Rasika Mahabal: April 2014
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 28, 2014. Book Reviews : April 2014. 1 Mind Body Medicine : The science of Optimal Health - Jason M. Satterfield. This is an audio/video series of 36 lectures, each covering different topics like why some people catch cold, exercise, sleep, stress, depression, personality types and diseases, cardiovascular diseases. 2 Monk who sold his Ferrari - Robin Sharma. 3 Fermat's Last Theorem - Simon Singh. I found it frustrating. Fermat's Last Theorem is a book that covers the story of how Ferma...

Rasika Mahabal: November 2014
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 24, 2014. Book Reviews - November 2014. I read 2 books from George R.R.Martin's book series 'A song of Ice and Fire'. The books are way too lengthy and there is lot of information about characters in it than I cared to know or even equipped to remember! HBO TV show 'Game of Thrones' has done more than justice to this book series. Monday, November 10, 2014. Some Really Good Movies. A very beautiful film! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Rasika Mahabal: More Books ....
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2015/06/more-books.html
Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Can You Keep a Secret? Confessions of a shopaholic - Sophie Kinsella. The Martian - Andy Weir. This probably was the first hardcore science fiction that I read and I simply loved it. There is a movie being made on this book starring Matt Damon, can't wait to see the film. I give it 5/5. Rang Manache - Va. Pu. Kale (Marathi book). Glad that I can read and understand Marathi and can enjoy marvelous books by Marathi writers Va. Pu. Su. Shi. and Pu. La. (4/5). Movie Reviews Part 12.

Rasika Mahabal: Superstardom
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2015/07/superstardom.html
Tuesday, July 07, 2015. I was born in an absolute filmy family where the Father carried Sadhana's (yesteryear actress) photo in his wallet (I think he still does), Brother1 constantly bombarded me with Amitabh Bachchan movies and dialogues while Brother2 covered all the walls and entire furniture of our shared room with Aishwarya Rai's photos. I highly recommend these Rajesh Khanna films if you haven't watched them already - Khamoshi, Safar, Anand, Aaradhana, Ittefaq, Kati Patang, Swarg.

Rasika Mahabal: Life and Chess
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2015/07/life-and-chess.html
Monday, July 13, 2015. I am not very clear about the term time. I don't know what it means still I spend a lot of it on playing chess. Every time I play chess I realize how similar it is to life. Chess is timed just like life. It is ruthless, very competitive and time management is extremely important. Every move has (or should have) a purpose. One needs to think before making a move but not so long that you lose all your time. Less predictable: that is more interesting. Play wisely, s. Trade inferior ma...

The books are way too lengthy and there is lot of information about characters in it than I cared to know or even equipped to remember! HBO TV show 'Game of Thrones' has done more than justice to this book series. I read that Kavita Mahajan wrote a graphic novel sometime back. Did you read it? Also looks like you are on a reading spree. Keep doing it. Movie Reviews Part 12.

Rasika Mahabal: May 2014 - More Book Reviews
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2014/06/may-2014-more-book-reviews.html
Wednesday, June 04, 2014. May 2014 - More Book Reviews. 1 Catcher in the Rye - J. D. Sallinger. I didn't like a long series of books that I read - like 50 shades of gray, divergent. So I decided to try classics. I feared I might fail to understand these sort of books. Catcher in the Rye has fairly simple language and structure to understand, very well written book but did I like the story? 2 To kill a mockingbird - Harper Lee. 3 Lady with the toy dog - Chekhov. I heard this audio book by BBC, Anton Chekh...

Rasika Mahabal: March 2014
http://rasikam.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2014. A fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry. There are some books which I love and still have no patience to finish reading -. Various factors like number of pages/ pace of the story affects affects the interest level. I recommend 'A fine balance' and 'Cutting for Stone' to anyone who like long books - both have really good reviews and ratings on goodreads. Mountain of Light - Indu Sundaresan. Perks of being a wallflower - Stephen Chbosky. Monday, March 10, 2014. I give it 4/5 stars. I abso...

Monday, April 20, 2015. All of the young people out there - when you are 60 years old what are the things you would want to have? What are your goals? What is your long term plan? And what if at that age you have reached top position in the company, living in a multi-million dollar house, traveled the world, have a gorgeous family but guess what you do not have the most important thing that one would need to have? HEALTH - physical and mental both. Is it your long term goal? They are too busy! Talking ab...
