    Reading this book feels like binge watching a Netflix series, you need to know what happens next! Though it had me running for dictionary breaks😅. And how I loved how quirky he the titles of each chapter were, I was fascinated by the wittiness of author to assign these titles to the chapters. I would strongly recommend readers to go back and read the title after finishing each chapter, I also liked the metaphor used by the author to describe few setting especially the beauty of Harwan Garden. The story is face paced and the narration is to the point with no wasting of time on unnecessary information. Author has also provided maps for better understanding of the movement of  protagonists and antagonist wherever necessary.  I found explanation of the concept; linking experiment on mice with human behavior and also the concept of the socio-economic structure and its balance given by the professor quite fascinating. The plot of story is gripping form start till the end with satisfying climax.

    I feel the author could have better divide the initial chapters, the story seems to be taking leap from one setting to another. 

Conclusion: Psychological thriller lovers should pick this up hands down. Its your go to book for the weekend.
         
Rating: Its 4.5/5 for me.

Head that wears the crown

  It’s funny how, over the years, I’ve moved through a handful of bosses probably five or six by now and, if I’m being honest, I never really liked any of them. I mean, who does, right? But recently, the disdain I’ve held for them has slowly shifted to something more like pity. Maybe it’s just a natural shift that happens as you gain experience, or maybe it’s the result of certain events. Either way, it’s been on my mind lately. For as long as I can remember, the go-to office pastime has always been “bashing the boss.” You know, that whole ritual of gossiping about their quirks, criticizing their decisions, or poking fun at their management style. And in a way, it’s a bonding activity for colleagues a way to release stress and feel like we’re all in the same boat. But recently, an old Gujarati saying has been sticking with me: “ પીપળ પાન ખરતાં હસતી કુંપળીયાં , મુજ વીતી તુ જ વીતશે , ધીરી બાપુડીયાં …” (Translation: As the old leaves of the peepal tree fall, the younger ...

  Indra stretched lazily on his bed, watching “Tarak Mehta ka Oolta Chasma” on his phone; he had been doing that for a whole day now. His daughter had promised him a set of his favourite books; they should have reached him by now, but the hospital staff had become very strict with the rapid rise in the number of cases. He had been reading stories of how rapidly the virus spread through one’s body; however, he felt just fine except for slight breathing difficulties. He wondered what all the fuss was about. With that thought, the oxygen monitor started to beep; his O2 monitor showed 94. He remembered nurses talking to each other about how O2 should be maintained above 95. He thought to himself, “ I should relax a bit. Good thoughts, Indra. Think good thoughts!” And with that, his mind wandered to the construction of his new farmhouse, a project he'd been planning for years. With his retirement just around the corner, he had envisioned spending his golden years there with his w...
