Review Diaries ( The Temple Stop by Harinder Cheema)

Name of the book- The Temple Stop by Harinder Cheema
Stars given- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
We have all seen war being glorified and the sacrifices for the soldiers honored. But what about the people they leave behind? These soldiers are human beings, they are someone's son, brother, friend and husband. They have feelings and so do the people associated to them.
This book isn't your run of the mill love story about star crossed lovers it's a lot more.
I personally feel that specialexceptions should be made for army families, cause not only they deserve it but it's the right thing to do.

Review Diaries (In This Life Or The Next by Menaka Ramakrishnan)

Name of the book- In This Life Or The Next by Menaka Ramakrishnan
Stars given- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
This one of those OMG books that I have been fortunate enough to read this year.
Romance is my go to genre when I am happy but when I am sick it's thriller and horror - gorier the better.
So this book has made my sick day all the more eventful.
So coming back to the story it's not just interesting but it's amazingly interesting.
A girl who has the power of 'vision' needs to make sure that a stranger doesn't take any step that will result in something even more worse.
The tale was very goosebump inducing.
During certain parts I had chills, like literal chills.
For me this book has hit it's mark.
Highly recommend.

Review Diaries (Who Stole My Job? By Sunil Mishra)

Name of the book - Who Stole My Job? By Sunil Mishra
.
Stars given- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
Just a few days ago I was having this conversation with a friend that how different is the job life from the one we imagined for myself. From crappy workload to idea stealing co workers, from moronic bosses to idiotic clients , workplace is a jungle where weird stuff just keep on happening one after another without a stop.
This book talks about incidents that are so relatable that one can see them happening in real life.
The language is simple and makes the story it's main hero.
I really enjoyed reading this book.
QOTD - Worst thing that happened to you on the job?

Review Diaries (Lost Without Her by Pournima Navani)

Name of the book - Lost Without Her by Pournima Navani.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars and a big hug.
My take on the book -
So once in a while I come across a book that makes my heayrt go boom and this one is on the top my list.
After I finished the book I went and hugged my dad. Yeaps it was that kinda difficult being a cop's daughter I related to this book on a different level.
When I was young my Dad used to joke around saying that no one will kidnap me cause I talk too much and even if they did they will return me within the minute. I used to get miffed at the joke. But then after growing up, when I went out in the big world out there I realized how protected I was from all that is bad in the world and my Dad was responsible for making sure I stay true to myself and be the best version of me.
This book will make you emotional as it did me.
I am not very vocal about my love for my Bapu but it's there in lots and loads for sure.

Review Diaries ( 150 Brilliant Ideas To Keep YOUNG MINDS Fit & Fine by Neera Maini Srivastav )

Name of the book - 150 Brilliant Ideas To Keep YOUNG MINDS Fit & Fine by Neera Maini Srivastav.
Stars given -5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
This is one of those books that makes you take a step back and realize how much good you can do in your life if you just follow a few simple things.
Broadly divided into three parts that book talks about everything, like literally anything and everything under the sun that can make you smile a little longer, find peace very easily.
I had lots of fun reading all the 150 ideas and their little definitions and at times examples.
The language is very simple and very easily understood by everyone.
If you know anyone who needs some quality 'me-time' and is very stressed about life then recommend them this gem of a book.
I really enjoyed it.
QOTD - Ice cream or Cold drink?

Review Diaries ( Rewind and Play by Tarun Gautam)

Name of the book - Rewind and Play by Tarun Gautam.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
I loved it.
So imagine a book that says a lot about your good old days, it's bound to make you feel home sick and crave your friends' time, like it did for me and I ended up calling my childhood bae who has been a big support all these years.
It's a story about how things change and we never know what will happen next. It's filled with emotions to the brink.
I would have loved the book even more if it was a bit more refined with it's editing but all the emotions are so well executed and explained.
I missed my good old days so bad that I wrote a poem.
Memories are ever there, lurking around the corner bend.
Some make memories while others follow pictural trend.
I chose to open my diary and give my bestie a call.
Who held my hand, come hell water, winter or fall.

Remember that time when you were little and thought you could take over the world ?

Personally I think it's an awesome read.
