Book Review - No Shortcuts

Title - No Shortcuts Author - Nistha Tripathi Genre - Self Help / Motivational Publisher - Sage Publishing ISBN - 978-93-328-0826-7 One of the favorites quotes from an author I have read till date is Shiv Khera's "Winners don't do different things. They do things differently". This quote is very much apt for almost all the successful businessmen or leaders or those who are successful in their life. When I read "No Shortcuts", the above said quotes reaffirmed it because those who went ahead to set up a successful venture on their own, saw the potential lying in front of them and utilized it to their best.  What did I like the most about the book? There are various things which made me get a real good impression about this book which includes: 1. Professional write-up 2. Coverage of success stories of 15 successful start-ups which weren't covered in a single book, earlier. 3. The book was written in such a way that you ...

Book Review - Of Aakash and Aarti

Title - Of Aakash and Aarti Author - Dr Govind Sharma Genre - Fiction Publisher - NotionPress ISBN - 978-1644297841 A compelling novel which would leave you in tears. The story captures the essence of how the life would turn when you become addicted to drugs. Hats off to the author who has captured this and explained it with intricate details that it would bring forth the real danger and effect that one would surely has to face when become addicted. Though we get to see the statutory warning flashing across the movie screens and on the packs of these items, we tend to give a damn about the warning. The end result would mostly be devastating unless you are blessed with a miracle. The protagonist - Aakash who lost his parents in his childhood had to go against his own will and wishes in order to fulfill the dreams of his grandfather. He falls in love with Aarti but never revealed it to her. Aarti who hailed from a poor background also had a miserable childhood. Aakash ente...

Insure yourself for a BIG amount with ICICI PruLife Term Insurance

Insurance is useful when it comes to covering the risk associated with the happening of an unforeseen event. It is a matter of solicitation. However, it would help the family of the insured to help them maintain the same lifestyle if there is a loss of life where the unsuspecting family loses the breadwinner. The concept has proved to be effective across the globe where insurance is all about covering the risk which usually occurs to a fraction but the risk is covered by many. Hence, the premium which forms the basic foundation of this contract, between the insurer and the insured, is mostly on the lower side. There is a basic difference between the two major classifications of Insurance namely Life Insurance and Term Insurance. For life insurance, the premium is much higher since you would either receive the insured sum along with an accrued bonus, either at the time of maturity or when the insured is deceased, whichever is earlier. On the other hand, for a term insurance, ...
