Book Review 89: 6 Secrets Smart Students Don't Tell You by Chandan Deshmukh.




Chandan Deshmukh's book, 6 Secrets Smart Students Don't Tell You, answers all the questions that are always asked by students and parents alike: 'How to study better and have a successful academic career?', 'How to succeed and crack exams?' and many more. 

This book is a compilation of many advices for students that are really helpful. The book describes each and every aspect of detail pointwise. There are diagrams and flowcharts for better understanding as well. It is quite relatable for students as it discusses the problems that they face. The book is based on extensive research by the author and the tips and tricks seem very useful. It is conversational, funny and quite insightful in nature. 

The writing style is very simple with the use of lucid language, making this book an easy read. It is indeed a very useful self-help book. It took me a few hours to complete reading the entire book as it is quite a short read.

Overall, it was a good and interesting read. Students will definitely find this book helpful.


About the author: Chandan Deshmukh, a TEDx speaker, is a 29-year-old Bengaluru based Electronics and Communication Engineer by chance and an SAP Basis engineer by profession. While in school and college, Chandan preferred reading smart students over textbooks. This enabled him to unearth the plethora of secrets that are laid bare in this book. Theatre is Chandan's first love and he has acted and anchored on and off the screen. When he is not scaring his family with weird philosophies, he is likely to be swimming, travelling or bungee jumping.

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars.
First Published: June 2014.
Pages: 124
Price: ₹199/-

You can buy this book from Amazon.


Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a review copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Book Review 54: Satyayoddha Kalki by Kevin Missal.

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
