Books I Have Been Reading Recently (Part 4)

'How to Become a People Magnet: 62 Life-Changing Tips to Attract Everyone You Meet' by Marc Reklau

I am reading this book on Kindle and I have completed 50% of it. The chapters are short and digestible. The book has many useful tips and suggestions such as always keep the conversation about the person you are talking to, make them feel important, don't argue, don't talk behind people's backs, believe in people's potentials, talk about their interests, listen more than you talk, give genuine compliments, keep up your word, let your actions speak, etc. I think this is a must read book for anyone especially people in sales. I think this book can help anyone get friends, clients, partners, etc. The book claims that more than 85% of our success depends on how we deal with people and if there is any truth to it, this book is the manual to success!

'My Evil Mother: A Short Story' by Margaret Atwood

I am reading this book also on Kindle and I have completed around 60% of it. This book is about a daughter and her mother. The daughter grew up in town where everyone had a father and a mother but the daughter just had a mother and was made fun of because of it. Her mother was also considered to be crazy by the town people. Her mother somehow had money without having a job or a husband. Her mother did weird things like read tarot cards, make weird mixtures, tell her daughter that she had transformed her father into a garden gnome, etc. Then the daughter grows up, leaves home and is contacted by her father who has a whole other family. I have read only until here but the story seems to be interesting so far.

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
