What a journey reading this insightful non fiction which seemed more of a daily journey. The simplicity in which Mr. Kant has explained the process, it's very interesting to learn and sure to adapt the entire process. The language and storyline used, for any manager across industries, is very easy to understand too. 'It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur.' Said so profoundly ;)

A good read. An anthology of Kashmir's real incidents penned by Sh Hari Krishna Kaul in his loving times and penned down by his granddaughter Smr. Kalpana Kaul. Kashmiri, a not so easy to translate, is a language as delicious to listen to as the Kashmiri food and traditions. This anthology is a wonderful account of how a land full of culture was also a victim of ignorance by many and only being used for political gain by the system.

Love. Life. A collection of wonderful account of the experiences in the Big Apple. It's an easy read, a novel beautifully described and written well taking the reader into a different zone. Kept me interested throughout, The Insomniac City is a celebration in its own way. Talking about the urban jungle, New York, the story reads through the everyday and normal moments that change one's course of life. The story talks about Bill who moves to the city from San Francisco after the death of his partner and falls in love with a writer friend. It's one of the very beautiful memories.

If colour had a grief, what would it be. As Shakespeare said - My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white. The story revolves around Sonia, a Dutch Palestinian actress, who is committed to perform Hamlet, a Shakespeare legend in a time of crisis in Palestine. She moves on from London to visit her sister long after childhood and ends up bargaining much more emotions than expected. While talking to people and the cast of the okay, she goes back to remember local politics and trying to find her purpose. A book about art and culture, Isabella Hammad says Escape was never really an escape, that was the problem. You only stumbled from one thing into another. For some reason, this made me go back to Hamlet and read through to see how beautifully both relate to each other.

A very interesting book and narrated extremely well. I listened to it in Hindi and could relate to multiple incidents and stories. The explanation of each aspect has been explained very beautifully, a message if harmony and enlightenment. The conversation of his Guruand his own thoughts about them, it's such an easy read with so many messages. Originally published in 1946, this book explains the meanings of modern teaching, guru-shishya relationship and importance of being earnest.

“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.” A book about a grief originating from 9/11 attacks. It's about Oskar, a 9 yo boy who struggles to grow over the incident. His father passed away in the attack, but amazingly the story links all characters and plot arising from his life. A good read and now while being made into a movie, eager to see how much justice does it do to the original book.
