Book Review : Coming up next!

Image
Okay so this book is about a women named Katie in her 40s getting sacked from a show on which she has been working on for more than 10 years. From there things pretty much goes down in Katies life! Suddenly everything in her life seems to go wrong and that is when the book also starts to go wrong. This book literally goes nowhere till 100th page. Just Katie and her sad little life, who instead dealing with her issues choses to get over drunk everytime and ruin things more. Seriously this got so irritating after a point that i started skipping pages. There are so many characters and they seem to keep coming up out of no where. Most of them were unnecessary. And there is no built up of story either. Its just Katie being drunk and ruining things and for other characters it just feels like they are all writing their personal diary at the end of the day! I really enjoy reading a lot but with this book i just wanted this to end as soon as possible. If you really a...

BOOK REVIEW : Get rich through real estate without using money - Pichai Chawla

Image
This is a book I randomly picked up while strolling through my towns public library. The title caught my attention how can you make money without using money in real estate? The answer is simple and everyone knows it. The main idea of the book was to help explain the financial management to the normal crowd eager to invest but are afraid to take risk. Sorry to say but the book turned out to be disappointing but there are few points worth discussing. It  does start with explaining  the real estate business but strays off to explaining the unreleated topics how to start and manage a business.

Another point is “ patience is the key”. And the last and most important point discussed is never be afraid to fail or lose. Instead learn from the bad situation, adopt that lesson learned to imp...

Book Review: I have a dream by Rashmi Bansal

Image
I picked “I have a dream” for whole and sole reason to motivate myself. Lets talk about the writing style. The first few stories where the writer used hindi lines from the original interview was cringe worthy. I was not able to understand in the beginning if it was the author or the interviewee speaking. The book could have been presented better rather formed better. Now the content part. The stories in this book were very inspiring. This book gets you in thinking gears. Infact some stories in this book had pushed me to do more research in certain field in which i am interested, if only it was well presented. And being a Bollywood freak I would say movies should be made on 2 stories one on Sulabh sauchalay and second Parivartan of Arvind kejriwal. There were so many heart touching stories where people gave up on a flourishing thriving career after IIT, IIM or in foreign country and chose to serve our Motherland by improving the lives of strangers who are helpless or unp...
