Maps are Lines We Draw is Allison Coffelt’s travel memoir. The book that is actually a novella, deciphers the culture of Haiti. I picked this book because of the cover and the title mainly. They both compliment each other and is a good attraction. Little did I know of Allison’s writing style at that time.

BOOK REVIEW: Mountains to Manhattan by Pinakie Kansabanik

Posted March 13, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books, Fiction / 1 Comment

The stories that explore harsh realities always fascinate me. Mountains to Manhattan is a book about Tibetan immigrants to India after the invasion of Red Army. What more fascinated me about this book is that the author has narrated the whole story by opting the opposite gender. The plot revolves around a young, and smart Tenzin Lhamo who was labeled as a refugee before she was born. After the invasion of Red Army her mother, aunt and grandmother had to leave Tibet and settled in India.

BOOK REVIEW: Origami Birds by Tanya Jain

BOOK REVIEW: Origami Birds by Tanya Jain

Posted March 6, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books / 2 Comments

Origami Birds is a collection of forty-four poems written by Tanya Jain. In order to reach a reader’s heart these poems do cover a lot of topics that some of them might be considered sensitive but then I guess poetry is a way of expressing one’s feelings and a way for those who read them to share those expressions and feel a warmth in their heart too. It works both ways.   The title of this collection is rightly justified. When I received, I was curious about it and found a satisfactory verse that introduced me to it at the start:   Some birds are free, Some birds are caged. This origami bird is molded from a page. Set her […]

Jon Nastor is a famous podcaster by the name of Hack the Entrepreneur which shares same title as the book. I picked this book because I read somewhere about it in which they mentioned as quote from Nastor that no body is born an entrepreneur. It is sort of a skill plus lifestyle that you have to create, build around and live. Though after picking up this book, I can say, there are some inspiring moments mentioned in this book.
