Lost in Reverie

As someone who is not very familiar with Ramayana and Indian folklore, this was a very refreshing read for me. I picked it up because of the eye-catching cover and interesting blurb. As a fan of spirituality and philosophical books, this was very enjoyable for me. Not only is the story and characters of Ramayana fascinating, the book also teaches profound life lessons that will literally make you stop reading to ponder! I have been studying the concept of Consciousness and mindfulness in the past few years, so this book came at a perfect time for me. It filled the gaps which were unanswered in my mind, making me more confident with my own beliefs and strengthened them further. I can liken this book to many spiritual fictions from big authors out there. I truly hope that the book gains more of the limelight which it deserves. The writing is crisp, the narrative compelling, and the characters are well-developed. I would also like to mention that after reading this book, it opened up the avenue of Indian mythology for me. It also made me search more about the main characters which led me to read the philosophies of Ashtavakra. This book has easily become a favorite of mine. The best thing about this tale is that it is recommendable to people of different ages and backgrounds. Kudos to the author and hope to see more of his works soon!

This clever guide to the essentials of hacking is a great tool for anyone looking to learn about the basics of the subject. I was recently preparing a presentation on cyber security, and this book came at a perfect time. As an IT undergrad, I've always been fascinated with the topic of hacking, but never really delved into it. When I came across Paik's book, I finally got a first look into the inner workings of hackers. It was a very enlightening read. I think everyone who enjoys the subject or runs any company whose operations are online should definitely educate themselves about cyber attacks and the importance of keeping their data safe from any malicious intent. Overall, this was a fairly easy and informative read. There's a great use of imagery to illustrate samples, which make the concepts easier for readers (technical and laymen both) to understand.
