go
back to his home town. But, soon he got placed in Hyderabad with a decent salary and further got married.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Everything was going good until Debalay gets terminated from
the job unfortunately. As a result of this lots of conflict builds up between Debalay and his wife. Deblay’s wife gets annoyed so much that she decided to get divorced. On the other hand, Sobhona was
neither able to find any teaching job nor any man of her interest which leads to
adverse effect on her eyes. Because of all these odd situations, Sunanda had a brain
hemorrhage. <o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Author tries to explain that instead of all the bad conditions
of the family, how a pet can entirely change the situation, how the sad moments
soon turned into happy and joyful moment for them, and how the most unwanted member of their family became the most wanted for them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s a short but very beautifully written by the author.
The book just contains 16 pages which again is a plus point. The language is
very simple and easy to understand. If you ever have had a pet, then you would be able to relate it to your life. I was able to relate it as I too have a pet, sorry, had a pet. Unfortunately I lost her a week back. So, I can understand how these small creatures
have so big impact in our lives that you won’t be able to forget them for your
life. I so badly missed her.<o:p></o:p></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coming back to the review again, A dog in the house has less
pages but has very deep meaning in it. It shows the true bonding between the owner and
his/her pet, and also the unsaid love that they share.<o:p></o:p></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The best thing I liked is that when we say Love, we always think about the love between husband-wife,
brother-sister, love between family members but never acknowledge this love, which author is trying to describe. I really liked that the author shifted his
sight towards this unconditional, pure bonding.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

Bihar to a 67 year young man of Delhi, I remain contented, and happy. I keep on
regularly visiting my roots and also Pennsylvania in the USA where my elder son
is settled. Well, after schooling from my home place, I did my bachelor’s from
Patna and master’s from Izatnagar, U. P. After that I worked in the Govt. of
Bihar and while working, appeared for Civil Service Exam, and got selected in
Customs. I have lived in various parts of the country besides in the UK where I
went on deputation. Hence I got good exposure of various peoples and cultures
and I feel fortunate for that. On my home front I am a family man, happily
married, and a proud parent and grandparent of lovely children.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Shri Ram. He wrote the Ramayana that is the most authentic life story of Shri
Ram. Later, great poets of different languages wrote books on him, keeping
mostly Valmiki’s epic in mind. We keep Ramayana or another book on Shri Ram at
home, and worship the Lord as well as the book. On the contrary, Vedvyas, a
contemporary of Shri Krishna, did not feel writing on the latter’s life that
spanned for more than 125 years and 6 months and that remained as the pivot of
most of the happenings of the Aryavrat of those days. Had he written it, it’d
have been Shri Krishna’s most authentic story. Instead, he used all his wisdom
and skill writing a book on the 18-day war, the Mahabharata that we do not keep
at home; keeping it at home is considered inauspicious. — Due to this very
reason, we do not know many aspects of Shri Krishna’s life unlike Shri Ram’</span><span lang="PT" style="font-size: 14pt;">s.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Through my book I have tried to give words to the complete

of the idea of writing a book on Shri Krishna, it took me three-four years,
reading about him from all the sources I could lay my hands on, then
understanding various episodes of his life from realistic point of view, then
deciphering the modern names of the kingdoms and cities of those days, and
lastly drawing out the detailed plot. After that the job was easy. Giving words
to all that and the book was ready.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

observer of people and events around you. Make a habit of taking notes. Now if
possible, zero in on a particular genre and then, read as many books of that
genre as you can. I know each one of us has some story to tell. Determine
to tell that story to the world. Now keep 6Ps for writing a good novel in mind.
Plot, Prose, Practice, Perseverance, Patience, Perfection — each one with
excellence. After the book is ready, look for the publishers/literary agents of
your genre. Go to their websites and write to them, along with their specific
requirements, e. g. synopsis, great forwarding letter, a few chapters, etc. A
new author will get many rejections. But s/he must keep on trying, remaining
positive that one day you will do find a proper publisher/literary agent and
then, your career in writing starts taking shape.</span><span style="color: #4f81bd; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The silent
patient is a psychological thriller written by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17621440.Alex_Michaelides" target="_blank">Alex Michaelides</a>. It’s a story
of woman named Alicia and a psychiatrist Theo Faber who is around forty years old.
Alicia was a painter and her husband Gabriel was a well-known fashion
photographer. Six years ago Alicia’s husband was killed, and at the time of his murder there was nobody present at their home but Alicia, so she was accused of killing her husband and
after that incident she never spoke and became like a solid statue for more
than six years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">She refused
to talk about anything, even when she was called as the murderer of her own
husband. On contrary, the book has described a very strong relationship between
her and her husband who were married for 7 years and shared a very strong
bonding. But, the question arises why Alicia killed her loving husband and if she didn't kill him, then who killed him and why she refused to talk
anything afterwards !!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On the other
hand, Theo, a big fan of Alicia’s paintings (Alicia painted her master
piece after the murder and that painting was taken out in the exhibition). Theo
was also a part of the exhibition and after seeing her fine art and a mystery in
her master piece, he became curios to know why she refused to talk and what could have happened that night !! To get the answer he decided to help Alicia and finally made
her to talk (who hasn’t spoken a single word in last six years) but instead of
that Theo gave interview in the same place where Alicia was being treated and
got selected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Many unanswered
questions would get resolved if you read the books for example<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Who killed her husband?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Why she
refused to talk after murder?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">What was the
mystery behind her master piece? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Did the
painting have any clue about the murder? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Who killed
her husband, if at all she, then why she did that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To get all
these answers, Theo joined The Grove where Alicia’s treatment was going on.
After his research Theo came to know many things about Alicia and found that
they have one thing in common i.e. both were accused by their father in their
childhood. Alicia was blamed by her father for killing her Mom, though her
mother was killed in an accident. As the layers reveals one by one, more and more
question may arise in readers mind.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was a debut by the author, and instead of that the story has pace and a perfect thriller that I couldn’t put it down without completing. I have finished this book in a
day. The Silent patient book has the capability to let you arise at night as
well. Due to its suspense the book has great holding capacity till the end. One
of the best thrillers I have read this year. Honestly, everyone was suggesting
this book to read and after reading it I understood the reason why is it so on demand.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Author simultaneously
plots both the main characters</span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">(Alicia and Theo)</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> personal story and shows how both were accused
in their childhood and why Theo decided to take the in charge of Alicia’s
treatment. Theo was narrating his story about his loving wife and how they met and
got married, and at the same time Alicia’s story was going on, but the unveiling
of Theo’s secrets and Alicia’s secrets are most jaw dropping part of the book
but they are avoidable for sure.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The book is
more than just a twist, and even if you come to know about the mystery there are lot many interesting things to read. While reading I was trying to guess
but all my guesses were wrong. Writer has smartly created doubts on the
people who were closely related to Alicia. As the story move towards end, you
will find more than 5 suspects, and as the end is unpredictable you will stick
to the book and would be curious to know what happened that night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Honestly
speaking, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Pace of the narration was steadily moving,
never too fast or too slow. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only
thing which I didn’t like was that in few events you will find very less
background information about the characters and the scenes, where action to be
happened has been described, so for me it was a bit difficult to imagine the
characters and the scenes that were discussed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This book has been the
bestseller for over 70 years and that became a good reason for me to take it for
reading. Whenever I used to google about the books that one should read before they die, this book used to appear on the top of the list and hence I decided to read it
as I wanted to check if the book was overrated or its worth reading it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As the title “Think and grow Rich” says, this book explains the reason why only few people are
successful and what all traits make them different from us. The author has explained money-making
secrets by analyzing more than 500 wealthy men and women over a long year.
Usually, we always see one side of the coin i.e. we only see the people's Success and
their achievements, but we forget to see the hard work and determination behind
those achievements. The author has briefly discussed about those hard works and
what force made them to be persisted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It was due
to burning desire only that Edwin C. Barnes wanted to become business associate
of the great Edison whom he didn’t even know and didn’t have enough money to
reach Orange, New Jersey. He was so determined that he finally decided to travel
by “Blind -baggage” rather than defeated. These difficulties are enough for people
like us to be discouraged and leave our dreams there itself, but Barnes difficulties
didn’t end over here, but he faced all the challenges which were coming as hindrance
to his goal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Many great examples have been given to learn and so many eye-opening questions have been asked for your self analysis.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s
a story of "EasyLand" which is an advanced copy of Earth, blessed with satisfactory.
People from earth got migrated there and live their life happily. EasyLand is a
unique land where people don’t use money. EasyLand’s citizens uses benefit points
as currency to fulfill their needs and to get all the luxuries. To become rich, citizens have to earn benefit points. All the basic needs, like good home,
healthy food, good clothes, education, a vehicle, these all are being taken care
by Government. Till the age of 16 children can use their parent’s share, but
after that they will get their own card to collect their own points.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">So, the whole Story is on "no money" concept. It also emphasizes on the equality in
terms of wealth. Rich are rich only because of their good work. If someone does good work for the society and for EasyLand, then only he would
be able to upgrade his status, even if their parents are very rich.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I
liked the concept very much, like how people from earth went to EasyLand which is
itself the advanced version of earth. The book has been divided into 14 chapters, and
in these 14 chapters author has beautifully explained everything about
EasyLand but in very few words. He has tried to show the impact of equality on
everyone’s life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Honestly speaking, I liked the concept but the thing which I felt missing was that it only showed the
positive side but didn’t discuss about the negative ones, because I believe each
coin has two sides and he should have better shown the both sides.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a very thin book, hardly contains 70-80 pages so it’s very easy to finish it

<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">At
the end, it has few printing mistakes which made me confused as the mistake was with

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">SuperCop of Aryavrat – The title
given to this book makes it more unique. Those who doesn’t know about
Aryavrat, "</span><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">Aryavarta"</b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> or "</span><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><i>Āryāvarta"</i></b><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 18.6667px;">is the ancient name of India. <b>Aryavarta</b> refers to the Land of <i><b>Aryas</b></i> which means the land of Noble People.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">The title of this book made me curious to find out who has been called as "Supercop of Aryavrat" and the reason behind it. In my childhood days, I had
read about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata" target="_blank">Mahabharata</a>, but what made this book different? One
more reason that I read this book was that I wanted to read a Historical
Fiction from a long time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">Now coming back to the book, SuperCop is
the life story of Shri Krishna, told from Krishna’s perspective who was closely
involved in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurukshetra_War" target="_blank">Kurukshetra War</a>. B</span><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt;">ook describes each phase of Krishna’s
life, from His childhood days to the day when He died. Very few people know how Krishna died and what happened after the war. Was Krishna blamed for the war
between the two groups of cousin? Why Krishna had been cursed by Gandhari ?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">You will get all the answers once you read
SuperCop of Aryavrat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">If you are aware of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahabharata" target="_blank">Mahabharata</a> then
you might know this is the longest poem ever written but in this book you will
get a chance to read Krishna’s childhood as well as every major event that has
discussed in Mahabharata in merely 256 pages. Author’s narrating style is very
good. In Mahabharata, there were so many characters and it’s really hard to know
the relations among all, but in this book author has very clearly mentioned the
relationships among themselves. Also, I didn’t get confused about who was saying what,
usually this happens where there are too many characters.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">The book can be easily understood by a
person even who doesn’t know its history. Few improvisations has been done which gives
an add on flavor to the book, like how <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putana" target="_blank">Putana </a>rakshasi got killed and many more interesting
stories are there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">This book also includes story of how <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narakasura" target="_blank">Narakasura</a> got killed by Krishna to save the dignity of women and how Krishna got married
to 16000 women. This book also has that popular story about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjuna" target="_blank">Arjuna</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duryodhana" target="_blank">Duryodhana</a>, and how Arjun had chosen Krishna over Dwarka’s entire army. It also has a glimpse of Radha-Krishna’s immortal divine love story. How they met and why did they get separated?
How Krishna got married to Rani <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukmini" target="_blank">Rukmini</a> and other eight main Rani? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14.0pt;">One can get all the answers in this one

<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">What all things I liked about the book</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Actually, everywhere you may find Krishna’s
janam kand(birth phases) and Mahabharata, but not from the perspective of Krishna. No one has
ever thought of how Krishna was feeling at the battle field, how lord
managed to behave like a human being, how he was feeling after being cursed by
Ghandhari even when the real culprit was someone else.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">This book has given the fact of the existence of lord Krishna and also has given <i>the exact date and time of His birth</i> which makes our belief in God so strong.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Especially, character's and event’s description
are so powerful that one can visualize it. Stories are so alive that it will
hold you till the end.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />

<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">What all things I disliked about it</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Honestly speaking, it has too many characters
which was very difficult for me to remember because each time I have to turn the
page and go to the intro page of that character. I know this epic itself has too many characters, so it seems author couldn't do anything on this.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Few of the improvisations also challenged
what I read in my school so sometimes I also got confused about which one to believe.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></span>
<br />

<b><span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">Reason to read it</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">If you want to read about Krishna’s life
very closely, then this is the book for you because author has done justice to the
characters and did a remarkable research work on Krishna’s life.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">If you like historical fiction and believe in lord Krishna then you should go for it.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">If you want to know the perspective of
the person who played the vital role in the battle and later who was even
cursed for that, then you should go for it.</span></li>
</ul>

in the stories what you read in your childhood days, then you may skip this.</span></li>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Welcome back my readers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The reason behind for picking up Designing
Destiny is because of its catchy title. Normally, we think that destiny
is something which we get by birth from our god. I mean the majority of us think
like this way only.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Now, does this book justify its title? Does this book changed my mindset? Is
it really possible to change our destiny? So many questions right, let’s find
out my final verdict about this book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">As the name suggests, the book is about how
one can design his/her destiny. This book has described that by following certain processes, one can achieve
whatever he/she wants in his/her life and, that one can make life beautiful through
these processes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">This book is focused on how we can achieve
the inner peace and how meditation is effective while achieving it. Initially, it tries to cover all the basic questions that usually comes to our mind when
we think about meditation. Later on, the author tries to go deeper into the
topic. Author has explained the physical and spiritual benefits of meditation. He also has showed ways to achieve that state. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamlesh_Patel" target="_blank">Daaji</a> has explained his four principle
and at the end he tries to explain how we all are connected with each other.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;">My Review:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Now coming back to my take on it, before going
into the context that designing destiny has talked about, I would like to
discuss the writing skill and his research on the topic. Author has used very
simple and descriptive language to explain his understanding on meditations. He also showed his profound personal research and deep knowledge about the topic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Book has been divided into four parts and
each part has several chapters and I will put my point of view about each part.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">First part tries to explain about destiny and how we can change our destiny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Second part talks about what is
meditation and how to create a meditative state, what kind of impression we should
have while meditation. Before meditation one should practice the cleaning
process and how our prayers and attitude should be like. There are answers to many
more questions in this section.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Third part explains our lifestyle. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This section shows that a small change in our
lifestyle can make our life so wonderful. This section also explains the different forms of Yoga,
benefits of yoga and through which we can even regulate our emotions and can
lead a self-controlled, non-controversial life.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Forth part talks about Destiny, Free will
and freedom of choice. </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">This section talks about ego and explains
how ego can be beneficial. This section also talks about three bodies: body, mind, soul. Body refers
to our physical body made up of flesh, bool and organs, mind refers to the
vibration of the body and soul is the causal body, the cause of our existence.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Well the first part was really easy for me to
understand as it talks about defining our destiny and also it includes the
introductory part so it was very smooth walk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Second part was little deeper than the first
one but was quite easy as well as it includes the definition of meditation, benefits,
different steps to be followed before meditation and before going to bed. This portion
also has instructions that needs to be followed to do meditation, cleaning, prayer in
a very clear manner. So, according to me this part is the most useful one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Third part talks about lifestyle,
encourages yoga, benefits of yoga. This part is also very easy but with deeper
meaning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Fourth part<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">With all due respect about whatever it
talks about spirituality, vibration and whichever topic it touched, but I found difficult to grasp it. The reason might be because my knowledge in spirituality is very
less or maybe I haven’t reached that level in meditation. So, whatever would be the
reason, I found this portion a very difficult one for me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The
big reason to like this book is meditation, I was very curious about how one
can reach to different levels of meditations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">It
has proper steps that should be followed not only while in meditation but
also recommended best possible steps for cleaning and prayer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Preventives have also been given in it. What not to do after meditations (everyone talks
about the do’s of it but, being a meditation lover, for the first time I found someone
talking about don’ts after meditation).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">It
seems common problems people face during meditation are very well known to the
author and accordingly solutions are also given.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">He
has given his real life personal experience. He also has given very good messages like “our
prayers are always selfish as we always pray whenever we are in lack".</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">I
found contradictory statements. At one point it says “when we focus on one thing, it is
meditation” but on another page it says “There is no need to focus on any
particular thing. The moment we focus on one thing, it is no longer meditation
but concentration” (one can refer page 26 and page 81). I cannot ignore this
point because meditation is the base of this book so how the base could be
contradictory.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Meaning

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The
Alchemist, to be very honest with you I din’t even know the meaning of
Alchemist earlier. I just did a small research (which I usually do before reading any
book) and got this book as a suggestion so I decided to read this book, and after reading it, I realized the actual meaning of alchemist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The literal
meaning is a person who tries to change ordinary metal into gold, and according
to me, a person who realizes her/his internal power and tries to change life for
something big. It is basically a story of a boy who always listened to his heart
and left every comfort just to make his dreams come true. The story will
revolve around a common boy who fought against his own fate, his journey from a
shepherd to the richest person, how he met people who helped him to reach to
his treasure, while some who cheated on him and made him away from the treasure. How
the adventurer learnt the language of world?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;">This is the
story of a boy named Santiago who was a shepherd and kept dreaming the same
dream and was very curious to make it come true. In the introduction itself readers
will feel connected with the boy. I got connected after reading only
20-25 pages, which happens rarely. He decided to follow his dream and he met a king in his path who directed him towards his own dreams, and from there the
actual story begins. He started his journey by scarifying his sheep. In his
very own journey he experiences love, friendship, money loss, learns language of
world, struggles. On his journey, he met an old king who already knew his past, and he directed him towards the treasure in Egypt which he always dreamt about. His
journey was full of adventures and lessons which life taught. He also met one
Englishman who taught him what Alchemist mean and in the last phase of his
journey he actually met The Alchemist who made him believe in himself, who
convinced him to follow his dream, to obey his heart,</span><span style="font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;"> </span><span style="font-size: 13pt; text-align: justify;">even if he got caught in the tribal war of
the desert, even if his hard earned money had been stolen. After crossing all the odds, finally he reached to his destination, but there also he got beaten by
thief. After all struggle did he find his treasure?</span><br />

</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Its narration is third person narration. The language is very
simple, if you have very basic command on English then also it is good to go.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Lesser number of characters which leads to better
understanding and less confusion.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">At very initial phase of story, I felt emotionally very
connected with the boy.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I even liked the narration pace as well and the way author
has portrait the scenes.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Best part of this book is that this book can be considered as
self help and at the same time you will get a flavor of thrill and adventure.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I liked the ending the most (very unexpected ending),
some may get disappointed, but the ending has its very own meaning.</span></li>
<li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Also, the number of pages is very less, so one can enjoy thrill,
suspense with less sweat.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Welcome Back
Readers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This week I completed
The Power of Subconscious mind, probably the oldest book I ever going to review
but for me the concept in this book is important not the release date. At very
first I thought I might not publish this review because this book is such an
old book but then after reading it, it inspires me to spread the concept as
much as possible. So, I decided to review it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The power
this book is talking about, I am sure most of us have experienced it. In my
case I always used to ask myself to wake me up at 6 am and amazed but it wakes
me up at exactly 6 am even in winters. So yeah this is one small example but,
in this book, so many examples have been given which shows the infinite, never
ending power of our intelligence.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It Focuses on several issues which can be solved
by our infinite intelligent (each chapter has been dedicated to make us
understand how it can be effectively used to solve our so-called miseries)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; text-indent: -0.25in;">How to use the power of subconscious mind

</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I
always try to learn something out of the book I read. That’s the reason I am
reviewing more self-help books. I learnt great things from this book as well
which no body has ever told me before, secret power of our subconscious
intelligent.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">The Power
which we are looking outside is living inside us, the treasure house is inside
you.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">If you want
something very badly then you have to have a firm believe that one day that
thing going to happen in your life.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">We should feed
wisely to our subconscious mind because there is a strong linkage between subconscious
and conscious mind. Whatever you think the impression goes to our subjective
mind.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Body
regrowth, blood circulation, digestion, heart beat all are controlled by our
infinite intelligent.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">We Should
never say words that would destroy our capacity.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">We should
always fill our mind with word of affirmations.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">We should learn
to forgive ourselves first then others because god never punishes anyone, its
our thought which punishes us.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">Our Future
is in our subconscious mind.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 13pt;">This book also teaches me the importance of
sleep. How a prayer before sleep can change one’s life.</span></li>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My Review:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This could
be a life changing book. It explained the concept through real time examples
which has happened with authors followers. It consists of 20 chapters, in each chapter
he has given one prayer to be repeated before sleep if you have so and so
desires. It explains how outer world is created by our inner world only. The
book says our subconscious mind is extremely sensitive towards our conscious mind.
So immediately correct your negative sentences into the positive one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Explains how
health, wealth, marital issue or any big thing can be resolved easily through our
inner believes. Book talks about the different methods to use our infinite
power. It’s says our subconscious mind doesn’t know what is positive or
negative. It just acts upon our impression of thoughts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It basically makes you realize the power within you, at the end of each chapter you will also find bullet points or summary about the chapters. Each chapter is very relatable with our lives and as you move towards the end, all the questions have been answered in this book. What is subconscious mind ? How to achieve the power ? How to have happy and peaceful life ? Why should we forgive everyone ? You will get answers to all these questions in this book.</span></div>

book</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Because of its unique concept I have chosen this book. In
very simple words author has explained subconscious mind meaning.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Many real examples have been discussed in it which holds you
till the end.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">In each chapter you will find subheading which gives us an
idea that what it is going to discuss about.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Book has answered all the questions that might arise while
reading it.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">There are many repetition of words in the beginning of the book.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Pointers(summary of the chapter) is given at the end of each chapter, which I found to be of no use, as you already have read the chapters and it would make you feel like the whole chapter is getting discussed again.</span></li>

</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">I know Rich
Dad and Poor Dad is a very old book which I am going to review, but for me this is the most interesting self-help that I have ever read. Trust me, I finished it within
few hours without taking any break. The reason I could finish it up so fast was because of its simplified formulas and simple thought process of him and his
rich dad. To be very honest with you, I was not at all interested in reading
this financial literacy. Since long I was trying to not read this book because I
always used to think that financial literacy or personal investments lessons
are tough for a common person to understand who have not gone through any such courses
in schools. This was the reason that I read this book after so many years and I regret for I should have read this book when I was in
college. Anyways, its never too late, but I would like to suggest those who
have not read this book to read it as early as possible. Soon
you will get to know why I am saying this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;"></span><span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Basically,
Rich Dad Poor Dad is the story of Author “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kiyosaki" target="_blank">Robert T. Kiyosaki</a>” himself. The book
starts from his childhood (his building block phase). Since his childhood he
wanted to be rich as other rich kids in his school who used to have new baseball gloves, new
bicycle, new everything. His desire to be rich arose from that time. He had two
fathers, a rich and a poor one. One was highly educated and intelligent and the
other never finished even his eighth grade. He calls his own dad as poor dad, and
rich dad was the father of his best friend Mark.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Both were successful
in their careers, both earned substantial incomes. Yet, one always struggled financially while the other became one of the richest men. One died leaving millions of
dollars to his family while the other left bills to be paid. Their suggestions were other side of coins. Both strongly believed in education but never
recommended the same course of study. There were differences in their opinions,
one believed that "The love of Money" is the root cause of all evil while other would
say "The lack of Money" is the root cause of all the evil. Having two dads
offered him the choice of contrasting point of views. But, he had to follow one path, and he followed rich dad’s path.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">His Rich Dad
always believed that poor and middle class work harder and harder for money, but
for rich, money works for them. Rich dad always used to say that rich are rich because
they have kids, but poor would say they are not rich because they have kids.
His rich dad also stressed on education, but not to work for money but to buy
company so that money would work for him. Since 9 till the age of 35, his rich dad used to guide him and strongly believed that money is not something to play
safe always, rather its like a game where you need to take risks to reach to the next
level. He made him learn how he could get out of this rat trap (work hard,
spend on expenses, debt and then again work hard) and become a financially
free person.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">My Review:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">As I already
mentioned, it is the most simplified version of financial literacy. He not only
focuses on the reason why most people are working for money instead of
making money, but also the solution to get out of this rat race and become
financially independent. It was not eye opening, but I would rather say that this was an
eye widening concept for me. I could have never realized the importance of
personal investment. He has also listed 10 lessons that he learnt from his rich
dad which includes how small small steps makes bigger difference in financial
status. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">People like
us always get trapped in self doubt and what if clause, what if the market
crashes, what if my share goes down, all these hold us back to take calculative
risk. But, according to him this can be overcome by technical knowledge as well
as courage to take risk because since childhood we are told to play
safe when it comes about money. In schools we are punished whenever we make
mistakes but in real time we learn only from our mistakes. Mistakes make better
version of ourselves. So, he also encourages the reader not only to gain
knowledge but also act, and while acting we might end up by making mistakes but
that’s ok.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">Rich always
focuses on the assets column and poor has only expenses, but middle class buy
liabilities that they think are assets. Narrator is not against liabilities or
comforts, but he is only trying to convey that you should first focus on your asset column and those assets will make money for you which can be used to pay your
expenses. The money from assets should also get you liabilities which you are
expending from your hard-earned income. The ideal cash flow should be something
like the below diagram.</span></div>

Readers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">It’s a
spoiler free review of The Hunting Party but in a detailed manner so that you
will get an idea whether you should go for this book or not. So let’s
begin with my take on this book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

to celebrate new year in wilderness of Scotland. The group had four
women (KATE, MIRANDA, EMMA and SAMIRA) and five men. You must be thinking why did I
mention women names only ? Nothing gender biased, but its just because the
story revolves around these ladies and it was really difficult for me to
remember all 9 characters, so to make it easy for you guys I have mentioned the
important characters, and of course there are two more important characters, HEATHER(who took in charge of guests) and DOUG(the gamekeeper of the lodge). There was one Irish couple who was sharing the lodge with them.</span></li>

She was the one who had organized this party and selected the venue. According to her, despite of
all trial she always fails to be the part of this group. Later on, she got
married to MARK (an old member of this group).<o:p></o:p></span></li>

beautiful girl in that group, which she used to feel very proud of. She always
enjoys party. She also had a stalker and she used to feel very proud of this as well, as
this often happens to a celebrity, actresses, and singers. She always used to bring
this topic as a piece of dinner party to get attention from others. After few
years, she got married to JULIEN (he was also part of group).</span></li>

woman. She used to talk very little and Miranda always used to pretend that she was her bestie, but according to KATIE that wasn’t true. According to her, Miranda always used to put her down. Katie is still single but a very successful lawyer.</span></li>

very fun loving girl. At every party she used to dance a lot, was full of life
but now she got married and has a little baby. As she is now mother of a baby
she has become a responsible mother and her priorities have changed</span><b><span style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">over the

far from the station. No one had expected this much isolation from human
civilization. When they reached the lodge, they found only two staff,
a lady who takes care of the guests and the gamekeeper. It was quite weird to accept why and how those two were even surviving, what was the reason of their
helplessness? Anyways, they were on New Year celebration, so they didn’t bother
much on it. All were on a party mood. EMMA was trying hard to make everyone happy.
Two days before 1<sup>st</sup> of Jan, when everyone was enjoying drinks and
food, MARK (Husband of EMMA) took MIRANDA aside and told her that he knew one
very big secret of JULIEN (MIRRANDA’s Husband), but she denied to listen
anything from him (Actually few days back Julien already had told her a secret that
he was involved in illegal business as she always demands for branded clothes,
diamonds and many other thing which he was unable to fulfill with his white
money). But, was it the same secret he was talking about ? It goes on, and on 31<sup>st</sup>
night MIRANDA came to know two biggest secrets of her life: 1. Her Husband was
cheating on her and had an extra marital affair with one of her friend. 2. The
stalker who always used to stalk her, was one of those friend. But, now the question is
why her own friend would stalk her? And with whom her husband had a
relationship with? Would Miranda be able to take all of this at one go? Was
Miranda a murderer?</span></li>

modern version of the ancient "locked room" mystery trope. Written in
a haunting atmospheric style. It starts with an unknown dead body and we were
left till end with the suspense that who got killed and who had killed. The
scenic wilderness has also helped the story to boost up readers interest, but up
to a certain extent. I wish all the characters were connected more. I
found the narration was a bit slower in some parts. Let’s discuss my take on
this story.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">The world
knows that Japan always had a reputation for its unique culture and tradition. Ikigai</span><span style="font-size: 16px;">, which means “a reason for being”,</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> is one of those unique concepts in Japanese. Giving
every day meaning and joy, is what this book tries to explain. Basically, ikigai is formed of two Japanese
characters, 'iki' meaning life, and 'gai' meaning values. The meaning of ikigai may differ from person to person. Some believes that ikigai is nothing but knowing the
purpose in life, whereas, some believes that it is something you do even though no one
has asked you to do. It is related to everyday life. A person’s Ikigai could be
anything, it could be their family, work or any hobby. There is a strong focus
on present moment that makes us more aware about the surroundings. They always
concentrate on minute details in everyday life. According to this, paying
attention to details, grabs our focus onto what is right in front of them. Ikigai
in simple is everyday's things. This book explains Ikigai, as well as healthy diet
and lifestyle, which was a contributing factor to longevity of Japanese. It says, start
small and see the impact one could make in his/her life.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">This book
explains how the meaning of ikigai differs from person to person. It also explains why Japanese
live longer life than others, and what mindset make them so unique from others. It has
been seen that people in 60s or 70s are very active in Japan. All the answers
have been given in this book. She has explained how small things should matter to us,
but, we always concentrate on big goals. To achieve big goal, one must take
smaller baby steps in everyday life. What I understood, Ikigai is knowing
yourself. If you already know it, then you should take small-small actions, which
will take you towards contentment, and if you don’t know your Ikigai, then take a pause,
look back, and think what makes you happy and gives the feeling of fulfilment.
<b>Ikigai</b> allows you to:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Feel happy and content.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Find a stable state of mind.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Find a sense of purpose.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Feel Motivated and driven.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Become more proactive.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px; text-indent: -0.25in;">Eliminate insecurities about any
decision.</span></li>

</div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0px;">She also
interviewed the top successful people in Japan and explained their views on Ikigai. She has explained how Ikigai changed their lives, how it helped them in times of difficulty, how they discovered their Ikigai. Last but not the least, she has also
explained how we can discover our Ikigai.</span></div>

book</span></b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">She has done quite a good research on
how Ikigai is different for different person.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">She has very well explained the Ikigai is not only related to career or work, it could be anything, it could be a hobby or happiness of a person whom he/she loves.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">She has also helped the readers to understand their Ikigai by asking some relevant questions at the end of the book.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Language is also quite simple to understand.</span></li>

<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">I felt like something was missing, she
should have explained it more elaborately. However, related topics are good,
but she should have gone into more deeper level. I understand, it might be very common among Japanese, but I felt like we needed more information about this concept.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">For me font was also a problem as it was a bit smaller to read.</span></li>

things in your life, then this book might help you.</span></li>
