Series Discussion #1 - Rick and Morty S3 Ep7: The Ricklantis Mixup

Image
Good Day Rick and Morty S3 Ep7: The Ricklantis Mixup No book review this week. I got super lazy this week and read very few pages of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. It is very interesting but somehow I am not able to commit or motivate myself to read. So, here we are with a brand new segment of Series Discussion. This way I can write a blog and mooch on other people's content. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time almost like a year. 🚨!!Spoilers Ahead!!🚨 The Ricklantis Mixup is by far my most favorite Rick and Morty episode. In 22 minutes, they achieved what a 2-hour or 3-hour movie may not do. In my opinion, it is one of the darkest episodes that I have seen and at the same time is very robust in making a political reality that skews towards our present-day society. BTW, Evil Morty is back babyyyy and now he becomes the president of Citadel of Rick which opens up the gates for more awesome episodes in the future. J...

Image
Good Day, Windmills of the gods by Sidney Sheldon Another Day Another Sidney Sheldon Babyyyyy. I am watching a lot of Rick and Morty lately 😂😂. It was not as awesome as other Sidney Sheldon books I have read but the experience was refreshing. Summary: Mary Ashley is a beautiful and intelligent professor teaching at Kansas State, is chosen to become the Ambassador of Romania by the newly elected President of USA Paul Ellison to promote his 'people to people program'. She declines the offer and in some time, her husband dies in a road accident and she agrees for the post and the plot thickens.  Will she able to forget Edward(Husband) and help the President to fulfill his project? Review: The only part of the book which I enjoyed was the ending, it escalated quickly and all the mystery of the book blew up in a couple of pages. I agree that the twist was great but the whole buildup for the moment was boring. Apart from the climax, parts where Mary m...

Book Review #19 - Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Albert Liebermann & Hector Garcia

Image
Good Day, Ikigai by  Albert Liebermann & Hector Garcia I was continuously thinking about Japanese cuisine and their rice fields while reading the book. Either I am already obsessed with that or the book really brings out those thoughts. Read the book to find out if it holds true 😂. Summary: Outline of the book is pretty simple, it begins with giving a brief glimpse of the Japanese lifestyle in Ogimi and then various modern theories are mentioned which would help us to clearly understand their way of life and how it helps them to live longer. What is their Secret? Review: I have really liked the way the authors have tried to explain scientifically the practices which the citizens of Ogimi are following and which helps them to live longer. They have had a first hand experience which has allowed them to have a proper understanding of the situation and in turn, they have written a pretty nice book. While reading the book, it will really make you c...

Book Review #17 - Lock 7 by Dean Serravalle

Image
Good Day, Lock 7 by Dean Serravalle An insightful glance into the life of a gangster having countryside origin. Summary: Leo Meurso, a gangster double-crosses dangerous man that he should have not meddled with in the wrong way. Knowing his death is imminent, he returns to his home town after 20 years to make his peace. In a series of events he meets the town fool, old friends and enemies, crashes the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and much more. What will end first, life or purpose? Review: The best thing about this book, in my opinion, is the metaphor the author has so tastefully used. I have had immense pleasure reading the story of a character who is highly observant about the things around him, yet is totally indifferent to the circumstances he is in. This creates a tension that takes the reader along in search of its resolution. The author is also exceptionally good at introducing new characters organically. At some point, the reader may feel that the si...
