Review of 8 Things to do when you turn 20

8 Things to do when you turn 20 is an informative book by Debotosh Chatterjee. The book contains 8 major lessons that would be a helping hand to learn from mistakes of others.


As said by the author the 8 key points to achieve a better living include being self reliant, solution oriented, avoiding narrow mentality and....more ( read the book to explore them all).

I found each and every chapter quite relatable and Out of all these chapters I loved the concept of "ACQUAINTANCES VS FRIENDS" the most. As youth today believes in friendship factor more than anything this will open up the young minds to understand the difference between acquaintances and friends.



As said by the author himself, this book is an "appetiser" for young minds to be curious to explore more ideas. At the end the 80:20 principle in the conclusion was quite inspiring.

A must read for all who are in their early 20s. Kudos to the author for writing and sharing these life learnings.

Review of "Not You Please"

Kudos to the author Anuradha Dev for her debut novel Not You Please. This novel caught me off guard because it is romantic taste love triangle crisp.


The story is about Mishti, who is more of an introvert in a herd of extroverts. Her school life seems miserable as she had faced bully by one of the well known guy in their school, named, Vikram. The story starts with Mishti, Saahil and Vikram being assigned to the same team in a group project. 


As the situation says a bully, an introvert and Sahil. Ok so who is Sahil? 

May be a part of love triangle? 

What do you guys feel? 


More interesting facts will be revealed once you read the book and experience the school time love story, it's effects, it's actions and even nostalgia if you can relate it to your school days (in some events). 


The book is short crisp and an amazing piece of story telling that made me lost in the story. The title seems the most appropriate one when you go through the chapters. The writing style of the author makes the book more readable and interesting to the reader.


Overall, a must read for all my readers!!

Negative emotions are OK but how not knowing how to handle is NOT!!

It's easy to let negative emotions like apathy and discouragement take over when things get tough. Sending yourself into a spiral of self-doubt can be especially damaging when you're trying to achieve a goal.


Believe it or not, there are a few simple things you can do to instantly boost your motivation. By taking control of your thoughts and emotions, you can get back on track and better handle whatever challenges come your way.




Here are 5 simple steps to instantly boost your motivation:


1. Acknowledge your current feelings.


The first step to managing your emotions is to simply acknowledge how you're feeling in the moment. Don't try to push away negative feelings or tell yourself that you shouldn't be feeling that way. This will only make you feel worse.


2. Identify your main source of discouragement.


Once you've acknowledged your feelings, it's time to identify the main source of your discouragement. What is it that's holding you back? Is it a specific task that you're dreading? Or are you feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to do?


3. Break down your goal into smaller steps.


One of the best ways to overcome discouragement is to break down your goal into smaller, more manageable steps. When you have a clear plan of action, it's easier to stay motivated and focused.


4. Set a deadline for yourself.


Another great way to stay motivated is to set a deadline for yourself. This will give you a sense of urgency and help you stay on track.


5. Find a support group or mentor.


Finally, find a support group or mentor who could easily cheer you up and you feel free to share things with them.


Ready to get started? Let's go!


Implement the above steps and let me know how it helps you and the people around you.
