  Title - The Doer Author - Rekha Nair Genre - Spirituality Publisher - Olympia Publishers ISBN -  978-1804394953 The book begins with a powerful note - " Everything we do is Spiritual ". I couldn't agree more since most of us believe in GOD who is called by different names under different religions. We also believe that there is " Unseen Power " above us which decides our fate and Karma. The book is divided into 12 chapters namely: 1. Have we forgotten?   2. What have we forgotten?   3. What is Love?   4. What is the nature of the soul?   5. God is?   6. Why is freedom important?   7. What is the relevance of cyclic events and things that exist in pairs?   8. What is the toughest thing to overcome? 9. What is a choice, and does it exist?   10. What does connecting mean?   11. What do you value the most?   12. You rather experience and know or do you want to know and then experience. Also, why? Each of these has a powerful mess...

  Title - Juuhhhuuuu Author -Manoj Kumar Sharma Genre - Fiction Publisher - Notion Press ISBN -  979-8888156131 This is a collection of 3 short stories. I loved the creativity and the approach of the author. If you have read his previous book MIRRRO, you would have realized that his writing is unique and captivating. The same has happened here. The previous book was a novel but this one isn't. Each of the three stories was intriguing. The first story is all about an accident and how it connects all the characters in the story, the second one is tenser as it involves characters from Myanmar, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan but happening in India. The third one was a unique love story that is not only terrifying but had a pleasant ending. I do not recommend books usually but this one certainly needs to find its place in your shelves, if you love reading stories and stories with a difference. This book is available on Amazon

Thick alpine forests are blanketed, with fresh powdered snow, the high-altitude lakes and waterfalls freeze down, the lush green landscapes turn white, and the surroundings feel like a wonderland. Himachal Pradesh is undoubtedly one of the top snow destinations for a splendid winter vacation. Explore the outdoorsy Rohtang Pass with the  Himachal Tour Packages  as its favourite among those who want to marvel at its magnificent natural splendour. Rohtang Pass is only accessible by vehicle and is nearly 51 km from Manali. Mountain riding is an exhilarating sport that one can indulge in here. Ride your mountain bikes off the beaten path onto the less travelled trails. The picturesque Sangla, also known as the Baspa Valley, is situated in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Lush forests of pine trees encircle it, majestic Himalayan mountains, vibrant orchards of apples and apricots, and exquisitely constructed low-lying houses are its prime attractions. Kufri is a hill town w...

Title - Leadership Chronicles: My Experiments With Globalizing Indian Thought Author - Debashis Chatterjee Genre - Education, Analysis & Strategy Publisher - Penguin Books ISBN -  978-0670098651 This is certainly a book that anyone who wishes to make a difference in any sector, especially in education should read. More than anything else, the book has captured in great detail how IIM-Kozhikode has been steered to the path of prosperity and growth by Prof Debashis Chatterjee. The author describes how he got admitted to St.Xaviers and how the spelling of CIRCUS played a vital role in one of the institutions. His meeting with Tenzing and getting an autograph is another memorable one. Though one may not use the Indian Rupee Note for any purpose other than tender, I too had the same thought when I was a kid, considered taking the autograph from a celebrity but then remembered and decided otherwise. Prof clearly gives a description of what a Leader should be - to be both aspirin...
