On the Open Road: Three Lives. Five Cities. One Startup by Stuti Changle

Genre: Contemporary, Fiction, Self-help

Pages: 188

Publisher: Invincible Publishers

Language: English

Before starting this review, I would like to thank the author Stuti Changle for this review copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

"Entrepreneurship is not a profession. It's an attitude!
You may never start up a company, but never let the entrepreneur in you die."

The book revolves around the story of 3 people and how they pursue their dream of a startup irrespective of the hardships they encounter on the way.


The book is divided into multiple chapters, and every chapter is alternatively written with the perspective of the two main characters- Myra and Kabir. Apart from Kabir and Myra, there are other characters in the story as well, and it is essential to pay attention to every character as they are very different from one another. Myra wants to break free from the routine life that brings her no joy, Kabir is constantly debating his plan of breaking free of his father's and uncle's heritage, Sandy is a college dropout who loves apps and start-ups, and Ramy is the one on the open road, he motivates travelers from his blog. The book is about these millennials unfolding life page by page and fighting their battles with society, taboos, depression, and life to start their start-up.

What I liked about the book?

The book is based on the modern world and helps you relate to it. Everything the characters go through is relatable and acceptable. You observe the characters' development over the course of the book. You feel the helplessness they feel, you empathize with them, you want to know more as you turn pages. 

What I did not like about the book?

The thing I did not like about the book is that it ended! I was enjoying the journey. Apart from that, I needed some answers that I did not actually get but these questions could be overlooked. 

Conclusion

The book is a great read. If you are at a bookstore with this book on the shelves, you can surely pick it up. If you are in your 20s and have a dream of building a start-up or just have dreams, then you are going to enjoy this book for sure!

Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe  by  Roger McNamee Genre : Fiction Pages : 352 Publisher:  HarperCollins Language : English It's quite unsettling to realise the fact that how easily our mind is influenced. It takes inputs from the left and the right and from the social media we keep sliding and swiping on. It is more frightening when we look at it in a broader spectrum.  Social media is more than just memes or sharing dog and cat videos it's deep and at times dark if not in the right hands.  Zucked gives amazing insight on this growing issue that is openly prevailing in what we call our "social media presence". How much is too much?  My Review Zucked as the name suggests goes in depth about how Facebook became a part of all of the chaos. Zucked highly talks about the bad actors who take over the Facebook platform to push negative agendas. Though Zucked seems to give undivided attention to Facebook being a central be...
