 Butterflies of Success by Ranga Iyer | Book Review

Butterflies of Success

Butterflies are very similar to humans, as both include stages to cover to live. Even humans live in four stages of life: infancy, childhood, adulthood, and old age. In this book, I was eager to explore the transformations in humans as success is knocking on the door. The path is not easy, but the journey is mesmerizing.

"Butterflies of Success" is a thought-provoking and engrossing narrative. Set in the bustling city, the story follows the journey of Prem and Mukta. They shift to the city, leaving their village life behind. Mukta carries her fourth daughter in her arms, and the rest are moving along with them. After deciding to move to the city, they have only a limited amount of money, which takes them to a small kholi. Their new place has limited furniture, and the sewage pipe is overflowing next door, which made them feel low and regret their decision.

Prem begins working and earning a living. Gradually, with time, Mukta joins him and begins working and opens her tailor shop. They become compatible with buying a house, hiring a tailor, cooking food, and selling pickles. Their hard work pays them well, and they become capable of providing their daughters with education and a normal life.

As they work, they feel they can easily afford the living and educate their daughters. But a time comes when Prem needs to leave his job to help Mukta in her business. This step is assumed to be vital but consumes Prem in a pit of debts and alcohol. The hidden secrets of Prem haunt him, and he seeks the help of friends. His increasing habit of drinking and gambling, and increasing expenses, create a void that Prem feels he must fill.

It is intriguing to read about their daughters growing and dwelling into love and then marriage. The story creates curiosity to know how they plan to overcome their debts and live a peaceful life. Their sweetness and urge to do something for their daughters and for themselves is praiseworthy.

The author has meticulously narrated the hard life of a poor farmer who has secrets to hide from his haunting past. Her vivid portrayals of the life and step-by-step successes of Prem and Mukta are impeccable.

Overall, this is a sweet story of hardships and the pains undertaken to run a family when you have little to survive. I admired reading this heartfelt story. I would recommend this book to all.

The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia

 The Psychology of Marketing: How Marketers Trick Us Into Buying More by Harinder Singh Pelia | Book Review Marketing is such an in-depth concept that it always transitions according to consumer preferences. The extent to which marketers go to sell their products will blow our minds away, as money comes first rather than people's needs. Even the bare detail that hints at our desires is manoeuvred to boost sales figures, often overshadowing the genuine connection between a brand and its audience. This relentless pursuit of profit can lead to practices that prioritise persuasive tactics over transparency, leaving consumers feeling manipulated rather than empowered. sales. How to make money might be in our control, but how money goes out of our pocket might not be, as psychology is in cohesion with marketing.

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...
