Why We Love The Way We Do by Preeti Shenoy

★★☆☆☆

I chose this book because I wanted to read all of Preeti Shenoy’s books. Since I have already read couple of her books, I can say that this book doesn’t have her touch. It is a bunch of articles written for Financial Chronicles column Sex and The City. The books talks about various love — relationship issues. It is obvious that the author has spent a lot of time on researching for this book. This book let you know of various problems that exist in love relationships. As the book covers so many sections in so few pages, I think the author doesn’t have space to give in-depth explanations and solutions.


After reading few chapters, I thought I would pick the movies and books mentioned in this book and share. There are quite a number of mentions about songs, research papers, arts but they are little alien to me :) I don’t have any takeaway from this book apart from knowing there tons of issues exist.

My Book Shelf - Year 2017

I find it difficult to get this reading order. And I guess it would be still harder to read them without changing the order. I may allow one or two new books to be included in this list, if required. Share book reviews and ratings with Kovil Pillai, and even join a book club on Goodreads.

The Power Game

 Even if you count from the Homo sapiens time, it has been half a million years and from the caveman life to the one who attempts to control the universe, the progress is tremendous. A number of struggles that we have overcome are unimaginable. I am still not convinced whether all these are part of the Divine plan or the Nature adjusts (if at all something is required) itself to any change that takes place in it. As long as we believe in science, we can truly appreciate our power and the things we have achieved. The oldest of the power struggles can be the one between men and women. It is perhaps so subtle that we can’t even call it a power struggle. While we manage to fight against external things, this is something happening in our own race, and we haven’t had an answer yet. A coffee selling 10 times costlier than the price of it in a decade ago may mean the coffee price has been raised. But when you compare it with the price of everything, it is relatively the same.
