-
Life is tricky in some sense. We always feel the other person is blessed and better-off. It’s only when you go through the cycle that you realize that you are good in your own habitat.

Author: Ajay Gupte     

Publisher: Notion Press  

Format: Kindle Edition/Paperback

Buy from Here: The peerless.

        The peerless- uncommon stories of a common man is a collection of nine different stories of vivid common people mostly based around Maharashtra and Gujarat. The stories revolve around very common men, they could easily be categorized as the guy next door however are quite strong headed regarding the virtues in life and their contribution towards the society. It's a short read with less than 100 pages.
     
            All the nine stories differ from each other in matter of settings, plot and character development.  Author have very well put forward few minute day to day issue which create greater impact on an individual's life.readers are introduced to wide range of characters as protagonists like postman, landlord, School teacher, Judge, farmer etc.The stories are short and fast paced. Language of the book is easy.
   Few parts of the books were confusing in matter of story line and actions of the characters. The protagonist of some stories were not well defined. I feel editing part of the story requires bit more effort.

   Conclusion: recommend to people are looking for a quick read over evening tea or breakfast. Or perhaps for someone searching for a good bedtimes story for children.
         
Rating: Its 3/5 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.

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...
