Revolution 2020 by Chetan Bhagat

Revolution 2020 is a perfect potrayal of Love, corruption and struggle. I used to read chetan bhagat at a very early stage when i started reading novels, not a fan of most of his novels, but Revolution 2020 had an impact on me.
The story revolves around 3 childhood friends , Gopal , Raghav and Aarti who struggle to find love and success , they reside in a small town of Varanasi, while reading , one can easily take feels of varanasi as a city, every minute detail about the city can be felt.
Love triangle and political corruption can be seen throughout the book,many a times i feel too much sad for Gopal who struggles a lot between his studies and his father.Raghav is too a bright student, but his thoughts about life are different than of Gopal, mostly leading to a rift between the two.Aarti however is a static character throughout the book who wants to be a flight attendent and to find one epic love, which eventually makes way for a love triangle between 3 of them.
Do read to experience different types of situation one can go through to finally live a life one desires💫
MY RATING-3.5/5

Who moved my cheese by Dr.Spencer Johnson

Who moved my cheese is a type of self help book.I don't read self help books much but i heard a lot about this and eventually decided to read this book.
I think this book adopts a  pretty amazing way of telling people that how to deal with changes in one's life, which indeed is an important phase.The book uses metaphors of two mice sniff and scurry and two people Hem and Haw.
I think everybody should read this book , when people go through difficulties dealing with change, they tend to go to depression , so do read this book to clear you mind.
Also, the book is short and simple , take atleast 2-3 hours from your schedule and discover life's simple truths by reading this self care book :)
MY RATING-4/5
