Do you want to change your career? Start a business? Stop losing sleep over a deadline? End your relationship? Or maybe, just live a fulfilling life? Everyone has goals and ambitions in life. But sometimes we do not pursue our dreams because we are afraid to fail or lose face. Instead of pursuing our dreams, we constantly worry about what we "should have" done or said, and this causes stress and anxiety. Moreover, that is the voice of fear, speaking to you.

We see other successful people, who achieved their goals, and think, "how do they do it?" This book uncovers the fearless mindset you need to be successful. The truth is that fear makes us negative and timid. Research shows that almost 2/3 of our thoughts are negative. No wonder that every time we want to pursue our desires, fear holds us back.

Achieve what you want from life: all it takes is action

Fear is triggered when our safety is in danger. It is a tool to avoid physical harm and death from enemies. Now, fear itself is our biggest enemy. We have to defeat the enemy within that knocks down our dreams. For instance, when you live in constant distress because you hate your job; your mood, dreams and above all, your health is impacted. Stress has severe consequences for our body and can lead to depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, and burn-out.

7 Steps To Freedom That You Can Apply Immediately

But there is good news: defeating fear and achieving your goals is a skill. Similar to mastering every skill, it takes practice and the right set of tools. Everything starts with one realization: fear is a choice. Massive Life Success unveils the principles of gaining control over your life, so you can say no to fear and achieve your goals. Learn to live a stress-free existence and achieve your goals by:

Knowing why people fail to reach their goals, and others succeed

Knowing how to live a life of joy and presence

Understanding the fear mechanism

Discovering the solution for stress

Finding your purpose

Right Body for You goes far beyond the usual prescriptions for diet and lifestyle changes. It provides a range of tools to help you change whatever about your body isn’t working for you based on your particular body’s needs. And at the same time, it will raise your awareness around your attitudes about food, aging, health, and money.

Radio talk show host Donielle Carter shares how by applying the Access tools and processes she went through a complete transformation � dropping from size 16 to size 6 � and from hiding from the world to being “willing to be the gift to the world that I can be.�

"Any area of your life that isn't ease, joy and glory is where you have a lack of consciousness or awareness,� states Gary. In this book, Gary shows the body is no exception.

]]> Beyond The Utopian Ideal 22302617
Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness®, describes how most people operate from a fixed idea or concept of how things are supposed to be, rather functioning in the moment � where they can change anything as needed to accomplish and create more. This creates a tremendous limitation.

Conceptual constructs are intended to create a purpose and a sense of rightness � such as relationship, sex, sexuality, family, and the future. Society, culture, religion, and reputation are also just constructs. They are not actually real; they are conceptual realities that have been dropped into our existence.

We buy into them, and then at some point, we give up our awareness in order to buy the rightness of this reality. We accept the notion that being normal, average, and real—just like everybody else—is the best and only way to be.

The problem with conceptual constructs, says Douglas, is that they put you into conflict with yourself at every turn. They set up and maintain limitations to what is actually possible.

This book will expose your constructs so you can consciously create a world that works for you.

]]> <![CDATA[Clarity & Connection (The Inward Trilogy)]]> 57363199 From the celebrated author of Inward comes a new collection of poetry and short prose that illuminates how past wounds impact our present relationships.

In Clarity and Connection, Yung Pueblo explores how intense emotions accumulate in our subconscious and condition us to act and react the ways we do. With his distinctive voice, at once spare and evocative, the author guides us through the excavation and release of the past that is required for growth. On the topic of intimate relationships, he reflects:

find a partner who accepts you as you are but also inspires you to evolve because they take their own growth seriously. love will not seek to change you. it will embrace you so unconditionally that you will feel safe enough to heal the old and put effort into the new. the courage you both have to stay committed to the inner journey will reflect brightly on your relationship.

]]> <![CDATA[The Lottery of Birth: On Inherited Social Inequalities]]> 35008392 Starting with the deeply moving stories of three writers, Arora explores the origins, persistence, and textures of inequalities rooted in the lottery of birth in India—of caste, class, gender, language, region, religion, and more—and their intersections in daily life. Blending scholarly rigor with moral intelligence, these essays engage with the Bhagavad Gita; the legacies of Ambedkar and Gandhi; Indian modernity, democracy, and nationalism; linguistic hierarchies; reservations; violence against women; identity politics; and much else that today weighs on Indian minds.
Praise for the
“The Lottery of Birth reveals Namit Arora to be one of our finest critics. In a raucous public sphere marked by blame and recrimination, these essays announce a bracing sensibility, as compassionate as it is curious, intelligent and nuanced.� � Pankaj Mishra , Essayist and Novelist.
“A remarkable compendium. The topics Arora tackles here—India’s formidable caste, class, and gender inequalities, and how its leaders, writers, and thinkers have engaged with them—have been tackled before, but mostly in dense academic volumes. What’s unique here is Arora’s seamlessly accessible and personable language, rich with autobiographical context, so we feel that the author has a stake in what he speaks of, above all, as an engaged citizen. From ancient scriptures to Dalit literature, reservations to violence against women, Arundhati Roy’s controversial views on Gandhi and Ambedkar to Perry Anderson’s controversial views on Indian history, these essays are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand contemporary India.� � Arun P. Mukherjee , Professor Emerita, York University.
“Namit Arora writes with envy-inspiring clarity and erudition about the central role in our lives of the many random inequalities we begin life with, such as class, gender, and, especially important in the Indian context, caste. This brilliant book is an immensely useful corrective to the conservative notion that people get more-or-less what they deserve, based on their own ‘merit� and hard work. Read it. If nothing else, it will surely soften your attitude toward the disadvantaged in our midst, which is never a bad thing.� � S.

]]> <![CDATA[Lighter: Let Go of the Past, Connect with the Present, and Expand The Future]]> 61637952 A radically compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world, from the New York Times bestselling author of Clarity & Connection

"During the years when I had abandoned myself, my mind felt undeniably heavy. I knew I needed to find a clear way to help me feel lighter."

yung pueblo's path to deep healing began only after years of drug abuse had taken a toll on his mind and body. Searching for a way forward, he found that by honestly examining and addressing the anxieties and fears that he had been running away from, he no longer felt like a stranger inside of his heart and mind. And once he dedicated himself to meditation and trusting his intuition, he started to finally feel mentally lighter, with more love emerging from within. This was not an easy journey, and it's one that he is still on, but it showed him that real healing is possible.

In Lighter, yung pueblo demonstrates how we can all move forward in our healing, from learning self-compassion to letting go to becoming emotionally mature. As the heaviness falls away, our minds will finally stop feeling overburdened with tension and we'll be able to reconnect with the present. And the world around us will hopefully become more inviting in crisp and newly vibrant ways. But these are just the first steps. As we grow stronger and expand our self-awareness, it's our responsibility--and also part of the healing journey--to take actions to support the health and harmony of all people. The final section of Lighter shows how we can and must contribute to building a world that is no longer structurally harmful but, instead, structurally compassionate.

yung pueblo's hope is that as more of us heal, our actions will become more intentional, our decisions will become more compassionate, our thinking will become clearer, and the future will become brighter.]]> 277 Yung Pueblo Sanhita 5 Revisiting the lessons from Vipassana

if you don't believe in
love, hope and magic?

A survivor of life and death, a fighter of depression and a believer of universe, Ashish Bagrecha, the best-selling author of self-help book ‘Dear Stranger, I Know How You Feel� and one of the most popular Instagram poets, brings you his very first collection of poetry because he thinks poetry has the magic to heal people.

Divided into six chapters, Love, Hope and Magic is about loving deeply and getting broken. It’s about falling into the darkness and still chasing the light. It’s about letting love find you, trusting the universe and believing in the magic we carry within ourselves.

Love, Hope and Magic is not written to inspire you but to fix you.
Because

love comes, leaves and pains,
but magic happens and stays,
and all we need is
a little hope in between.]]> 233 Ashish Bagrecha Sanhita 4 3.91 2020 LOVE, HOPE AND MAGIC

]]> Black Book of Love 60886128 - Durjoy Datta, Best selling author and Screenwriter

Love is simple. Love is complicated.
Love is enabling. Love is toxic.
Love is vexing. Love is mundane.
Love is calming. Love is insane.
Love is seductive. Love is platonic.
Love exists or it doesn’t. Like black and white.
Love is never grey. There’s no in-between.
Only love is true. Only love is real.

The poems in this book had sneaked in long back.
They crouched in dark nooks of the subconscious,
vaguely stirring from time to time.
Like the one memory you are not supposed to have
but always lingers somewhere close.
Now all of them are waiting for you.
Waiting to enter your world.
Waiting to kindle your imagination.
Or maybe, they are waiting to trigger something more.
That, we’ll leave to you to discover.

‘Utterly unputdownable, heart-warming and real.'

]]> The Last Lecture 40611510
When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasn't about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living.

In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.]]> 217 Randy Pausch Sanhita 0 4.30 2008 The Last Lecture

Each of us is born with a sacred wound that is an initiation to call the soul back home, to awaken us to our destiny and our highest potential.
Notes to the Beloved is an authentic, honest exploration of the sacred wound of true love against the backdrop of the collective wound of the pandemic.
What does it take to embrace and surrender to the beloved for who they truly are instead of struggling to sculpt them to match our map of the world and love?
Why is the death of ego such a formidable challenge when it comes to matters of the heart?
Are we aware of the truth that one can be only as intimate with one’s beloved as one is with their self?
How does one move from separation to mystical union with oneself and the beloved?
How do we mend our broken hearts to be our savior and protector?
The book explores these questions & many more through the lens of the author’s odyssey & expands into a voyage of truth and awakening leading to her catharsis.
Written as a cluster of musings, the author deconstructs the power dynamics of an erotic relationship, thru a raw, unfiltered narrative.
This genre-fluid book offers a slice of life where the frailty of emotions comes into sharp focus. It’s a fierce attempt at self-restoration & self-preservation as one meanders thru a maze of pain, passion & confusion.
Penned as poetic prose, this brave, unapologetic book affirms to be a magic flying carpet for those who recognize intimacy as a sacred journey.]]> 188 Meenu Mehrotra 8195037208 Sanhita 4 4.65 Notes to the Beloved: Lessons in Self Love, Intimacy and Detachment

Review:


“Breezy, Flippant, Poignant... Tales of pleasurable wickedness.�

-Salil Desai, author of Inspector Saralkar Mystery Series


“Although not all sugar and sunshine, Dalvi's voice is an important one, because he chooses to tell stories that others would normally shy away from. There's a serene resignation in his tales, one that is completely devoid of both hope as well as regret. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories.�

-Bhaskar Chattopadhyay, author of Patang, Penumbra, Here Falls the Shadow, The Disappearance of Sally Sequeira and Best Served Cold


“Gripping short-stories by Rafaa Dalvi. I am both intrigued and scared by his plot-twists. Thrilled to have read this book.�

-Sanhita Baruah, author of The Art of Letting Go and The Art of Healing


“Some of the best stories I have read so far. Rafaa has a gift of telling complex stories in a very intuitive and straightforward and are easy to read. This book is the best thing that has come out during these current circumstances.�

-S. G. Kabe, author of Everything is Normal


“Rafaa Dalvi is a flash fiction expert.�

-T.F. Carthick, author of Carthick’s Unfairy Tales and More Unfairy Tales


“Taut, propulsive and riveting, Rafaa’s mesmerising stories pack a big punch. Chasing Nirvana has been carefully crafted for maximum impact. A highly compelling read.�

The Little Book of Hygge: The Danish Way to Live Well

The Danish word hygge is one of those beautiful words that doesn't directly translate into English, but it more or less means comfort, warmth or togetherness. Hygge is the feeling you get when you are cuddled up on a sofa with a loved one, in warm knitted socks, in front of the fire, when it is dark, cold and stormy outside. It that feeling when you are sharing good, comfort food with your closest friends, by candle light and exchanging easy conversation. It is those cold, crisp blue sky mornings when the light through your window is just right.

Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living

Step aside Hygge. Lagom is the new Scandi lifestyle trend taking the world by storm. This delightfully illustrated book gives you the lowdown on this transformative approach to life and examines how the lagom ethos has helped boost Sweden to the No.10 ranking in 2017's World Happiness Report. Lagom (pronounced 'lah-gom') has no equivalent in the English language but is loosely translated as 'not too little, not too much, just right'. It is widely believed that the word comes from the Viking term 'laget om', for when a mug of mead was passed around a circle and there was just enough for everyone to get a sip.]]> Héctor García 9123672609 Sanhita 0 currently-reading 3.85 2018 Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life / The Little Book of Lykke / Lagom: The Swedish Art of Balanced Living

]]> <![CDATA[The Perks of Being a Wallflower]]> 22628 offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see
what it looks like from the dance floor.

This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being A WALLFLOWER

This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that the perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.

Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

Sanhita Baruah
Author of ‘The Art of Grieving� and ‘The Art of Letting Go�

Are you interested in unconventional storytelling? How about a story where the beginning, middle and the end are on the same page? A narrative that makes you frown on page 1, nod in agreement on page 2 and chuckle on page 3?
How about reading short fiction then? I highly recommend Small is Big by Rafaa Dalvi. The long and short of fiction in endearing small portions!
Rickie Khosla
Author of ‘The Imperative Subterfuge� and ‘Pretty Vile Girl�

The book has something for everyone. It has humor � a few of slap stick variety, playing on puns, it has punch where you get a most unexpected twist, it has philosophy, it has romance and it has horror � stories that chill your spine.
T.F. Carthick
Author of ‘Carthick’s Unfairy Tales� and ‘More Unfairy Tales�

]]> <![CDATA[Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable]]> 641604
You're either a Purple Cow or you're not. You're either remarkable or invisible. Make your choice.

What do Starbucks and JetBlue and KrispyKreme and Apple and DutchBoy and Kensington and Zespri and Hard Candy have that you don't? How do they continue to confound critics and achieve spectacular growth, leaving behind former tried-and true brands to gasp their last?

Face it, the checklist of tired 'P's marketers have used for decades to get their product noticed - Pricing, Promotion, Publicity, to name a few - aren't working anymore. There's an exceptionally important 'P' that has to be added to the list. It's Purple Cow.

Cows, after you've seen one, or two, or ten, are boring. A Purple Cow, though...now that would be something. Purple Cow describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff-a lot of brown cows - but you can bet they won't forget a Purple Cow. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to your product or service. Purple Cow is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period.

In Purple Cow, Seth Godin urges you to put a Purple Cow into everything you build, and everything you do, to create something truly noticeable. It's a manifesto for marketers who want to help create products that are worth marketing in the first place.

Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you?

Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - Mitch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class': lessons in how to live.]]> 210 Mitch Albom Sanhita 5 4.19 1997 Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson

]]> <![CDATA[Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything]]> 1202
These may not sound like typical questions for an economist to ask. But Steven D. Levitt is not a typical economist. He is a much heralded scholar who studies the stuff and riddles of everyday life -- from cheating and crime to sports and child rearing -- and whose conclusions regularly turn the conventional wisdom on its head. He usually begins with a mountain of data and a simple, unasked question. Some of these questions concern life-and-death issues; others have an admittedly freakish quality. Thus the new field of study contained in this book: freakonomics.

Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and co-author Stephen J. Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives -- how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing. In Freakonomics, they set out to explore the hidden side of ... well, everything. The inner workings of a crack gang. The truth about real-estate agents. The myths of campaign finance. The telltale marks of a cheating schoolteacher. The secrets of the Ku Klux Klan.

What unites all these stories is a belief that the modern world, despite a surfeit of obfuscation, complication, and downright deceit, is not impenetrable, is not unknowable, and -- if the right questions are asked -- is even more intriguing than we think. All it takes is a new way of looking. Steven Levitt, through devilishly clever and clear-eyed thinking, shows how to see through all the clutter.

Freakonomics establishes this unconventional premise: If morality represents how we would like the world to work, then economics represents how it actually does work. It is true that readers of this book will be armed with enough riddles and stories to last a thousand cocktail parties. But Freakonomics can provide more than that. It will literally redefine the way we view the modern world.

]]> <![CDATA[You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)]]> 23705512
The Internet isn’t all cat videos. There’s also Felicia Day—violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world... or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet Geeks and ŷ book clubs.

After growing up in the south where she was "home-schooled for hippie reasons", Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia’s misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company, and become an Internet star.

Felicia’s short-ish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now, Felicia’s strange world is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism—just like her memoir.

Hilarious and inspirational, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now—even for a digital misfit.]]> 272 Felicia Day 1476785651 Sanhita 0 to-read 4.05 2015 You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost)

]]> Long Walk to Freedom 318431
Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's anti-apartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality.

The foster son of a Thembu chief, Mandela was raised in the traditional, tribal culture of his ancestors, but at an early age learned the modern, inescapable reality of what came to be called apartheid, one of the most powerful and effective systems of oppression ever conceived. In classically elegant and engrossing prose, he tells of his early years as an impoverished student and law clerk in a Jewish firm in Johannesburg, of his slow political awakening, and of his pivotal role in the rebirth of a stagnant ANC and the formation of its Youth League in the 1950s.

He describes the struggle to reconcile his political activity with his devotion to his family, the anguished breakup of his first marriage, and the painful separations from his children. He brings vividly to life the escalating political warfare in the fifties between the ANC and the government, culminating in his dramatic escapades as an underground leader and the notorious Rivonia Trial of 1964, at which he was sentenced to life imprisonment. Herecounts the surprisingly eventful twenty-seven years in prison and the complex, delicate negotiations that led both to his freedom and to the beginning of the end of apartheid. Finally he provides the ultimate inside account.]]> 656 Nelson Mandela 0316548189 Sanhita 0 to-read 4.34 1994 Long Walk to Freedom

� Milan Vohra author of ‘Tick-tock we’re 30�

The lives of five residents of the sleepy little town of Lansdowne in Uttarakhand is loosely connected. They have all been at the receiving end of independent unexplained experiences. Their past is intertwined with their present and maybe the future, in case it exists.

They can only succeed collectively by joining forces. However, success is one of the many possibilities. They don’t know the unseen. They have no idea what the Chimera of Lansdowne is. They must explore the only direction they have.

Will they come together to take advantage of a once in a lifetime alignment of celestial bodies? Time like always is limited. Will they be able to connect all the dots and find the key? Will they succeed in breaking the cycle?]]> 162 Sanjeev Kotnala 1644298430 Sanhita 4

]]> <![CDATA[WOLFPACK: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game]]> 41812857 Based on her inspiring, viral 2018 commencement speech to Barnard College’s graduates in New York City, New York Times bestselling author, two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA World Cup champion Abby Wambach delivers her empowering rally cry for women to unleash their individual power, unite with their pack, and emerge victorious together.

Abby Wambach became a champion because of her incredible talent as a soccer player. She became an icon because of her remarkable wisdom as a leader. As the co-captain of the 2015 Women’s World Cup Champion Team, she created a culture not just of excellence, but of honor, commitment, resilience, and sisterhood. She helped transform a group of individual women into one of the most successful, powerful and united Wolfpacks of all time.

In her retirement, Abby’s ready to do the same for her new team: All Women Everywhere.

In Wolfpack, Abby’s message to women is:

We have never been Little Red Riding Hood. We Are the Wolves.
We must wander off the path and blaze a new one: together.

She insists that women must let go of old rules of leadership that neither include or serve them. She’s created a new set of Wolfpack rules to help women unleash their individual power, unite with their Wolfpack, and change the landscape of their lives and world: from the family room to the board room to the White House.

· Make failure your fuel: Transform failure to wisdom and power.
· Lead from the bench: Lead from wherever you are.
· Champion each other: Claim each woman’s victory as your own.
· Demand the effing ball: Don’t ask permission: take what you’ve earned.

In Abby’s vision, we are not Little Red Riding Hoods, staying on the path because we’re told to. We are the wolves, fighting for a better tomorrow for ourselves, our pack, and all the future wolves who will come after us.]]> 112 Abby Wambach 1250217709 Sanhita 0 to-read 4.13 2019 WOLFPACK: How to Come Together, Unleash Our Power, and Change the Game

]]> The Gifted School 42207168
This deliciously sharp novel captures the relentless ambitions and fears that animate parents and their children in modern America, exploring the conflicts between achievement and potential, talent and privilege.

Set in the fictional town of Crystal, Colorado, The Gifted School is a keenly entertaining novel that observes the drama within a community of friends and parents as good intentions and high ambitions collide in a pile-up with long-held secrets and lies. Seen through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents, willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost.]]> 452 Bruce Holsinger 0525534962 Sanhita 0 to-read 3.71 2019 The Gifted School

Or to be recognized as Saif Ali Khan's sister?
Or as Kareena Kapoor's sister-in-law?

With never before published photos from her family's archives, The Perils of Being Moderately Famous takes us through some of the most poignant moments of Soha's life-from growing up as a modern-day princess and her days at Balliol College to life as a celebrity in the times of social media culture and finding love in the most unlikely of places-all with refreshing candour and wit.]]> 210 Soha Ali Khan 0143439960 Sanhita 3 3.37 2017 The Perils of Being Moderately Famous [Paperback] [Dec 01, 2017] Soha Ali Khan

Small is Big Voume 2 is even better than the first 1. The stories are more gripping and more evil this time. Each micro-tale made me stop and think for a while. Binge-reading is the best way to read this one while taking some time on hand to delve into the pits of a strange world with stranger characters.
