The Importance of Reading

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:45:49 -0600

The Importance of Reading is difficult to express in words but can experienced by people from all walks of life. With the advent of modern technology, the Ipod and the X-box have probably overtaken the humble Hardy Boys or Tom Sawyer in managing to catch the attention of the young kids. Parents and others would however do well to inculcate the habit of reading in children from a very young age and that will prove to be in good stead for the years to come. Although one can take to reading at any age, I have seen that it is much easier to begin at a young age and develop a love and passion for reading rather than forcing oneself to indulge in this at a later age in life. Reading has a host of benefits - tangible and intangible and should infact become a habit as common as bathing or eating. I have been an avid reader since my childhood (and I can't seem to thank my parents enough for this gift) and to this date my house and work desk have been overflowing with books as I constantly move from one book to another enjoying the pearls of wisdom or the fantasies that come along with them.

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:51:34 -0600

The original complete collection of Sherlock Holmes is comprised of four novels and 56 short stories penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In my view, Sherlock Holmes was the best detective that ever existed in contemporary literature. As a kid, I was totally smitten by his wily ways and his outrageously wild but accurate deductions. Sherlock Holmes has been my saviour and refuge on several occasions in my life when I needed to perk up. All I needed was to pick up my compendium of his collection of short stories and I was immediately transported to 19th Century England. Even today, just the thought of Sherlock Holmes brings to mind vivid memories of the English Countryside, the bliss and the excitement. I've also had the occasion to see some of televised episodes and Jeremy Brett's rendition of Sherlock Holmes was exhilarating. For all you Sherlock Holmes Fans, I have listed together the complete collection of his novels and short stories. Get your collection today or gift it to a loved one. This is definitely one collection to cherish and handover from one generation to the other.

The Greatness Guide 2

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:55:52 -0600

If the Greatness Guide 1 was good, the book 2 was even better. The best thing about this book is the manner in which the message of this book is presented to the readers. 101 chapters, each chapter giving you one simple message, one simple idea that you can use to get to the next level of greatness. The Greatness Guide 2 is a book that you finish in a day or two, but you may take a year or more to truly imbibe its message. One of the ways, that I prefer to use this book is to read 2-3 chapters a day and try to live out that message during the day. It's easier said than done - but reading those 2-3 chapters gives you that focus and you clearly know what are things that you plan to achieve for that day. You may not get through all the lessons in the book but I promise that you will be a much better person if you even manage to implement 10% of what Robin Sharma shares in the Great book. Again, what is perhaps the differentiating factor about this book is that it is not preachy- but extremely practical. It is about living our daily lives the way we want but with a deep understanding of what our true priorities in life should be. In fact the book starts with the best message. "Be the Best You" You are unique - No one can be like you, except yourself. Your goal in life to become the best possible you. You Can't be anyone else. You will only learn and grow and improve and become the best you. The only person you should compare yourself is the past you that you have left behind. If you are better today than you were yesterday -Excellent - you've learnt one of the finest lessons of life. Just pick up this book. Go through each chapter. Take a day to reflect on it. Write down an action plan on how to live that message. Implement those plans. See how you feel when you look at yourself in the mirror next day. The Greatness Guide 2 is packed with solid, proven and practical insights that will take you to the next level of greatness. If you looking for answers to give a dramatic turn to your life, you would do well to pick up this book.

Lensography of a Laddoo

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:59:05 -0600

Laddoo is a traditional Indian sweet shaped like those beautiful round golf balls that you can see on the picture below. It is also one of my favourite sweets. Laddoo was my pet name and most of my family members, relatives and friends called me Laddoo, so the name has stuck. This lens is dedicated to everything and everyone associated with Laddoo's life and is going to be narrated in third person. Laddoo started his journey on Squidoo in 2007, however he became a serious lensmaster only towards the middle of 2008. Laddoo was a very good student and has quite a few degrees to his credit. By profession, Laddoo is a US tax specialist and works with a Global Accounting firm in Mumbai, India. Laddoo loves food and has visited over 200 restaurants covering almost every nook and corner of Mumbai. No wonder there are quite a few recipe lenses here. Laddoo is equally passionate about books and movies which will soon also show up in his lensmaking. Take a trip down this path with Laddoo and share his joys and experiences

The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:02:05 -0600

John Izzo gives a very brilliant analogy in the prologue of this book. Whenever one is choosing a hotel in a travel destination, one checks out the Internet and reads the reviews of people who have already been there and in this manner, you can separate the wheat from the chaff. You can identify some of the best deals based on the experiences of other people. So why can't we do the same with our lives. If we looked at our elders, the "wise elders" as they are referred to in this book, ones who have lived rich and fulfilling lives... What can we learn from their experience? What are the things we need to avoid? What are the risks we need to take? The earlier in life we find the answers to these questions, the more fulfilling the rest of our lives will be. This book is a summary of the interviews of over 200 "wise elders". The author initially invited recommendations from over 15000 people across US and Canada and received about 1000 nominations, from which 235 were shortlisted. These wise elders were between the ages of 59-105 and came from diverse backgrounds. I am not going to reveal the five secrets here as it might kill the joy of discovering them on your own when you pick up this book.
