he Startups of Bharat: Stories of India’s Million-Dollar Founders under Thirty by Aditya Arora , Surya Pasricha

"The Startups of Bharat" stands out because it has a rare combination of soul, structure, and relatability. It uses a familiar but never simplistic tone to speak directly to the young Indian reader, especially those from non-metro backgrounds.

The book takes us through the lives and lessons of young Indian entrepreneurs under thirty, some of whom have raised millions of dollars and achieved unicorn status. But it's not just about IPOs or funding rounds.

It is about the initial itch to solve a real problem, the confusion of figuring things out, and the joy (or sorrow) of starting from scratch. Each of the 15 chapters breaks down different stages of the startup journey, from idea generation to scaling.

The fact that it departs from the conventional startup narrative of Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi is refreshing. It brings in voices from Indore, Surat, and Lucknow—places you don’t usually associate with million-dollar ventures.

The authors have done a great job of explaining useful strategies in a way that is easy to understand and use. This inclusive approach not only broadens the conversation around entrepreneurship in India but also highlights the diverse potential that exists beyond the well-trodden paths.

By showcasing these emerging hubs, the book inspires a new generation of innovators to explore opportunities in their communities. This book doesn’t just inspire—it educates.

Overall, it is useful for both novice and experienced founders because it emphasises the significance of comprehending customer requirements and creating long-term value.

I would like to special mention of how it inspires readers to begin, continue, and succeed. Highly recommended for businesspeople at all stages.

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...

My journey of motherhood| Tips for mothers with ASD children

My Journey of Motherhood: To date, I remember how I was rushed to the hospital as I was feeling uneasy and could not feel any movement inside the womb. I got hospitalized in an emergency and tests were conducted. I was on a regular checkup by the doctors every hour and after some time I was advised not to eat or drink after this hour. I was too dumb to understand the situation. In the morning, when I woke up the doctor who was handling my case came to check me and bombarded me when I mentioned that I drank a glass of water. His anger had no limits and he scolded the staff for not supervising me properly. In a fraction of a second, a decision was made. I was prepared for my c-section. But I was not mentally prepared for it, I started making lame excuses but to no avail. At last, I was taken in the OT and the process started. I was only able to hear the idle banter of doctors and nurses inside. After some time I heard the first cry of my child and I forgot all my pains. The doctor ...
