Vitamin H


Ain't you thinking, what could be there in a book entitled 'Vitamin H'?
Well, with the same curiosity in my mind, I ordered this book from Amazon.  

Written by Abhishek Thakkar, Vitamin H is a marvelous collection of quotes and thoughts which are very motivating and refreshing. The book contains more than 100 quotes and each quote gives a strong and deep message. While reading, I was in complete awe as every thought was touching my heart.

The author has beautifully penned down his emotions through these exquisite quotes and thoughts.

What fancied me the most about the book is that all the quotes have been placed tactfully as per the days. It seems like, the author has scripted his speculations in the forms of quotes.

The quote I liked the most was the one written on  DAY 47, " People may have been mean to you, but that's them. Those people have already written their story and it is full of thorns......."
With such significant thoughts, the author has tried to give a positive message to his readers.

The language is very easy to comprehend. No doubt, you'll be able to understand each line and it's meaning clearly.
Also, I liked the cover of the book as it is quite simple yet appealing.

Vitamins are good for physical health as they make our body strong but this Vitamin H is good for anyone's mental health.

I would surely recommend you to buy this book. Just like the medicine, you can take up one thought per day and try to implement the advice or suggestions given through them to stay motivated.

I'll give this book 5/5 stars.

The Man Who Pretends To Be Happy

As I have been reading books on Kindle these days, The Man Who Pretends To Be Happy was showing up in the suggestion box. The title attracted me so much that I started questioning myself as to what kind of a story would be there?
The only way to find the answer was to read it. 
While reading I realized, what a wondrous novel it is by the author Nitin Kalal.

In this book, the author has described the journey of a protagonist, named Vivan, who is a doctor by profession but later becomes a writer by choice.
The author has beautifully portrayed the adventures of Vivan's life, his college days, and especially his relationship with Jagruti, the love of his life.

Sometimes, Just a single wrong decision or a single accident can change our life so much that we become the villain of our own stories. The same happens with the protagonist, of the story, who commits a serious mistake which becomes the biggest crime or I should say, the melancholy of his life.

But, as it is said that moving on is a law of nature, Vivan tries his best in doing so but because of his past experiences and heartbreak, his emotions are dead, and his soul doesn't allow him to move on.  Even after being a doctor, he is not able to cure himself.

The end of the story brings the real climax which almost made me cry.

What I liked the most is that the author has also given a message about the importance of mental health through some of the chapters in the novel.

The intriguing narration and the writing style of the novel was the major reason for turning pages continuously

According to the content, the cover and the title of the book is very suitable.

Overall a perfect blend of love, heartbreak, mental health, and life learning experiences.

Kudos to the author, Mr. Nitin Kalal, for penning down such an amazing novel. I loved reading it.

I would give this book, 5 on 5 stars, and would recommend it to everyone.

This book is available on Amazon in both Paperback and Kindle Edition.
