Book Review - Me No Pause, Me Play

  Title - Me No Pause, Me Play Author - Manoj Kumar Sharma Genre - Fiction Publisher - Notion Press ASIN -  B0BF4XYMV5 One of a kind story that talks in great detail about the difficulties faced by women during the menopause stage and the story revolving around it. Having read the author's first novel Mirrro, I could not wait and picked up the book as soon as I saw it listed. The story is a bit conventional and a bit unconventional. It talks about what kind of care and support a woman would require in the later stages of her life and what her spouse should do in order to lead a healthy life. This would be an eye-opener in the lives of many who take things for granted.

Learn while you play

Though I am a full-time employee, I could not stop myself from going back to my childhood which was evergreen. I had a lot of kids as my neighbors and hence there was no dearth in spending some quality time with them. I use to play a lot of outdoor games like cricket, football, badminton and also flying kites. But all these wouldn't be possible during the rainy season or when my friends are away during the holidays. It is very clearly etched in my mind that when I was appearing for my Grade X exams which was in fact a Government exam, fear and stakes were high. It is during this critical time, that my dad brought home a TV Video game. We never had hi-fi games like PS or Xbox those days. This will be like a deck and on top of it, you have to tether the cartridge which came with a certain number of games. Though there were numerous games, I liked the ones that challenged me. They were mostly related to calculation/mathematics.  I was fond of maths back then and could solve or finish ...
