The Psychology of Money was recommended by many people. It’s not a book that tells you which stocks to invest in; it tells you that you should invest and the earlier you start investing the better with a long term view in mind. Morgan emphasises the power of compounding and also to save even if... Continue Reading →
RICH DAD POOR DAD – Robert Kiyosaki

BURNT SUGAR – Avni Doshi
In my opinion, the author did an excellent work exploring the love/hate relationship between a mother and daughter. Not only that, there’s elements of betrayal, revenge and forgiveness that takes you on a whirl wind of emotions as you read on. Tara, the mother, was the one living with dementia but we got to understand... Continue Reading →
THREE WOMEN – Lisa Taddeo
This book had so much hype but I really couldn't understand why people were raving about this book. I don't think it's a bad book but I do think that it was marketed in a misleading way. I was expecting to read a book about women's sexual desires and being empowered by it all. Instead,... Continue Reading →

THE LAST MRS. PARRISH – Liv Constantine
It's been a while since I've read a psychological thriller and this book just killed it in the best possible way. It will definitely keep you entertained for a good few days. I went for the audiobook option this time because it was easily accessible and I guess I'm saving the planet this way. Less... Continue Reading →
THE GIVER OF STARS – Jojo Moyes
Jojo Moyes is one of my absolute favourite authors but I wasn't so sure of this book just because I didn't quite connect with the synopsis as much as I normally would with her other books probably because I've never given much attention historic fiction but I gave it a go and voila...another fantastic read....

THOUGHTS AND WORDS
"What you intend is always potent"Today was Day 2 of my 30 day yoga challenge and this session focused on intentions. It's true that our intention has the power to directly influence the connection to ourself, which in turn really affects the quality of our practice, whatever that may be. The best part of starting... Continue Reading →
