Book Review : Fluid

Book Review : Fluid

Be more, be fluid.

Title - Fluid
Author - Ashish Jaiswal
Publisher - Wisdom Tree
Genre - Self help/non-fiction
Pages - 234
Format - Paperback

Fluid is a non-fiction book with a theme of education system in India. Our education system doesn't have any space for the people who want to go with a change. Grab this eye opener book and flow like a fluid.

Blurb -
Whether we are in a classroom or in the outside world, we are always forced to choose who we are. Always expected to walk towards a fixed goal. Never be uncertain, never fail or never alter our course. We are either artists or scientists or businessmen. We are being constantly reminded to embrace these identities with greater force. As they say, the more we remain folded in our fields, the better specialists we are.
Fluid shatters this myth by arguing that great minds who have changed the fate of humankind are actually the ones who failed, faltered or remained uncertain, yet never bothered to stay pasted to a rigid line. They were more. They were fluid.
In captivating storytelling narrative, Ashish Jaiswal takes us through groundbreaking research unravelling what binds the likes of Leonardo da Vinci, CV Raman, Steve Jobs, Charles Darwin and other geniuses and why being fluid like them could be our biggest winning strategy in the age of artificial intelligence.
Read to learn the approach required for world-class innovations, groundbreaking solutions and game-changing ideas.

Review -
1) The cover of the book is pretty good and the title of the book is unique and appreciate.
2) The plot of this book is strong and according to present day situations.
3) The book is divided into five sections as anti fluid,the danger of entering machine age etc. The last section is the bigger one with fluid questions.
4) The author has given several examples of famous personalities like Charles Darwin, CV Raman, Steve Jobs etc to put forward his views.
5) I liked the motto of the book 'be more than what you taught to be'. Hats off to the author for his research work.
6) The book highlights on the present Indian education system and helps to change the thinking of our community.
7) According to the author 'great minds who have changed the fate of human kind are actually ones who failed,faltered and remained uncertained'.
8) The examples and illustrations given in the book are readers friendly.
9) The language used in this book is simple and easily understandable.
10) The flow of the book is medium paced.
11)Read this book slowly to totally digest and for better understanding.
12) Overall, an enlightening read.

Rating - 5/5

I highly recommend this book to all young ones, teachers and parents.

About the author -
Ashish Jaiswal thinks that most of our current practices of education are dangerously outdated and we need to bring a paradigm shift in the way we are preparing ourselves for the coming future. Ashish has spoken and taught all around the world on the shift that is needed. His previous book, How to Reform a Business School, includes an on-campus multi-year case study of how Yale transformed its business school. Ashish’s debut work, True Dummy, an inspirational magical realist fable, has received worldwide praise from many including international media, celebrities and Nobel Prize winners.
Ashish has a PhD in Education and a Master’s in Higher Education from the University of Oxford and is currently an associate fellow at the Oxford Centre of Higher Education Policy Studies.

Author Interview : Khemkarann

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of 'THE PATOMSKIY CRATER'

Let's start!

1) Can you tell me a little bit about yourself? 
This one is a really loaded question, I can go on and on about it. To be as concise as I can be, I grew up in the suburbs of Mumbai, India, and moved to the UK for the past 16 years, I presently live with my wife in the UK and work in Management for a top Investment Bank. I love to read and write in any spare time I  can find, mostly using the long train commute to work, and weekend coffee shop breaks.


2) Did you always want to become a writer? 
I was a confused teenager, and I wanted to become many things that changed almost every month, but being a writer was not one of them. It was much later in life that my love for books grew exponentially.

3) When did you start writing? 
It's only later in life that I picked up reading big time, and every time I read a story I wanted to tell it differently.  So much so, that I decided I needed to tell a story my way and started to pen it.

4) What is 'The Patomskiy Crater 'about? 
The blurb of the book is elaborate but in summary, It's about young adventurers going to a remote part of Siberia on an adventure trip, only to find themselves in serious trouble. Some are mysteriously found dead, and two are on the run trying to escape from someone or something. Will they survive? Who is following them and why?

5) What motivated you to write this book? 
I had a story brewing in my head for a long time, and I liked investigating mysterious places that modern science is yet to explain. Found Patomskiy Crater being one of them, and it was a matter of time that I combined my story with the crater.

6) Describe 'The Patomskiy Crater ' in one line. 
An intricate, scary and ruthlessly suspenseful mystery that will thrill no end.

7) What's the best experience you've gained through writing? 
Writing itself is the best experience of my life, one can create a world for oneself and dwell in it for a long time

8) Who is your favorite Indian and foreign author? 
Amish Tripathy and Dan Brown

9) What are your future plans?
Continue writing, several stories on my mind that I want to pen down.

Author Interview : Sarang Padhye

Author Interview : Sarang Padhye

Hello everyone,
Today I am going to introduce you to the author of ' Screenwriting For TV Commercials'

Let's start!

1)First of all introduce yourself to the readers.
I’m an Electronics & Telecommunication Engineer. Being extremely fond of movies
since childhood, I started reading screenplays in college. Analyzing famous movies and TV
commercials became a regular thing for me. In my spare time, I started writing TV
advertisements on whichever topic I found interesting. Having written over 40
commercials so far, I thought about publishing my own guide on writing only for commercials. This book is the only guide out there which covers everything about writing advertisements.
I’m a digital marketer. Apart from my day job, he loves cooking, reading novels, chit
chat on movies and theatre.
You can contact me at sarangpadhye@gmail.com for any queries or just email me for a
chat.
Instagram : ebookmarketer
Twitter: Sarang_writes

2) Tell me something about your e-book  'Screenwriting for TV Commercials'
This is the most simplest guide out there. Even a kid (with a little imagination) can write a commercial after reading this. We see TV Commercials every day and skip them. But there are so many we still remember. Everyone has a favourite. How does this all work and where does the process start? It’s all in the ebook along with format and famous =books on screenwriting.

3)What inspired you to write on this Topic?
Watching commercials on TV I always felt I can write this better or this scene could have been different. Being an avid reader I searched books on screenwriting for Ads, as it is totally different from writing scripts for movies. I couldn’t find any so I gathered info about the format and style after researching Google and blogs, started writing on any random product that we usually see on TV. I have written over 40 commercials so far in the last couple of years. Then, I thought I should write a guide about this as such a guide is not available anywhere. So I worked on it for 4 months and published it on Kindle.

4)Describe Screenwriting for TV Commercials in one line
An interesting peek into the world of writing Video Advertisements

5)As a child what did you want to do when you grew up?
I wanted to be a film maker. I love Films, Ads and the process that goes into making them right from an idea.

6)Which is your favourite TV commercial and Why?
There are so many. I would name the Fevicol commercial series in the late 90’s in India as my top favourites. They delivered a perfect message with so little effort on dialogs
Another one of my favourites is the Chevy’s Car commercial by Michael Bay in 1995-96. It has terrific music and camera work. Very difficult to write in that way.

7)Are you planning any other books?
I’m not planning any other books as of now. But I’m thinking of writing a novel in the next 2 years.

8)What advice do you have for your readers?
I have never thought what others would feel if I failed in something. Confidence, patience & learning with a open mind can get you anywhere in life. If you are wish to write something, just take a pen & paper and jot it down. Slowly, you’ll get the confidence to write a book. The first few steps are always hard. Take the leap.

Thanks for reading.
