The Mind Game Book Review

"The Mind Game", the title itself is attractive and engaging.

I am always curious to know about human psychology and love to read books which are on psychology and self-help. The Mind Game by Devika Das is a really wonderful and helpful book. 

There are total of six sections in the book which talks about the different factors of human. 

1.) Emotions, this talks about what are the emotions, how that shows our sides and how to control these.

2.) Analysing People, this talks about how to behave or react to any situation and also about behavioural patterns.

3.) Be happy with what you have, talks about small things in life also have a great add on to your happy lifestyle.

4.) Go Happy, Go Happy, it defined as happiness is the key to success.

5.) Anger issues talk about how anger can control our growth.

6.) Happy workplace talks about we change our behaviour according to the people around us.

The Author is professional and nicely conveyed her message over such points. the writing style is way too easy and understandable. 

Overall it's a great self-help read, if you're interested in the non-fictions then Must give it a try.

The Procrastinator's Mind Book review

Postponing actions, its the main problem among many people of delaying the things and stretching the works till the deadline. We grow older with the same mentality and never put a single effort to same things on time and in a perfect manner. This thought of delaying and postponing the actions is known as the Procrastination. Procrastination is nothing more than an inner thought of which demotivate you to do things. 

I personally suffer from this problem and this very common. To find the solution to this I found this wonderful book on the internet. "The Procrastinator's Mind" by "Balivada" is really a great and helpful book. The title is saying that what's inside this. Although the title is apt to the content inside but still I think the title could be much more attractive and understandable. 

In today's world most of the time we spend on scrolling feed on the internet and keep delaying the work. And at the early stage, we never realise that it could affect us but by the time it takes you down with every thought and in result, we lose our respect, work, trust and etc. and that is because of every effort we ignored at the moment.

Now we understand the problem but what's the solution to this and how will it work? Answers to all such concern are in the book. 

This is a guide to make things better. A book of hardly 100 pages will teach you to overcome over procrastination. The author has accomplished a great job on writing such needy topic. This book is no doubt very helpful. The author has written the book in a great manner and you'll easily understand the things very clearly.  

The book is highly recommended to everyone especially to the people of middle age and the students or the people who are new to any profession.

After a very long time, I read the children book and let me tell you frankly it was such a wonderful experience reading this book. 

Being an Author I understood the responsibilities of the Author's but in the case of children book you have many limitations like to keep the language and writing style easy flowing and understandable by the children, I must appreciate the Hashwrite they have beautifully penned down this amazing story is brilliant manner.

The title is apt to the story so as the cover image, beautiful and attractive. 

The story revolves around a group of five grade 4 children, the group is named as The Chemical Drones. The story starts in Wonder wiz Global school where before the Diwali holidays someone from the junior section blasted the Diwali bomb in the school.

What Will grade four do now? Will they make it to impress the teachers? Answers to all these are in this beautiful book.

It's a short book of around 105 pages will hardly take 30 - 40 minutes to read. The image and illustration between the pages make it more alluring.

Once there was me Book review

Once There Was Me is the perfect title to this beautiful book with an attractive cover image. 

Although the book has around 415 pages Bobby's flawless writing and way of storytelling will not let you put it away and won't take much time to read. This is something like a semi-autobiography of the author. 

The book will take you to the back into the time of partition of India and Pakistan. It is rich full of stories about that era. As the author has lived all these years he has openly written all the things about that time. The book will take you to roller coaster ride of emotions. The author has done a brilliant job in writing very beautifully and you won't need to put any extra efforts to understands the things. 

This book is much more than what I expect from it. We have been hearing the stories of partition but this personal note on the incident will definitely steal your heart. The book is something like a story of survival that how Author and his family survived through all the downtime. 

Go and read this beautiful and heart touching tales of the Bobby Sachdeva.

2. When did you publish your first book, please share your experience of the first time published author?

Well, I didn’t jump straight away to a book. I began my writing journey with children’s stories and they were published in reputed magazines such as Champak, Chandamama, Nandan, Balbharti etc. Afterwards, I wrote quite a few stories for Woman’s Era, and other international as well as National anthologies/magazines/journals. After a lot of my stories/poems were already published, I thought of having my own book. My first book was a short story collection for children titled “Five Stories” or पांच कहानियां published in English as well as Hindi. The publisher was good and I was fairly happy, as the book did well. My second illustrated book for children was published by “Room to Read” and its title is चन्दा. The first edition itself had 7500 copies published. My first novel is “Soul Seekers” which did pretty well again. Overall, it has been a very pleasant experience and I am quite satisfied.

3. What motivates you to write?

Writing is my passion. I feel that I have a lot to say and I think that weaving a story around it is the best way to present it. You can say that there is a stream of emotions inside me, waiting to burst out after every few days which drives me to write.

4. You have written around 60 books, among those which one is very special to you?

I have written 57 books till now. Each one of the books is very dear to me, for they are after all my creations. However, at present, my favorite is my short story collection “Lines of Fate – First Love & Other Stories” which is doing very well in the market.

5. What difficulties you had faced for publishing your books?

I didn’t face much difficulties as I hear others facing. Maybe, I had prepared myself well enough to publish my own book after having established myself with so many of my stories/poems already been published in reputed magazines/journals/newspapers and having received quite a few awards before launching my own books. I already had a name.

6.  Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

Oh yes. That’s my specialty. (To be original) I never try to follow anyone. I read all writers, but I write only when I feel that I have something different to say. I am not so much driven by what readers want…and despite writing in a manner which pleases me and on topics that I love, I have good number of followers. My Facebook page has more than 20,000 followers and I am so proud to be associated with them. 

All those who wish to join me in my journey can like/follow my page

7. Whom would you like to give credits of what you are today?

Divine energy and my experiences with life made me what I am today.

8. Please tell me something about your latest book 'Lines of Fate'.

“Lines of Fate” is an interesting collection of sixteen stories, each based in different surroundings and in different tone. It has remained at No 1 in “Hot New Releases” on Amazon since a week ever since it was released and that is what thrills me.
Often a simple encounter on the path of life can change one's entire future. “Lines of Fate” is a collection of such selected, distinctive and unique tales from different walks of life. I have come up with this unique collection of short stories to entertain the readers. When a dice is rolled, one does not know what the outcome will be. Similarly, in an encounter between people, the aftermath is simply indefinite and unidentifiable. Maybe, the lines of fate decide the final outcome. Twists and turns are a part and parcel of each of these stories, written in simple, easy-to-read and lucid language.

9. What are the duties of an Author towards society?

An author is one of the most responsible persons who has tremendous duties towards society. Some of them depict the reality, letting the readers know the bare truth. Some of them write stories which can be termed as tragedies, basically to make the society understand the difficulties. Writers like me are very optimistic and believe that there’s going to be positivism around despite all difficulties.
Whatever way the writer writes in, he is playing his role as a builder of the base of society. Yes, some authors do write cheap things to gain popularity, but I haven’t seen them surviving for long.

10. What message would you like to give to budding writers?

The budding writers have to understand that they have to read a lot to be able to write well. Also, they have to have either a good experience, excellent knowledge on the subject of their choice or a wonderful imagination. They have to write convincingly; their language should be lucid and they have to feel what they write. Lack of any of the three becomes evident in their writings and the reader is sharp enough to find those faults.
