Pride and Prejudice adapted by Gemma Barder

    Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen which is adapted by Gemma Barder was really a nice read with a lot of illustrations. I loved reading it. This is absolutely a part of Jane Austen Children's stories which is with very simple writing and in a readable format for children and beginners.

I have not read the original version of the Pride and Prejudice and wish to read it soon as it is in my kindle and will soon give a review on it too. This version made me to think of reading the original version too. 

This is too well written and I loved it. The story of Mrs. Bennet her 5 daughters. I really loved Lizzy(Elizabeth) who is the main character and second daughter of Mrs.Bennet. I feel everyone should have a friend like Mr. Darcy and a sister like Miss. Elizabeth Bennet.

I enjoyed the illustrations in this book and when I started reading I can't stop and completed in an hour or less.

Absolute Read for Beginners

    I am a stock market retail investor for more than a year. I learned everything through many courses and videos available on the internet and some through my personal experience. I really want to know what is explained in this book so I started reading. The writing was simple and the author has described what are the necessary terms and concepts to be known before investing in a stock market. He not only spoke about the stock market, but he also said about mutual funds, bonds that were really good. There are different ways to diversify the saving, the stock market is not the only way. I too started knowing about bonds and other forms of investment after entering the stock market. The risk is based on the type of investment and amount of knowledge you have on it.

This is a 1-hour read and all necessary concepts for starting the investments are mentioned. It is difficult to earn and easy to spend so we should use what we get wisely. Saving first and keeping aside some amount for emergency and investing in different assets is a good idea. 

No one cares your money as much as you do !!!

The Beginning of Mahabharata

     The Fisher Queen's Dynasty by Kavita Kane is really a good read for mythology lovers. I loved the portrayal of Satyavati. A girl who was born as a princess and brought up as a fisher girl who became a queen of a large kingdom. Satyavati was also known as Kali and Matsyagandha and later Yojanagandha and also after becoming a queen for a few years she was known as Queen Daseyi and later Queen Satyavati.

She was the daughter of the king of Chedi Uparichar Vasu. She had a twin brother who was taken to the kingdom. The king abandoned her and she was brought by a man called Dasharaj who was the Chieftain of the fishermen's. 

Satyavati was so ambitious and different than others and had a hatred for her father who abandoned her. She became Yojanagandha after getting boon from Parahsar and was an immortal beauty and youthfulness. She gave birth to Veda Vyasa and gave him back to Parashar. She used her beauty and youth to get what she wants but she was not the one who made Devavrat take a terrible oath it was her father Dasharaj and this brought a pang of guilt which she had throughout her life.

I loved the friendship between Bhishm and Satyavati. This book is called Fisher Queen dynasty because the kuru dynasty ended with celibate Bhishm and his stepbrothers Chitragand and Virya. The niyog to Ambika and Ambalika was done by Vyasa who was her son who created a new lineage.

Satyavati had only aim of having heirs to safeguard the kingdom of Hastinapur which ended in the war between their own family.

The book is not a complete Mahabharata till Kurukshetra war. It ends with new lineage born - Dhritharashra, Pandu and Vidura. I loved reading the book. The above summary has described very few things there are a lot more!!
