Just Aspire

Just Aspire by Ajai Chowdhry is a biography. The author narrates his story from his childhood, how he became part of the founding members of HCL and how the entrepreneur journey sculpted him into the person he is now his ideas, and his thinking. I loved how he narrated his experience and gave insights and explanations about his likings, which are similar to my interest in books, futurology techs and space, which connected me to the story and author. The author explained how he had a work-life balance, how he had spent time with family and explained about the family members and bonds. I loved he was a responsible person and contributed to being a part of an NGO and starting one to help people in need. He had the passion and commitment to make changes in the industry he worked and in people’s life. I loved the way he explained about IITs and how I made some changes that had a great impact. Whatever the work is do it with full commitment and passion, and the results will come along as expected.

The writing connects with readers. A well-narrated journey of knowledge sharing from an experienced personality is an inspiration for the current generation. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in reading a biography and knowing about entrepreneurship and its experiences which can help them in their entrepreneurial journey.

Home Detox

 

The book gives you a lot of information about how our homes are full of toxins that are causing health issues. Every room in our house is filled with toxic items from the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom to our garden. The author also explains how the plastics and other things we use are affecting the whole family and our neighbours. The author gives recipes to prepare liquid soap, glass spray, dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, bug spray and other essential items made of natural items available at home which are not toxic. Even the clothes we wear, and the current furniture made of wood we buy have some hazardous chemicals. We should create a good environment to live in and survive for the next generation. 

We can reduce, reuse and produce less waste, small changes each day and really bringing a positive impact in our lives.  The author explains on varied topics how electronics produce chemicals when they heat up and about EMF and how it affects kids more, the kitchen which we use like Teflon coated non-stick pans which are harmful to us. 

We are ingesting, inhaling and absorbing a lot of hazardous chemicals from our homes than from outside. I found this book useful for me to know and help myself and my reader and nonreader friends to bring some changes to our home that can positively impact our surroundings. If you want to bring some changes into your lives and create a toxin-free zone the book is the right choice for you.

Just Saying

Just Saying by Sophie Ranald is a romantic read with a lot of stories entwined with a lot of characters. The protagonist of the story is Alice who was a trainee in a Law firm and was in a relationship with another trainee in the same firm. Thinkings start turning down when the head of her department Gordon was removed and Alice should either move to another department or leave and find a job somewhere else but she changes her mind to join a pub as a part-time worker and things start changing as Joe brings his ex-girlfriend to another room so they can share rent as the income from Alice is less. Zoe tries to lure and get back Joe and  Alice is hardworking to get crowdfunding for the pub she is working to not get sold out there is another story of Maurice and Wesly who kept a secret thinking it a shameful thing for forty years and which may cause detention to Wesly from London. 

The story mainly revolves around these people and how think to get carried down and what happens at the end. I loved reading it and enjoyed the writing style of the author how the story was divided into each chapter and the way the past events of Alice are narrated like her memory than saying it to someone else and the way each character was developed. I liked Heather who was her best friend to whom she confides everything. 

The book is for people who love romance with some humour and satire.

 

The Zen Mama Guide to Finding Your Rhythm in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond by Teresa Palmer; Sarah Wright Olsen

This is an excellent read for people who are planning to have kids. The book covers a lot of topics like pregnancy planning, pregnancy loss and each trimester and post-pregnancy and postpartum depression. Each stage is explained in detail and what they experienced and other moms and moms to be experienced were there. I really loved the way they explained pregnancy loss they used this word instead of miscarriage and how the loss is different for everyone and how it affects and what needs to be done to have a good relationship with yourself and your partner than detaching from everyone around. As mentioned in the title it talks about the birth and beyond and I wish you read to understand what would be good for you as Sara and Teresa have shared a lot of stuff that is helpful for people across the world who wish to have little ones in their life and to feel the parenthood.

I really there are different ways and positions to give birth as I have watched only one position in movies and in a hospital and I got to know more about it we should find the right doctor or midwife who matches our mindset and we should be able to feel secure talking to them. Changing doctors to get the right and comfortable one is not bad.

The writing style was so simple and lucid and I liked how they were expressing themselves openly so that it help others there are a few pictures of them with their kids which is so lovely.

 

Healthy Kids Happy Moms

 

I loved this book as it gave a lot of insights into how we can change one's condition or improve from illness by having nutritional food that is right for the person. I learned more about dairy and food that cause inflammation and allergic foods that affect the gut. We can improve our health and our kids by looking at what we eat in a day and how it affects us or causes any health issue like indigestion, infection etc.,

We all know doctors give medicine for the symptoms and may forget to find the leading underlying cause behind it, the nutrition requirement, environment, and stress which are causing inflammation. Making small healthy changes one by one can be more effective in that we can lessen the visits to our doctor.

Kudos to author Sheila for bringing out her experience as a paediatrician and naturopathic doctor. The way she observed each of her patients and her thought process to bring some changes into their lives and enlighten the mothers with her knowledge is great and thanks for the insights.

The book is the right for moms and moms to be to understand how they should hear their gut feeling when it comes to their children. The diet mentioned in the plan and the recipes are very helpful.

Scarred Roses, RakShak Series Book I

Some place leave their mark on people.

Some people leave their mark on places.

Bring them together and they become stories.

Stories that define everyone and everything in their path.

The Scarred Roses is a mystery thriller and the first book of the RakShak series and I loved the story of Paswan Gulab Rai. Raksha and Shakti are two sisters on an adventurous journey after reading their mother's journal after her death, which she left in a bank locker in Jodhpur. There are a lot of characters in the story Raimas, Suma, Meera, Vani, Ajay, GK, Kabir and a lot more. 

The character's characterization and background were perfectly built and the narrative was so good. You love the way each mystery is revealed and the way they find out. There are a lot of twists and turns in the story till the end and after reading the epilogue am waiting for part 2.

The way the author wrote a story connecting with history and some fiction was so good I loved Paswanji from the beginning of the story really felt bad how the haters can ruin one's name after they left the world since the one has done a lot of schemes to improve the living of the normal people. Overall you will love the story. The way they remember the treasure hunt played as a family and how a knot describes the meaning and how to find the clues from the cryptic poems and content from their mother's journal.
