3 Popular books which almost made it to my Favourites List (but fell short)

And all it would have taken is – Tighter Editing — A book which works for one might not work for another. So these are purely my opinions of 3 books which I loved reading this year but which fell a little short of greatness simply because of one main reason- lack of tighter editing. Of the many tasks involved in…

I like big books and I cannot lie!

Holding on to the old-world charms, as delayed gratification goes a long way! — In a world where there is a constant need for instant gratification, I often find myself taking the long route.

5 (unsettling) thoughts after reading Bad Blood

The un-put-downable investigative book about Silicon Valley’s biggest fraud — This was long due but a book such as Bad Blood, needs to be discussed. (And what better day than today when its major culprit- Sunny Balwani has been sentenced to nearly 13 years of imprisonment.)

Divine Comedy- Inferno

Is a book, written in 1320, still relevant today? How our understanding of sin has changed over centuries. After contemplating for long, this year I finally took up the challenge of reading the first part of Dante’s Divine Comedy- ‘Inferno’. The book is a difficult read because (a) the book…

Man’s Search for Meaning

Earlier this year Dostoevesky’s book posed a number of questions to ponder on- What is the purpose and meaning of pain and suffering? What is the justification behind suffering of a child? Why did God give us freewill when it further confuses human beings who do not know which path…
