BOOK REVIEW: Unforeseen by Chandan Sen Gupta

BOOK REVIEW: Unforeseen by Chandan Sen Gupta

Posted October 9, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 1 Comment

Cleverly woven plots are often a delight for me to read. There are many factors why I like these type of plots and think that the writers who construct them are some of the most skillful in their work. I can start with that these type of plots engage me as a reader like me, I am a very demanding reader, for a longer period of time, or until I run out of pages to read. Mostly, to experience this, the genre of the thriller is often one can rely upon. Chandan Sen Gupta’s latest book, Unforeseen is a great example. When I started reading Unforeseen, it sounded like an ordinary thriller plot which starts with a young Pakistani teacher […]

#BookReview: Dystopia by Manoj Jain

#BookReview: Dystopia by Manoj Jain

Posted October 2, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Fiction / 2 Comments

With a peculiar cover Manoj Jain, this is his 5th book release. I have read some of his work in the past and has expressed my views accordingly. I am on a firm belief that writer Manoj Jain’s work is mostly targeted to the length of a novella, he is definitely trying to accomplish something there. The storyline of his latest novel revolves around the peculiar nature of a child and their parents. The theme of this novella is everything related to a childhood. The pain of growing up, teenage angst, role identities, and parenting. A spirit is constantly present guiding these children and oversees their journey in the beautiful fantasy land of Shambala, a kingdom where children start their travels […]

#BookReview: Influencer by Brittany Hennessy

Posted September 29, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books / 3 Comments

Brittany Hennessy does a great job on writing a book about that targets Instagram as the platform to promote your work. Appropriately titled, Influencer: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of Social Media this book makes you understand the strategies behind the Insta-popularity/lifestyle. As a blogger myself, I started Instagram very late. I do not think it is important to be on every platform personally if you are one man army but I do think Instagram is a great core source of Digital Marketing in the modern day world. After using it for seven months now, I find there are two kinds of people on it, the one with many followers and the one lesser followers. I am not […]

#BookReview: Positive Eating by Radhika Toshniwal

#BookReview: Positive Eating by Radhika Toshniwal

Posted September 20, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Non-Fiction / 2 Comments

Sports nutritionist Radhika Toshniwal has launched her book that tries to put emphasis on eating healthy. The book is titled, Positive Eating, A Guide to Everyday Health and Nutrition with Easy-to-Cook Recipes. It does get clear from the title that book is full of recipes. The presentation of these recipes, however, is mind-blowing. I loved the artwork that comes along with every recipe turned into a dish. The content in the book presented is top notch, there is no doubt about that. I learned that some of the recipes are the result of unconventional combinations of ingredients which I found surprising. My favorite recipes were coffee related which are described at the end of the book. Even though it is […]
