Today(28th September 2013), I received the books i have ordered from Amazon.in
Love @ Facebook and I too had a love story 

I started reading the book by the afternoon and I almost was crying when the book came to an end

The book starts with a re-union of engineering friends who meet after 3 years after they go to their jobs after college become mature enough to discuss what their next chapter of life should be.-Marriage

They think that maybe a matrimonial site can help them. Without any idea of it, Ravindra Singh, the main lead fills his data and after a long search for a few weeks he gets an SMS from a girl named Khushi, saying that they met in the matrimonial site and she wants to talk.

Starting with that, he and she become the best of lovers and they meet one day.

Everything goes fine until the day before their engagement when Khushi meets with an accident coming home from work. She is in hospital for a few days and she leaves her last breath after a week or so.
This tragic event is so that, Ravin becomes so dull that he has no interest in any girl after that.

This story made me cry even more when I came to know that this was a real incident and the author was none other than a former student of my friend's teacher.

This book made me cry very much even i know the story from the reviews  

This is about the book Chanakya's Chant
I read this book for almost ten days.

There are two types of stories in this book
One is related to Chanakya who wants to take revenge on Dhananda, the then king of Magadha because he killed his beloved father. For that he trains Chandragupta in arts and politics to make him the king of Magadha. The other one is related to Gangasagar Mishra who is a Bramhin and wants to control India. He is a mentor for Chandini Gupta. The rest of the story is very interesting but do not think over about why the Gangasagar Charecter  was installed in this book.
At the end, everything explains itself.

Coming to the review of the book:
The book starts with Chanak being murdered who was the beloved father of Chanakya or originally named as Vishnu Gupta.
First chapter went well and then the second chapter it started to go to Gangasagar Mishra who has no relationship what-so-ever with chanakya.

Reading the entire book only makes you to understand why Gangasagar was added into the book.
I am adding the reason here, if you want  to read it's your wish. But if you want to enjoy the suspense, I strongly advice against it.
Spoiler Alert!!!!!!

After making Chandragupta as the king, Chanakya returns to Suvasini to have a talk. He doesn't free her, rather he keeps her prisoner for Rakshas to arrive. The she curses chanakya which he replies by saying that she also prays for that curse should not become true.

Then she tells a sloka
Aadi Shakti, Namo namah
Sarab Shakti, Namo namah
Prithum Bhagavti, namo namah
Kundalini Mata Shakti
Mata Shakti, namo namah.

If a person chants this mantra 400 times per day for 4000 days, then he gains the knowledge of chanakya, only if he uses it to advance a woman!

This is the main cause of the story.
The script is found by Ganagasagar, and he gains knowledge of Chanakya and uses it to make Chandini Gupta, daughter of a poor man in a slum in  Uttar pradesh.
He makes Ikrambhai, a don in that slum to become his disciple and enter into politics.
Gangasagar plays all types of dirty tricks, same like which chanakya has played when he wanted Dhananada to descend the throne of Magadha to make Chandragupta as a king for Magadha.

Atlast ican say that the book is nice and i liked it very much.
Just bear until the end and you will enjoy it very happily.

This book requires patience to understand completely.

My another book review!!
I read this book in January 2013.
It's name is "The Immortals of Meluha"
The author of it Amish.

Coming to the book, this book is about a man 4000 years ago. who because of his actions is being worshiped as god. This book starts with the feeling of Shiva, who has to wage war at that time. He is fed up of being waging wars for their survival. He want his tribe to be happy and safe.Then Nandi asks him to come with him to Srinagar,  where on the first night he would be observed having a blue throat.

Then he is taken to Meluha and he become a lord to all the people there.
How does he complete his journey?
Does he discover evil?
What are the incidents he had to encounter in order to complete the journey is very interesting.

Coming to my first book, I like to start with the book "The Leadership Pill" by Ken Blanchard and Marc Munchnick.

It took less than an hour to complete this book. This has a font size and a size that makes it very easy to complete. It comprises of a ten to twelve page article if put in a normal font.

So coming to the review of the book

The book name attracts a bit and then the statement "leadership qualities are increased using the Leadership pill". That gives some interest about what is in the pill. But after sometime, it is stated that the pill is defective. Here the story turns to a different set. The Effective leader turns to a pill free challenge and then he starts on that by his own way. 

Book is about how to maintain motivation by being a leader. As most of the reviews the book is about how a manager have to be with his team, but not how the manager should behave. As it is told in "One Minute Manager".

I would turn to that book if i were asked about which book to take about Managers or Leadership qualities.

The result of the pill-free challenge is predetermined, but even though as i told that it is likely the same which has been told in the book "One Minute Manager", it is a review of some of the concepts that have been told in that book. 

You may have a doubt. Whether to read this book or not?

Well it can be read but i didn't feel much to keep a copy of it in my shelf.

If you find it in a library then you may read it once.

It doesn't take much of the time to complete this book as the writing style and font size.

Coming to the positives of the book and author, His all the works are of the same type, they have a common thing. They are written in form of a story. That helps us to involve in the book so much, rather than something that is like, "you have to do this because of this reason".

Anyway it can be read once and the principles are worth following even though they are the same from one of the author's work

This is my first review!

Hoping many soon!!!

Happy reading
