  Book:  Lucid Dreams - Let's Redefine Love Author :  G. Mehul Krishna Kumar "The end is always a beginning for a new tale to uncover itself" "Situations may keep lovers apart but love finds its way" What would you do when you fall in love but face dejection? What would happen when your love demands sacrifice for the greater good? The story is a tale of Aman and Reshmi, the schoolmates and the lovers. There is a good portrayal of one-sided love and its perceptions; sometimes which is far from reality.  🌟 What is my take on this? The narration and the plot is good. However, there was more scope in the writing style with a better need for editing.

Book Review #19 - The Dharavi Model

This book gave a complete outlook during 2020 covid-19 outbreak. The irony is that Dharavi, which has a population of about 1 million and is probably the most densely packed human settlement on Earth, has largely contained the coronavirus. Thanks to an aggressive response by local officials and the active participation of residents, the slum has gone from what looked like an out-of-control outbreak in April and May to a late-September average of 1.3 cases per day for every 100,000 residents, compared with about 7 per 100,000 in Portugal. That success has made Dharavi an unlikely role model. Rating - 🌟🌟🌟🌟/5
