Books Vs E-books

 Books Vs E-Books While browsing the bookstore to buy a gift for that special someone (or yourself), you may be faced with a tough decision: e-books or the old-fashioned kind? Each one has its pros and cons, and choosing the best option depends on a number of factors. Even while growing up I bought books but since these ebooks were introduced I was in a dilemma about whether to buy a Kindle or to buy novels? So, here are some pros and cons.  Some of the practical advantages of going digital are obvious: A portable little e-reader can carry an entire library wherever you go, which is great for travelers or those who always want a choice of reading material. "First and foremost, consider the person and their lifelong preferences," Dr. Matthew H. Schneps, director of the Laboratory for Visual Learning, a collaboration between the University of Massachusetts Boston and MIT, told CBS News in an email. "Some people absolutely love the look, smell, and feel of the classical boo...

The Wizard Of Oz - By L.Fraunk Baum

The Wizard Of Oz - By L.Fraunk Baum Genre - Classics, Fantasy, Children, Fiction Rating - 4.5/5 Pages - 154 Kindness. Wisdom. Courage. Those are the three things that L. Frank Baum’s most famous children’s book, The Wizard of Oz, is about. Those three things and, of course, the ever-important lesson that home really is where the heart is. I eventually dug into Baum's children's classics at the age of 18 and was mesmerized by the teachings and the values that he inculcate in his books. And those values are reaching the children in the best possible way. I grew up adoring the Hollywood film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz starring the ethereal Judy Garland and have been dying for the moment I’d open America’s first fairytale ever since my mom bought it for me when I urged her at the PTM. PTM was the only time and the place where I explore the books at the book fair. Many Indians can relate to me right now.  It is a lovely tale to tell you the truth, and it’s because (perhaps as an...

Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

 Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life  - By Hector Garcia and Francesc Miralles Genre - Self-Help, Non-Fiction, Philosophy Rating - 5/5 Pages - 208 The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai – a reason to jump out of bed each morning. And according to the residents of the Japanese island of Okinawa – the world’s longest-living people – finding it is the key to a longer and more fulfilled life. Inspiring and comforting, this book will give you the life-changing tools to uncover your personal ikigai. It will show you how to leave urgency behind, find your purpose, nurture friendships, and throw yourself into your passions. This book means so much to me.

Half Girlfriend - By Chetan Bhagat

 Half Girlfriend  - By Chetan Bhagat Genre - Fiction, Romance, Indian Literature Rating - 3/5 Pages - 260 Chetan Bhagat is a popular youth icon and author of India. He is the author of bestsellers like One Night at the call center, Five Point Someone, 2 States, etc. There are some books that are called leisure fiction. These are the books that we can read in our spare time but, mostly, can’t find any ideas other than pure entertainment or maybe hollow entertainment as well. However, there are certain novels which can provide multiple ideas despite being a leisure fiction. I am talking about ‘Half Girlfriend’ by Chetan Bhagat. There is a Bollywood movie adaptation also in this novel. In the movie shraddha kapoor and arjun kapoor was the main lead.  The story is pretty simple and the language used is pretty simple hence making it a very beginner-friendly book. So budding readers who want to read a pretty simple novel and also want to know Chetan Bhagat's writing style shoul...

The Girl In Room 105 - By Chetan Bhagat

 - The Girl In Room 105 - By Chetan Bhagat Genre - Fiction, Mystery, Thriller, Crime Rating - 3/5 Pages - 534 Indian readers enjoy a love-hate relationship with Chetan Bhagat . We love him & we hate him. He is probably India’s most trolled writer and yet his books have also managed to become the highest grosser every time.  The book boasts of a fresh storyline and a decent effort in terms of plot and plot twists. Mystery and entertainment also don’t come far behind. As is quite obvious from the blurb,  The Girl in Room 105  is a story of a love gone wrong but not in a cliche way.  The book is basically a crime mystery  in the garb of a romantic drama. Surely, there is a bit of both (romance and drama) but the suspense overpowers them in a big way. Keshav Rajpurohit  is an IIT pass-out who, much to the chagrin of his proud family members, is teaching in a JEE coaching center in Delhi. He is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, the beautiful K...
