 The Reader

This is one of those weeks where I have no content to write but have to put out something interesting and unique. Bare with me.

Reading books had always been my go-to whenever I feel depressed. Not everyone knows how amazing is to read a book rather than watching the story as a movie or a tv show. Below is the list of 9 books/series of books which have taken a forever place in my self of best books. (Not exactly in this order).


1. Recursion - by Blake Crouch

Thriller, Fantasy, Love, Sci-fi

The genres you see above are the ones I always prefer. Getting all of those in a single book is a dream come true. Even if I say a single point from the book, that would be a spoiler.


2. Dark Matter - by Blake Crouch

Thriller, Fantasy, Love, Sci-fi

Same genres, same author, amazing story. If you love these genres, have a look at these books.


3. The Institute - by Stephen King

Thriller, Fantasy, Sci-fi

By the legendary Stephen King. This book takes you through a chilling experience of how you could add a pinch of fantasy into real life.


4. Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta - by Amish Tripathi

Thriller, Love, Mythology fiction

Ah! You didn't expect love in this. Neither did I when I started this book. This is the third book of RAM CHANDRA SERIES. This is a rewrite of the Mythological story of Ram with maximum logic involved. We all know the story of Ram and Sita. But, Raavan's backstory's a mystery. This book opens up a whole new world of it. Adding to it, the action sequences of Amish's magical writing make this book a roller coaster ride.


5. Shiva trilogy - by Amish Tripathi

Thriller, Love, Mythology fiction

I didn't know the story of Lord Shiva before. This series had described the character in a way like never before. A three-book series, which had taken a new place in my heart. Of course, the anger in some parts of the book is beautifully written down by Amish. This writer just blows my mind every time.


6. A Walk to Remember - by Nicholas Sparks

Love

The first half is a bit slow. Bare with it. There's a switch in the middle. Once you are past that, the story just flies. I've read love genre books where the whole book is interesting. But in this, the switch in the middle of the book is just too good. Also, with a twist on the last page of the book (If you understand it).


7. Steve Jobs - by Walter Isaacson

Biography

The classic story of the mastermind behind Apple. A true masterpiece. Of course, there will be some pages that are a bit slow in a Biography genre book. But, turning the last page had brought up a whole new way in the way I conceive the information around me.


8. Elon Musk - by Ashlee Vance

Biography

The very first book which had brought me into the book reading community. A true masterpiece same as above. The legendary Billionaire. The exciting part for me was when I tweeted about this book. the writer himself had liked the tweet. This might be common for some, but for me, a literal achievement. Maybe, that like had brought out the reader in me.


9. The Expanse - By James S.A. Corey

Thriller, Sci-fi, Fantasy

Sci-fi s are just amazing. I'm still reading this series. The first half of the very first book s introduction of vital characters of the story. You go past that, the story's unstoppable. Now, it feels like I know every single move the protagonist "James Holden" is gonna make.


Don't shoot me if I got the genres wrong. Those are the genres the books fall into as per my perspective. You call me any day and ask me about any of these books, my excitement just explodes. Wanna have a try?

WEEK-IN #3

Today's content is provided by one of my BTech friends, Prathibha. Have a look at today's blog from a girl's perspective. I thank Prathibha for supporting the project. Invisible Pressure Our generation of students seems to be having fun and enjoying life, but we too are under the constant pressure of planning our next step. This has been way too much to handle and is leading to frustration for the masses. If you are a girl and you get a job, you are put on a schedule. Plan for marriage, then kids, then their education, and back to the start of their marriage. If you are a boy and you get a job, that very moment you'll have to take up the whole responsibility of family and handle everything as fast as possible. These pressures are building up in our minds and bring out either Bad results or A lot of frustation. We do understand the reason for our parents creating this schedule of life, but we all need some time to adjust. We only need a couple of things. Responsibilities...

Spend Wisely

Spending money is hell lot complicated than what I thought of it in my childhood. Every time I pull out some money from my pocket, I think whether to spend them or not, and I think even more after spending them. Planning to spend those bucks was very hard for me. The following two people helped me a lot on where to spend and where to save. Rohit Neelakantham Rohit Neelakantham      I met him at Idealabs. I knew him for about 4 days. We both were travelling in his car. As you all know, I just keep talking all the time. I asked him about his job and stuff. Then, I started asking about his car (Ford Ecosport #dreamcar). He was like, "I used to teach tuitions in my college days. I saved all that money and paid downpayment for this car which was around ₹.2 lakh." I was like, "Holy shit! You saved 2 lakhs from the fee you got from tuitions." He replied, "Yes. It probably took years, but I did save. I always had a dream of buying a car with my own money, an...

At last, you three found time for an awesome destination. Three of you started at 5'o clock in the morning. On your car, way to Coorg. Weather was a bit windy, but you three were excited.

Whole day, you three weren't even able to go out of the hotel. So, you stayed till evening with some hope to visit at least a fraction of Coorg. Nope! Not happening. Whole day, it rained like it hasn't rained in years.  Successive day, early in the morning, ...
