Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is such a powerful read which says the problem in this patriarchal society she has faced as a child and in different stages of her life because of the stereotypes.

Her father and grandma wished to have a son for him. Kim has an elder sister and younger brother. The male in the home are treated in a different way. The special care and the treatment. 

I like Kim’s mom where it portrayed what she dreamed and what was reality and how she made up her mind to teach her kids well and how she placed a world map in their room.

The trekking club where she was had no women as head till the time she was in it and they were treated well but said they are soft, gentle people so they are caring more.

There are a lot of restrictions in their school and the question asked in the interview literally made me angry. Getting a job in those periods was so tough that women may not stay long in a firm as they will marry and move or their other personal responsibilities may make them quit.

The promotion was given to the man in her firm who also joined in the same period when she was more eligible for the promotion and client meeting where she was not treated well.

Her marriage life where she can’t make a decision when to have a kid and her decision to quit job to take care of the kid and some men’s comments when she was drinking same coffee as them all this made me angry and feel pity for the event in her life which made her seek medical help and treat herself.

I think everyone should read this book. I believe we are in a far better place where we can live the way we want and decide and the organizations that look at talent than gender.

The Ramgarh Literary Festival

The Ramgarh Literary festival is a perfect satire on the bookish industry. 

This was the book selected as February read by my book Club members. It had humor and some parts which make you think - do these things really happen?

During the beginning few chapters I was awestruck by the events and the way things were going. Literally I was thinking what’s going on. The cycle of authors referring books to write on the same topic again and how poets were narrated in the story made me laugh. There are a lot of things that make you laugh and make you think.

I got to have discussions with the author and came to know about the real life events that happened and made him write this book.

Reading the blurb alone will make you read till the end to know what happens. The ending chapter made me think a lot.

Young Investor's Guide

The book has all the basic concepts to improve your personal finance. First, we should save, and then we should invest. Before investing we should know the basic terms used and how to calculate the risk and save based on the goals. Plan each and every goal whether short-term or long-term. 

The book was like revisiting the concepts I have learned. The new thing I have learned was more information about different types of insurance and loans. Whether we earn 5k or 50k we all need to take care of our personal finance so that we can plan for future needs. 

The author has explained each and every concept so well from the emergency fund, taking insurance, investing in mutual funds, types of mutual funds, good loans, bad loans, real estate, will, investing in stocks, how to evaluate and select investments. 

Start saving for retirement when your start earning, don't delay as there are a lot of responsibilities coming like saving for marriage, children's education, and a lot more. Try to make money work for you when you sleep. 

Don't forget to take care of your health so that you won't spend all you saved on health later...

The Client Stampede

 

The book was really a client Stampede. It was so interesting. Actually when I read books for self-improvement and business kinds of stuff it has taken more time to complete as the pace will be slow but this was totally a different one with the personal stories and their client stories and how to build your business and earn profits whether the economy is good or bad. I loved the way the author sold her house during the 2008 crisis. The ideas and each thing mentioned was valuable and true. I literally felt awestruck because the reality is some people say what is needed in a straightforward manner. I loved the way each chapter was explained and the way it was narrated, so simple but powerful.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

The Rise of the Seven

 

The book is about finding people of different virtues to be part of his league and how he meets different people and how we convince the people to be part of "The Monopolists". I wish to read the known Unknown and upcoming series of the book to know what happened in the life of Stalker and how he became a sinner, his motive, and his backstory.

The book is short and the narration was so good and simple. What are the Seven deadly sins how he gonna use the people with the virtues is making me excited for the next read. The book is quite different and intriguing.

You & Me are Imperfectly Perfect

The story is really so super and I loved it and completed a 300+ pages book in 2 days. The story went well with explaining from the side of Itisha and Abhimanyu. The flashback was also so good and I love the way the story was narrated and the way it moved. The author has mentioned the book series is based on some true events.

There are a lot of People like Abhi who cannot express their feelings in words but make them understand through actions. Amisha and Avynash were so good friends. I loved their total friend's gang. Abhi's childhood was not good because his mother left his family he hated her as well as yearned for love. Without knowing the other side of the story he made his life so restricted without any feelings for anyone because of that event. You can misunderstand people without knowing two sides of the story, so try to hear the both sides.

The story was overall good and I wish to read other books in the series.
