Who Should Read?

Anyone who is looking for a perfect Romantic novel with Happy ending then this novel to go for. Overall it's a great romantic read. This book wouldn't disappoint you.

Review:

The story revolves around Akash and Kasam. Akash is one of those guys who are mad about her, he finds her out of her league. It is not just a story, it's a journey of love that takes 10 years to complete.
Akash always feels that Kasam would never accept him as her beau. During her friendship, they got to know each other very closely. Akash notices almost everything about Kasam. Each scene comes alive with every word, Kasam's habit of chewing the thermocol cup while drinking coffee, her colourful bangles and she takes towards life, changes that come to her with life with time and everything that is hidden behind the colourful, attractive and most wanted girl in the campus.
In few more glimpses I saw her lemon coloured kurti and purple embroidered jhola. I was nearing her. My speed continued to increase. I saw her hand, her sparkling multi-coloured bangles, a red coloured thumb ring, a sea-green ring rig on her little finger, when she tried to stop a man who was about to crash into her.

This was just an instance of perfect character definition the author builds up in the whole story.
Kasam is shown donning the hat of a motivational speaker and runs an institute 'Prayas' as Akash says ' she was doing what she was best at'. It ain't easy to be a motivational speaker and portraying one's character like this requires a thumbs up to the author. Kasam left Akash for someone else and they meet again after a few years when she came back and finally a happy ending.

About The Book: The turn of the 21st century has brought serious meltdowns in various economies across the globe. Mass layoffs, stock market decline, and top businesses filing for bankruptcy are all over the news. People began to think that financial freedom was a myth. How can they possibly experience financial stability when the economy itself is in turmoil? The business of the 21st century by Robert Kiyosaki aims to break this idea. It explains why this seemingly bad news is, in actuality, really good news. The book harps on the belief that each person should be responsible for his own finances. He should not depend on what is happening to the economy, because of wealth-building has nothing to do with it. The book discusses the effective business model which is compatible for those who are courageous enough to go into business. Who should read "The Business of the 21st Century"? If you are an employee with dreams of climbing the corporate ladder or a self-employe...
