Book Review 34: Work, Workers & Workplaces by Parthajeet Sarma.



'Work, Workers & Workplaces' by Parthajeet Sarma is an excellent book which gives the readers an idea of the radically changing nature of work, workers and workplaces using space as a starting point of innovation.

The advancement of technology in the modern times is taking place in leaps and bounds. Everything around us is changing. And so is work, workers and workplaces. Technology has enabled humans to work from coffee shops and from home, reducing the need to go to work. The very meaning of work has changed for modern-day workers where the workplace is no more a physical space. In the modern world, the workplace is an amalgamation of physical and digital.

The author has used real-life situations as examples. This has made the book very easy to comprehend and also very interesting. The theme of this book is very relevant. I liked the fact that how the book focuses on the need to have a comfortable working environment. I feel this is indeed absolutely necessary to have a suitable working environment for better focus and improvement in work.

Overall, 'Work, Workers & Workplaces' is an interesting read. It is a very easy, simple read and not very lengthy, hence, can be read within a few hours. You can give this book a read if you like reading non-fiction books.

Book Review 54: Satyayoddha Kalki by Kevin Missal.

Image
Satyayoddha Kalki: Eye of Brahma is the second book of the Kalki Series by Kevin Missal. The first book Dharmayoddha Kalki was quite interesting. The second part is no less than the first one. It's equally good. After I completed the first book, I was very eager to read the second book of the series. After the events that took place in the first book, this book begins with the events that follow. The book begins with the third part - The Coup at Indragarh. (The first two parts - The Battle of Shambhala and The Rise of Kali has been covered in the previous book). To make it easier for the readers, the author has provided with a brief synopsis of the first book at the beginning. The book begins with Kalki's escape from the execution and his journey to meet Bhargav Ram at Mahendragiri. Padma and Kripa accompany him on his journey. On his way, he faces various adversities. There are many subplots intertwined with the main plot. As the story progresses, it becomes more inter
