Winning the moment by Cody Adent
“If you love to win, you’re going to love this book. Even if you don’t care much about winning, you’ll still love this book.” Success and winning are not two sides of the same coin because success means different things to different people. The author emphasizes the importance of knowing what you want from your life. Classroom learning, if not applied in real life, doesn’t make much sense. Very few people have a unique relationship with winning, while the world is constantly evolving, and you should be prepared to learn and unlearn.
This book serves as a guide on how to maintain work-life balance, lead a happy and contented life, plan your goals, and understand how your mind works. Just as your body needs exercise, your mind needs mental exercise as well.
The book is filled with examples, the author’s experiences, and many success stories. Reading such books regularly helps you stay on track.
Pyjamas are forgiving by Twinkle Khanna
This is my first read by the actor and author, and I was quite amazed by her way of narration.
Anshu, a divorcee in her 30s, is suffering from a sleep disorder. Seeking peace, she ends up at “Santamaya,” a retreat center in Kerala that focuses on physical and mental stability. The center provides a routine to follow while keeping you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, there’s a twist when she encounters her ex-husband and his new wife at the retreat. Old emotions and past experiences resurface, and they seek comfort from each other once again.
In the past, divorce was rare, and despite differences and challenges, couples often stayed together. Today, divorce is more common and accepted, and couples sometimes part ways or choose new partners without nurturing their relationships. Often, this new relationship also loses its spark over time, and by then, it can be too late to realize what’s missing. You’ll find something relevant to this theme in the story.
The narrative will keep you hooked until the end, with a plot, characters, and narration that are all just right.

Sex with Next
Talking about sex is a taboo in India. Unfortunately, this has led to a huge population but a reluctance to openly discuss sexual matters. It is often perceived as a male-centric topic, while women are expected to be “good” and refrain from acknowledging their own desires or physical needs.
However, women also have desires and experience them, often in secret. Exploring this book for the first time made me think deeply about these issues. Women can go to great lengths to explore their sexuality outside of marriage.
The book features steamy and entertaining stories of women exploring sex outside of marriage. While it is a fun read, these stories carry a deeper meaning. They highlight how women’s desires are often secondary to societal expectations. Women are frequently seen as epitomes of sacrifice and compromise, living for others while neglecting their own needs. This can lead to a profound sense of loss when their roles change—such as when their husbands pass away and their children become absorbed in their own lives. Many women struggle with depression because they have spent so much of their lives living for others that they no longer know how to live for themselves.

A history to be read, understood, explored, and shared—this is what the book about the Somnath Temple offers. It delves into the temple’s history and much more. Specifically, the book discusses a hidden treasure and a code that needs to be deciphered to locate it. This code was created by Dr. Nila, and after her death, it falls to Aditya to find the treasure.
The story revolves around a treasure hunt involving several people who face obstacles as well as receive help and guidance from various sources. While the narrative is engaging and entertaining, knowing that it is based on true events adds an extra layer of intrigue and excitement.
This book will certainly ignite a passion for history. If your child loves history, encourage their interest by exploring this subject further—it’s like uncovering your past.
The book offers a glimpse into our rich heritage and culture, demonstrating that our ancestors were highly intelligent and knowledgeable. Grab this book and take pride in being Indian.
