Rohan is fond of books since childhood. During school days when all others would be spending most of their time in playing and gossiping, he would be busy reading books. In fact, he was always beyond his age. Even at that age of early teens, he had a collection of all kind of serious philosophical books. During college, he was one of the most brilliant students in studies. After getting a lucrative job in a software company, he was posted in their London office. Away from home while living alone, Rohan started missing his country and friends badly. Especially, when he proposed to his childhood girlfriend Ria to marry and settle with him in London, he received a very cold response from her. That was quite shocking for him and was bad enough to get him into drugs and drinking.</div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
This started impacting his well-settled job and performance at the workplace. All his good work done at the workplace started getting replaced with criticism from his colleagues and superiors. Sharon, who was heading the quality control function in the same organization had enough chances to observe minutely this drastic change in Rohan’s behavior. As a software development and testing go hand in hand, Sharon and Rohan used to have a good amount of interactions on a regular basis and thus had become close friends. Sharon could sense that there was something wrong with Rohan that is drifting him away from his good career and taking him into darker zones of life. Sharon knew well that Rohan doesn’t hail from such an advanced country like her but still, she wanted to bring Rohan back on track before he gets broken completely.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
That is why Sharon planned to discuss something serious with Rohan. In fact, she was quite conversant with a well known<span style="color: maroon;"> </span><a href="http://www.welovedates.com/"><b><span style="color: maroon;">online dating site</span></b><span style="color: maroon;"> </span></a>of repute. She discussed with Rohan during the lunch on this site and advised him to become a member. Rohan, knowing that such a concept of joining a <b><a href="http://www.welovedates.com/uk/"><span style="color: maroon;">dating site</span></a></b> is not that popular in his country, there is no harm in trying it. To join that online site was quite simple. Rohan was not very hopeful though that this action would help in getting out of the muddy waters he has delved into. Probably, this was because he had no idea about it and no prior exposure to such sites taking their members quite seriously and helping them find the right match or life partner. It didn’t take much time for Rohan to get an idea of how this site works.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
After carefully entering his details and hobbies, the site was quick enough to propose right matches for him matching his likings. The site also helped him in suggesting how to take the matter further with the proposed candidates. That, in fact, was quite an intelligent and proactive manner the online dating app was behaving. With the help of this wonderful experience, it took Rohan hardly 2 months to find a suitable match. In their first meeting itself, both Rohan and Rachael fell in love with each other. It didn’t take much time for Rachael to get Rohan on right track. Within the next 6 months, Rohan got a good raise in his salary for his outstanding performance along with a promotion. Soon after that Rohan and Rachael got married and lived happily thereafter.</div>

In fact, it has to be a calm and familiar environment that matters most in these cases. Because that is the only thing that can make its members more confident and true to themselves. There comes a need for a dating site that makes its members feel that mature dating is far more than a chore. A site with a high level of assistance that helps you faster and doesn't let you alone. It has to be an experience that makes you wish you joined earlier. Generally, what you need is to select a profile photo and create a short bio about yourself. In addition, you need to make it understand what you are looking for. So once you answer questions about your requirements, interests, beliefs, hobbies, etc., the dating site can quickly match you with like-minded members.<br />
<br />
If the matching process is faster through the proper scrutiny and matching process of the site, it gives its members more time to chat and get conversant with people rather than wasting time scrolling through unlikely matches. That automatically leads to a better experience thus creating a higher level of reliability among its members. The ultimate goal of a senior dating site should be to make its member's experience safe and reliable. It has to provide an ease and comfort to its members.</div>

From Paris To Tehran – The Forgotten King: The Fascinating History of Iran, From the Persian Shah to Ayatollah Khomeini’s Revolution (Middle Eastern Politics & Biographies) by <span class="a-size-medium">Ozias Marcovici is basically the story of Iran. If you have any interest in history, power, politics, turbulence, or Iran, then this book is for you. In fact, in that case, it becomes an important read for you. The farthest era this book touches is 559-529 BC when Iran was under the emperorship of Cyrus II. The title of the book relates to one of the most unliked yet powerful dictators of that country. It is none other than Ayatollah Khomeini. This shrewd dictator came to power in 1980. In fact, he is one of the rare entities who were criminal and religious at the same time. As a matter of fact, he was a hard-core dictator, shrewd, criminal, hypocrite, liar, manipulator.</span><br />

<strong>Leave Me Alone: A Glance into Obesity, Physical Overweight, and the Endless Struggle to lose weight</strong> by <strong>Orit Yogev</strong> is about eating disorders and beyond. If you go to contents after acquiring this book and read titles of the chapters, you will find them quite interesting and innovative. It becomes quite serious when you are obese and then too uncaring about your health. That can be a very scary situation. What if you had a long journey with doctors, nutritionists, psychologists, and consultants; and everything has been ineffective. Whom to blame for this situation of yours? Who is responsible for bringing you to this juncture of failures? Life is not about acting on other’s plans. It is your life, so you need to prepare your own plans. Especially when it comes to health. Coming to a situation of being so helpless and feeling sorry for yourself is worse.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Imagine where can you find complete information of IIT Kharagpur regarding the courses it offers, fee, admission dates, entrance exam dates etc. Obviously, the best place would be College's <a href="http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/">official website</a>. Now for all IIT colleges you will have to go to all the relevant websites one by one. Now imagine a single online location where you can find detail of all engineering colleges, with complete course details each one of them offers, fee details, admission criteria, admission dates, entrance examination details in terms of form submission, exam dates etc. That single place is <a href="http://collegedunia.com/">CollegeDunia</a>, a well organized, easy to navigate and quite fast portal. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When you visit a particular college's page, say <a href="http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/">IIT Kharagpur</a> page on CollegeDunia, there is nothing left that you would have liked to know about and you don't find it there. The same is applicable for all colleges of India. So you can easily click on each college one by one to have a detailed view (microscopic view) still being in focus to move anywhere as and when required. <a href="http://collegedunia.com/university/26007-indian-institute-of-technology-iit-kharagpur">IIT Kharagpur page</a> contains its establishment year, departments, history, Institute centers, Institute Schools, Short term programs it offers, Extra curricular activities that happen here, Facilities, Rankings on various global parameters, and scholarships it offers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The same is available for all engineering colleges; and for that sake; for other streams too.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Sinful Folk written by Ned Hayes is a full of adventure story that will force you to think and introspect along with its main character Mear, who is a nun, and passes through a deep transition phase of her life. Story goes like this - fire breaks into a house in which accidentally in a tragic manner four childer get churned to death. Villagers decide to travel to England in demand of justice. Mear is part of this group of villagers and on her way to England she passes through a self discovery process and reaches to a high level of victory. </span><br />

Gallagher and Demaree Inglese during mid 2008. It is a kindle book with 337 pages but each page is a heartthrob. The story is based on a real life incident that happened in 2005, August. Demaree Inglese, who was medical head of the jail in New Orleans, was one of the residents of New Orleans and was about to face about to come Hurricane Katrina.</span><br />

It was a privilege to attend an event with Amitabh Bachchan as a part of the event. Amazing were the moments when I got an invite from Penguin group to attend Annual Lecture event for which the lecture was to be delivered by none other than the great Amitabh Bachchan. It was organized at Thyagraj Stadium. The event had to start at 8 pm, and was scheduled finish was 9.30 pm.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Entries were to be closed at 7.30 pm and it was a fight to reach at the venue, driving there for the first time and not knowing the exact location. As usual, few guys responded by giving wrong direction when asked them for it, probably they felt proud in telling any direction even if they didn't know the exact location. Anyhow reached at the location in time after facing all kind of wrong direction, heavy traffic and parking issues. Finally was inside to witness a great personality and to drink his words in real, for the first time, and that too, along with my family.</div>

His words are magical. He himself is a calm ocean with huge amount of intellectual gems in himself. I am sure when he started speaking, each of his word was absorbed by each of the audience in the hall. His flawless, clear and weighty lecture was about himself, his films, his father, his father's work, his family, his father's work and his social goals. He emphasized on girl child education and freedom towards choosing her career/ future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was amazing to witness Amitabh Bachchan, his lecture, and his discussion hosted by another great journalist Rajdeep Sardesai - Editor-in-chief of IBN18 Network.</div>

<br />
Chained Can You Escape Fate? is a composite of two extremities of human - life and death - life comes in the form of love, where we find 3 love stories in this debut entry by Mehek Bassi. Death comes in the form of 4 murders. The story is about Shiya and Arjun, and Shiya's family members. Shiya belongs to a rich family with her father being a successful and always busy businessman. Her mother is equally busy in her parties and social meetings.<br />
<br />
Shiya desires to become an establishes singer when she begins her college life but finds herself very lonely in her family. She gets attracted to Arjun and starts loving him. The book has a lot of questions arising from time to time as you go through it and gradually there would be astonishing answers to those questions.<br />
<br />
Overall an interesting read.<br />

<i><i><a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.blogspot.in/2013/11/prelude-ajaya-by-anand-neelakantan.html" style="color: #4f81d8; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Ajaya: Epic of Kaurava Clan – Book 1 – Roll of Dice</a></i> is the recent completed fiction by Anand Neelakantan. It is based on the most popular Indian Mythological Epic Mahabharata. It is scheduled to be released on December 1, 2013. A year before Anand had come out with his debut magical fiction based on another most popular Indian mythological epic Ramayana. The basic factor that differentiates both these books from a lot of other work already published on both these Indian Mythological epics – Mahabharata and Ramayana is that Anand has done a lot of reaserch on both the subjects before writing his work.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another big differerence that both these books carry from other work done on Ramayana and Mahabharata is that Anand (probably it is happenign for the first time) has dared to take the main villain or anti-hero who got defeated from the two respective heroes. Ravana in Ramanyana was killed by Rama at the end of 10 days war between the armies of the two – the king of Lanka and the king of Ayodhaya. So in his first book titled as <i><a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.blogspot.in/2013/10/book-review-asura-tale-of-vanquished.html" style="color: #4f81d8; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Asura – Tale of theVanquished – the Story of Ravana and his People</a> </i>by Anand Neelakantan has taken Ravana as a lead and for the first time, Ramayana, has been retold in context of Ravana, as per Ravana’s perspective.</div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">
The same has happened in the second book <i><a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.blogspot.in/2013/11/prelude-ajaya-by-anand-neelakantan.html" style="color: #4f81d8; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Ajaya: Epic of Kaurava Clan – Book 1 – Roll of Dice</a> </i>by Anand. Duryodhana, the most cruel, wicked and eldest of Kauravas has been taken in the lead and the retelleing of Mahabharata has happened in this book as per his perspective. It is going to be as engrossing and interesting read as Anand’s first book.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.com/tall-man-small-shadow/" target="_blank">Tall Man Small Shadow</a></i> written by Vipin Behari Goyal is a debut novel from the writer but not his first published work. Prior to this he has two good books to his credit. He has written a useful travel handbook on "TirthRaj Pushkar" which is about a holy place in Ajmer district in Rajasthan, India. After that Vipin wrote a poetry book in Hindi <i>Tej Dhoop Ka Safar</i>. And now his third work is a love story woven in a very different style in fiction genre. Vipin has also an award winning short film <i>Mines are Mine</i>to his credits.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cover of <i>Tall Man Small Shadow</i> is quite neat and matches well with the theme of story. A tall male straight standing shadow in black with a small shadow of a female standing with a style. Best part of this book is multi-narrative style. Each character narrates his/ her own experience as the story goes along. The main characters of this story are Aalya and Salil who are young living in neighborhood. Aalya is the only daughter of Anupam and Sulekha. Aalya is doing her research under her guide Seema. Salil lives alone in the same vicinity where Aalya lives with her parents. Characterization is quite strongly done by Vipin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Salil in his college days fell in love with Nasrin who was the most beautiful girl in the college. Salil is quite serious, introvert and studious kind of guy. This love, being inter caste is not well taken by Nasrin's parents and she is forced to marry with her cousin by her parents. This gives a jolt of his life to Salil who goes into deep depression and tries to attempt suicide by taking overdose of sleeping pills. But he survives due to timely medical attention. Though he could not comes back to normal even after his survival, but his life goes on as he joins a job after that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aalya's mother Sulekha is quite active on social networks and uses internet to connect to people of her choice to drive the story of <i>Tall Man Small Shadow</i>. Sulekha's husband Anupam is having a good hold in society, bearing a good amount of influence of top brass of the city. Seema's husband Paul is a well known figure in the world of Arts being a Drama writer and director. Paul and Seema, though are married for long, are childless and have some differences between them, and appear a good couple to external world around them. Aalya gets attracted to Salil and they get married with the blessings of both their parent's consent and blessings.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1371315192p5/6761385.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #9a9a9a; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" src="http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1371315192p5/6761385.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story has a number of twists that keep interest alive throughout. Eventually story has two strong factors that keep it alive right since beginning till end. First is the narrative style of writing by Vipin where each character has his own chance to narrate story in its own voice. Second is the number of twists woven in the story that keeps it alive and interesting throughout.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regarding 'characterization' of the characters of this story, there was no need to show some characters, and that too the main ones, as shabby by highlighting their dark side. 'Character' of a character of a story or a novel totally depends on the writer of that story as he is the sole creator of them. In my opinion there was no need to show Seema and Aalya as lesbians and even at some moment of time in the story, Aalya's mother, Sulekha, vetting for it. The story would have gone well in the same manner, even without this part. At some moment of time reader might get hurt by the 'looseness' of Salil (when he has sex with Nasreen after she getting married to someone else), Aalya falling pray to Seema's pull due to being lesbian, Seema herself being so successful in her carrier and being lesbian etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overall Tall Man Small Shadow is an interesting read. The last twist in the story is a Pandora box for the readers of this book. </div>

<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4741225.Rohit_Gore" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Rohit Gore</a> is a brilliant writer with lots of clarity in his mind the way he takes care of all aspects of writing - story, conceptualization, characterization, streaming, and so on. <a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.com/the-guardian-angels/" target="_blank"><i>The Guardian Angel</i>s</a> is the fourth book written by Rohit Gore. His earlier books have been well acclaimed with each book adding more fanfare and readers to the extent of the manifold. His third book <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15990555-circle-of-three" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Circle of Three</a></i> was a kind of blockbuster. All his books have been well acclaimed by critics and reviewers. Rohit seems to be an intense thinker and quick conceptualization capabilities but when he pens down his thoughts, it flows flawlessly. His writing style is seductive that engrosses reader to its core and keeps carrying along with the story by holding his hand and gripping his mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will not be possible to translate the satisfaction and good feelings that you get while and after reading this book, but if you like philosophical, fiction and love story books, this is for you. You get a calm and soothing touch while reading <i>The Guardian Angels</i>. The story starts in July 1993 when Adi, the lead male character </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
was just 12 and was being beaten to the extent of worse by a gang of three buffoons of his school with no crime from his side. The first encounter of Adi and the lead female character Radha, who is also 12 and has joined Adi's school recently, happens during this encounter when Adi is being thrashed up badly and Radha saves her from those buffoons. And there starts a deep, angelic relationship between Adi and Radha. The story of The Guardian Angels, that starts when Adi and Radha are 12, goes till when they reach their early thirties (July 1993 - July 2012).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1360314501p5/4741225.jpg" style="clear: left; color: #9a9a9a; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" src="http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1360314501p5/4741225.jpg" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are so many ups and downs in the story of The Guardian Angels in the life of Adi and Radha. But every time when either of them gets into trouble, another one comes as a savior. There is a deep, never dying bonding that occurs between Adi and Radha though both of them belonged to two different planets in all aspects except one - their faith, trust, love, and care for each other. In this intense story, you get so engrossed that while reading, you feel the pain behind the smile of Adi, you get hurt when Radha gets hurt, you laugh when they both laugh, you become tense when either of them becomes tense, you will hit by severe circumstances when it happens to either of them. So don't bother if you find yourself smiling at times, or get the corners of your eyes wet; while reading this book.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <i>Guardian Angels</i> by Rohit Gore carries a touch of the writing style of Maxim Gorky and philosophical writing style of Ayn Rand.</div>

<i>Shades of Shadow</i> by <a href="http://pushpamsingh.com/about.html" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Pushpam Singh</a> is a uniquely different concept of <a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.com/shades-of-shadows/" target="_blank">presenting romance</a>. This is a fiction/ romance genre book written in a philosophical manner. As per author there is a shadow embodied to each soul, and in turn, each of this shadow connected to an individual soul has a shade of its own. Every shade, in turn, is having its own unique spirit. Focus in this book is on individual entity, uniqueness accompanying an individual and thus growing into a unique spirit in turn.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kausar is the place where life began on earth where nature is playing in different forms in full blow. With changing colors of nature and it's becoming more lively, a sweet encounter happens between Kavi and Kavya, uncovering the seed of love between the two. <i><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16134784-shades-of-shadows" style="color: #9a9a9a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Shades of Shadow</a></i> by Pushpam Singh is a story of love, hope, and passion arising out of dull and sad moments of life thereby giving it a new transformed shape. The story takes you on a poetic journey of love between Kavi and Kavya.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cover is simple but symbolic and significantly thematic matching with the description of Kausar, a place where love inculcates between Kavi and Kavya when nature is at its bloom. There have been different colors presented related to life in this book. Credit goes to Pushpam Singh for using both prose and poetry and thus making this love story presented in a unique manner. White, Red, and Grey colors are used as different parts of this book, presenting the beginning of love, peak of love and separation respectively. And finally, you will find the color of red back after many twists and turns in the story of Kavi and Kavya.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pushpam Singh is an engineer by profession but is 100% poet by heart. You can read different moods of poems in <i>Shades of Shadow</i> when you walk through different streams of life. Overall it might not be everyone's cup of tea due to some very basic factors. First, the writing style though is quite unique but is not very appealing to the heart of the reader. It appears more like a sophisticated, beautiful showpiece. Second, it is a love story, that too a mild kind, in a very hypothetical and imaginary scenario. Overall I would give it 3 out of 5.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Years back we had management training with a theme – how does it matter. <a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.com/never-mind-yaar/" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: #9a9a9a;">Never Mind Yaar</span></i> by K.Mathur</a> is almost on the same lines in this debut attempt in fiction genre. Mathur has taken four youth in a college environment to project her plot. Lead characters in <i>Never Mind Yaar</i> are Binaifer Desai, Louella D’Costa, and Shalini Dayal. All are the new entrants to first year in Mumbai’s prestigious and one of the oldest college - Gyan Shakti College. Binnaifer and Louella get surprised and happy to see each other in the college on its opening day, as both had done their studies in the same school. Both of them had a small interaction with one of the most beautiful entrant in the same class – Shalini. The fourth main character in <i>Never Mind Yaar</i> is Bhagu – a student activist who falls in for Shalini having love at first sight.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The story of <i>Never Mind Yaar</i> is about Mumbai having a big heart to absorb different cultures within its heart with same love and warmth. Shalini belongs to a Hindu family, Louella is from a Christian family and Binnaifer belongs to a Parsi family. Having so many cultures in Mumbai is a drawback too, as it becomes culture and religion sensitive thereby giving space to conservatives and modern both together. As far as good part is concerned, reader gets an insight of various cultures (Hindu, Parsis and Christians in this case). This 214 pages novel is about the friendship of three girls and love in between Shalini and Bhagu. Bhagu is a student activist who is very clear in his mind about the current situation of the country and how youth can play a positive role in handling this situation and holding them becoming worse.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://nevermindyaar.com/wp-content/themes/MyProduct/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/characters.jpg&h=140&w=200&zc=1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; color: #9a9a9a; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" src="http://nevermindyaar.com/wp-content/themes/MyProduct/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/characters.jpg&h=140&w=200&zc=1" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; border: 1px solid rgb(244, 244, 244); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0980392) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you are able to cross the initial hurdle of 40-50 pages which are very slow and less constructive, you will start liking the story as it gradually moves on further. Bhagu falling in love with Shalini who belongs to an economically high stature family, faces a real life hurdle with a constraint of Shalini’s family not accepting this relationship. Shalini’s grandmother Mem is a good entry in the story. The later part of <i>Never Mind Yaar </i>becomes more interesting and you would like to check the end of this story. Author has tried to touch economical differences and political & communal scenario that has large impact on personal life of each individual of out country.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are many shortfalls in this book. As far as cover of<i>Never Mind Yaar</i> is concerned, it is very basic, simple and comical – overall not too impressive and eye catching. Another drawback of this book is the too small font size that is painful to eyes and becomes a major factor to mar interest of the reader. Third drawback is the style of writing of K. Mathur. It is not at all connecting to its readers and gives an impression that it is a text book. The content looks to elaborative and extrapolated that it clearly seems the constraint writer had in mind to overcome the minimum words limit to complete a novel. That makes it a very slow read and probably becomes a burden for reader to carry on with boring parts of the story. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "verdana" , sans-serif; line-height: 16.796875px;">As per Michael it is nobody else that stops us to set higher standards and achieve higher in life, but ourselves. Challenges are there in everybody’s life. Some build courage to cross all hurdles and achieve success whereas others get discouraged by the obstacles in their life and get drifted away from success even if both start with same resources and get same opportunities. There are total 6 keys to success described in this book by Michael by setting higher expectations from yourself to get all round success. You need to set your vision and purpose with a commitment to yourself to move to your goals with passion.</span></div>

Next key is – you can control your own destiny and achieve success in life but with some gem like mantras – having focused and disciplined approach towards your goals, hard rock determination, and you will have to sacrifice something in your life to achieve something much bigger; with an ability to adopt change with the changing environment.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>Author</b>: Dr. <a href="http://pebbleinthestillwaters.com/the-book-of-ram/" target="_blank">Devdutt Pattanai</a>k<b><br />

<br />
</b>Author, his passions, his career and his versatility: Dr Devdutt Pattanaik (b.1970) is a multi-faceted personality mastering different streams of life. After passing out his MBBS from Grant Medical College, Mumbai, he spent 14 years working in the Pharma and Healthcare companies such as SIRO and Apollo. After that he started afresh as a marketing consultant and got associated with prestigious organizations like Sanofi Aventis and Ernst & Young. He is also a mythologist by passion. He topped the Mumbai University course in Comparative Mythology and lectures extensively on the relevance of sacred symbols, rituals and stories and their significance in modern times. His articles appear regularly in First City magazine (Delhi) and Times of India (Mumbai). He lives in Mumbai. His passion always being mythology drove him to writing and lecturing extensively on relevance of sacred stories, symbols and rituals in modern times. And it is in this capacity that he has joined Future Group as Chief Belief Officer where his role is to help construct the culture of the entire organization. He regularly writes in Economic Times (Corporate Dossier), Times of India (Mumbai), Hindustan Times, First City Magazine and Sunday Midday. His books have been published by VFS, Haworth, Inner Traditions, Indus Source, Penguin India and EastWest Publications displaying his command over writing superbly. Few of his books include: Shiva – an introduction (VFS, India), Vishnu – an introduction (VFS, India), Devi – an introduction (VFS, India), Hanuman – an introduction (VFS, India), Lakshmi – an introduction (VFS, India), Goddesses in India – five faces of the eternal feminine (Inner Traditions, USA), Indian Mythology – Stories, symbols and rituals from the heart of the subcontinent (Inner Traditions, USA), Man who was a woman and other queer tales from Hindu lore (Haworth Publications, USA), Shiva to Shankara – decoding the phallic symbol (Indus Source, India), Myth=Mithya: A Handbook of Hindu Mythology (Penguin, India), The Pregnant King (Penguin, India – this was his first work of fiction), and The Book of Kali (Penguin, India - based on his talks).<br />
<br />
The Book: In this book, Dr Devdutt explores the eleven different iconic symbols of Lord Ram presenting relevance of Ram in modern times by examining him in his various roles: as Dashrath’s son, Lakshman’s brother, Vishwamitra’s student, Sita’s husband, Ravan’s enemy, Hanuman’s master, Ayodhya’s king, Vishnu’s incarnation, Valmiki’s inspiration, the Ramayan’s protagonist and Hindutva’s icon. The book tells about various perspectives of Lord Rama as Eka-vachani – the king who keeps his words – always, Eka-bani – an archer who strikes his target perfectly with the first arrow, Eka-patni – a husband who is eternally devoted to his single wife. All his aspects show him as ‘maryada purushottam’ who is perfectly able to balance his life with social values, his Raghu vansh, and the solar dynasty. He is known to be the 7th avatar of Vishnu. Ram word brings peace and harmony in life.<br />
<br />
My views: The author doesn’t want to preach via this book. This is a well researched book, which can be kept in one’s personal library, and can be read time and again, whenever a person wants some peace or solacement. This is a though provoking book, with each angle of Ram being reflected clearly that can be carved upon in one’s life. This book answers to many whys and hows, those were unanswered till now. In each man on this earth, there is a part of Ram and Ravan each with varying percentage. Similarly in each woman there is Sita, Ahilya, Surupnakha and Mandodri. A man’s personality has been reflected by many icons – Ram, Lakshman, Hanuman, Angad, Bali, Sugriv, Jatayu, Dashrath, Bharat, Shatrughan, Ravan, Vibhishan etc. similarly woman’s face has been reflected in many icons – Sita, Mandodri, Ahilya, Surupnakha, Mandodri etc. Logically, in today’s world, it is your karmas, or what you do in your actual life, that defines what icon a woman is, and what icon a man is.<br />
<br />
The book is a must read, for all ages, all genders. <i>It is short, crisp and with a precision.</i></span></div>

Written and illustrated by – ANDREW MATTHEWS (author of the international bestseller ‘Being Happy!’</i> <b><br />
My Views:</b> <i>It is a perfect teacher provided you are a dull student.</i><b>T</b>his is book is about getting well along with people, that is how you can improve your relationship with them, how you can understand their attitude, how you can understand their personality, and how to overcome the problem they face and need someone to help them. If somebody has an attitude for seeking tension or problem, and he feels that everyone ignores him, he will try to attract everyone’s attention. People keep highlighting your weaknesses or problems but don’t get bogged down by this, ignore it, swallow it, digest it and silently improve upon it. Don’t let yourself go into a shell because of this, overcome this weakness or problem. If people are not happy with you, or ignore you, seek answers from them why they do it, what is the reason, what do I do that I don’t get ignored. People have a tendency to react sharply if your weakness is highlighted, like if somebody says your body has a bad odor, people, friends around you will start ignoring you, even if they are not getting bad smell at all. <i>More happens on preception and listening than actual experience.</i><b><br />
L</b>ike yourself, love yourself, but don’t ignore others, like others too, don’t be too proud of yourself.<b><br />
S</b>top comparing and stop getting depressed if you are compared. Emphasize that you are you and not that person with whom you are being compared.<b><br />
A</b>void boasters who praise themselves and always let others down<b><br />
B</b>efore changing others, change yourself, adjust, compromise and your life will be happy.<b><br />
D</b>on’t wait for others to come to you and invite to join a party, throw a party and invite people. That will start a cycle.<b><br />
G</b>et out of corner, stop hiding yourself.<b><br />
D</b>on’t wait for other to come and highlight your weaknesses, or improve you, change yourself, who knows you better than YOU.<b><br />
D</b>on’t fear of a CHANGE.<br />
<b>D</b>on’t let your low esteem work in reverse.<b><br />
W</b>ho is bothered about the pimples on your face, go out of your room instead of waiting in your room for pimples to leave your face (and you stop all your outdoor activities)<b><br />
Q</b>uit playing games, don’t pretend, and pour your heart out. You want to go out for a dinner, but you want your wife/husband to say this. How does she/he know what you have in your mind right now? And how you are so sure that she/he will refuse? But be sure that it is NO if you don’t talk about it.<b><br />
Sometimes L</b> ive your life to fit your belief system. Mary doesn’t feel good about her. And due to this perception about her, she is usually ignored by most of her friends. Fred likes her, behaves well with her but Mary starts wondering why Fred likes her when she is not likable, and starts ignoring him, responding him. Fred feels ignored and gets a reverse message that Mary doesn’t like him. So he silently moves away from her life. Now a stage comes in Mary’s life when nobody likes her and she starts scolding herself that why nobody is there to like her. Why there are no good persons in my life. Why everyone ignores me? Lucy has a belief system that there are good people around in the world and she can always find the caring and loving people to be with. She decides not to spend any time with the people who don’t like her, or who are rude and aggressive. With this attitude she is able to find good and caring people and leave lousy people for Mary. <i><b>Decide what you want to be – Mary or Lucy?</b></i><b><br />
M</b>artin has a habit of taking everybody’s work besides his own work in the office. He found a friend, who wanted to help him, but this looked abnormal to Martin and he pushed this friend away from his life. Martin thinks that all the people who don’t help him in his work and who don’t do their own work are normal.<b><br />
About Book: </b><b>T</b>his book is about enjoying people, dealing with prophets of doom, how to say NO sometimes, prevailing over gossip, pettiness and anger. It is about understanding that IF YOU WANT FRIENDSHIP, YOU MUST BE A FRIEND FIRST. The book is funny reading too with a lot of serious learning. It has lot of comical strips which are perfectly able to convey the message. Like one says – “There are 70% people having problem with their partners. Ok, what about the rest of 30%. Oh, they are singles.” Another one says – “But I don’t want to concentrate on my business, yours is more interesting than mine.” There are lot many more, all interesting, funny but meaningful. Author says “Being Happy” was about yourself, this book is about people around you, people who depend on you, those you want to see, and those you avoid.<b><br />
