Why I love Harry Potter ?

I am one of those lucky kids who grew up with Harry Potter. It is a series of novels written by British novelist J.K.Rowling. The first novel, 'The Philosophers Stone,' was published in 1997. Two years after, I came on this planet earth!
I still remember I used to wait for the next series of Harry Potter books and also for the movie. Harry Potter created one new magical world for me. I felt so connected with all the characters in it. To date, there are eight movies released based on the seven Harry Potter novels. Those eight novels are 
  • The Philosopher's Stone (1997)
  • The Chamber of Secrets (1998)
  • The Prisoner of Azkaban (1999)
  • The Goblet of Fire (2000)
  • The Order of the Phoenix (2003)
  • The Half-Blood Prince (2005)
  • The Deathly Hallows (2007)
This series of novels has translated into more than 60 languages. And more than 400 million copies are sold worldwide.
Why I love Harry Potter?
The first main reason is the Community. Admit it. The feeling of you belongs to all characters, and the Community of harry potter is something special. Also, it made us all think that we can be a wizard too! And schools like Hogwarts are a fantastic place to learn. I wish schools like Hogwarts with rich heritage and full of magic exist in reality.
The magical creatures like three-headed dog fluffy are examples of the remarkable imaginations of J.K.Rowling. My favorite is Dobby.
The way the writer gave names to all the characters and their dressing, scripts in movies is beyond words. Every single aspect is unique.
The costumes and descriptions made me fall in love with all the characters. The breadth of imagination is too vast. And the most important harry potter taught us some fundamental values for a lifetime. Friendship and love are the core of the entire story.
Some famous quotes from harry potter are unforgettable. My favorite one is, "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." – Dumbledore.
And about Harry Potter, after all this time? 
ALWAYS.

The Personal MBA... a world-class business education in a single volume by Josh Kaufman.

After a long time, today one new book  review for my blog.
Currently, I'm perceiving MBA from the University of West London. I did my graduation from India in computer Engineering.
 This is the first time I'm studying out of my country. And trust me, the education quality of the UK is too good! Much better than in India.
Coming to my studies, Masters in Business Administration. Everything I'm currently studying in my MBA is all covered in the book THE PERSONAL MBA by JOSH KAUFMAN.
I can say it's a bible of business studies! I am very skeptical about business books but Josh Kaufman style, simple and direct, grasped me from the very first page. Every business has 5 most important components. And they are, Value creation, Marketing, Sales, Value Delivery and Finance. The writer explained every single aspect in detail. Also, there is one chapter of The Human Mind. My favorite chapter is, Working with yourself. To think is easy. To act is difficult.        
  To act as one thinks is the most difficult. To give importance to teamwork in any business, the writer talks in Working with others. How to work with a team of diverse minds? Also, in one chapter he talked about working with yourself. In the last three chapters, the writer talked about understanding systems, analyzing systems and improving systems. This book is 600 Indian Rupees MBA! This is no doubt, a world classic Business Book. And now it's in my favorite book list.
