Behind the Book
In the pell-mell of life, who has not sometimes felt overwhelmed? The mind seems to be in endless churn...leading us in circles of despair, anger and frustration... Where do we turn when we are floundering? The answer lies within. Windmills offers practical and sustainable ways forward through Effective Mind Control (EMC).

How to control your temper.

How to cultivate patience.

How to face grief.

How to deal with guilt.

How to escape from the well of sudden disappointment

How not to feel dissatisfied with life.

How to avoid despair over the lack of meaning in your life.

These pages abridge the behavioral aspects of the AI thesis about the mind on the Effective Mind Control website. EMC has drawn keen interest from around the world, logging over half a million page views from over 150 countries. EMC assumes that IA, an intuitive algorithm, enables the mind to apply inductive reasoning to manage attitudes and behaviours. Windmills suggests simple mental and physical exercises, followed by wise men across the centuries, to change our own views and actions...pointing the way towards a positive life experience.


There are some books that redefine life for you. This book was one such read for me. Have you ever been in a phase where nothing seems wrong and yet nothing seems right either. You cannot pinpoint at one reason to feel low about in life and you cannot help but keep wallowing in self doubt. This book is a like a guide for all those times.

Harnessing the windmills of the mind is actually a road map of how to control the incessant wavering of your thoughts, of how it threatens to keep walking down the memory lane and you struggle to keep in the present. I really loved the way the author has written the book. It has a strange sense of calm when you read those words. You are reassured that you are not alone in this maddening race towards sanity. Neither are you the only one who is suffering to pay the cost of your dreams.

The whole book can be described in one word that is "positivity". The language, the tone, the message and most importantly the solutions given in the book  are the ones that would motivate one to keep striving for positivity in every step of life. With simple exercises the author talks to us like a friend encouraging us to take that leap of faith which will help us reach our destination leaving behind everything that is scaring us otherwise. I like the way the author has given a logical reasoning behind all actions and reactions making it sound less impulsive and more reasonable. And that is exactly the reason how we can strive to overcome the action and reactions by applying the solutions provided by him.

This book is a friend, philosopher , guide and teacher in helping us realise our true potential and applying it at the right places to conquer our dreams.

Strongly recommended book for one and all, after all in life we all need a guide to keep moving ahead.

Books on Cinema

For a long time, cinema was a world I wasn’t allowed to enter. I grew up in a home where movies were banned. No television, no glimpses of silver screens, and no songs echoing from old classics. For nearly a decade, cinema was a forbidden word like a secret behind a closed door.  And yet, like all things that carry truth and longing, it found its way to me. Stories have a way of finding you, slipping through cracks, whispered between pages, caught in melodies. Sometimes through the corners of borrowed books, sometimes through whispered summaries from classmates, sometimes just through the magnetic pull of posters and songs I wasn’t supposed to hear. 

Book Review: The Ultimate Reality by Gian Kumar (Book 3)

Introduction ISIN: 978-93-52013-74-6 Genre:  Non-fiction / Self help Publishers:  Celestial Books (Leadstart Corp) Price:  Rs. 199/- (  I got the book from the publisher for a review ) In this third book, the author Gian Kumar has ventured into experiential awareness. His earlier books had shown that in spite of material and digital comforts in the world today, we are still living a life of dualities. Happiness-unhappiness, good-bad, God-devil, all exist side by side. Following spiritual teachings of gurus or masters do not give the much needed solace; there still seems to be something missing. The mind, with its constant chatter and habit of delving into past experiences and anxieties about the future, does not allow to live in the present moment and be aware in the 'now'. By the time our mind can register it, there is already a new 'now' which has taken its place. Here, the author has brought us into a deeper existence, where through experiential realiz...
