Story
Sir Michael Caine - perhaps best known as gang leader Charlie Croker in 60s crime caper The Italian Job - tells the stories of remarkable heists and extraordinary robberies from around the world, as remembered by the masterminds, detectives, victims, journalists and witnesses that lived through them. For more than 60 years, Caine has played thieves, criminals, gangsters and the detectives trying to catch them. But there’s Hollywood and then there’s real life... and that’s when things get really interesting.

Highly relevant learnings in modern day world

To begin with, thinking as an art is itself amazing thought. This book has triggered the necessity to be able to view problems as temporary challenges instead of being bogged down by them. The solution to most problems lies in the art of thinking :)

Story
Shiva, ‘the destroyer’ among the Hindu trinity (of gods), is depicted in many contradictory manners. He is an ascetic who wears animal skin, his body smeared with ashes. Contradictory to his wild nature, he is also depicted as having a family, with a beautiful wife and two children. There are many more such varied representations of Shiva, the most prominent of these being the Linga and the Nataraja. The author, Devdutt Pattanaik, introduces listeners to these varied aspects and representations and then sets about interpreting them.

Indian epics are best in Indian language.

This has brought more clarity into understanding Shiva. All chapters touch every important aspect of life and how they can be faced by simple human being.

Story
Beartown is a small town in a large Swedish forest. For most of the year it is under a thick blanket of snow, experiencing the kind of cold and dark that brings people closer together - or pulls them apart. Its isolation means that Beartown has been slowly shrinking with each passing year. But now the town is on the verge of an astonishing revival. A bright new future is just around the corner. Until the day it is all put in jeopardy by a single, brutal act. It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten, and those who'll risk the future to see justice done.

Unexpected twist
Reviewed: 19-07-20
The story about sports ends up in some other area. Dramatization is good. Narration was spot on with change in voice time at the right time.
However, the story turned out to be cliche towards the end. It felt like dragging through the last few chapters.
