          Chuckle Merry Spin (Us in the U.S.) is a hilarious travel vogue about the exciting adventures of a two senior citizen unknown to the world of technology in a tech savvy country.
    
    On their daughter in law's insistence Khyrunnisa and her husband V.K. who are very much comfortable in their home in thruvananthapuram, decide to travel to U.S. for her graduation ceremony. The enthusiastically start the preparations, and with everything packed and ready the embark on their journey filled with peculiar restaurant rules, tipping norms, confusing subway stations, interesting places and entertaining conversations.
       
The best part of the book, is how detailed it is, author has given every detail one needs to know about traveling to U.S. right from the process of acquiring passport and Visa to their colour filled good bye to the US.  I like how author found humor in hiccups of their journey like stomach ace, traffic jams, poor hotel, chatty drives etc. There are relatable travel things like wondering the ungodly hours of flights, awe, surprise and amazement for the things that widely differ from home country. Authors description of her family gave personal touch to the whole book. One can even plan their itinerary who are planning to travel,  and those not fortunate to travel, can explore the world of U..S. through the amazing descriptive power of author. I also love the cover of the book, catchy and apt to the story of the book.

Conclusion:  People who likes travel and explore should definitely read this book.
Rating: It's 3.75/5 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.

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...
