Reading is just not a hobby, it is my gateway to the world. I enjoy reading books on history, politics, biographies and personality building.

A brilliant account of the ailments of the Pakistani society. Self-defined victim hood of it‘s people, brinksmanship of military dictators, corrupt & self-indulging political class. These are the some of the ways in which the author explains the Pakistani society. A dangerous country that is still try to detach itself from its umbilical cord and recreate its identity in alignment with the Muslim Middle East.

This is a good book to read for people interested in knowing the tragedy that unfolded in Punjab during the 80s. It was not simply a law & order issue. From RAW‘s spy‘s eye and the author, it was a political game plan and oneupmanship that went horribly wrong culminating in death of thousands. A good book for political historians and people sharing similar tastes like me.

Reed Hastings brought in a culture of high performance and great candor at NetFlix. This book details the journey across two decades of building NetFlix as a global multinational by creating its own unique culture. Authors detail out the key organisational behaviours that made NetFlix a high throughput organisation. Well written with three perspectives presented throughout the book, Reed‘s, outsider perspective by Erin and of employees.

This book is more of a personal account of author‘s own experiences in Darjeeling. Starting with his days of stay as a young academician, the author tracks the history of Darjeeling across the tumultuous days of political strife and the fight of Gorkhas for recognition of their existence as a separate identity than the majority Bengalis of West Bengal.

A well-written book, that provides an exhaustive and yet a very cohesive account of all expeditions that were done to trace the source of Brahmaputra. Each separate threads of stories, well-connected to create an intriguing account of history in a manner that will keep you engaged till the final pages. Starting with Pundit Kinthup and Sarat Chandra Das in 1880 to Lt Col. FM Bailey in 1920s and finally to his own trek tracing Bailey 90 years later.

A well wrote, an impartial and thorough analysis of Tibet and its relationship with China. The writer has scavenged through volumes of documents and literature to provide a trustable account of the facts about Tibet. In spite of the risk of making the book monologue, he has kept his writing interesting. It is worth a read for people who want to read authentic facts in an interesting manner.
