The Millionaire Next Door: The Surprising Secrets of America's Wealthy

They live well below their means

This single line could summarise the entire book and the lifestyle of the majority of American millionaires.

This book has been an international bestseller for the reason that it breaks several stereotypes about the millionaires which are generally propagated by the media. The message, generally shown by them is about the lavish lifestyle they live, be it their luxury automobile or their mansions, so on. The authors armed with the data which was collected for research in the profiles of American Millionaires prove that these millionaires constitute a small portion of the millionaires. Most of the millionaires actually live in the normal middle-class neighborhood and drive in average automobiles.


The book explains very well the difference between wealth and having a high income. The authors mention what actually motivates most of the American Millionaires which is Financial Freedom. The millionaire told them that the journey to wealth is much more satisfying than the destination. When they look back over their history of building wealth, they recall constantly setting economic goals and the great happiness gained from achieving them.

The book is a read for all and by that, I mean everyone should read it as it helps clear a lot of misunderstandings the people have about Millionaires. And only shows the way proven way to be a millionaire and that is live below your means.

SAVARKAR: The true story of the father of Hindutva

The true story of the father of Hindutva. Having been raised in a maharashtrian family you grow listening to the heroics of Veer Savarkar, this combined with some little text and media surrounding the freedom fighter at later stages always piqued my interest in the subject. After watching a movie on the subject I decided to read about the man the legend and also someone who is equally loved and equally dismissed by his supporter and opponents alike. On the very onset I must admit that finding a book on Veer Savarkar which is based on facts and no bias for or against him was difficult and this book just did that. The book brings to light so many facets of his life that are either unknown or known by very few like his ask to include the Ashoka Chakra on the Indian flag instead of the Charkha or the spinning wheel, which came as a complete surprise to me. Also Savarkar the poet which is something not usually talked about and is not known by many like his poem "Sagara Pran Talmalala ....

The Kaoboys of R&AW: Down Memory Lane

Research & Analysis Wing (India's External Intelligence Agency) A rare and first-hand view into the workings of the most secretive government agency Research & Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency.  The book written by a retired R&AW officer B Raman who spent more than 3 decades working for the agency right from its inception in 1968, provides a detailed insight into the workings of R&AW and its work and relations with the Intelligence Bureau, Ministry of External Affairs and other foreign intelligence agencies. The book derives its name from its first chief R.N. Kao and the officers under him who were the cause of its success and came to be known as "Kao boys of R&AW". The book is in chronological order of the author's service in R&AW and the most outstanding thing about the book is how objectively it is written and by that, I mean the author has rightly praised but has also criticised various people right from the chief ...

BALIDAN: Stories of India’s greatest para special operations

Men apart every man an emperor. Perhaps this single line by field marshal Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery best describes the special forces, which are the most elite and best soldiers of the Indian Army. These men undergo the harshest training there is in the world for soldiering. Having read the fantastic book “The force behind the forces” I was looking forward to reading this book by the author. I would be losing if I were to say that the book lives upto the expectations.  The book narrates the stories of the brave  Indian special forces operatives. Some of the heroes from these stories are well known in the popular media (YouTube, Instagram ) like Brigadier Saurabh Singh Shekhawat while the others live a quiet life away from all the limelight. The stories in themselves are thrilling and make you go in awe about these men in maroon. However the way the book is written, seems to have been rushed through and is not refined. So my recommendation would be to read t...
