The Third Door by Alex Banyan

 The Third Door by Alex Banyan 

 
   I gotta say first I liked the way this book started but soon it changes from it's main idea. It went completely astray. The starting idea of the book was how to overcome  procrastination  and work our dream; and also how to find out what truly we want. The starting journey really inspiring but soon turned in to  a creepy stalking story. Where the writer the creepy stalker. Leaving everything to just talk to famous and successful people. But I just don't get there is nothing unknown about those people to public. There have been written hundreds of books about them and there are millions of video on youtube.  One by going through them can find out everything about those entrepreneurs. 

    His main list was really great but he only ended up interviewing only Bill Gates from that list. Which was by the way a worst interview of it's kind. Instead of asking how Bill Gates overcome all those challenges of teenage; he asked about his marketing strategies. Who are you dude? my business partner!!! He was asking these obnoxious questions like he was also an entrepreneur, try to sale him his product. 

    No one from his main list of successful people gave a crap about  him except Bill Gates. Instead his interviewed some other very less popular people. I can't believe he took a complete year off because of all these stupid and fruitless interviews. Non of those people whom he interviewed had said anything at all. It was just a repetition of what we all including knew about those people. 
 
    I must say I was surprised by seeing that this book had a very high rating. I just could not uderstand what the hell did learn from all those interviews. He wasted three years of his life and result was what?! A stupid book filled with repeated and already know facts and ideas. I don't about others things he might have learned but I think in those three years he became the world's best creepy stalker. What he did with his life after all these obsolete interviews is also vague. But when I searched him on youtube a video of him popped out. Apparently he became kind of motivational speaker as if we did not already have enough of those  freaks. By seeing his youtube video I realized the guy whom he described himself to be in the book and the guy in real life are completely different. 

    Well! This was another three days of my life which I am never going to get back. 


THE END

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 ...
