Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

 Bad Blood by John Carreyrou 



I am really astonished by this book. How a stupid college graduate fooled the a lot of wealthy and educated people. It seems really ironic. If this book is true about the people and events it's been written then I must say this would be my first time seeing a beautiful but treacherous villain. I always thought those of kind liar and deceptive people only exist in movies. But this Prinston  dropout fooled the whole world almost a decade. 

    When you keep reading it, it makes you hate the central characters of the book which are Elizebeth Holmes and Sunny her Old, arrogant and condescending jackass boyfriend. It is literally very much frustrating  seeing how she always gets away with her lies and deceptions. In the beginning no problem she might have thought she would be able to build that kind of a sophisticated device, but after ten years she must have realized she is kidding herself and wasting millions of dollars of investors. However she kept going. It is obvious that she has lost her conscious in the process of becoming rich. I never hated any character this much and weirdly this character is real and very much alive, breathing right now. It may take some time, in her case a lot of time but eventually the truth prevails. After a decade of lying, her lie finally caught up and she lost everything plus her reputation  and dignity if only she had any.  

I think this was of the best non fictions I have ever read. It was incredible, I believe.  You will definitely enjoy the book especially during reading when you keep searching about facts given in the book on google. It's all there and some of the characters which were Theranos employees or Ex-employee to be correct.  


Best of Luck. 

   Enjoy

After a long time...

After a long time... It's been almost a month since I wrote something. Since then I do not think I have any posts. On June 25 the library stopped issuing books and since then I am stuck with my computer and myself. So far I have some Tv shows; some of them were incredibly interesting. But my favorite was The Blacklist.           I have been waiting for the final results to arrive since I don't know how long. A few days earlier the results of the eighth semester arrived. My CGP in it unbelievably was good or at least what I think it is. It was 7.58; FYI I have never had any CGP as high as this one. So obviously I was thrilled to see the results. But unfortunately, that was all that came. I have some re-appears whose results haven't arrived yet. I am impatiently waiting for them. After it will be clear when I will be leaving India. My visa will expire on 30th July so technically I have only another 18 days to stay here. After that my room will be taken away f...

WISH I COULD TELL YOU by Dorjoy Datta

Wish_I_Could_Tell_You_by_Durjoy_Datta      This is my sixth Novel from Durjoy Datta, I started reading it almost two weeks ago. Then I started my next book "The forty rules of love" by Elif Shafak, I thought it would be more fun if I study both of simultaneously like a couple of pages from one and a couple of topics from other. But before I know it I finished  it completely. It was such an incredible story that I almost forgot the passing of time. I am not sure I had read even 5 pages of this when I was reading the earlier one.         So far I am in page 114/250. It is very shallow in compare to "The Forty Rules of Love". I hate the way these Indian novelist write English, Specially names and using entirely Hindi words in some places. It is super annoying. It did not bother me much in the past when I read a dozens of their Novels but now I guess it does. The best thing for me to do would be to stop reading entirely Novels wr...

I am Still Here

  Frankly, I never thought I would be in Afghanistan even after three years of college graduation. By now I thought I'd be somewhere far off but sadly I am still here. I am not sure when I'd be able to leave. I am afraid if I stayed here for long I might not wanna leave. Plus I am getting older by each year. There is the matter of marriage also. I am not sure how much longer I can keep postponing it. I am not worried so much about the marriage though, still, it seems like I should start thinking about it. But then again marriage can wait but education can't.  I am thinking of starting my higher education online. With the Taliban and their unpredictable rules, getting a passport to travel abroad is not guaranteed. So online education is my only way forward. I am thinking of settling down here; if only I could find the right person. Marriage is a very tricky business, there is no margin for error. For now, I can start my online studies and after a year or two when I am close ...
