Guest Post – The Girl with Golden Highlights by Harsha Sheelam

Posted April 12, 2018 by @amanhimself in Guest Post / 1 Comment

I’m sure you would agree that this story has a happy ending. She was hardly any older than 6 years when her parents, living in a small town of rural India physically abused her, kept her devoid of education and made her do household chores. Now, when I say they belonged to ‘India’, I can hear judgments and pictures of slums thrown at me. No, India’s literacy rate is at 74.04% and also boasts of a few largest companies in the world. Now, let’s go back in 2012 when I came across a little girl. I still don’t know her name, but let’s call her Meera.  Meera was born in Haryana, she lived there with her parents. Today, she doesn’t […]

Posted March 29, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 1 Comment

Anna Sabino is an entrepreneur and she wrote her debut work, Your Creative Career for budding entrepreneurs in mind who want to pursue a creative path. I picked her book in during an important phase of my life. When I needed it. Her suggestions in this book are on how to build a business with a creative mindset that reflects one’s skills and by putting one’s effort, one can have earnings. The book starts with some amount of pep talk that I find essential in the genre this book falls under and motivating personally.

BOOK REVIEW: Treasure Trove of Zodiacs by Tanuj Lalchandani

BOOK REVIEW: Treasure Trove of Zodiacs by Tanuj Lalchandani

Posted March 24, 2018 by @amanhimself in Books, Non-Fiction / 0 Comments

I am among those who are unable to find any consistent logic behind astrology. Yet, an individual who has mastered the art of it can build correct predictions about someone’s characteristic traits on the basis of their zodiac signs. Treasure Trove of Zodiacs is the debut work of Tanuj Lalchandani. Written in-depth about each zodiac sign this book does an excellent job of explaining things to a novice. The book talks about the personality traits of a person, their behavior, a little light on what kind of careers, in general, she or he might like, suggestions on relationships and how to overcome negative vibes such that one can make peace with himself. The artwork used as illustrations is amazing. I […]

BOOK REVIEW: Maps are Lines We Draw by Allison Coffelt

Posted March 20, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 0 Comments

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: Hack the Entrepreneur by Jon Nastor

Posted March 2, 2018 by @amanhimself in Book Reviews, Books / 0 Comments

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.
