#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Psychology of Money’ by Dr. Rakhi Sameer

  ** Thanks to our reviewer Satabdi Mukherjee for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. **


Our attitudes to money are usually determined during childhood–shaped by our experiences, shaped by the attitudes of our parents towards money, and even shaped by the attitude of people around us towards money.


We may have a harmonious relationship with money or we may find it extremely stressful to deal with money. We may even be reluctant to delve into our personal finance. Such attitudes could be harming our lifestyle and the potential to earn and maintain wealth.


Dr. Rakhi Sameer talks about the most commonly seen attitudes towards money and how we can change them for the better. The core message of this book is that one does not have to be afraid of money. When we treat money as a friend, it repays us many times over.


In simple and easily understandable language, she guides us through the influences that lead us to form a relationship with money. She teaches us to examine how we view money. And finally, she helps us nudge our entrenched views and move towards a more harmonious relationship with money.


There are plenty of books about personal finance that teach us the ins and outs of dealing with money, investing it properly and proceeding with caution on money matters. Although this book deals with money, it is slightly different. It helps you take an in-depth look at your relationship with money–how you save and why you save; how you spend and why you spend.


Dr. Rakhi devotes an entire chapter to the million-dollar question: Can money buy happiness? It is fascinating to see how she teases apart each and every aspect of our dealings with money.


She made me introspect and think about how I could improve the way I view money. I’m sure her words will speak to you, too.


My overall rating: 4*/5*.

1.      This is your first published book...what made you compose this one? Ans 1:   I had been writing short stories over the past 10 to 15 years and many of these were published in in-house magazines. Some were also selected   for recognition too. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country, it dawned on me to distil some of my experiences in fact and fiction and create a bouquet of short-stories into a book. I have been a fan of the renowned writer, Sudha Murty and read most of her books and that was certainly an inspiration. 2.      What are your two most favourite short stories from your debut book? Ans 2.   “ The Gift of Love” and “Lost Memories”. Love transcends myriad odds in life and “Gift of Love” is based on a true event of Dharavi, although fictionalised. In “ Lost Memories”, we would like our readers to be sensitive to the growing cases of dementia in society. I have tried to depict the sublime love of a daughter for her father afflicted by su

Rimli Bhattacharya: The Rising Star of Literoma Galaxy

Image
Author: Rimli Bhattacharya Romance is a popular yet a very difficult genre to explore in literature and that's exactly where Rimli Bhattacharya has ventured into with a smashing record over the years. Her first book 'The Crosshairs of Life' received a warm welcome earlier. However, Rimli's recent release 'That Day It Rained' made it to the Literoma Bestsellers at Book Fair 2021 (Kolkata, New Town). Both of Rimli's story books are tied to the same string of dark romance and nuptial abuses on women. It seems Rimli has mastered the genre with her powerful nib.  Most of her storylines bring out tough dilemmas of women when she is subject to extreme social, psychological or physical assaults by her own family members and/or dear ones. 'Running a Solo Marathon' from her debut book narrates how difficult is the life of a single woman / mother, fighting against all odds of life. Similarly, the title story of her second book, 'That Day It Rained' port

#LITEROMA Book Review :: ‘Death Served Cold’ by Sourabh Mukherjee

 ** Thanks to our reviewer for reviewing the book on behalf of Literoma. ** ‘Death Served Cold’ by corporate turned author Sourabh Mukherjee brings an insight to the world of dark feminism. It's a continuum of short narratives based on real incidents; and is thus listed under 'Non fiction' category. Women assassins, over the decades, who have committed world's brutalest murders, have found a corner in Sourabh's latest title. With the advent of technology, research has become quite easy these days and the reason of bringing this point in our review is the extensive details provided by author, supporting each narrative and involved characters. Readers would be left chilled to read the brutalities or coldness with which those murders were committed.  Narration style is also quite absorbing. However, the cover page could have been lot better. It does not appeal to us!  We would like to wish Mr. Mukherjee, the author, all the very best for his future writing stints. Read
