1914: NaMo or MoNa : Why is 2019 not 2014?

 This is an interesting reading!






My review


The book was intersting for me because I hardly know nothing about 
the politics of India's past, present and future.

As India will become (or is) an economical power to count with it's a 
must read for every one who wants to know more about this wonderful
country.

The author did his research very well, although it sometimes became a 
bit dry but writing about politics never is easy and perhaps it was a bit 
from a one side view. 

Thus I recommend this book to people who are interested in history
and the political situation of India.

I give a five star rating for this interesting -  and for me unknown 
matter- story. 



The author


His parents thought he was studying business administration in the USA.
He was actually studying journalism.

When he was a consultant for the Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital in Pune,
he told Rajshree Birla and Kumar Mangalam Birla their offices would
be in the Basement of the Hospital.

As an entrepreneur, Amit has been India’s No.1 Healthcare Consultant,
India’s No.1 Retail Consultant, and India’s No.1 Residential Real Estate
Consultant, apart from excelling in several other sectors.

As a Retail Consultant, he wrote prolifically for various retail publications.
For one article, he interviewed several industry leaders, including Kishore
Biyani, considered the father of modern retail in India. Little did poor
Mr. Biyani know that Amit would lambast him in the article. The next time
they ran into each other, Mr. Biyani told Amit that - being a fellow Marwari
- he should have been less critical of him.

Bookreview: Why They Stay

Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of
Eight Political Wives


"You can't put this book away."


Summary

Why do good women stay with bad men?
What if political wives are just as calculating as their infamous husbands?

If Hilary Clinton had left her marriage, she might only be known as
the spurned wife of a retired politician. Instead, she became the first
woman to run for U.S. president on a major party ticket.

Why They Stay reveals the inner lives of eight political wives as they
fight to maintain a grip on power and pursue personal ambition:





My Review

I would like to start with a "warning" for this book. It's a very dangerous
one, because you can't put it away when you start reading.

The topics were interesting and the author has a fluent writing style which
I liked a lot.

I would recommend Why They Stay to all people who want to like to know
more about some first ladies of the United States and ladies who are married
to leading men in the showbizz and media. It really is a wonderful book.

I give without any doubts a 5 star rating. 



The author


Anne Michaud is an author of many talents, especially getting distracted by
depressing music and dark things. She likes to write and read everyday, and
speak of herself in the third person.

Since her Master’s degree in Screenwriting from the University of London,
England, Anne has written, directed and produced three short films, distributed
internationally after being shown on a selective festival circuit.

And then, after hundreds of hours spent on studying and making films, she
changed her mind and started writing short stories, novelettes and novels.
Some have been published, others will be soon enough.



Booktasters

Green is good is a small book, but with a lots of interesting information.
It was clear that the author knew his stuff perfectly!

due to the suggestions of the author. It also has a beautiful book cover!
