Image
  General overview: Rating: 5/5😍 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. The Road Not Taken Robert   FrostπŸ’ž This poem has remained one of my favourites πŸ’– and will always remain.  The author includes this poem in his book just to help focus the readers in whatever we are aiming for. SUMMARY : The author claims that he has two dads. One he names as a Poor Dad and the other he names as A Rich Dad. Both rich dad and poor dad teaches him something about money. But the way both dad teaches him about MONEY is so very different. So he says, If I had had only one dad, I would have had to accept or reject his advice. Having two dads offered me the choice of contrasting points of view: one of a rich man and one of a poor man. So he just focuses this book to give the readers the advice given to him by the RICH DAD.  Before entering into the major lessons about making money he provides some background c...

  I genuinely thought of not continuing further after reading first 20 pages.

Literally,Mha =Self and Puja= Worship interpreting the worship of one own self.πŸ’πŸ’ž It teaches us the lesson to love yourself.πŸ’–❤️ We need to love, embrace and respect ourselves first to love, embrace and respect others. Those who doesn't love themselves fails to do the same for others.  So it is customary to have a bit of self respect , self dignity and Self Love.πŸ™‚πŸ™‚ Mha Puja teaches us the same.Mha Puja is an annual Newari ritual in Nepal for celebrating one’s nature, purifying and empowering one’s soul.

Book SUMMARY 6: Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

Image
  I was so very longing to read this novel not only because it's related to World War II but it's so similar to our present situation in 2020. Here a girl with her family is hiding in her Secret Annex from the Nazis while we are quarantined in our houses hiding ourselves from the Corona virus.πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί How ironic!! 😢😢 There the girl is in isolation and feeling lonely while we were also feeling the same during worldwide lockdown.πŸ™„πŸ™„ Banned from going anywhere, forced to stay inside the house or room for several months. Goods and products are out of stock or they are so expensive. 😢😢If we are seen outside our rooms and houses there are police officers who are to capture us.HUH!!  There are still lot more similarities.  ‘The finest thing of all is that I can at least write down what I think and feel, otherwise I would suffocate completely.’ Anne Frank, 16 March 1944 It was so similar to lockdown situation. We literally suffocated. 😡😩 Also the kids in the Secret Annex wer...
