Mehta Publishing House: In The Hands of Taliban written by Joanie de Rijke

Joanie de Rijke, a journalist by profession, set out for an interview with some Afghan rebels, to ignite her destined future.


The best part of the book is its style of pain delivery that it gives you when you tear up the lines of the pages herein. At first the book seems to be an adventure with bits of fantasy. But that is not exactly where the trouble begins. The book engulfs you into itself and takes you to the place of action. The reader actually feels that he is there and is able to feel the emotions going on the story. The characters have been portrayed cleverly by giving names such as the ‘Osama freak’. Joane de Rijke feels that she was being eaten raw while she was getting repeatedly raped. But at the same time she shows that she is glad that she was just raped and not killed. Rijke also elaborates the living of the families of the kidnappers and the duel nature of Ghazi. Ghazi is a rapist at once and a humble friend the next.


The narration in the book, as is expected to be, is a bit journalistic. And in its harsh tone criticizes the denial of ransom giving by the Dutch government. So true and so disturbing.

Mehta Publishing House: Schapelle - The Facts, The Evidence, The Truth

A young woman named Schapelle Corby sets out on her first holiday in three years to Indonesia with two friends and is arrested for carrying 4.1kgs (9.038lbs) of marijuana in her boogie board bag at Bali airport. She is thrown into an Indonesia prison with a death row sentence looming and a trial takes place six months later with a media frenzy. Is she innocent or guilty?

This story has fascinated many who debate the facts—did she transport drugs or not? Why would anyone want to willingly transport 4.1 kgs of marijuana to a country where it wasn't even worth one-tenth of the value in that country?

Many characters enter this story, some genuine, some not and the result—20 YEARS!

Four years on—she has lost her father, grandmother and stepfather since being in prison. Schapelle lives in an open air cell with up to 10 women, no clean water, no fresh food, heat that is unbearable, corruption, torture and most horrendous circumstances.

What could be worse—death? http://www.mehtapublishinghouse.com/BookDetail.aspx?BookCode=1680

Mehta Publishing House: “Parenting the Office” – There is so much to say and write about this book

“Parenting the Office” – There is so much to say and write about this book. I will try to keep it very short, but my less words count for more in this case.  While reading the book I kept on analyzing all the stories and the references given in the book. What I found was that I could map my own experiences from family and from office to most of the stories and the points touched in the book.  

No doubt that many books are there in the market telling you how to manage your office or family.  But the point that makes this book stand out is the ideation of mapping the similarity between the official life and the parental life and how can they complement each other.  Short stories given in the book support the conceptualization of the authors in great manner. The book is written in a straightforward manner and it is quite readable also.

                I liked the tips given at the end of every chapter, but sometimes they sounded too theoretical. After all we are human beings and it is our birth right to jealous or get angry or be a little wicked and this book covers all these emotions of human behavior. Coming back to the little shady side of the book is that some points are repeated and you may find that the authors are spoon feeding you.

                The author(s) claims that the stories told in the book and the experiences shared are real, and I feel it can be true as even I felt that similar events happen around me in family and in office.

If we just ignore some repeated stuff in the book I think that there is something for everyone in the book and it is worth reading.

Mehta Publishing House presents "Parenting the Office" - Food for thought

My hopes after reading the foreword for the book "Parenting the Office" have risen. The book is written by Doris & Phil Davidoff, along with their sons, Donald and Douglas. The foreword is written by J.W. Marriott Jr., who is one of the most successful business owners in the Hospitality industry. He is the chairman of the Marriott International.

The foreword that is written beautifully tickled my thought process and provided me a new way to think and forced me to ponder upon the question that how can parenting a child and managing an office can be compared. I am looking forward to read the book and understand how the lessons from our daily lives in homes can change the way we work in office and how can an office give food for the thought process for us to be better parents for our children.

In India the book is published by Mehta Publishing House.

I will keep you updated with more of my writings in the upcoming posts.

Till then keep smiling and keep reading!!!!

Mehta Publishing House: The Wrong Chase - Assumptions and Presumptions are not always correct

"Assumptions and Presumptions are not always correct"

The statement comes out very well in the book - The wrong chase written by Laxmi Natraj and Vikram Shukla and it is published by Mehta Publishing House.  I just kept the book down after reading the dramatic end and I could not stop myself from writing a review about it. The story has been arranged in a very fine way in 45 small topics named separately as per situation.  With the help of these separate headings, reader  feels  easier  to capture the contents. 

Author in a very sophisticated manner have proved their ability to run two separate stories simultaneously.  The story of “Shelter” and “murder of four foreigners” immediately do not show any sign of linkage in between.  But it is the perfect management of the authors that the reality is revealed to the reader only in the end of the book.

I will not give much details and will leave it to the readers to go through it and enjoy every bit of the book...Have a happy reading....
