Book review: the reluctant fundamentalist

It was just an okay read. I’m gonna rate it 1 star out of 5. The protagonist is too invested in himself. The closest main character after Riz is equally going through feelings of her own which do not make sense to the reader until the very end. The writer should have cared to give away more (info) to the reader. Mostly it sounds like the ramblings of a common person, who happens to know how to…

Creaky

We don’t realize but all relationships are creaky one way or another; long journey of -ship steer it into windstorms once in a while. Neither it’s the certainty towards the end. A lot of times though it’s a test of time for architects. Being afraid of the creaky corners might not help. Its a different story from structure to structure. Some pass the whirlwinds, others do not…

Food Review: Del Frio

Let me accept: every branch of this restaurant has its unique kind of appeal making it different from others even after operating under the same umbrella. I have an old link with this cafe. It mostly becomes my go-to eatery whenever it is located near my workplace or residence. The food, fun, and finesse are unmatchable. It began with the hunt to…

Book Review: The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Book Review: The Tattooist of Auschwitz

The title: Let’s give credit to the intriguing title and selling copies and fooling readers into thinking this is a good read. The four-word title is amazing with the inclusion of two strong keywords. Auschwitz and tattooist. As Auschwitz is a compelling term for readers who read war stories. Hence, the act of tattooing was major and one of the cruelest actions in the concentration…
