Me thinks

I love reading books written by my fellow bloggers and here we are talking about someone I have hugely admired for her travel diaries and book reviews both. Having interacted with her quite a few times this book came as a pleasant surprise when I saw her name as the author.

Mixed emotions – pride with excitement

I loved the basis of the book very much. These days our life has practically become a click of a button. Things change, shopping done, hospital found, schools located, taxi booked, movie show organized… the list is endless of things that can be done and are being done even as we speak at this moment.

The author has done an excellent homework behind each and every name mentioned by her in this book. Tracing their story since inception to till date is no mean feat especially when you are talking about stalwarts like Flipkart and Zomato. The detailing done speaks volumes about the India Shining story everyone seems to be talking about. Kudos to the author’s efforts behind this one!

A book to be treasured, read, re-read and shared too! I enjoyed reading the book for each and every story shared here is awe inspiring for sure. A must read for all budding entrepreneurs!

Book Review: Palestine Wail - Poems by Yahia Lababidi

In Palestine Wail: Poems , Yahia Lababidi creates a profound and unflinching exploration of the ongoing Palestinian crisis, drawing from his own heritage and heartbreak to reflect on a political and humanitarian catastrophe that has unfolded across decades. This collection, imbued with personal history, political outrage, and spiritual contemplation, serves as both a witness to injustice and a call to humanity. The work’s origins lie deeply in Lababidi’s own roots—his Palestinian grandmother, Rabiha Dajani, was forced to flee Jerusalem at gunpoint, a traumatic event that reverberates throughout Lababidi’s poetry.  As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering. Through his words, Lababidi eloquently counters the equation that Z...
