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

The Belated Bachelor Party by Ravinder Singh

  The Belated Bachelor Party     This was sixth and the worst book from Ravinder Singh that I have read so far. The story does not make any sense whatsoever. Just a bunch of immature married friends get together after almost ten years of graduating from college. But the stuff they do the things they say and discuss are completely disgusting and juvenile.          Despite of being married for at least a couple of year they behave more immature that a fifteen years old boy. The story was tooooo shallow. Ravinder Singh is Indian so I never had higher expectation from him when it comes to vocabulary. But his stories are usually really good   except this one. I don't know what happened to him. My guess is he run out of ideas. After all how many stories can you write while being stuck in one of the most populated cities on earth.  I am so disappointed that i can't even recommend this book for other people. Do not read this book. never EVER.  rEDD Something Else

The Bastard of Istabul By Elif Shafak

 The Bastard of Istabul By Elif Shafak Among four of the Elif Shafak's books which I read and Three which I finished this  was the most disappointing one. The story does not make any sense whatsoever. She is like a history teacher and this is a history book; talking about Turkish and Armanian people and the challenges and conflicts between them. She brags and brags about how Armanian people have been wronged by Turkish army in 1915 and how they have been forced to leave their homes...     The characters in this book are the worst of all time. A bunch of cynical, unhappy and ungrateful morons. There are two main characters; Asya and Armanoush(amy). You might be wondering who was the bastard of  Istanbul; spoiler alert, it is Asya. She is nineteen years old now the age her mother Zeliha was when she had her. Her mother was a rebellious girl always trying to defy her mother; during one of her rebellions   she ended up with a bastard child in her womb. Although she tells no one about w

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 goin

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

 Angels and Demons by Dan Brown   Angles and demons was my first book by the great American author Dan Brown. I quit enjoyed the story, Even though it's vocabulary was a little too sophisticated for my taste but still I got the story almost vividly. I loved the way it's been written, the twist was awesome. Right from the beginning I fell in love with the characters specially  Robert and vittoria. They were really good. I am not sure about accuracy given in this book but even reading about them were quit exhilarating.  The whole events take place from morning 5 AM up to tomorrow's morning.       I am truly amazed by the way these authors write stories. Every details given in a very interesting way. During the story you don't wanna leave the book even for a second. You just wanna keep reading one event after another till the last. However I think the ending could have been much better and honestly it really should have been.      I usually do not read long books. But this

A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

 A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle  This  was my second book by great and incredible author Ekhart Tolle. Again I am amazed by depth of his understanding and meaningful ways of explaining the ideas. It took me four days to finished this book and during those days I was mysteriously happy. I was remembering all good things about my life and myself. It was very odd because I rarely do that. I mean most of the time I criticize myself for the wrong decisions I have made through out my life like everyone else but those four days and few days after that were totally different. I had a very high spirit; feeling motivated all the time.         I have to admit Eckhart Tolle has it's own miraculously way of writing a book. The guy knows something. He practically knows about every religion and teaching who haver ever mentioned anything about human spirituality. It did not have much new ideas but the ones which it had were pretty awesome.      In all the self help book I have I found a single idea

Atomic Habits by James clear

 Atomic Habits by James clear    So this book might be first one from James clear which I read. For a young writer it was quite impressive. I am glad that I read this book. For a very long time I had wanted to read this book but I never had it to read it; of course until I bought a kindle. I think it's an easy read. very simple words but very effective methods. Throughout the book he talks about different strategies about making atomic habits. One of his main ideas was that we have to make good habits a part of our identity. So that it can last as long as we live. and so many other strategies.  Here are some beautiful and wise quotes from this book.  # "Every actions you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity." # "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." # "You should be far more c

And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini

 And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini  This one is the third book from Khalid Husseini which I have read, and the second one which I finished completely. This is a story about love, loyalty, and compassion sacrifice. It is very different than the previous two of his book in which he focuses on the main characters but in this one, you won't have the same experience. Just when you think you are getting connected deeply with a character; it ends. And the story starts to be someone entirely different with a bit of connection with the previous character.          When it starts you would think it is about Abdullah and his little sister Pari; which quite of portion it really is about. But then another chapter starts and a new character rises and a new story beings. In short, you won't get attached to a single character.        I was a little bit disappointed because it was nothing I had expected I mean Khalid Husseini always writes miracles but much to my disappointment this o

Family Wisdom by Robin Sharma

Family Wisdom by Robin Sharma   Robin sharma and his crappy monk stories. I don't know how long he will keep bragging this stupid imaginary monk in his books. So this book is again like the previous one(the monk who sold his Ferrari) about the imaginary character Julian Mantle or his monk buddy who used to be a very rich and successful lawyer but after he losses his daughter in a car accident, he gets so discouraged from his luxurious life and sales all of his properties including his red Ferrari (what he does with all that money remains a complete mystery in all of his book about this monk). And moves to North India to find enlightenment. In there he finds out about a group of stupid monks who live in Himalya mountains. They are called Sages of Sivana. Somehow he finds them and request them to teach him their way of living, they accept to do so and he apparently transforms to a different person. The monks before teaching him anything take a promise that at the end of his lessons h

The pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho

The pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho    Paulo Coelho and his stupid journeys of enlightenment. This might be the worst and most tedious book I have ever read or I will ever read. The story does not make any sense at all. I have read a couple of his books and truth to be told I did not like them much either. He sounds crazy in most of the part. This book is supposed to be based on real events but events are more made up than a Sci-Fi movie. Finishing this book was the hardest thing I did in a very long time. So the story begins when he starts his search for his sword  along the road to santinago as a pilgrimage. I have absolutely no idea what the fuck he wants to do with it. And then there is his guide through out the rout to Santiago which makes no sense and the power he seems to posses are so absurd and imaginary. On the way to Santiago a lot of things happen which almost all of them are completely made up stories and non of it makes any sense whatsoever. Poulo is amazed by the powers his g

Honour by Elif Shafak.

Honour by Elif Shafak 24/05/2020  5:03 AM  A few days ago I started this book called Honour by my favorite fiction author Elif Shafak. I had read one her books a couple of weeks ago " The forty rules of love" which was incredibly interesting. I thought to myself I should read her other books too. So I found the PDF of another of her books and to read it at ease I made xerox copy of it. Because I could not order it online, it would have taken a lot more to arrive.      So after making copy of it, I started reading it. Right now I am in the last pages. I will probably finish it  by the next hour. let me finish it first then I will write my views about the book    2:05 PM      I just finished the book. I could have finished it earlier but I got tired and took a nap before lunch and then had lunch and started the book.      This might be one of the best thing I have read. Elif Shafak is incredibly talented. It's like she knows everything about topics she writes about. The sto

If_It's_Not_Forever by Durjoy_Datta_&_Nikita_Singh

If_It's_Not_Forever by Durjoy_Datta_&_Nikita_Singh 7/05/2020 10:47PM This is the next book from those three books which I am currently reading. I came across this book when I was searching PDF books for my friend in Afghanistan. Then I searched it on google, rating was good and also 96% people have liked it already, So I thought what the hell! just read it. This book has been written by my two favorite Indian Novelists Durjoy Datta and the beautiful Nikita Singh. Last year I had read their another shared Novel. It was #Some_one_Like_you, which was incredible. I really loved it.  Also It's been a long time for me since I read a romantic Novel. Right now I am in page 45. I liked the story let's see what will happen next. I might write the short version of it later on here. Now let's go back to book.... 10/05/2020 4:29 AM   I finished the book I short I loved the book, it was worth reading. This was entirely about true and selfless love. It was

The_Power_of_Now by Eckhart_Tolle

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle   So many books, So little time..... This morning I finished reading this book. This was another book recommended by my Kashmiri friend Amir Hussain. As he had told me about this book, it really was a master piece. The ideas are so practical, realistic and helpful. Writing is another point of strength of this book, it is remarkably fantastic; after all writer is the best spiritual leader in entire USA. I enjoyed a lot this book and I will recommend it to everyone specially those people who are going through a rough time or meeting some new challenges in life. It gives hope, it inspires the reader. Basically it gives a whole different perspective about world around us visible and invisible.    Practicing these ideas and ways will transform to a complete different person with inner enlightenment. I do not know why but I have been feeling really great about myself and everything in my life ever since I started reading this book. It describes
