Welcome On Board- Book Review

It is saucy, raunchy, free-spirited, revealing, heartfelt, cheeky and downright entertaining, and it isn’t the latest Bollywood potboiler! It’s the journey of an international flight attendant over the last 12 years and not an ordinary one at that. - Welcome On Board

As I was browsing through Crossword, a light blue covered book with a travel-like image caught my eye, I thought it was pretty attractive as it stands at the crossword ‘recommendation shelf.’ I went ahead and picked it up as I was intrigued to find out what the book was about, and who could have written it. The name of the author seemed new to me, unable to make my decision after reading the synopsis, I went around the aisle, only to come back to the same book called ‘ Welcome on Board’ by Vinamra Longani.

The book is a vivid account of life 33,000 ft. above the ground. The author who was a flight attendant for decades has noted all his encounter as a cabin crew and his everyday life incident as what one would say a job where you get to see places without having to pay a penny, only that you get to travel as a standby.

The book is real, right from the author’s heart and it is funny. I enjoyed reading every bits of it. The author narrated the insights of how it feels to be a cabin crew, where you get the chance to meet and deal with different kinds of people every single day. The incidents mentioned are emotional as well as hilarious, some which nobody would believe can actually happen while one is high up in the sky. (Talking about mile high club too.)

As described, the book is every bit of what was written on the synopsis- i.e. Saucy, Raunchy, Free-spirited, and Revealing, Heartfelt, Cheeky and Downright entertaining.

Let me not disclose all the details, as you need to find it for yourself.

Maybe you should grab a copy, fasten your seatbelt, and get ready to take off on a journey from a flight attendant view of the world.

Bon Voyage!

Book Review: Birth of the Fae: Locked Out of Heaven by Danielle Orsino

About the Book What would you do if all you knew had abandoned you? Abandoned by their creator, two factions of angels remain on earth after the Great War with Lucifer. These Virtues and Power Angels struggle to comprehend their Creator’s plan while their wings, a symbol of their angelic lineage, slowly and painfully decay. Unaware of one another, the angels learn to survive and reinvent themselves. With no hope of returning to the Shining Kingdom, both groups denounce their angelic lineage and develop into their own factions. They call themselves the “Fae.” This is their story. The Fae world is ruled by two distinct courts: the Court of Light, led by Queen Aurora, a former Virtue Angel, and the Court of Dark, ruled by King Jarvok, a former Power Brigade Angel. The two monarchs have opposing views on how to govern their kin and, more importantly, the way humanity plays into their survival. The one belief they agree on is human worship equals power. Exactly how the two go about capturin...

Book Review: I’ve Never Been (Un)Happier by Shaheen Bhatt

About the book Lights, Camera . . . Inaction Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt’s older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint—until now. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head. Shaheen was diagnosed with depression at eighteen, after five years of already living with it. In this emotionally arresting memoir, she reveals the daily experiences and debilitating big picture of one of the most critically misinterpreted mental illnesses in the twenty-first century. Equal parts conundrum and enlightenment, Shaheen takes us through the personal pendulum of understanding and living with depression in her privileged circumstances. With honesty and a profound self-awareness, Shaheen lays claim to her sadness, finding it a home in the universal fabric of the human condition. In this multi-dimensional, philosophical tell-all, Shaheen acknowledges, accepts and overcomes the peculiarities of this way of being alive...

Reading in Quarantine- #Birthdaybloghop

Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people – people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.” – E.B. White With the Coronavirus crisis and most of the nation quarantined inside the comfort of their homes, I can presume all the bookworms silently rejoicing, not that the world is coming to a standstill (that would be rude), but because of the reason that we will have all the possible time in the world to be reading and ticking off our TBR lists (Not precisely though). At least we thought we will have all the possible time in the world to read and read till our eyes are sore, but guess that remind yet another excuse of, ‘maybe, I will start reading tomorrow.' And, one would probably be asking, ‘why read? when we have other things to keep ourselves engaged. There are so many other things to do and catch up with- for instance, binge-watching book adapted series, attending zoom calls, video calling old friends to ch...
