–Read India Initiative—

This is only an attempt to create interest in reading. We may not get the time to read all the books in our lifetime. But such reviews, talk and synopsis will at least convey what the book is all about.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING …Change your attitude … change your life

By Jeff Keller

First published in 2015 and in India in 2017

by: Harper Collins Publishers India

Short book of 128 pages

Price Rs 199

    Jeff Keller is the founder President of, ‘Attitude is everything, Inc.,’ that happens to be his organisation. For more than 20 years he has delivered presentations on attitude and motivation through this organisation. He is also the author of the book, ‘Here’s to your success’ which contains 62 of his most popular essays. Jeff is a native New Yorker and has the accent to prove it.

    The subject book is inundated with lovely quotes of many renowned personalities and that itself gives a great fillip to the book because of which it impacts the readers. Jeff is a lawyer by qualification. But he hates his profession and thinks it is not his cup of tea. So one day he decides to move out of this profession. Where, his wife Dolores supports him changing his career line. He then transforms from a lawyer to a motivational speaker. But before taking a stand in life he doesn’t forget to change his attitude.

   He dwells on the concept of THINK—SPEAK—ACT. The book is a deluge of inspiring sentences and I’m sure it must have taken a great amount of effort for the author to pull out these quotes and proverbs from the lit-treasure. He convinces … Ones attitude is ones window to the world. And he goes on to define attitude quite comprehensively. He defines attitude as the secret power working 24×7. The author gives a sound correlation between attitude and success. If your attitude is positive you’re only bound to succeed he says. Thinking is another parameter important to achieve your dreams in life he feels—we become what we think about.

    Then he even talks about attitude versus action. Another very striking point that he makes in his narration is about circumstances … your circumstances reflect what you’ve been thinking about.

    While talking about success he advises not to count on overnight success but work hard for it. And also be so certain about it so that you can have an optic hallucination about it beforehand. So picture it for yourself.

    In whatever you do, first commit to yourself, and you will surely move mountains. Even when you’re working for a company or doing a job, commit first to yourself that you can deliver. It further narrates about converting your problems into milestone opportunities.

    Another important point that he makes is when he cautions you on the words you utter. Watch your words he says—repeat anything often enough and it will start becoming you—when he quotes author TOM HOPKINS. Which is quite similar to the Hindi word THATHASTU (as you wish) that God might use to bless his bhakts. Remember, your words have the potential to blaze a trail (find a new path). When we keep repeating certain phrases over and over again, it as if forms a groove in our mind.

    The author lays a lot of importance on the negative & positive responses from the people when you wish them. For example when someone asks you, ‘how are you’ and the way you answer is very important in determining how you’re going to be.

    We should also stop being on a complaining mode as it brings down your wherewithal to respond to situations. And we should always associate with positive colleagues, friends and even relatives and should move away from naysayers or cynics.

    Then he makes some other important points such as confronting your fears. If you don’t confront your fears the fear will only grow on you. Talks about networking which is extremely important in today’s day and age and also advices you to be a good listener.

    Overall it’s an interesting book. With a lot of highlights you might already be aware of but then it’s been packaged quite well in appropriate sequence that impacts one’s mind. Written in lucid language easy to understand. Where each page is formatted quite well and looks very attractive—good job by the publisher.

    If nothing else this motivational book could even be picked up for the fascinating quotes and proverbs of various renowned personalities.

    Although it is a good read for all age groups I would definitely recommend it more for the working age group.

    I would give the book seven out of ten.

–Read India Initiative—

This is only an attempt to create interest in reading. We may not get the time to read all the books in our lifetime. But such reviews, talk and synopsis will at least convey what the book is all about.

    Book review found in one of the blogs published in the year 2013.

    Publication is by: Pigeon Books India/ in 2012

    Pages 276

    Price 160. Available in mostly all the online stores as of now

    It is story of a single woman. The scene of enactment is Delhi. As we all know in this devious world, women who are single, face a lot of problems. The problems could be social, professional and even sexual. The world in many ways takes them for granted. So within this framework this particular novel was written. the review starts with a few quotes out of the book as follows:

    “The canvas of human life had many hues but none sweeter than love. But it was also the most ephemeral. Where, material world ruled the roost. Qualifications, jobs, career, consumerism were the primary colours people chased and mighty materialism thereafter … to run after, all their lives.”

    If one had to read the book, ‘One to Tango’ without knowing about the author’s gender, one would confidently say that the book was written by a woman. Such is the intensity and detail with which the novel is written. But, Kamlesh Tripathi is a man and, for a man to write a book like a woman about a woman protagonist ‘Ria’—clearly its hats off to him!

    I say this because the novel reads almost like a journal with a women’s innermost emotions spread across the pages of the book. Many women who have seemingly crossed the age of marriage according to the superficial rules of the society might identify with this book. The review sheet further quotes from the book

    “She was once stunned at a feeler from one of her seniors that she ought to be available for a quickie as she too needs to satisfy her physical lust … a kind of open license … a never ending fright.

    Some of her married male cousins and friends had the birth right to hug and feel her body curves … if lecherous eyes could make love, she would have been mother of many bastards by now.”

    Ria is a single woman with a desire to get married like many bright intelligent working woman but, destiny has other plans for her. Suitors come and go, boyfriends woo and then leave only giving her pain and hurt. Ria thinks she is a jinx until that somebody special enters her life. But, is he the man of her dreams? His destiny has already been worked out for bigger things than just plain love, lust and relationship. So, where does that leave Ria? Does she finally get what she so badly wants and so very much deserves?

    Kamlesh’s narrative style keeps the flow of the plot moving even when Ria’s life stagnates. One wonders while reading the book—what more can the author offer? Is that it? And quite unlike other novels, the ending is unexpected, non-stereotype. That’s what makes the book stand out apart from the fact that the novel also single handedly concentrates on the theme of single women” and their personal pain. But, of course, the perspective differs from woman to woman.

Classified as a good read

    The book is available in Amazon, Flipkart and with Pigeon Books India. Basis the review I of course would ask you to read it. It is also archived in a GOI library in Delhi and a prestigious library of Chennai.

LONELINESS–I’M IN ELECTRONIC COMPANY

    My home is like a neat diagram of wilderness now. Things are only quiet here. Life’s hullabaloo is over. There aren’t any vital unanswered questions left in my life to be unraveled any more … barring the ultimate one—death. But surprisingly, I have been handed out, some stiff situations in life that I never asked for in the first place, and that of course includes, certain wayward realities … the most striking one being, loneliness. After deep introspection, it appears to me like those divine semaphores. There is a world of emptiness around me.  It’s taken me more than sixty years to reach this stage. But I didn’t have to struggle for it, the way I struggled for my career and the upbringing of my family. It came on its own, uninvited. I stay in a megapolis—infested largely by a swarm of people occupying those tall blaring buildings all around me. Yet I’m all alone. And what an irony. For in a jungle, I would have been with, unknown but ferocious animals. But in the megapolis I’m with familiar yet unpredictable human beings. Nonetheless, I really can’t decipher which is more dangerous.

    I have a time deprived family. They keep extremely busy. Mostly fire-fighting. So one day I approached God. Thinking he’ll give me company. But then he too has to run the universe, and so, he is very busy in his own world and doesn’t have time for me. Finally, I’ve learnt to live life king size, alone. So I keep busy one way or another. They say life has become easy, yet mind is never at rest. There is always something spooky about life that keeps hovering around me.

    No one comes to my house, and when I attempt to visit someone I’m told they are going out. The timidity to interface … thus continues. I’m told this happens with most of us but we rarely speak about it.

    But, ever since, flesh and blood averted me. My electronic friends have come to my rescue. I have them in droves, steadying my life. I start my day with them. In the night they take that extra pain to put me off to sleep. The smart phones and TV sets bring, so many of my electronic friends to my home each day.

    I now have electronic friends in the likes of Mr Bachchan visiting me all day long showing little gimmicks loaded with huge parables. Where, Arnab Goswami tells me all about the world. Even, Prime Minister Narendra Modi walks into my house in his own electronic attire to tell me how he is serving India and even Rahul Gandhi and Donald Trump are not far away. To top it all, entire Youtube, Bollywood and even Hollywood is at my command.

    Loneliness is the biggest scourge of the present day world. Yet life finds solutions for each catastrophe. Just as you can’t think of a life without flesh and blood, you can’t think of a life without your own electronic friends anymore. Can you?

    This is to cajole all those who suffer because of loneliness. Rise up … get up … do something to kill it.
