The Ex Factor by Harini Srinivasan | Book review

Book review:

"The Ex-Factor" by Harini Srinivasan is a perfect blend of madness, chaos, laughs and relatability. The story introduces a colourful cast, each grappling with their own experiences of joy, sorrow, and turmoil.

The story revolves around Oindrilla, a young working woman juggling life, parents, especially a mom, a person with a high portfolio who has an opinion about everything, an annoying boss, office politics, a best friend and an ex-lover who comes back from the past. She's trying to balance her professional life working at an NGO EOFA that imparts equal opportunity for all and her personal life but to no avail.

Her parents, house help, two dogs Chipki and Choco and Hawkeye (her boss) are seeking both her time and attention at the same time. Her best friend Sweety flabbergasted her with her engagement with Divya and pondered for more attention to solve her issues. On the other side, her cousin, Ankita has issues of her own, and Oinks gets caught up in their mess too.

However, a field trip to Shillong comes up as an escape opportunity for her. But Oinks and her life twists go hand in hand. In an unforeseen turn, her one true love, Vivek Rao, reenters her life as a colleague. Now, in addition to her daily challenges, Oinks must navigate the enigma of her heart. With dilemmas, distractions, and inner dialogues as constant companions, she unexpectedly finds herself tumbling headlong into love with Vivek once again.⁣ Will she be able to control her desire of longing for him?

⁣

The author adeptly guides us through Oindrilla’s realm, where friendship, love, familial bonds and workplace dynamics intertwine seamlessly. The various cities she traverses come to life on the pages, woven into the narrative with a touch of humour that consistently elicits smiles. The author's ability to seamlessly intertwine laughter and poignant moments makes for a well-rounded reading experience.

Overall, This book is a light fluffy rom-com read. The narrative was lucid with easy usage of language which also makes it beginner-friendly. Nicely plotted story. Worth reading, do grab it!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness by Deekay

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
