The 48 laws of power (By Robert Greene) - Book Review

REVIEW
Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good ,and use that knowledge or refrain from using it , as necessity requires. - THE PRINCE, Niccolo Machiavelli, 1496- 1527.

I don't know about anything else, but one thing I do know is that,The 48 laws of power  is a seductively deceptive book, a special elixir for the power-hungry heads, the pathetic rock bottom cruisers (Who are tired of cruising, of course),the Mediocres, and for the society in general.

Catch them young

Naturally, I'm a person with much affection and respect for little children. But then, I still hate it when I see them misbehaving. Yes, it's actually true that they're young - with little or no common sense, but that's where their beauty lies. It's so unfortunate that most parents overlook this stage in their wards' lives. They find it difficult to correct or discipline them when they do something wrong.

All The Light We Cannot See [By Anthony Doerr] - Book Review

Review:

Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.

This is not the type of book everyone will find interesting. It'll take a deep reader to go through everything. Shallow readers will probably dump it after the first five chapters. Doerr didn't make this easy by his complicated form of narration that only ended up making the book unnecessarily long and a bit uncanny , although it didn't terribly detract from the story. I found the mystery gem part rather baseless and confusing.

Top 10 Erin Hansen Poems

I like poetry. I have for  long time now. It's beautiful how words come together to weave a story that comes alive in your mind, and awaken emotions that you may have never known you had - or even ones you believed that you had long since forgotten.

Today, I'd like to celebrate one of our contemporary poets who has been amazing me, from the very first day I read one of her works. Sing with me like it's the Sound of Music. These are a few of my favourite things... ♫



1. This poem that reminds us, we are all that we choose to be

"Not"

2. This poems that tells us about the raging waves in many hearts...

"The Flood"

YOU'RE FIRED!

The American Presidency for the most part is a performance for the optics. As much as it is a herculean task and powerful position, it is also an image, one which must be projected right.

Everything the one trusted with the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue does, is more often than not, textbook stuff. From speeches and Interviews to body language, handshakes and smiles, down to necktie and jacket colors (I kid you not), it’s all textbook. Meticulously planned events and leaving nothing to chance. It’s all hands on deck to ensure the founding fathers are not rolling in their graves with their hands covering their faces in shame.

However once in every Northern Hairy-nosed wombat, there’s a little twist in tradition’s plot. There’s that “riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside of an enigma” character who holds office.

Quiet [By Susan Cain] - Book Review

About the Author:

Susan Horowitz Cain (born in 1968), was a former lawyer, an American writer and lecturer. She's the author of the 2012 non-fiction book; Quiet; The power of introverts in a world that cannot stop talking. The book Quiet, has been on the New York times bestseller list for over 3 years, and has been translated into 360 languages.

Review:

Today, introversion and extroversion are two of the most exhaustively researched subjects in psychology - arousing the curiosity of hundreds of scientists. In Quiet, Cain carefully analyzes the two types of personalities. She defines introverts as 'People that are drawn to the inner world of thoughts and feelings' and extroverts as 'People that are drawn to the external world of people and activities'. It is passionately argued, impressively researched and filled with indelible stories of real introverted people who ended up being extremely successful innovators of our time.

Primer (2004) - Movie Review

REVIEW:

Before you read further, you should know that this movie will not appeal to a wide audience, it will be appreciated by very few people, and rightly so. The dialogue is spiced with technical lingo, the narrative is non-linear and the plot is complex, truly mind-bending (it consistently winds up on lists of 'The most complex Hollywood movies').

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) - Movie Review

SUMMARY:

“When’s our next mission?”

“We’ll call you.”

Finally, Marvel’s cinematic take on spider-man is here and it doesn’t disappoint! It’s equally fun and thrilling as its other franchises but is it the original movie we’ve all been waiting for? Mostly, yes!

RATING: 8.5/10
