Book Review - Anuj Tikku Launches his third book Travelthon Tales

After a successful launch of first 2 books, famous Bollywood actor Anuj Tikku has announced the launch of his third book – Travelthon Tales.  Travelling is the best way to learn and grow in life but it is also important to be observant as well as aware of your surroundings. Watch the view as your journey unfolds along the vast roads, mountains and peaks. Under the sea, a world unexplored opens up – all blue and colorful, neon and bright, the world beneath the sea is a true delight. I enjoy this rush of the unknown and the unconquered. This is what it is. A perilous plane – a journey almost to the divine. The temples and the faith, the jungles and the savannahs, the mountains and the vast terrains with canyons – it is all one when you see life through the eyes of a traveller. Travelthon Tales are my personal travel tales as I move along this life of freedom, wisdom, adventure and mayhem. The tales will be enlightening with morals, values, wisdom and teachings as I...

Book Review - Natural Solutions For Cancer

Title - Natural Solutions For Cancer Author - Sudhir Ahluwalia Genre - Healthy Living & Wellness Publisher - Self Published ISBN - 978-9388712439 Health is Wealth, they say. This book talks about the most important factor in a human's life in a very precise manner. I have not read science after completing my 10th standard. However, this book has rekindled my interest on Botany(Plants and Herbs) as it has captured the essence of our day to day in a crispy way. What makes this book interesting? This book talks about various herbs and its medicinal use in a detailed way. This is supported by appropriate pictures. Author has taken great pain in collating all the details in one place by way of a book. I would rather call this an "Encyclopedia" since it very much deserves the title and I even thought "Why not this book be adapted as one of the syllabus in the studies of Alternate Medicine?" The book is divided into two parts namely ...

Title - Surviving Stress Author - Dr Vidhu Bhatnagar Genre - Self Help/Personality Development Publisher - Educreation Publishing ISBN - 978-1-5457-0820-0 Stress is a common factor and the other day, I was surprised to see this word being used by a 10 year old kid. Though the technology has developed to a greater extent, this has not showed any significant improvement in bringing down the stress but infact has fueled it to grow further. Why? We have been engrossed in our gadgets these days. Human touch is lost. We hardly get time to mingle with fellow human beings. When there is no human interaction, we may end up building more stress than ever. This factor has been effectively captured in this book. The book is divided into two parts namely: 1. Surviving Stress 2. Rediscover the awesome you While part 1 has 43 chapters, Part 2 has 25 chapters. It is worth to be noted here that the author, who is a physician, had also undergone stress during t...
