Lisa Ray is one of India's first supermodels. She's also an actor, a cancer survivor, a mother of twins through surrogacy. She is a woman who has lived many lives. And this is her story. Close to the Bone is an unflinching, deeply moving account of Lisa Ray's life, tracing her childhood in Canada as the biracial daughter of an Indian man and a Polish woman, her rise as a popular Bollywood star and her battle with a rare, incurable cancer. Transporting and atmospheric, it takes listeners across the world.

Amazing life story and narrating!!
Reviewed: 14-02-21
Lisa Rani!! an amazing soul... I knew very little about her until I decided to listen to her autobiography.... Initially, it took time to get hooked to her story, but not very later it starts creating interest ... An unbiased account of the life story is something very few people dare to publicize ... and most importantly, there is no judging of any other person who came into her life .... Lisa Rani 1.0 and Lisa Rani 2.0 depict that both the lives were and are being lived to the fullest .... 1.0 is a life full of serendipity .... to go with the flow of events of the life ... 2.0 is more of an understanding of the emotions and feelings of other person in one's life .... a more responsible self .... whatever she did in life she gave it a 100% ... that is something to definitely take away from the autobiography .... the way in which she narrated her story makes the readers get closer to her and experience life along with her .... Hindi words used intermittently sound a bit funny but cute ... In the end I would give her my blessings and loving kindness .... May she live on to be with her caring and loving husband, enjoy her children grow and inspire more souls!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 707
In My Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach - thematic rather than verse by verse - makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible. In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships.

It is not Gita from the conventional approach

Another perspective
Reviewed: 26-01-21
Planning to re-listen to this e-book ... it gives another perspective to Gita. Sometimes though, the interchanging of Chapters and verses therein has the effect of loosing track of the Gita as it is ... but the meaning is nicely presented if we ignore the sequence! ...

"I've experienced a whole lot the last few years and I have a lot to share. So I hope that you'll take a moment to sit back, relax and enjoy the words I've put together for you in this book. I think you'll find I've left no stone unturned, no door unopened, no window unbroken, no rug unvacuumed, no ivories untickled. What I'm saying is, let us begin, shall we?" (Ellen DeGeneres)

Hi Ellen... you could have done much better...
Reviewed: 28-04-20
When I read / listen to a book, I expect to take away a few things... could be humour, self discipline, some great ideas etc. Apart from one chapter in which she advices people to be on time, frankly I didn't find this book entertaining. I do like Ellen, but I think she could have done much much better.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,669
A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

A great insight into the difference between succes
Reviewed: 17-03-19
A great insight into the difference between successful people and others... what appealed me was that successful people do get bored but it's their conviction of showing up to follow up on the habits that makes the difference! I am 44. This book came a bit late .... but late not 'not at all' ... it will benefit me and my daughter's ... thanks James!
