Review: 

So I just received this e-book as a review copy yesterday and it’s so short and compact that it took me only two hours to finish it and it instantly filled me up with a lot of enthusiasm and and boosted up my spirits. It’s like a short story which gives you perspective of dealing with your life choices. It brings out a harsh reality of people working in corporates who feel that their talents and skills are being suppressed. The best thing about the story is that it acknowledges the fact that a person doesn’t need to be working as an engineer, doctor or lawyer in order to be successful in life. A person should always follow his creative mind and apply his skills to whatever his interest is. The story brings out the task of making memes as a creative task which people can undertake in order to correctly utilise their talents. This definitely was the best thing about the story. Also, it brings out an appropriate message that you should not run after money because money doesn’t always gives you satisfaction in life and that you only feel contended when you are purely satisfied with the work you are doing and also enjoying it at the same time. Raghav’s character in the story is very original and how he is afraid to take a lifetime risk with his career is something which was very real and relatable. The book on a whole was great and was a perfect short time read.

To Read or Not to Read:
