Healing with Homeopathy Book Review written By Dr Mukesh Batra

Healing with Homeopathy Book

Healing with Homeopathy by Dr. Mukesh Batra is a must for every household. The book is an eye opener, particularly in recent times as Homeopathy is better accepted, both socially and medically. What I liked most in this book is that it deals with over 100 illnesses, arranged in the alphabetic order. Hence it is easy to comprehend. Besides, the writing is simple and lucid.

Homeopathy is known for its holistic approach. Dr. Batra, India`s famous homeopath with the largest chain of Homeopathy clinics spread across India, shares his professional expertise. I will vouch for it as the perfect family guide, to understand common and uncommon ailments and the best ways to treat them.

I also like the way Dr. Batra explains each condition with its symptoms and the variations along with remedies that work best for the ailment. The book also includes useful dos and don`ts along with insightful case studies. I highly recommend this book.

In to the AIr Book Review written by John Krakauer

In to the Air book

I am totally mesmerized by this bestselling non-fiction book by Jon Krakauer. This book is especially endearing, as one of my closets friends has scaled the Mt. Everest and I could relate to mishaps occurring during such an adventure. It is a detailed account of the Mount Everest disaster of 1996 wherein a storm killed 8 climbers and disturbed several others.

Although the author had given up mountain climbing years ago, he eventually decides to participate in the climb with a purely professional intention. The book takes you through the events that unfold during the climb, including the great mishap. The author narrates how the much experienced and highly qualified climber and guide Boukreev rescued many lives.

I highly recommend this book as it is a real life story of a real life hero. His heroism was no fluke and this insightful and lucidly written book will leave you with no doubt in that regard.

Unusual People Do Things Differently Book Review Written By TGC Prasad

Unsual People Do Things Differently

This book by T.G.C. Prasad outlines that one important factor that alienates winners from the mediocre. Mediocrity is not always acceptable and what makes winners achieve extra ordinary feats is something very well explored in this book. This is not only an insightful read but it also makes you think what is it that these unusual people do?

Are winners more prone to accepting challenges or rectifying their mistakes, or are they more sensitive to nuances and are on the look out for lateral solutions? The book delves into these details in the most lucid way. Yes, so if you are someone who has, time and again, dared to think out of the box and are in pursuit of excellence this book will appeal to you.

The Truth About Celia Frost Book Review Written By Paula Rawsthorne

The Truth About Celia Frost

I read this book in a little over a day, at a normal reading pace. Yes, the book is definitely a great read and I need to make a special mention of the writing style. If you are a budding writer or wish to be one someday, the Truth About Celia Frost may give insights into writing something that ignites curiosity and has a mysterious streak to it.

Celia Frost is a freak. At least that's what everyone thinks. Non coagulation is only a misnomer as Celia has one of the rarest disorders, which means she can bleed to death from a tiny cut. She has no friends and there is no room for fun. A sudden turn of events results in a knife attack which totally frightens her mother.

Consequently, her behavior becomes irrational and is something that is least expected. She takes the easiest route out and plans a quick escape. But why is she so frightened and of what? Read this book to know what happens. I highly recommend this book as it has the essence of suspense, thrill and great storyline- the ingredients for a fun read.

My Bollywood Wedding + Saris And The City By Rekha Waheed

My Bollywood Wedding

I bought the book, fully expecting that it would be a typical masala novel with wedding and colors and a traditional touch. The book was much more than I expected. It has a bit of everything. It strikes a fine balance between a typical marriage drama and the manner in which NRIs strike a balance.

Maya Malik who lives in London wants a glamorous wedding, but organizing one, is a bit complicated as her fiance lives in New York. Her would be sister-in-law pitches in and decides to take over the arrangement. Maya is not convinced as she had made her dislike for Maya very obvious. Besides, Maya is also attracted to her Fiancé’s cousin who is apparently a George-Clooney lookalike.

Jhanghir, her man, is not very good at communicating. Like all girls that are on the verge of getting married, Maya too has mixed emotions. She begins doubting her decisions. The reader in you will not be surprised that she is having second thoughts about her decision. I like the simplistic approach, the way familial influence is brought about and the very natural way in which the characters think and react.

My Bollywood Wedding is an interesting read, hilarious at times, with the integral aspect of Indian weddings and the hullabaloo that surrounds it. There is a certain Indianess that will appeal to you. Go read the book and enjoy this desi wedding trip. There are mysteries to unravel too. I highly recommend this one.

Let's Get Committed Review Book Written By Smita Kaushik & Utkarsh Roy

This stage relates to the fact that even after liking each other, they just experiment with the concept of being together and not because of love...just in hope that they might (if it's written) fall in it.

Being a hottie, Radhika initially misses the single tag and the direct and indirect benefits associated with it. Apurv tries to reinstate the feeling of love in her but fails...though partially...

Life goes on as time tests their compatibility and then suddenly destiny shows its darker side...

Radhika is gone...
What happens next...
It it's love, will it cease to exist if they are apart?
Does Apurv find a new love?

Ruchita Misras The Ineligible Bachelors Must Read

The Ineligible Bachelors Must Read

The book is written as diary entry of Kasturi Shukla....fresh out of one of India's top b school who finds herself at the centre of her mother's attraction soon after graduation. The mother wants to get the girl married to the first decent guy she comes across as she is saddened by the fact that her daughter hasnt found anyone herself yet...The girl, like all of our age, is horrified at the thought and tries all to get out of it but to no avail and eventually gives to the societal pressures.

The book clearly captures the story that is so common with so many guys/girls my age these days. Parents having only marriage on their mind,unrelenting children who tither under emotional blackmail from the parents. The story captures the nice details about the things my generation hates about the concept of arranged marriage and why parents need to take a second look at the process.

The book is clearly written from a girl's point of view and serves as a good lesson for guys into what-not-to-do when meeting a girl for the first time and also a little bit on what-girls-expect-from-their-guys!!

The arranged marriage part takes up only 20-25% of the book's time, rest of the time is how things change in the life of the young Kasturi with her new job, her first Boss - Rajeev Mehrotra and her new best friends at work - Varun and Ananya.

While reading the book, you dont feel like you are reading a book. Its more like someone's telling you a story and makes the book unputdownable. The laughs you get are genuine, the situations real(apart from the mafia involvement - mafia in a book on marriages!!! Read book for more details ;)) and the characters immensely likeable esp the calm and silent Dr.Purva.

The book showcases the power of friendship. how people change when in love, how people overlook the obvious when in love and how things they think they know are not there anymore.

Read the book if you have a special friend, one who would do anything for you, one who wouldnt hesitate to tell you anything, even if meant hurting you for your own good and if you want to relive the moments with those friends.

The ending, even though expected halfway through the book, was the best part. The emotional depth and maturity in the end made it like a sweet dessert at the end of a sumptuous meal.There was a apricot in the dessert which I dont think quite fitted with the dessert but I think I can let that pass.(For those who dont know me : I dont like the taste of apricot in my food)

Final Verdict : Definitely a must read, not too much about arranged marriages but definitely a lot about friendship, love and how life must move on!!!
