Faceless (Book Review)

“Reality of being superhero is far more dangerous, than how it actually appears” 

Nizam Ahmed, a 32 year old, Microsoft employee who currently resides in Hyderabad with his family, is a debutante Author of Faceless. The idea that he has brought up was very tricky to execute but the way he has handled the overall journey is noteworthy.

Faceless has its own pros and cons in it, but this may be purely subjected to personal opinion which may vary from person to person. Some may find this close to heart, Romantic or even a potential “100 crore movie” story while some may find it utterly boring. Since the audience and readers over here in India has been nourished with fast passed over the top fictional material, the realistic writing may be a bit un tolerable. But this is itself is also a form of writing that the readers has to come across and appreciate. Faceless tries to keep balance between the real life in depth narrative as well as the fast passed Action pack thriller indigents.  

Faceless is the story of an IT geek who discovers some extra-ordinary powers within him. Kabir, a normal guy working in Techsys, is in love with his colleague Nat but unable to propose, fed up of his over loaded job thanks to his manager and to add is his friend Rick whose suggestions are making his love life more miserable. But when one fine day he notices the super powers his life changes drastically and what adventures crosses his way is the rest of story.

The light moments between Nat and Kabir are cute, while the Rick angle brings humor to the story. The first half is quiet fast paced or to say quiet positive in itself which moves the story faster but in later half something holds up the story. But everything is again matched up with the climax which is wonderful and quiet thrilling too. Over all the book is for patient readers who passes through the serious and narrative phase to enjoy the climax to its best. The impatient ones might quit in halfway, who will definitely miss a lot with references to the upcoming parts if there is any. Over all I’ll give it three stars out of five and will be adding to it to my personal favorites.

To B.E or not to B.E (Book Review)

"Life of an Engineer is full of tragedies that can never be understood by a normal mortal"

Dipen Ambala, an Electrical Engineer from VJTI, has worked in IT industry for 8 long years, who now is a full time writer. With his two previous releases "In their Shoes.." and "LOSER" which is a national best seller, He has gained his position among the league of new generation Indian authors.

"To B.E or not to B.E" is another satire from the author which targets the life of an engineering student. From the discovery of the Mother of Engineering to the “Every Engineer is a Dog” theory and from the love story behind the invention of the word “Hostel” to the criminal nexus behind college assignments, this book is really a nostalgic roller coaster ride. The author has very smartly written this book in a way that makes it appealing to the engineers who are and for the students who will someday (hopefully!!!) become one. 

For readers who have completed the journey across the vast and deadly ocean of engineering, it serves as a beautiful reminder of the kids once they were. How they innocently assumed, life would be set right after 4 years of torture and how whole world was limited to completing assignments and getting updates on whose dating who.

On the other hand, for the readers who used to envy the life of an engineering student, this is an appropriate insight of what actually happens (which usually ends up "Nothing new") in this most attractive and infatuated profession of the day. And especially because of writer's brilliant narration of each and every topic along with a story that shows the beginning of the issue in first place is quite interesting as well as funny at the same time.

I will give three and a half stars out of five to the book and will recommend to the readers who like witty funny yet intelligent stuff to read. The book is surely a good guide for the kids who are planning to enter into the ocean of engineering academic.

Thinking made easy (Book review)

"Human brain is a complex structure. The better understanding of it can open in-numerous possibilities"

Author Mr. P R N Mohan, an ex-service man by profession, is a post graduate in defense studies and management science. "Thinking Made easy" is an attempt by him to explore the technical aspects of human brain construct. The book scientifically reiterates the traditional wisdom of non-formal education, apart from academics which inculcates a rational thought process in every human being. The author has tried to convey his thoughts about the urge of new generation to overcome lassitude, procrastination and lethargy. Special credits goes to the appropriate selection of quotes/excerpts in every chapter, to substantiate the subject.

After reading the book, has changed my thought process and have given me a glimpse of what actually happens inside while a decision making situation arrives in the real world. I specially recommend the book to the youngsters who are ready to enter into the corporate world as a quick guide of "What to do?" while handling the enormous responsibility. Though the books demands certain knowledge of medical terminologies, a quick Google about the subject will act as an add on to the knowledge base. I'll give the book three stars out of five, which doesn't count the priceless wisdom I've gained throughout the reading journey.
