Humaari Adhuri Kahaani I have not seen the movie, I have just read the book. It is an easy read, and is a very typical Bollywood love story but with some sensitive issues involved. If you want to read the book, do not read it for the storyline. Read it for the dialogues. I really loved the dialogues in this book. Describing love is perhaps one of the most difficult things, but throughout the book, you will come across different definitions of love that would just make you sit and ponder on it for quite a while. Here are my favourite quotes from the book:  " If she were that simple, would she be worth seeking?" "Why did it seem so difficult to talk about love? Because the world offered, again and again, instances of love, not just love that was mentioned or spoken of but love in action. Only a cynic could doubt the power of Love or it's reality, and only a fool could be a cynic" " Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul d

This book has made me see the world differently. A new approach to economics with the examples of the modern age- Peter Thiel himself, Elon Musk and of different companies like PayPal, Oracle, Google etc. It has the economics we need to study to understand and survive the coming age of startups. The book starts with the quote: EVERY MOMENT IN BUSINESS happens only once.  The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won’t create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren’t learning from them. The First chapter revolves around this quote about the originality of the idea, which is the whole explanation of the title of the book.  The author believes there are two types of innovation. If you take something that exists and improves upon it, you go from 1 to n. However, if we create something new on the other hand, we go from “0 to 1." This also explains the p

 Too Much Trouble - Ruskin bond A book review ( with an interpretation )   This book is a perfect children's book, it is funny, it has morals that lighten up your heart. Throughout the book, I was constantly smiling because it reminded me how I loved such stories during my childhood. But being a 19-year-old I have a very different interpretation of this book:  "We eventually start adjusting to circumstances" In the book, the young narrator and his family start adjusting with some troublesome guests- Elusive python, A naughty monkey, And even a mischievous ghost. It is funny how a children's book can answer your problems when no one can, over-thinker by nature, I'm always tempted to look back into my past and be bothered by it. Now, my interpretation is that we all have something in the past that keeps bothering us in our present- the lost battles, the heartbreaks, failures, regrets etc.. The small ones are the animals while the bigger on

Why I Am An Atheist -  A Pamphlet written by Bhagat Singh   This book isn't for a weak-willed person, but for a person with an uncompromising heart, who will not follow this blindly, but will question it, criticize it and think it over will actually understand what this book is about. Because this is what Bhagat Singh conveys to us by his book To question our beliefs. We all read history in our school, what we really don’t learn are the reasons behind them, the feelings of the revolutionaries. And even if someday history repeats itself, what will matter the most is the fact most ignored in our curriculum. How those times were for an individual, how it is being in jail constantly fighting your solace, questioning your beliefs? My favorite quote from the book is "the sword of revolution is sharpened at the whetstone of thought" Are we still not colonized? Because we still understand things from the perspective being imposed on us by society. We still do not qu
