Books I Have Been Reading Recently

"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

I am almost halfway through this book and I think it is quite philosophical in a way. The book is about a shepherd boy who chose his career path based on the advice given by his father after he told his father that he wanted to travel the world. The boy learns about a treasure that he is to discover in Egypt. He meets a king who advises him about many things including following one's personal legend. The king also gives him some precious stones and tells him to pay heed to the omens. The king urges him to go find the treasure. So the boy sells his sheep and goes to find the treasure but he is robbed in a foreign land and so he works for eleven months in a crystal shop and when he saves enough he decides to buy sheep again and start his work again but he has second thoughts. He thinks that he can become a shepherd anytime he wants but he can only go for the treasure now. This is what I have read until now and I am intrigued.

"The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy

I have just read around 20% of this book but I have found it thus far to be very enlightening and informative. The book talks about how we can accomplish anything if we just believe in it. The book says that if the conscious mind believes something strongly, then the subconscious mind makes it happen. The subconscious mind cannot differentiate between right and wrong, logical and illogical, truth and false, it just takes whatever you give it and makes it come true. The book suggests that our subconscious is most active when we are in a state of physical inertia. The book gave many examples of people who were healed from blindness, cancer, skin disease, paralysis, etcetera with the help of their subconscious mind. I am loving the book so far and can't wait to try out some of the suggestions. 

"Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki

I have read only a few chapters of this book so far but I plan on finishing it soon. The book starts off with the author telling us about how in his childhood he started taking mentorship from his friend's dad along with his friend himself. How his friend's dad is the rich dad and how his own dad is the poor dad. The author tells us that his own dad was very educated and yet was poor whereas his friend's dad was not educated yet he employed people and ran his own business. The book talks about how most people buy liabilities thinking that they are assets and that to be rich, you need to buy assets and not liabilities. The book is very interesting and educational.

Restaurants That I Ate At Recently (Part 5)

That Waffle Place I have ordered from here before through online delivery platforms but recently I went and ate at their shop for the first time. They have quite a few branches I think. We went to the one in Alwarpet. We ordered their Frozen Hot Chocolate and Belgian Biscoff Waffle. I did not taste the frozen hot chocolate but the biscoff waffle was good although it would have been better if they added biscoff biscuit crumbles along with the biscoff spread. The place also had some games like jenga which kept us entertained. Overall, I would rate the place a 4/5 stars. Maison Indulgence We went to this place recently due to the Instagram hype that it has. But unfortunately, for us, it did not live up to the hype. We felt that all the items were overpriced. We ordered the Basque cheesecake and did not like it all. Ambience was okay-ish, too noisy. I would rate this place 1/5 stars. This place is also situated in Alwarpet. Mexe Another place which is in Alwarpet - Mexe. We ordered their c

Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 10)

That Night by Nidhi Upadhyay I'm reading this book in a paperback format and have completed around 50 pages. The book is about four friends who played a game of Ouija while at college and a girl of their hostel died. Twenty years later someone is trying to mess with them even though they live in different parts of the world. Intriguing premise. And interesting writing style so far. I think I might like this book, let's see. The book is around 300 pages long. The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas This book is about Lina and Aaron Blackford - two colleagues who initially seemingly hate each other but somehow end up becoming each other's fake dates to some major events. I've read like 150 pages of this book so far and am finding it repetitive and boring as of now. Let's see how it goes. I might rate the book a 2/5 stars if the writing does not improve as the book progresses. Or if it improves, I might rate it 3/5 stars or 4/5 stars, let's see. Until now, the pa

Five Most Patriotic Movies on Amazon Prime Video India Right Now

Raazi This movie was a solid 4.5/5 stars in my opinion. What I liked the most about this movie is that it portrays a young girl who spies for her country against all odds. The movie is based on a true story and it shed light on the unsung heroes of Indian history. The main character Sehmat left college, married and lived in Pakistan, so that she could gain intel about the upcoming war. The intel gathered by her and other spies helped India to get prepared for the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971 and the Ghazi attack. The movie is based on a book called "Calling Sehmat." Alia Bhatt plays the role of the lead actress and she was able to represent what the real Sehmat would have felt like - scared, brave, patriotic, loving, dangerous, caring, human, selfless and a thousand more indescribable emotions. Other important characters in the movie were Sehmat's husband, her parents, her father-in-law. her brother-in-law, her brother-in-law's wife, a servant who worked in Sehmat's
