Book Review - December in Dacca by K.S. Nair . ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ☕ Some books left you with a tear-jerking remembrance of old pain, this book is one of them. This book opened up some old wounds and filled my heart with searing pain. A pain that would penetrate every Bengali's heart. This is one helluva book that tells a lot about our two neighboring countries and I was eagerly waiting to read this book. One night how their own country turned out to be a slaughterhouse for them! How could someone do this genocide, the thought to do this heinous thing to their own countrymen makes me speechless. Just because their language and culture are a little bit different, that's how they tried to give a justification for this thought of not giving approval to their countrymen's democratic rights and set the country ablaze with fire. Millions of people become a refugee and flew to the nearest country in search of shelter and security because their government announced operation searchlight. This book described how India enormously fought to win the diplomatic battle in UN for Bangladesh's establishment and the sporadic war in its own northwest zone. India finally fought into the battleground of Bangladesh's own soil to give Bengalis their rights. This is also a significant moment in Indian history because at that time India was facing her own struggle with the post-colonial establishment. It was a series of remarkable operations made by newborn India. Spectacular description of India's involvement, India's preparation for battle in every section, Army's, Navy and Air force, thoroughly described here, 10 days battle of these three fields embedded in every page enough to send chill feeling up the spine. This pictorial depiction makes me read this book breathlessly, I wanted to stop, desperately needed to halt, wanted to exhale, sit back, and breathe but I couldn't. 3 million Bangladeshi people were killed from May - to December 16, 1971, Do you remember the holocaust? 3 million Bangladeshi people were killed from May - to December 16, 1971, Do you remember the holocaust? There were approximately 6 million Jews murdered in the Nazi Holocaust who were put to death over a period of at least 6 years. It exceeds that of the Nazis by at least 33% which was deliberately tried to erase from people's minds after the establishment of Bangladesh. ☕ The author tried to shed an attempt on how India also let it happen and why India never glorify its biggest accomplishment in a war history, which India actually deserved, this victory would be as glorious as world war 2 not because of its powerful impact but also in morality. ☕ The author here strives to find out the reason behind this misshapen and I found myself totally resonated with his approach. In this war, India eventually lost 3,500 Indian soldiers, and 10,000 were injured in this short 10 days war. ☕ In this book, the author presented impeccably researched work. The author encrypted the nuances of war in the pulsating narrative, with crispy words author K. S. Nair makes this book an amazing read, it's not like any dull documentary. I would recommend this book to all history lovers and to those who want to read political war history. Read this book and let me know your perspective of this book.

The 7th cup by Nitesh Kumar Jain Genre - Suspense Thriller / Psychological Page - 311 Rating - 3.9/5 I was reading it and believe me I couldn't guess it will come up like this. It evoked laughter inside me, I am laughing while reading a book after a long time. This book is successful in elevating my heart beat with every passing page. It's a thriller but started with a fun-filled romantic angle which I find quite refreshing. Really, I don't read romance books, but the way the author weaved the story enjoyed myself. Captivating and refreshing prose, but if you are a mystery gobbler surely you can sense the lurking thrill and mystery behind the curtain. "She stood right next to me in the cafe like a painted picture of unknown emotions" It's a story of 5 college friends and a missing person investigation case. I don't know how to describe the story without unraveling the mystery, it's beyond me. The first half was fun-filled and the second half part is highly compelling with mysteries. Author Nitesh Jain knows how to glue readers anyway. This book is like A timeless whirl through the surreal view of the world. The story goes on from India to Switzerland. Though it's started slowly, still I liked the premise. Author is a good storyteller. Well staged plot, twists, turns, and fun along with gripping narrative build interest steadily. It amazed me how perfectly the author used 'the law of attraction formula' to build the story. Such a wonderful mystery novel with some theoretical notes on the human mind and brain which I enjoyed thoroughly. Be prepared to get some knowledge boost. I liked how with minimalist description author built characters here. The author creates mystery and fun with the same ease which is commendable. if you are in reading slumps go for it, it's fun, it's mysterious, it's chilling. The eloquence is filled with elegance. Writing is very smooth, gliding from funny sequence to a mystery was very enjoyable. Thanks @nitsgoa for writing this fun-packed thriller, I would like to read more from you, waiting for your next book.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune." - Jim Rohn And.. "Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble. " - Shahrukh Khan This quote is perfectly fitted with our author's effort in this book. This is a great humble tribute to his own life experience. And author picked up his pen to save students, the young India, from misleading and misguided mindsets, which is college life's predicament for most of us. I liked, how he says that just doing study and being prepared isn't enough but we must know the lurking treacherous things that come our way whilst foundational years. Not only being focused, but it is equally important to know what could come our way to mislead us. If we don't know how youths get misleading then how we would prevent ourselves from this. There is no use in knowing only how to do concentrate unless you know how the distraction happening in our school and campuses. Whining about success preparation and idolized people is not enough for rooting determination in mind. I started reading this from the Book Preface, the very beginning book, and was immediately attracted to know that he is one of among India's successful young entrepreneurs, he started business in 2009-10 and he received the ‘Young Entrepreneur’ award in London in 2013 which given by Youth Business International. He is also an author and wrote a beautiful, poignant and profound novel about the most glorious mythical villain ‘Ravan'. "We learn from failure, not from success." - Bram Stoker. This book has several parts and is divided into Rat Race, Mentor, Job, struggle, Inspiration, Start-up, Entrepreneur, Aspiration, Workload, Boss, Vision, and Passion. The author starts it with his own life expectancy, experience, failure, and his practical thinking of dissecting and critical analysis of his own deeds makes amused. The examples he shares from his life implied questions to our Indian upbringing manner, society, and lack of knowledge of parenthood. You will be witness here how the author explained the situation where students can be self-deluded, misled by half-baked knowledge, wrong idolism. He had given his experience in very easy language and simplicity. We all go through this kind of situation but few of us are able to protect ourselves from ruining our life. In each chapter, the author unfolded his life experiences. It became a bit slow in the middle but his bold words and strong writing style make it an interesting approach for me. What is the main thing that made this book stand out for me is the author didn't feel to hide any of his mistakes and described everything, he didn't hide in being politically correct in writing. I would recommend this to all those who are at the start as a student, a book to read absolutely for all.

I am not really fond of motivational books or biographies but sometimes I like to know about people, how was their lives and what's going on around us, so just in curiosity I picked up this book and it makes me spellbound with its' awesome writing style. Author wrote such a gorgeous book, she really knows how to play with words. What is a breakthrough? A Sudden change which brings out important development in life, one courageous move, a step forward to cross the line of fear and figure it out this is the call! Ya, this is the breakthrough, and some ordinary people when make it happen, when they discovered their call they become phenomenal. The Breakthrough book is a collection of phenomenal actions taken in a hard time, stepping out from fear of leaving the comfort zone and trying the ''luck''. Its woven tapestries of various people's memoirs, a glimpse of their childhood, school life, their valorous moves, inspirational lives from various parts of the society, and financial background. Their valiant effort and author's courageous shot to make it a really different kind of read is commendable. It has 11 compelling and inspiring stories from across the nation. This book is for when we need a courage booster, a reminder we must nurture our inner strength and think out of the box, stretch ourselves a little more. I was stunned by the immaculate intricacies of her words. This is her writing power that never let me think that this is a book of some biographies. Very cheerful, joyous drawing on maxims with sprinkle of poetic. It's the plus point of this book, fun-filled scribble keeps you turning pages and leads you to the end very easily. It's enlisted 10 people's life stories, every story starts with a poetic name and meaning full cover pictures for each person's life, and every life story is carved in different color full page. Such a beautiful book. It's a totally different book from any other biographies that I have read before. I absolutely liked it and recommend it to all readers, Give it a try. It was a really really great experience to read this book, thanks to the author

In the days of old, it was values and ethics and friendships. They call it business ok. But it's personal as hell. Gun for gun. "Caporagime " "Consigliori" are words that will make you nostalgic for the rest of your life.. Recently I have read two books that depicted human psychology and the dark side of their nature, their distinguished thinking, their code of ethics that they refused to live by rules set up by others sounds very similar in both books. Maybe that's why they became epic in literary history. First was Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and the second was Mario Puzo's epic book The Godfather, both are from a very different era but I found a similar topic they tried to portray in their canvas, the darkest side of human nature. One is the old dramatic and psychological style and another one is the 20'th century's modern write-up, a typical American, bold and electrifying, stylish narrative to engraved a sophisticated beast, the human, the Mafia, the underworld story. I wanted to read this book for years, first, I saw the movie then was tempted to read this intense crafting of the underworld and Don Corleone's searing family saga. Is it the first book that based upon the crime world gave us a true gorgeous portrait? The way Puzo blends the story with action, crime, family values is mind-boggling. Explosive showdown in every chapter and this third-person point of view narration style makes me feel like the author actually watched this and brought to us a true event. This is definitely one of the most eminent writing styles I have ever read and makes it a breathless read. For someone like me who loves to explore writers and relish crafted writing styles, this book gives the true pleasure of reading. The unpredictability of this story, the way he spins the wheel to keep readers turning pages is enormous. The story of family value, the friendship, the brotherhood, woven in an uncanny world of blackmailing, murder, unethical businesses, an unmistakable cocktail author presented in this book. The book has combined with 9 parts. Every character has a single part of their own, Puzo lets them flourish in their full bloom. It has all the elements to be a masterpiece, a classic. I had heard a lot about this book, I heard it is based upon reality, based on the real "Five Families", who are the Mafia organization in New York and the surrounding area. The novel also depicted the character of Frank Sinatra as Johnny Fontane and Moe Greene on Bugsy Siegel. In addition, the character of Vito Corleone was a composite of real-life organized crime bosses Frank Costello and Carlo Gambino. After knowing these facts I was digging more and found that "the Corleone family has loosely resembled with the Karamazov family in The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostyvosky, a story of a powerful father, an impulsive oldest son, a philosophical son, a sweet-tempered son, and an adopted stepson who is maintained as an employee.
