  Title - Silver Lining - The Story of NephroPlus Author - Kamal Shah Genre - Non-Fiction Publisher - Penguin Books ISBN - 978-0670097968 This is a beautifully written book by Kamal Shah who despite being a non-medico had gone along with his couple of other non-medico friends to establish India's biggest dialysis service provider. Loved the way this book was written since it captured in detail the troubles faced by kidney patients since Kamal Shah himself was one. From being a healthy individual, life turns drastically after Kamal faces multiple complications because of which he has to forego his travel to the U.S. for higher studies. He also has to be on compulsory dialysis.  He gets treated in Hyderabad and Mumbai since in the late 90's and early 2000, these dialysis centres were not a improved lot.  There are a few aspects that the author highlights in this book. One of them is about the Ministry of AYUSH where the author ponders as to what they actually do and their f...

Author Iinterview - A Victor Adharsh of Mango Showers

  1.What motivates you to write? I am someone who firmly believes that fine expression and comprehension are some things that define being human. As I try to grasp the meaning of what it means to be human, I cannot help but give in to the urge to express. Ever since I was a child, I was brought up on stories. It was the primary mode of keeping me engaged. It taught me new concepts and strengthened my morale. As I grew older, the need to express grew stronger in me. The most natural means for me to express was through stories. This made me want to write. Through my stories, I express parts of me to the world. They include my thoughts, ideas, discoveries and experiences. Also, writing helps me discover newer parts of me that were hidden before. All this makes writing an inevitable part of my existence.   2. How did you feel after publishing your books? It is truly a liberating experience.

Finance at your fingertips with PLANET APP

  Managing your finances has always been a task. It is tedious even for a commerce graduate as it needs a lot of traits and nuances. While this is one aspect, when it comes to applying for a personal loan due to some emergency or various needs, it is even more cumbersome. This is mainly because of the presence of various companies/brands out there which try to lure you with various offers and schemes. What one may not realize is how these are misleading in some of the cases where some pointers are given in real small print in the offer document. There is no point in regretting after availing the loan since you may end up paying more than what you have actually budgeted to pay. This is when I stumbled upon PLANET APP .
