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.

Name of the book - Ringo and the Yogi by Prasun Roy.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book-
I loved it.
Remember that time when you were little and thought you could take over the world ?

You see  this book made me realize that as long as I believe in me it will all happen.
I really enjoyed the narration, it was like hearing a story with all the descriptions and words adding to the beauty of the story.
Personally I think it's an awesome read.

Review Diaries (Are You Kidding Me? By Anirban Das)

Name of the book - Are You Kiddin Me? By
Anirban Das
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book -
Have you ever been in a situation where you went... Are you kidding me? Or man you gotta be kidding me?
If yes then you will like this book.
A series of different situations which makes you laugh and at times go all teary eyed and yet laughing is what this book does.
Most of the characters are very relatable and also these people are those whom you have had been unfortunate enough to meet.
In other cases you are tha poor soul who are in trouble.
But everything said and done I have a tiny problem with the book, the end notes were at times irritating. I am someone who adores adding endnotes and star marks for adding additional information cause I just wanna add it all. But now I realize why people don't like it.
It kind of takes you away from the story.
So that being said Me overall likey the book.

Review Diaries (So-Called Love Story by Nitin Kumar and Dikshant Gupta

Name of the book - So-Called Love Story by Nitin Kumar and Diksha Gupta.
Stars given - 4 on 5 stars.
My take on the book -
Ever heard the phrase that there are two sides to every story?
Well as someone who always likes hear the whole story from both parties concerned if possible I really liked this one.
It does not leave you hanging with just one side of the story.
The narration was nice and the story was sweet.
The characters were well form.
Over all I really enjoyed it. It's a good example of a light read.
QOTD - Ever wanted to be a fly on a wall?
AOTD- Hell yeah. At least a bird in the sky any given day.

Review Diaries (Divyastra by Nimish Bipin Tanna)

Name of the book - Divyastra by Nimish Bipin Tanna
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars and a big bag of candies.
My take on the book -
So I love mythology and I simply adore retelling. So now imagine a retelling with a twist set in the modern times. I was in cloud 9, heck I almost lost my job over this book. I just couldn't put it down and took it with me to the office. And then my boss found me reading this one with such major concentration that she came back an hour later to give me a piece of her mind. But I got saved by the book again, she was mesmerized by it and I ordered one for her too.
The characters are so real and well rounded that you will get a clear picture of every scenario. And the stories are entertaining. Me really likey! And the cover gets extra love.

Review Diaries (Stories Are Magical by Abhirup Dhar)

Name of the book - Stories Are Magical by Abhirup Dhar.
Stars given - 5 on 5 stars.
My take on the book -
6 short stories and all of them very different from each other... I really enjoyed it.
My favorite was Once Upon A Ghost. All the stories were not only interesting but the best part you will never guess where the story will take you in the end.
Loved the narration. This is the second book I am reading by the author and trust me when I say it his story telling is fun. I am very filmy in nature and I found his work endearing.
QOTD- Say one thing about yourself that I don't know!
