Review Diaries (Chalar Pothe Rupkotha by Prabir Basu)

Name of the book - Chalar Pothe Rupkotha by Prabir Basu.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
Growing up my Mimi always made it a point to make me read books that were written in my mother tongue. It was a bonding time for us.
This book kinda brought back all those good memories.
The author talks about a lot of important aspects about our lives.
I and my Mimi buddy-read the book and honestly it was amazing.
Every one should give it a try in my opinion.
QOTD - Do you have any special Me and Mom time in your life?

Review Diaries (Door to Hell by Padmakumar)

Name of the book - Door to Hell by Padmakumar.
Stars given - 4 in 5 stars.
My tak on the book -
This book was one rollercoaster ride for me.
As someone who has gone through an acute phase of depression, I heartily vouch for the need to talk about your feelings and also seeking the help needed.
This is a story that talks about the past but all the while stays in the present.
The protagonist is not someone you will like much, you might sympathize in certain cases or even pity him but like will never come.
The story has many short chapters and it's very well written, grammatically speaking but there are times in the book you will want to be edited and made into a single line instead of an entire chapter.
The protagonist's love life didn't need to be so well detailed and that was my major problem with the story.
Everyone needs help once in a while, and you will feel that the guy from the story deserves it too, but trust me on this all those details will stop you from taking that step and lending him some empathy, we will make sure he gets help as human beings but he is too 'jaguar' like to warrant any warm heartfelt condolences.

Review Diaries (When the Haboob Sings by Nejoud Al-Yagout)

Name of the book - When the Haboob Sings by Nejoud Al-Yagout.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars and a big Go Girl…
My take on the book-
I read this one and oh my heart, I loved it.
Freedom of speech is such a big part of my definition of freedom.
Yes, there are times when peps take it a little bit further and pour out the meanness of their soul. I personally believe that one should avoid that.
But on the other hand, there are situations where people look the other way, instead of raising their voices.
I am someone who is very vocal about things, be it about the good, the bad or the very ugly.
The protagonist faces many problems due to her being vocal about something that the society deems a subject that one should not touch.
There were times when I just wanted to get in the book and beat people up (not that violence is good, they they were mean) and at times I wanted to hug her.
Overall me really likey
QOTD - Have you ever gotten into trouble for raising your voice?
Ans- I was asked to get down from the bus when the girl I raised my voice for kept mum and the creep said I was being cray-cray and people supported him.

Review Diaries (The Growth Hacking Book: Most Guarded Growth Marketing Secrets The Silicon Valley Giants Don't Want You To Know by [Agrawal, Parul, Chaubey, Rohan])

The Growth Hacking Book: Most Guarded Growth Marketing Secrets The Silicon Valley Giants Don't Want You To Know by [Agrawal, Parul, Chaubey, Rohan]
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
Who wants to make it big in the digital world?
Even though the answer should be I, me and myself I wanna say who doesn't want to make it big?
This book is like a gold mine for peps like me.
It's very straight forward and exactly to the point.
Many industry pros have given us advice, ideas that are not only full proof but also tried and tested.
There had been times when some of my brilliant ideas fell face first and I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Well now I know better and realize what I was doing was not the way to go about it.
There were many things that I was doing wrong or at most differently that was hampering my chances to be aaaaaamazing, you know as amazing as I find myself.
So yeaps, good great awesome future here I come.
Make way for me…

Review Diaries (Pentacles by Sabarna Roy)

Name of the book - Pentacles by Sabarna Roy.
Stars given - 4 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
So this book has one story and has a few poems as well.
The poems we're nice but as someone who really adores rhyme blank verses made a tad bit restless. I read another book by the writer, which was collection of poems and they me really likey.
Coming back to the story, I was kinda underwhelmed by it.
The ending, at least for this particular story, needed to have a proper conclusion, it just ended like a short story leaving me searching for answers. And I really didn't like the protagonist, I understand that we all are the product of our environment and society plays a big role in how we end up growing up but certain things are a big no no for me like physical violence in any way - however big or small.
Overall it was an okay read for me.

Review Diaries (Winter Poems by Sabarna Roy)

Name of the book- Winter Poems by Sabarna Roy.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
QOTD - What's your favorite season?
Mine is winter, cause I hate rain and summer's only saving grace is Mango. And also my birthday is in the winter season.
This book made me very happy today, a day when it was raining cats and dogs and I ended up resembling a drowned rat.
Many a times we feel certain things which we end up being unable to express with the right set of words. But these poems make it's mark.
Me really likey.

Review Diaries (Asoka Book III : Nemesis of Kalinga by Shreyas Bhave)

Name of the book - Asoka Book III : Nemesis of Kalinga by Shreyas Bhave.
Stars given- 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
This one is the third one in the trilogy and of course I started with it. I mean #
But this one was something I would have been upset to miss out on. I am currently reading lots and loads of ancient and modern history, cause exam demands but this one kinda helped make all the paragraphs more alive and interesting.
I know I won't be asked many of the points that we're there cause of creative license, but now I kinda, sorta am looking forward to reading more about those times.
The book starts with a bit of an introduction that made me look twice, it was I won and I lost but after I sorted that out everything else was aaaaaamazing.
Loved reading it.
BTW getting the first two books soon.
