Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 3)

'Youth and Truth : Unplug with Sadhguru'

This book has the questions which were asked to Sadhguru while he visited educational institutions across India. This book also has the answers to those questions as were answered by Sadhguru. The book has around 200 something pages. And I am done with about 100 something pages. So I have completed half of the book. Thus far, I have found it interesting and enlightening. Sadhguru seems to be a man full of wisdom and his words are so helpful and illuminating. The questions asked are from a variety of topics ranging from education, career, self development, integrity, spirituality, yoga, religion etc. I hope to complete the book soon.

'Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us' by Daniel H Pink

I am reading this book through Kindle and I have completed about 7% of it as of now. I have just started reading it and yet I feel like this book has a very important message and I feel like I could learn and implement a lot of things from it. The book discusses about research which has been conducted in the field of motivation. In the initial chapter, it tries to explain to us that the way we think motivation works is wrong. We think rewards, money, etc. motivate us. While these things might motivate us in the short term, what motivates us in the long term is the sheer joy of solving a problem. There seem to be other chapters in the book which are centered around motivation at work, motivation for an individual, motivation for a company, etc. Can't wait to complete this book and probably write a full review or summary of it!

'Model Home' by J Courtney Sullivan

I am reading this book also through Kindle and I have complete around 16% of it. It is a short story centered around Katie and Damian - the co-hosts of a reality TV show about showing houses to buyers. Katie enjoys working for the show but Damian hates it and wants to not renew their contract. Katie feels like her marriage is rotting and she even thinks that her daughters hate her. Until now, I think the book has been quite entertaining. Can't wait to finish it!

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...

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...

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 ...
