📜BOOK: Being A Journey
📜AUTHOR: Pankaj Gupta
📜GENRE: Self-Help, Non-Fiction
📝RATING: 4.5/5

✒️MY TAKE:

I wouldn't call 'Being: A Journey' merely a self-help guide. This book is much more than that. The author’s words will put you into an introspective mentality, propelling you to turn the cog-wheels in your mind to actually understand what you are genuinely capable of.

One of the thoughtful aspects that I liked about this book is the questionnaire put across by the author in the introduction section. These questions felt like personal journaling which prompted me to think about my creative pursuits I would like to embark on as well as how I utilized my quality time personally and professionally. This questionnaire set the context of this book which encouraged me to read further.

Mr Pankaj Gupta has shared tons of practical insights taking a leaf out of his personal life. The very fact that the author was backing and corroborating each nuances of Communication, Time Management, Professional Growth Plan with his personal experiences and successes, added tremendous credibility to this book.


Overall, 'Being: A Journey' has been a motivating read for me where I enjoyed the truth bombs dropped by the author, calling out on our day-to-day idiosyncrasies and sharing a workaround for each lazy habit that we can convert into a profitable and fruitful one.

  Love is a Verb encompasses the trials and tribulation of maintaining a relationship after you have enjoyed your honeymoon period.  🕒This story is set in the 1960s era when being in love was tougher than falling in love. 🕓Manav is your quintessentially disciplined boy who is serious about his career and has his fair share of challenges. 🕝Enter Madhu, who is like a breath of fresh air and brought some colours to the life of Manav. 🥇I commend the author for crafting a realistic image of a relationship which is far from a rosy picture. The author has built a concrete plot justifying his title that Love is indeed a Verb which signifies physical or mental action. Love is more than the butterflies in the stomach or the abstract feeling of attraction. 🥇Any reader would relate to the challenges faced by Manav and Madhu who were navigating through long distance relationship and familial expectations.  🥇I also liked the subtle cultural background induced by the author in thi...
