Covid times have indeed been hard on all of us. We had online schools and colleges and work from home. And work from home is what took our protagonist of the book 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐬 , Iti back to her hometown. Where Iti is working on her movie script and also revisiting her past through her diaries. The story of Iti is very simple and subtle. Reading her old diaries she recollects so many memories. The book was so true and relevant to times when life wasn't much' happening', so is this book, it's really simple with some little twists at the end that replicate everybody's life during covid,simple life with a few turns. My favourite thing about the book is definitely the end, the book is all about the power of the fiction. I am a fiction lover and I loved how Iti comforted herself from fiction. Lastly, the diary entries were very well written in accordance with the characters age. They sometimes made you so sad or gave butterflies in your stomach. What did not work for me was the language. It indeed is immaculate but I have heard a lot about Stuti Changle and this being my first read I was really excited. But I am very sure that Stuti is bound to present readers with many more amusing books , getting better with each one of them

I am a huge admirer of Bollywood movies. And I am very sure we all have grown up quoting some famous dialogues from the Bollywood villains. This book is an unique collection of knowledge on Bollywood villains. Back to the 18s and much more up to the present. It demonstrates how the psychology of villains evolved throughout the entire Bollywood history, from the black and white era to the LCD times. For a Cinema lover, especially Bollywood loved, this book is just perfect. You see your favourite villain with new eyes and revisit all those characters.Besides, you also get some great movie recommendations. I would also recommend it to people who are not much fan of bollywood. Even though the book stars Bollywood villains, the writing is for everyone. Balaji Vittal has got very fine observational skill and has penned down those observations very well.

Mr. Bond's "How to Live Your Life" is not any self help book. But, it's a letter that Mr Bond has penned for all his beloved readers. We all love this man, why? Because he is simply the best. And so was this book, it's very easy to read and relatable to every extent. It's just really sweet. Mr Bond shares his useful tips on various aspects of life. My favourite one is featured in this post. Titled 'Love'. Why should you pick this book up? Because one, it's written by Ruskin Bond. Two, it's something you can go through within an hour or two. Three, it's a wholesome book like any other book by Ruskin Bond. It does not have a guide or something, it's just pure advice, and when Mr Bond gives advice on life, you do nothing but take it. Annndd, This book also has a handwritten letter by Ruskin Bond

Life is full of challenges. The challenges give rise to a lot of questions like, who are you? What do you desire in life? and many more.

He has presented well-researched anecdotes that make the book a very easy yet amazing read. The language is easy to decipher and the book helps you get a better perspective. There was a lot to learn from the book. Considering the positions that the author holds in his life, the book presents you with an insight into the same.
