Name: My life Uncensored

Author: Cristina Caymers

Publisher: ‎ Covenant Books, Inc.

 

Available Here: My life Uncensored

My life uncensored is a Short collection of Childhood memoir of Cristina Caymers, is a short read, with only 18 pages. It mainly revolves around how author and her sister and their time spent on Maternal as well as paternal side of the family. Both the sisters spent their summer breaks in LA with their paternal side of the family.There are four chapters in the book; each chapter is dedicated to one family member of Cristina’s life, i.e. her Father, Mother, Grandfather and Grandmother.

The language and pace of the used in the book is quite placid.Also, the editing part was done quite well; I was not able to any grammatical errors in the book. I like the display for raw emotions and vulnerability of the author.I also like how the author has provided Spanish translations;

Even though the book seems to be professionally edited, the other aspects like the plot, characters, storyline, etc. needed major attention.I failed to understand the basic idea behind the whole story. There was no proper order in how the things were playing out.Author just jumped from one scenario to other without any closure to the previous scene.Major part of the story required reading it multiple times to properly grasp proper context behind the event. On Various occasions author failed to clarify which character she was writing about, which created lots of confusion and frustration. Seems to me; the author has published her very first draft, given the haphazardness of events.

In view of very little things likeable about the book and takes more time that it should; due to all the confusion, I rate My Life Uncensored the maximum rating of two out of Five stars.

I would recommend this book to people who are looking for quick reads or are just starting to develop a reading habit.

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 ...

THE FINAL PAYMENT

  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...
