Of Love Deceit Pain And Self Realization (Book Review)

Book: Thank You Love
Author: Ayush Gupta
Publisher: Half Baked Beans

In this day and age, it is not uncommon to fall in and out of relationships. People get into relationship (on trial basis) if they feel things are not working out, they break up and get into a new relationship. It’s fine! It’s the norm today, majority of our younger population follow it. 

 However, what is unusual is one of the partners unable to get over the break up and move on in life. It is not very common to see somebody being unable to believe that his/her partner has moved on and so should the person as well.

This plot revolves around Rayan, who is madly and deeply in love with Akshita; however due to certain circumstances Akshita decides to break up this relationship and move on. 


Rayan is unable to accept it. Though he does nothing to ‘avenge’ this cheat, but works on himself to understand the real meaning of life.

The author Ayush, with the help of the protagonist has very subtly tried to explain that there is life beyond a girlfriend and a broken heart. He has elucidated that life is given to us to set and achieve our goals, live our dreams and love wholeheartedly without any qualms. 

The story covers all interesting aspects of life, most youngsters face these days  - love, pain and self realization. 

Although it’s bears a good advice for lovers to dwell in peace, the story lacks intensity and depth.

I received this book from Half Baked Beans against an honest and unbiased review.

My rating: 3 Stars

You Hired Smart Talent. But Are You Training Them Right?

Every year, organizations hire bright interns and freshers from top institutes. They come in with promise, potential, and the right intent. But somewhere between onboarding and execution, something quietly breaks. Not because they lack capability. But because they’re not really trained, properly. In many workplaces, especially in fast-paced functions like communications, freshers are given tasks, targets, and timelines, but not the depth required to execute them well. Take something as simple as media outreach.

Draupadi - Action Prevails Emotions

The woman of Kaliyuga…. before the Kaliyuga descended One of the few very clear memories I still have of my childhood is when my mother was feeding me lunch and we were happily chatting about Mahabharata. While talking, I said ‘when I grow up, I want to become Draupadi’. She yelled at me ‘ pagal ho gayi ho kya?, kuch bhi bak bak karti ho. Khana khao chup chap ’. I was taken aback by her sudden anger. Barely 7-8 years of age, I didn’t quite understand the reason for her annoyance, then. Today, after decades I certainly do. Indeed, I do understand, why a mother wouldn’t want her daughter to become Draupadi or even get closer to what she suffered. All said and done, she was the heroine of the one of the only two greatest epics of the country’s history – Mahabharata.
