Maverick Unchanged and Unrepentant - Ram Jethmalani (2013)

You may not agree to the views expressed by the author but you cannot ignore them. Starting from Nehruvian India to Narendra Modi , Ram Jethmalani expresses his views on various controversial topics in an incisive analysis which only an experienced lawyer of his stature can do. The book has its highs and lows. Not all the expressions are in alignment to the reader's mind. But, you will always feel the author has a strong justifiable opinion in his claims. A good read but not all chapters can keep your interest alive.

Entrepreneur: Jack Ma, Alibaba and the 40 Thieves (2012) - Think Maverick

Contains about 40 of Jack Ma's most popular quotes. Definitely, very interesting quotes. But where the book falters in the explanation notes on each of the quotes. Highly, rhetoric and soporific. I cannot suggest anyone to read the book. Not a judicious utilization of time.

Little red book of punctuation - Terry O'brien (2012)

Good to see an interesting book on punctuation. Rules for punctuation are essentially hard for everyone. There are real subtle nuances. Unfortunately, the book has errors at places, has some editorial mistakes. In normal circumstances, I would have let it go but when you're trying to learn something meticulously like grammar such errors mean a lot.

Otherwise, a descent book on punctuations.

India in Love - Ira Trivedi (2014)

A book that will be remembered as the ultimate book of personal relationships of Indians of post liberalization. Talking about sex, marriage, social changes, divorce, there is hardly any aspects that has not been addressed in the book spanning over 400 pages. Remarkably detailed and exploring every of the views like scriptures, law, traditional practices. The author's interests in research can be easily understood from the detailed interviews she has taken and places she has visited which can be considered as places angels fear to tread. The book essentially divided into two parts part one on sex and second on love and family. The apt classification makes it a new dimension to look at culturally diverse a society India is.

A book that's unputdownable and definitely the author will leave a substantial mark in history on her authorship.

Speed Reading: How to Double (or Triple) Your Reading Speed in Just 1 Hour! - Justin Hammond

Habits takes days or even years' of practice to develop. This is one such book. Though the concept is simple, it takes time to apply it again and again to master it. There are many good books in the subject, this book won't classify itself extra ordinary but fairly concise and to the point. It talks of very few effective methodologies one can apply.

1. Not to vocalize
2. Not to regress
3. And read phrases or chunks instead of words

Also, talks about when not to overdo it. For example, it's ok to slowdown a bit when the subject matter is difficult, unfamiliar or skimming through is not entirely possible. Most importantly, the techniques need regular practice and enhanced reading habits to be successful.

JEH - A Life of JRD Tata - Bakhtiar K Dadabhoy (2005)

Little is known about the visionary of Indian industry who has established many firsts of industrial India. Lived through the ups and downs of political changes that underscored India in prominence of Nehrvian vision, Indira Gandhi, short periods under Janata Dal and early parts of liberalisation in India. The aviation man, father of Air India and first official pilot licensee in India definitely needs a lot to be praised for. The book although short and seem a bit dated provides a great details of the works and life of the legendary. The style is fast, a breeze read and very little on preaching.  An overall good informative read.
