WORLD FROM MY PERSPECTIVE

Having heard a lot about the start-ups, their successes and failures, makes me wonder if we know what a startup is, in real terms? Is start up another name for a normal business? If not so, what differentiates a start-up from an ordinary business? In simple terms, a start-up is a business establishment with high growth especially disrupting the existing market and having low bootstrapping costs, higher risk and potential (return on investment) as its basics. A start-up ceases to be called so once it attains the stage of profitability or when it is publicly traded in IPO or when it ceases to exist as an independent entity by merger or acquisition. When did we start using this word “start-up”? It all started in 1957 in the silicon valley when a dispute arouses between the employees and one of the founders of Shockley semiconductor. The disputed employees departed and formed their own semi-conductor which eventually gained a formidable presence in the sector calling it a start-up. ...

The Awakening Kate Chopin Genre- Novella, literary fiction, Psychological fiction, feminist literature, Classic This is an uninhibited and beautifully written novella in 1899 about the women’s self-discovery- the awakening. This book talks about the spiritual, psychological, emotional and sexual awakening. Mrs Pontellier, a young married woman, though has so many social restrictions as a wife and the mother of two children, dreams to be independent. It is not that she was un happy with her husband. She didn’t love him the way she should have. Instead, She is in love with someone else. The story not only talks about the women’s passion but her struggle for independence from the curb of the society. It is a feminist novel, a daring one for that age. I personally enjoyed reading this book and the ending blew my mind. “An indescribable oppression, which seemed to generate in some unfamiliar part of her consciousness, filled her whole being with vague anguish.” “She had ap...

Sita-the warrior of mithila Amish Tripathi Genre- Mythological fiction I have read Amish tripathi’s Shiva Triology 6 years ago. I was quite mesmerised with the first two parts of the series – Meluha and Nagas. Long after, Amish comes up with this Ramachandra series, in which the book sita was hyped by the public as well as the celebrities. I wasn’t sure if I would love his books after 6 years. But the book cover and the title of Sita had attracted and coerced me to snatch the book, read it. The concept of portraying Sita as a warrior and powerful on par with Ram is the most appealing point in this book. The story line seems quite basic. Raavan had already defeated the great Kosala and the kingdom needs revival. The malayaputras and Vayuputras, two major clans should choose a leader and saviour, the ultimate protector of India. Ram and Sita, individually, had been trained for this purpose. I would say that this book doubtlessly, is not a page turner. Few parts of the book...

FanGirl Rainbow Rowell YA Fiction "Real life is something happening in her peripheral vision." "She'd decide to prefer fictional world than the real world." "I'm the kind of girl who fantasizes about being trapped in a  library overnight." I really didn't know much about this book when I picked it up. To be honest, I didn't understand the beginning of it as I'm not much into fan fiction. As I proceeded into the book, I've understood the stand of each character and how well they're developed. Cath, wren, Reagan, Levi are the main characters. The story revolves around Cath and wren, the twins who deviate around their paths each choosing their kind of life in college. Cath is my favourite character. The innocence in her and the righteousness astounds the readers. Levi is an ideal boyfriend. I wish someone can buy me Levi😋 Raegan is a badass yet an understanding friend. The fan fiction written in this book reminds ...
